I’m not sure if it’s worth continuing to explain. I don’t think he will get it

Honestly, call me Joe McArthur but you sound like you would prefer to live in China, Russia or Nth Korea where everybody works for the benefit of the State.

Yeah but those countries all have great hospitals and schools thanks to their business tax.

Probably somehwere between the two extremes of capitalism and socialism, to be honest.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You mean like the UK with its NHS?

 

[the phantom menace]

Before the Tories killed it off with a million cuts, perhaps.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They obviously needed that tax money to pay more to dole bludgers.

Or prop up their network of friends in failing business ventures, more likely.

[Poupou Escobar]

Failing businesses employ more people and provide more services than no businesses.

 

[the phantom menace]

Hmmm, profound...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The point is that failing businesses is part of what keeps the system working. The opportunity to win big in business is what allows people to risk going broke. Take away that potential upside and the risk is no longer worth it. It means fewer jobs and less stuff for humans. All so some pissy losers don’t have to feel envious.

@Twizzle, there is some sort of coding issue with the App



Every time for at least a month I have tried to use Reply in App, it doesn't let me post properly. It just wants to me just reply within the quoted message.



Does anyone else have this issue? I'm on Android.

nothing from our end that I am aware of

As you have said, any financial benefit that a TPA provider realises, is normally secondary to their purpose.
Aside from the vanity argument, which is definitely one of the key reasons for TPA's, there is sometimes a benefit to a business simply through brand association. For example Billy Slater had a TPA with Queensland Banana's and there were billboard plastered throughout Melbourne when he played for them. Did it help them sell more bananas? Probably not, but there would have been an instant association that helped them in their market.

But it got him into the Qld SOO team!

 

[Glenneel]

Soren's question was actually legit so not sure why you decided to take the piss.
@Soren, yes mate. I reckon that would actually not be deemed an illegal TPA. As long as the pillow supplier had no direct association with the club.

Could TPA Makapillow.
