Needs some investigation
But it's a future me problem
Hmm instance ran out of disk space and died.

In the last year, 50k staff left social care - leaving 18% of care beds empty in August. Since 2010, numbers of district nurses have halved. @homecareassn@twitter.com says more than half of companies providing care to people are saying no to new clients. A quarter are reducing care

Are you enjoying the comfort of your Tesla electric vehicle?
Has your car automatically locked and is driving itself to San Francisco?
Congrats! You have been chosen to work at Twitter until they can bring their staff back.

As the World Cup opens in Qatar, our thoughts are with the migrant workers who suffered to make it possible. We still recall how Qatar was the only government that was willing to host the next World Trade Organization summit after demonstrators shut it down in Seattle in 1999.
But rather than treating Qatar as exceptional, we should scrutinize the World Cup itself. Here's why our Brazilian comrades resisted the World Cup and its impact on their communities back in 2014:

The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 351-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 21-to-1. Trickle down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives.

4. I've warned elsewhere that we shouldn't rely on Starlink as a solution to the challenges of rural broadband, because it's run by an unpredictable megalomaniac. Quebec's rural broadband project to cover the whole province relies on Starlink -- the prospect of Musk just shutting it down, or it failing because of his failures, doesn't seem as hypothetical or remote today as it did even a few months ago.

"We want Scandinavian quality," asked Mr Hunt in his Budget speech
Sweden, Norway and Denmark have up to twice as many doctors per patient as the UK, thousands more hospital beds and better survival rates.
Floods in GB - roads being blocked - but funnily enough no-ones hauling the fossil fuel directors over the coals like they did with Just Stop Oil.
Weird, huh?

A tweet from from the Conservative party, shared by many Government ministers, claims the UK has signed new trade deals with more than 70 countries, worth over £800 billion. It is, of course, complete boll****

THE QUESTION every journalist should be asking right now is why the hell should ordinary workers have to pay to fill a massive £30bn black hole blown in the country’s finances by the Conservative Governments gross incompetence, negligence & ineptitude!!
