Accidental Gods - The Thrutopian Podcast · Water, Water Everywhere and none of it fit to drink! With Claire Kirby of Up Sewage Creek - ahead of World Water Day · 11 Feb 2026 podcast

The answer would be the sum total of random numbers.

It would not give you the current market value of your car, which is determined by market-specific factors and technological change.

And a car bought in 1989 is worth precisely nothing now, which is the same with the water companies.

Yes, because people don't understand the way that money works anymore.

And 89% of people want the water companies to be renationalised.

And the other 11%, I'm guessing, just haven't thought about it that hard.

Yeah.

Because I don't see how you could say not.

But we also need to look at where would that £100 billion go?

Because if it's going to people who pay tax, it's coming back to the government anyway.

I think this is one of the things that I really want to establish across the world, is this idea that when a government spends money, it vanishes, only applies if it is going to people who are then taking it out of the country.

So if it's going to huge companies, half of our water companies seem to be owned by an Australian company that basically asset strips them and then sells them back to people who don't really want them.

If they're doing that...

and all the money flows into private accounts in the Cayman Islands, then yes, that money has gone.

If you're paying people who pay tax, then the only thing that matters is the velocity of the money, which is how many hands does it go through before it is paid back to the government as tax.

And the higher the velocity, the more people who get to touch that money, the better.

So it doesn't matter what it costs.

It matters where the money is going.

If a government pours 100 billion into the economy, that's fine.

Oh, no, it doesn't.
