Good afternoon and welcome to the podcast, Lotus Eases, Episode 1,294.

I'm your host Harry, joined today by Stelios and Bo.

Today we're going to be talking to you about the death spiral that we are trapped in.

I'm going to be asking and trying to answer the question of who Maga is for after the disastrous bit of PR that they've

done over the past few days. And finally, we're going to ask what is happening with Sarkozy,

which is a question I don't know the answer to, so I'm very interested. With that,

I don't think there's anything else that we need to announce, so let's get on with it.

Right. So the UK economy is not in the best of shapes.

It's in one of the worst shapes it has been lately.

And the labour doesn't convince people that they can actually handle the situation.

Now, I'm generally speaking very much against what I consider to be excessive welfareism.

I think that it's the perfect recipe to create a culture of dependency and then everyone is treating the state,

not as the government of the people, but basically as a mechanism to extort

resources for resource extraction from one group and give it to another. And essentially it leads

society to economic and then moral corruption. Or you could say the, in the reverse order.

Or if you're a commie, it's the redistribution of wealth, which is a brilliant thing always.

Yeah, there's always this question of are they doing it deliberately or are they stupid?

Or are they both in case, are they doing a pol pot?

Are they deliberately stupid?

Right, so just because we are going to talk about welfareism and the culture of dependency that labor

is presiding over, but which has been created before labor, they're definitely not the only ones

who are guilty of that.
