I work indirectly for a fund. Spot on. It's utterly fucked now and it will go up. I actually pulled my cash out Q3 last year and blew it on the remains of my mortgage so I am utterly pissing myself with joy at the moment :-DD.

I don't actually know the reasons, just that the 747 is typically flown a bit faster.

the rated cruise speeds is 933km/h vs. 903km/h so while it is faster it's not going to make much of a difference even
on a 12 hour flight

:clap: Staying one step ahead or behind (? ) powder indulging economic optimists
and tossing one's potential swindle candidate funds towards a payed off solid roof over your head till this panic fest blows over in.. 2022? :-//
rates high on the list of best options during this custom engineered public 'DIY chaos 'n quarantine'
fwiw I reckon 'Chaos n Quarantine' would be an awesome name for an R n B band 8)
you heard it here first folks :D
BOT: the real fun is coming soon when some news media showcased/featured 'expert' clown/s will predict, forecast, trend, or bring up similar circumstances in past swindles 'downturns'
and the 'better off' middle classes will panic and do a RUN on the banks, supers, air shares, dump stock and assets etc as they do when their cigars fizzle out,
and shaft us all into yet another Depression oblivion for years

It was obvious our disaster capitalists were up to something based on some stock tanking and our eminent exit from the EU so I figured being the rat I am I’d jump off the sinking ship ASAP. Didn’t bet on the rest. That was just luck, from my perspective anyway.
The issue is going to be when the death count flat lines. I’m not sure there is enough data yet to determine causality between that and either (a) the thing has burned out and (b) lockdown actually worked.
That’s a catch-22 that our political elite has managed to talk itself into a corner on with lies and promises.
The shit show hasn’t actually begun yet. Watch the slow unwinding and marketing. Will see what we have lost an about 5 years I reckon. Keeping on topic I suggest a lot of us will never return to an office and a lot of us will never return to work. So that’s a whole new problem to deal with which isn’t going to fit into neoliberal ideology.
The take home for me from all this is stay healthy and assume that there is no safety net.

You won't know until mass testing for immune globuline reveals the true spread and whether it was enough to build any kind of herd immunity. But when I look at the current mortality figures especially for England, boy, that's not looking good. Something has started eating into the 15-64 year age bracket worse than any influenza in the past years. I hope it's the lockdown working when the curve flattens.
