The UK's made one. So have most industrialized countries. The US is in many ways a rogue state thanks to the previous White House administration stonewalling against progress.

The UK made one because it probably has to. The USA makes electrical power from water power or coal fired generators. We mine our own coal. So why should you give a crap?

Oh I don't, dear boy, I don't in the slightest. The sooner you get where you're going the better as far as I'm concerned.

That's fine. Because, if the UK can't lead, then follow or get the hell outa the way.

It's odd that you should think you stand any chance at all after what's happened. The world's moved on and honestly, you're not even in the running any longer. We can all finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Tell him to at least clean the mud off his boots when he comes in here then.

A bath wouldn't go amiss either.

The world's moved on? Then why is most of the world suffering the same hardships the USA is? Why don't the world just "move on"?

I'll clean the mud off my boots and take a bath. You get your teeth fixed.

The simple answer is that it's not suffering the same hardships the USA is. Most of it's watched conspicuous consumption with distaste and embarrassment, most of it has no desire to repeat the same mistake, most of it is more concerned with living the good life. Living the good life has nothing to do with consumption though it's hard explaining that to people who frenetically depend on spending to define their satisfaction.

Your laughs sound increasingly hollow from where I'm sat.

I suppose so, sitting on your head as you are. I'm happy to hear the rest of the world is not suffering inflation, unemployment and shortages.
