Just a little bloody bar I set up for a brunch party. I use the recipe from the Employee’s Only book, Speakeasy, and it usually goes over well. I adapted it to 32 oz of tomato juice (which is a common size where I shop), so lots of the quantities are a little weird. But it’s a very forgiving recipe, so I don’t stress that!...
I don’t see why men should subsidise the health insurance of women or why women should subsidise the car insurance of men. I don’t see why the young should subsidise the health insurance of the old.
This is what happens when you don’t go outside. At all.
People who don’t see the telegraph, need to know to how poisonous it is, and how detached they aren’t their readership are from reality.
On the other hand, to see how triggered we are by it, suggests we are still vulnerable.
every single word, of every single sentence, on every single page is to advance an agenda. We might not immediately know which, or whose, but it is committed to enabling hard right politics
This country is damaged, but not beyond repair. All kinds of people, from all over the world still want to come here. Remember that, and try not be poisoned by constantly consuming messages from the ruling class, that help them stay in power .
I suspect they were ‘advised’ by the Banks and perhaps the government, to put the brakes on.
Every Corporation would be delighted to dump expensive city real estate, and “externalise facilities costs” to the workforce. ( which is what working from home is, from a balance sheet point of view). It’s what they teach at business school.
However, it would only take a handful of big players to to do this in succession to collapse the real estate market in most cities.
The knock on effect would likely include some large defaults by landlords and developers and who knows where that ends.
A secondary effect is house prices. certainly in London, where people pay a 2-5x premium to live within an hour of they high paying job.
If people no longer need to live near the office, why would they spend so much on crappy housing ? It would likely trigger an exodus away from the capital, collapsing the housing market.
In the UK if the housing market collapses, the economy follows it down the tube in massive way.
Hence the half hearted ‘push’ to get people back in the office .
Like, I’m on a plane. I don’t want to watch Toy Story when I can do that at home, I want to see what the pilots see. And that way every seat has technically a window to look out of.

Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window.
