Seeing the China virus as an opportunity is very strange, to say the least.

Very nice pie in the sky wish list Everald! Although a little short on, how to, detail? All opposed at some level by very powerful players and their political lackeys! And by those welded to this or that idealogical imperitive or, you can't do that, thinking!

Yes, we could turn all the negatives into positives and I know how that could be done with absolute certainty and without creating any actual debt or any greater impost on the taxpayer!

But cannot see any reason to provide that imput when others are paid annual millions to borrow purloin/steal/provide it, while I exist in penury! A debate or fishing expedition for practical ideas when your own ideas larder, is empty?

Why don'tyou put your own, how to, ideas out there and let the usual (abusive) naysayers tell you all the reasons it won't/can't work? And one could add, in most instances, because they don't want it to or are terrified, it might?

The future belongs to a younger generation and not to old hasbeens who know all the reasons it can't be done or won't work! And they've been with us since the dawn of civilisaion opposing change for opposition's sake. If man were meant to fly, he'd have been born with wings, etc-etc. And as a litany from the luddites on down to mordern day radiophobics.

And welded to the spot by imagined/baseless, the sky will fall fear, rather than real or factual reason.

If our future is not a nuclear-powered future we will not have a viable future. If it is one controlled by small-minded bean counters? Ditto!

We just cannot keep repeating the old ideas and old (straight jacket/ fixed circle) thinking, Everald, all while expecting different outcomes!

Thinking inside a fixed circle of ideas, limits the questions and also, the acceptable ideas and by implication, the viable solutions/outcomes!

One of those outcomes has to be automation to the enth degree! Even in the old service industries. Automate or perish!

Productivity can not be further progressed by folk just working harder or longer, but in a (proven) four day week and by working from home wherever practicle or possible.
