The fact that Britain has to come thronging at india’s doorstep to request for trade-tech deals to revive British economy is rather ironic and iconic😂😂

East India Company: “Someone say reset?”

[LanikMartin]

There must be a specific amount that companies must transfer from their company account to their personal account.
for example: If he builds a wind or solar power plant, he can transfer 4 times the amount to his personal account.
It would be cheaper electricity for everyone.
After increasing the number of employees and wages, the company could also transfer the amount to its own account.

[lyudmilakutsenko]

I would call this not systemic meetings brownian motion instead of reset. You could go to Russia instead to solve real problems.
