        That’s where we are heading in the US, privatized fire, they will be bringing back the firesale. Hopefully the private equity guys that get involved with it meet Crassus’ fate, the Roman prick that popularized the practice around the 1st century. (He financed an expidition to persia, lost, got captured, they are said to have poured molten gold down his throat, because they knew how much he liked gold.)

        Old timey values.

      No. But I am hep to the old “sky is falling” schtick. This will save time and money on labour when it comes to price changes. Everything else is conjecture, and believable, due to all the other dystopic capitalistic shit that goes on. I will wait a bit longer before grabbing my torch and pitchfork and jumping on the bandwagon.
