Tenant demanded broadband.

[McDuck]

Yes, its possible that something is systemically wrong in the management levels of Chorus
Judging by the crooked and badly cut lines in the driveway, I can tell the person using the concrete cutter is inexperienced.
Someone had to hire that guy and asses his skill.
Seeing where they...

[McDuck]

I just put in broadband for a tenant.
I don't have a problem with that.
It was an older property and the internet was a little slow.
I look after good tenants.
But here's the rub..
The quality of the installation looked a little rough to me.
No waterproofing on the...

Hi.
It's a very good question.
No one really can tell the future.
Since it is you who will make or loose money, you must decide.
The outcome of this election is far from known.
There may be some very big surprises.
Winston may even end up running the country at this...

[McDuck]

I hear it not as much fun as the movies make it look.
And the Asian ones are particularly uncivilized.
They don't call it "the horrors of war" for nothing....

[McDuck]

Ok.
So I did a bit more research on this.
Couple of interesting things turned up. And also a couple of emotions appeared.

There is a third bit of software called Bank Feeds.
It's a relatively new invention (6 years or so).
It takes the bank data and formats and places...

[McDuck]

Or is this where interest rates should naturally sit, and was the other free money phase just all an unsustainable ponzi, doomed to run itself into the ground....

[McDuck]

That's the big problem with the free market.
All the schools stopped teaching the practical skills needed to build a country and keep it running.

They instead went for the " Teach a foreign student English" approach.
You honestly have no idea how many useful local...

[McDuck]

Ha! you're a great salesperson.
You sure understand the mentality of the small businessperson.
I'm tempted myself, and I don't even need it.

I had a quick look at how the two bits of software work,
and have a question.

So say the bank sends you a monthly E...

[McDuck]

Some really nice insightful and expert opinions so far.

I can give you one really long term observation.

The low 2% interest rates of your youth were unsustainably low.

There is a possibility that these higher rates will become the norm for the kids of today....

[McDuck]

Ha! Middle class?
umm,
Ok..
What class are the members of the communist party?
What class are people with a social credit score of 1000?...

[McDuck]

I've been thinking about this a bit more.
It's an interesting situation.

The cost and security of going with those big software packages might be an overkill.
Seems to me that the main issue is getting that bank data into the form of a spreadsheet.

I was wondering...

[McDuck]

Interested in this.
The above answer seems good.
Basically automating the bit before your accountant.
I was wondering if simplification might help?
If you create a new bank account and just put the E business stuff in there, a bank might be able to do a printout for you monthly....

[McDuck]

Ha! Possibly.
If you have ever auctioned anything you will see that you get these sorts of price spikes sometimes,
You just get two stubborn individuals.
The very next week you cant get rid of that very same item for free. Auctions are strange like that.
FYI....

[McDuck]

It makes no sense to try and understand an opaque communist agenda with western thinking....

[McDuck]

That's a very interesting take.
If you had any biology or physics schooling you would notice that other animals and even basic particles are " slaves" to the system.

An electron is bound to its nucleus and doomed to an eternity of servitude.
Around and around it goes,...

[McDuck]

Maybe you are missing something?
Maybe you are choosing the outcome that suits your agenda and not being impartial?
Maybe you are close to cashflow fail and your mind is refusing to accept the inevitable?
Maybe inflation is far more dangerous than you think?
Maybe there is a...

[McDuck]

Sorry KJ.
No one thinks you have predicted anything.
Just made vague hints inn almost every direction.
You want to show skills?
You know the deal.
Pick an exact property. Set time, dat,e location etc. Quote value.
Pick an exact date in 12 moths time. Say that same...

[McDuck]

A better Idea would be to declare Kauau island as an independent sate and make it a tax haven like Jersey.
Mike Hosking would be bugged by all the helicopters, but meh, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Send him some earplugs....

[McDuck]

Removed by McDuck due to poor taste....

[McDuck]

Sorry to distract momentarily from the very real and important point of hostile economic takeover...
But your question about rates is really interesting.
Well, it's really a question about human behavior.
My suspicion is that people have shifted from expansion mode and into survival...
