If they dump their currency and use USD, then as long as there arnough dollars around it solves inflation right? (Their economy is a blip to the Goliath that is USD)
But if that's the case, then their currency is useless as everyone knows if will have zero value at all in a few months/years.
It does mean they can't print money to get out of trouble though.... Not that that was going well for them before.
This is why I thought some of their recent actions that hurt the lowest played artists was strange, you want to encourage artists to NOT use the big publishers to help break their triopoly.
I think the most recent changes are fine in practice, but the optics are not great which probably matters a lot.
So it doesn't apply to residents of Paris? Is that just saying that resident parking (in your street etc) is not effected or that if you live in Paris you can park anywhere without it applying?
If it's the former, then fine, but if it's the latter that feels a bit toothless (but probably required for it to pass the referendum).
How complex is their parking system to be able to do this though? I assume it's a model lookup through the he number plate?
I think a lot of money has been spent looking at the area to confirm there isn't anything in its way - one of the other comments has a link about how everything was paused for 4 months when they did find something nearby.
If they can dig a tube tunnel through some of the places in london that they did for crossrail, this isn't going to be a problem.
There is already an A-road there, one that is normally practically stationary due to how the road narrows there. by sticking it in a tunnel it saves the immediate area from the pollution. Hopefully as we electrify more vehicles that will get even better too.
For reference - this is how close the road currently is - getting it underground will make the immediate area much nicer.
If they can remove the overground road there is that not an improvement? It's not like this area is pristine, there are towns there, a military base etc. this will improve the area immediately around Stonehenge.
If they are spending money on archeology in the area and discovering new things, that's great. It means the entrance/exit are less likely to damage anything.
On the environment - that's less of an issue if we can electrify vehicles properly, it's a busy road because people and freight (lots of warheouses in Aimesbury) use it. We have unfortunately proved that we can't build railways either so there isn't much choice.
It's on a big hill, the archeology isn't going to be more than 10m deep right? The only issue will therefore be at the entrance and exit?
I assume that they put the portals in 'empty' places and will have archeologists at the site to confirm they are not digging things up. (And have/are studying the area more)
On one hand, ugh, on the other, I can see how it would be useful, if only the police had the resources to do something with the information
