I find that when I work in academia and I am presenting to an audience (as in my work, not my posterior), I adopt a pseudo foreign accent. This is because in any academic environment in the UK you will find a significant number of people who do not speak English as a native language and the accents all sort of mingle into one.

When I speak in academia, I usually don't speak my native language. But I also adopt a somewhat more British accent than usual.

Did you really work in any official position in the USA? It scares me to bits that someone like you could actually be anywhere near the nuclear chain.
I've never worked for state, local, or federal government in any position. Not sure what I said that made people think that.

You don't need a plan to get further into debt, it's going to happen regardless of what people try to do. Money is debt. Watch the video below to find out about fractional reserve banking. The economic system is inherently flawed.
In a nutshell though lending creates money. Money lent needs to be repaid back with interest so there is never enough money in existence to pay back all the loans. Debt always increases faster as a result. An upshot of this is that there will always be a percentage of the population that fail.
Yes I've seen that video before. Great short film to explain fiat currency.

At this point Donald Trump is just like a drunken opinionated arsehole in the back of a taxi, spouting off ill thought out shit.
Quote:The US Republican presidential front-runner, who is prone to making wildly inaccurate statements about security inside and outside the US, was speaking five days after the two Brussels airport blasts and Metro bomb which killed at least 31 people
He said Europe had lots of “very, very severe” problems and added that he did not even think America was a safe place for Americans.

The question is, if you want a drunken opionated arsehole having access to the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. Or to the largest econonomy.

Trump has been bought and sold many times over. His current "business plan" is to rent his name out to property developers, so that they can use his notoriety to sell their buildings, and he can use the pretense of owning building to inflate the general perception of his wealth. He's been a whore for a number of years now, because nobody will trust him with their money after four bankruptcies.
And in case you've not yet noticed, whores like Trump will always do what the highest bidder says.

While there are lagit franchise set ups, the more laws the rich write, the more legalized pick pocketing becomes, like a multi level marketing scam. As long as you the "name renter" can point to a few who do benefit, you get to excuse the bigger picture which is nothing but dumping the majority of business cost on those below you.
It is like you said, renting your name to create artificial wealth. It is simply a business model designed to maximize the benefit and minimize risk.

If he becomes president then I'm looking forward to the first bribery scandal. We all know Drumpf's fondness for displaying trinkets of wealth that inflate his ego. Would he actually be able to resist keeping some priceless work of art for himself?

Just seen in the news Trump is now saying Europe is not safe due to terrorism.
But the number of Europeans killed by terrorism this year is roughly 100 times less than the number of Americans killed by guns every year.
