Being a sad, wonkish, serious person, not many things make me laugh out loud, so I thought I'd share this, which did.

Following the link to iCan, I came across this further link, curiously flagged as more about the topic. (No connection the I can see, but that's the Beeb for you.)

Skimming through you think, "yeah, yeah, the usual stuff"--until you get to this inspired lunacy:

Which brings us back to the Simultaneous Policy campaign. What if governments across the world brought in a package of policies simultaneously, leaving capital nowhere to drain away to? The threat would be broken. Governments could bring in the policies that are necessary, not just those which are tolerated.

The inevitable question is: what policies? I don’t know, because the Simultaneous Policy campaign is a democratic movement and it is as yet too small a movement to settle on policies.

Heh, they forget the two places capital can always drain to: down the drain and gone, or never made to start with. Or as we techies would put it, /dev/null and /dev/zero.
