Tenant is a good film, that gets better with every rematch, and WB's shoving it out on streaming in August 20 fucking 20 was a crime.

I remember joking with a friend about Interstellar before release, saying that I was so emotionally commited to Nolan that I'd pretend it was great even if it was bad.
Its been 4 films since then, and they have each been bangers. The man knows how to do it.

Wouldn't that just be another great way to fuck over young professionals? Just how flat can the graduate premium get?

Basically all the problems with "Let's just keep increasing the minimum wage!" As the solution to all social problems.

That would definitely be a better solution.
When my future wife was on a graduate visa in 2017 she applied for, and was rejected for, a job paying 20k.
After leaving, marrying me, paying the home office a lot of money, in 2023 she broke
£100k
Now, I loved getting married, but thats a shit system!

Those 390k dependents are also going to help offset the 1.2m people who died during the period, and god knows how many that left productive work.
But why am I trying to repeat an argument @willcooling.bsky.social made so well in this post...

The line of thinking that started with "promising a referendum on the EU will shoot UKIPs fox!" And ends with 20 years of stagnant GDP per Capita growth is very depressing and very likely.

Also the temporary driver of lower net migration is expected to reverse (budget forecasted 350k net in 29), but in the posts celebrating hitting 200 minsters implied they wanted continued lower net migration, so continued lower growth.
Which I think is a really bad idea!

I think we really shouldn't be so relaxed about doing economicly stupid stuff to try to placate Farage's fans. We've already spent 15 years on this stuff.
If this is a growth government, as it says, it should be a growth government.

But "a worsening economy" is how you get to a crisis though? Polish GDP per capita will be above the UK this decade, how confident can we be that we can continue to attract people?

I think City's travel mechanism was a amazing addition though, that combined with the combat and stealth from 1 was amazing.
As for Knight, no, I dont want to drive the fucking batmobile again, if I wanted to play Grand Tirismo with shitty handling I'd play Grand Tirismo.
