30th October 2024 budget predictions
Chunketh replied to TenYearToGetMyMoneyBack's topic in House prices and the economy
but the x3 lock cant continue if we are to avoid it, from https://ifs.org.uk/sites/default/files/2024-07/IFS ReportPensions- five key decisions for the next government.pdf from said publication: 2. A long-term plan is needed for the level of the state pension. The triple lock, which both Conservative and Labour parties have suggested they will maintain, increases the level and cost of the state pension in an uncertain, and ultimately unsustainable, way. Current forecasts suggest maintaining the triple lock will cost around £1.5 billion per year by 2029–30 relative to earnings indexation, although the triple lock could cost less, or (as has been the case in recent years) far more than forecast. A better way forward is possible, where the government decides on the appropriate level of the state pension and then increases it to keep up with average earnings growth in the long run, but also commits to increase it by at least at the rate of inflation every year. -

Kinda what Damien outlines in that video. The x3 lock has to go if we are to avoid means testing. The end suggestion actually looks quite palatable and fair. -
So 14 years before GPS existed. The Russian R7 ICBM launched 21/8/1957 and used internal guidance. GPS is only really required for extreme accuracy and relying on an external navigation system, which can be disrupted, turned off or even hacked would be monumentally stupid. Here is an article on Trident 2 From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UGM-133_Trident_II Additional specifications Range (exact is classified): Full load: ~7,600 kilometres (4,700 mi)[51] Reduced load: ~12,000 kilometres (7,500 mi)[51] Guidance system: The MK 6 Astro-inertial guidance navigation system. Inertial guidance is most favored for the initial guidance and reentry vehicles of strategic missiles, because it has no external signal and cannot be jammed.[52] CEP: Requirement: <90 metres (300 ft).[53] (Information from flight tests is classified.) Here is an article on Trident 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trident_(missile) That also used internal guidance. I'll rest my case there.

Proud of what exactly? Voting in a ******wit?

Oh actually it’s flipped again. Bit weird considering the polls show she has a lead.

I don’t think Trump will win. Neither do the bookies.

What other evidence do you have to support that assertion? It’s probably a random dude walking in front of him. has he been ID’d?

Yep, its there for sure. Its not needed to launch, nor reach a target. Will it be more precise using GPS...you betcha. Is that a concern with a nuclear weapon under most target scenarios...NOPE! It's only really useful when you want to kill a little man hiding in a bunker...given that everyone dies anyway, thats a bit of a waste of time and effort. Far better to do the humane thing and target the population centres so that most Russians die within a couple of seconds. Still nothing on the use of said weapons though. I know it must be hard to accept that nobody wins when your glorious leader is sabre rattling than he can kill everyone with total impunity.
