"just accept that you are poorer"

That's normally how a journey to the truth begins. You sit down, talk and that's the first thing you hear from the other side of the table.
A load of questions and answers later, there's less waffle.
There is nothing, absolutely nothing, stopping the state at any level from moving justice infrastructure into DAOs apart from fear.

Maybe now he'll finally put his money where his mouth was and stick to putting stuff on some uncensorable blockchain where the rest of us can safely ignore it.

Britons ‘need to accept’ they’re poorer, says Bank of England economist
Chief economist Huw Pill says workers and firms should stop trying to pass on rising costs by hiking prices or demanding better wagesamp.theguardian.com
I can't believe given the increase in homelessness and food banks that yet another out of touch expert, who no doubt, is not suffering at all could say something so insensitive. It's almost like he's trolling the poor
Bring on the next election and I will vote labour. I detest them but if it helps get the Tories out I'm going to vote for the first time in my life and help get them out.
Whatever next?

The comments were taken out of context by the media. He was talking about both companies and workers raising prices/demanding pay rises and how that creates a wage/price spiral.
But he has rightly been pilloried because it's a tone deaf thing to say, sounds awful out of context and he should know better. You would think that these guys would get better media training.

This is outdated thatcherite bollocks. The price spiral is manifestly not being driven by rising wages because wages aren't keeping up with it. There are three main causes of it; the fact we're still at the mercy of a moribund fossil fuel economy, brexit, and opportunistic greed on the part of businesses. None of those can be laid at the door of workers, they're all created by degenerate capital.

Yes, I more or less agree. But bear in mind the guy is an economist so he's just quoting economic theory. He didn't intend to throw workers under the bus, as will be clear for anyone who listens to the full thing.

I'm sure he already reads The Financial Times, The Times and The Telegraph. What more can you ask?

His job is to legitimise a system that throws workers under the bus as a matter of policy. The 'economic theory' he's quoting is not objective fact, in fact it has been completely discredited by 40 years of rising inequality and economic stagnation. He's a man up to his armpits in seawater telling us the tide's not coming in.
And he gets the pay of half a dozen nurses for this shit.

What's really insulting about that quote is who it is aimed at. He's not speaking to the well-off (who may have less disposable money but are by no means 'poorer') and he's not speaking to big business (that is only answerable to shareholders and whose shareholders don't do 'poorer').

The bank of England is a public sector employer. He's not running a business or anything. Honestly he should know better, but he works for you and me as a civil servant.

Not driving, that's what companies and workers do. He's riding for free and handing out completely unhelpful advice to the driver(s)
