The US has an annual deficit of around $2 trillion. Total US federal debt is about $40 trillion. This is not due to paying hospital translators.

All the stuff about “reopening old wounds” and “trauma of the referendum” from frontbenchers is a lot of projection. The country is unfussed (why would it be?). The PTSD is all the PLP’s.
David Henig@davidheniguk.bsky.social · yesterdayAlmost like there is something so deep rooted in UK politics that it is simply unable to deal with the EU without going into some sort of nervous breakdown. Because none of this should be very difficult.

As @davidheniguk.bsky.social notes, the mechanism to do this is a decade old and so far exactly one profession has agreed mutual recognition (architects). Finally the curse is lifted of rogue Canadian architects skulking round EU countries secretly designing buildings to shoddy Canadian standards.
Lisa O’Carroll@lisaocarroll.bsky.social · yesterdayVon der Leyen hints at professional qualifications recognition for Canada. Even the UK doesn't have that... and has been a very sore point since 2020 Speech just now: "And we're working together on skills and qualifications so that professionals can work more easily on both sides of the Atlantic"

Will Jennings📉🗳️@drjennings.bsky.social · 2d agoWhy is the UK stuck in an economic rut? Why have our real wages not risen in two decades? What are the real alternatives? Most people avoid these questions because many of the answers are uncomfortable.

And then I looked at his feet & they were massive. I made the mistake of studying his anatomy. Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is gonna qualify."
What do you mean, it takes you 60 days to pay an invoice???
Was chatting to a colleague about how the agonising on the margins about headroom is basically quite silly from an econ/finance perspective. There's no material mechanical difference to bond markets between £10bn of headroom versus £15bn. But because of the signalling effect, it becomes important.
There's a pharmaceutical company called Boehringer Ingelheim. Often shortened to BI. This leads to email subjects such as, "BI issues" and "BI problems". Feels pointed...
