Nothing less than a new regime will solve it. Marx said - 'History repeats itself; first as tragedy, then as farce'. We've already had the tragedy of the most recent crash, and plenty more besides through history, so maybe we've already moved beyond even the farcical stage. His point holds good though. Anyone who takes an interest in such things knows that capitalism needs sporadic periods of crisis to adapt itself to prevailing conditions, which are entirely unpredictable and abstract as capitalism itself, which the economists who depend on guesswork at best like to call 'corrections'.
If you think about how wildly incapable a term 'correction' is for the consequences they involve, then take a look at your link which shows plainly these vast sums of money are nothing more than inventions, then it's clear that capitalism will extinguish itself at some point or another due to the limits of not resources or labour which it adjusts to accommodate, but the limits inherent to it as a mode of production. It will be its own downfall, as you can't propagate a myth indefinitely.

Doesn't that just mean you like the seasoning and could leave the tofu behind? Why not just put the seasoning on a good bit of beef or chicken?
I'm a carnivore.
The opposite of your argument is also true, if you like the seasoning why have it on meat?
Oh and the less argumentative answer is basically the same as why people cycle: cost (meat is expensive, in a number of ways), health (overdosing on meat certainly isn't good for you) sustainability and the environment.
If only being a vegetarian was also fun... We'd all be vegetarian.

personally i think we should start by killing CEO's of the top 100 companies in each country
move on to the prime ministers / first ministers of each country and ALL royalty the world overthat'll get their attention
top bosses should receive a max of 20x the lowest salary .. that number is can't say i have looked at too in depth but it seems to be being bandied around by groups of right meaning people

This doesn't actually sound like a bad idea to be honest.

it's stories like this that make me really mad
hence my wish to see CEO's put out of our miseryDirectors of Chesapeake Energy Corp. came under fire from shareholders Thursday in the wake of revelations that the company's chief executive, Aubrey McClendon, had borrowed as much as $1.4 billion from a private-equity firm that has done deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars with the company in the last year.

The epitome of lazy journalism - the other hacks who were saving that kind of shite up for the summer will be fucking furious that someone's shot the bolt and got the jump on them.

There are a dozen articles like this every spring. Journalists get given the assignment 'write something nice and upbeat about cycling' and this is what they usually come up with. You'll get used to it. :)

So he's basically a fancy rural courier?

He delivers around 100 letters a day at 25p a throw. It seems to be a labour of love to make a point. I think it's a great idea.

He should bump it up to 50p. People would still use it.

Fucking hell. And the closest it gets to bringing up the racism that the whole party is formed around is this:
Her defence of French national identity in the country with Europe’s most numerous Muslim minority is credible
What an absolute fucking rag.
I'd vote!
