I've never been persuaded by the trickle-down argument.

Where do you think the cash comes from to pay McDonald's staff and
other
services from if it isn't trickle down?

Certainly *not* from overpaid city gamblers. Do MacDonalds put
edible gold leaf on their burgers, or sell champagne at £250
a bottle to attract JP Morgan employees ?.


So where do they get it from then?


Do you eat at McDonalds?


No but some of the staff at Lidl do and that's trickle down in action.
It doesn't mean some billionaire goes and spend money in McDs (even if
they do) it means they spend it in shops, getting trades in to do jobs
and they spend what they get.

Strangely enough, around here, people work for money and do a pretty
good job. Maybe that's why we have a can do ethic and don't have
significant unemployment.


Yes and that is trickle down.

from normal people.

trickle down is supposed to come from the mega million pound salaries of
exces on the theory that if we enable them to earn three times mega
millions they will buy three times as much normal "stuff" creating three
times as many extra jobs.

But they don't, they just spend it on a house in a more upmarket area at
a price which has been artificially inflated above its real value
because there are all of these mega million pound execs with more money
that they deserve competing to buy it.

The only bit that has trickeled down to any normal person in this
scenario is the salesman in the estate agent.


And the builder and the cleaner and the electricity suppliers staff and ...

And where does that money the estate agent gets go, or do you think it
just vanishes?

I'd suggest you look at Aberdeen at the moment. Lots of restaurants
etc closing down due to the low oil prices so oil types losing
their jobs. And the housing market has crashed too. Worked stopped
on new builds.

It doesn't take a degree in economics to work out why.

It probably will.


Some banker wakes up with a boil on his nads and the FTSE takes a dive. It
means nothing unless it is sustained.

It means nothing unless you also look at trading volumes


It means nothing even when you do, too easy to manipulate.

Round here, the estate agents support local charites and sports clubs - on
the basis that supporting a vibrant community helps encourage house sales.

These so called experts (ie economists)have consistently let us down when it mattered.
So they are either liars, incompetent or easily bought.

A lot of politicians on the remain side were asked today when 'WW3' would
start or when the horrors of leavings would come about. I didn't hear one
straight answer. It seems now that you don't have to be a EU member to
also be a member of NATO


You never have had to have been. Even you must have noticed that the USA
isnt.

or take part in police and terrorist information co-operation etc. etc.
etc.


Ditto in spades.

I accept it is money that trickles down. The point is, it is a tiny
percentage of the total amount of the multi-millionaires new wealth, none of
the rest of which trickles down.

Yes - Juncker is exactly like the sort of drunken arseholes that started
wars in the 18th century
