Oh, FFS... this a-hole makes his money "selling" perpetual motion "technology" that doesn't work. :-BROKE In short, a snake-oil salesman. Shocking to me that his actual net worth isn't enough to convince even a girl on the dole (Really? 20-30k a year? She sure as hell isn't living like a queen on that with 2 kids to raise) that he's worth more to her than THAT little bit of breadcrumbs.
Even MORE shocking to me that his "accounting" (that is, the income he can show that won't put him in jail) isn't good enough to convince the government that he can support his new Russian Mail-Order Bride wife from India in any way that doesn't directly lead to HER being pregnant in 10 months, with a kid or two already by his worthless loins and winding up on the dole herself. *Cue toilet flushing sounds*
I'm sorry dude... This guy's a waste of skin, and that whole video is just another fucking scam. :bullshit:

Putting all of his so called inventions aside, the rest of it is more then likely factual. The 30k a year is don't forget free of taxes and all the normal deductions that people in employment have to put with. I was in full time employment, fully qualified electrical engineer (not to be confused with a contractor), had a company car, a wife and 3 children to support and after tax, NHS and pension deductions my take home pay was well below what this lady was getting for herself and 2 children so on paper she had more disposable income then I did. She was living like a queen by comparison to me.
On that basis the vast majority of his video might well be true apart the free energy bit :palm:

Gary Larson has a knack for making you reset the calibration on your personal perspective in interesting ways... He's a lifelong favorite. You can find his work (and that of oodles of your favorite satirists and social commentators) on GoComics... and if you go there, they actually make a little money (either by ads or you subscribing). These are the people who speak Truth to Power; help them make a living doing it.

Yes, you may touch it.

I guess my point is that he's a REALLY bad example to use. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could sling a piano.
I'm NOT saying that government bureaucracy isn't bat-chit crazy and verging on perverse in it's needlessly punitive approach to the public in general. While we over here may not have invented the big "B" ( You guys can probably take that title; any nation where they refer to "queuing" as a daily activity has a righteous claim), we sure as hell are trying to perfect it. Any streamlining that's been done has been solely such that as few bureaucrats as possible can torment as many people as possible in as little of his/her own time as possible per tormentee.
In case you didn't notice, y'all didn't boot the Tories out, you just drove them all over here. And now we're exporting them BACK to you. :-DD
And before you say it, THEY are the ones who founded the infernal bureaucracy we loathe on both sides of the pond; no matter how much you may want to blame the "Liberals" who use it to their advantage whenever possible.

I could go with you, but I'd really rather stay home and drill screws through my feet.

Totally agree.
I’m not going to do a damn thing to support any politicians until we get a Star Trek council instead. Oops that was the EU. :palm:
Talking of which, a German company got hold of my CV a couple of weeks back and it got me thinking. Also there appears to be a lot more cool stuff appearing in German eBay. And cheaper box73.de delivery :D

As opposed us and our Star Wars Senate...
...complete with this jackhole. :palm:

May the 4th be with you.
