Economy & Weather Change.

[Scythe13]

Okay, ready for some fun facts?

Unemployment is calculated by the number of people who sign up and pick up their job seekers allowance each week. How odd, being in a zero hour contract, and working 4 hours a week, actually qualifies you for other benefits, but not job seekers allowance. The same if you work zero hours, but are technically 'employed'. No JSA. Therefore, you are not a figure.

WOAH!!! Wait a minute, didn't the gov change job seekers to a 2 week payment? Magically halving the unemployment figure! Add to this the increasing shutting down of job centres, and the alike, and you magically have a much lower unemployment figure. Let's pretend there are no docked figures though, and you're still working at a minimum of 50% untruth.

Okay, time for inflation. There is something called Substitution, which the gov uses when calculating inflation. This principle alone totally screws the inflation rate. Let's say you eat 1 steak a week, value £8.00 from the shops. The next month the cost is £9.00. So the inflation rate should reflect a £1.00 rise on the £8.00, right? Giving 12.5%, right? WRONG!!! Substitution raises it's head and says that because £9.00 is too much, you'll change that steak for Chicken Breast, at £6.00, thus adding a sneaky -25% reduction, which then offsets increases in other foods. Isn't that a magical trick?

Want to see some more 'inflationary' magic? So, even though the potatoes, and apples have increased by 28%, you actually have only 1% increase in cost (they take the average increase, then subtract the average decrease, and divide by the total number of items, in this example 28% minus 25% giving 3%, then divided by 3, giving +1%...which is the amount the meal has increased by....URM...no wait a minute...that kind of maths would make you fail your GCSE's.....). Pretty crazy hu?

As for weather and the alike, everyone is talking about this weather model and that one, but ALL the weather models are by default...inaccurate. I'm not talking about our lack of ability to predict the weather...because that's well documented. I'm talking about our lack of understanding about how Cloud Seeding, and other GeoEngineering things will effect global weather. Maybe we are heading into a huge weather change, and climate change this, 333/666 model that, but the truth is, there is no way to tell what kind of effect man made weather manipulation is having! I'm not going to quote any 'odd' references. Only show people about documented cases, e.g. the Chinese gov manipulating the weather for the olympics by cloud seeding...FACT...look it up.

The truth is, our inflation figures are miles off. Our unemployment is far from accurate. Our weather is being played with and the consequences of that are beyond our ability to gauge.

When it all comes down to it, we are playing with things we have no idea of what the far-reaching effects could be. We are running through a dark hallway with our eyes closed, and thinking we'll be able to make it through, because the hall is never ending. When in reality, our eyes are closed, the hall is pitch black, and we can't see a single thing.

The best that we can do is educate ourselves to the dangers, risks, and how we can prep for them.
