Explain to me how refusing a vaccination -- which increases risk of harm to others -- due to "sincerely held beliefs" is just fine, but someone else's medical decisions about themselves require passing laws against it.

Oh, right. Bigotry.

LB: Billionaire thinks he's too good for safety testing, says it gets in the way of rapid innovation, and within 5 years innovates himself into a watery grave because his innovative sub design wasn't safe. A+ 10/10 no notes

I think people here are as angry as the people in France, we just haven't yet found a way to articulate it. It will come, though.

The next step in the #Tory engineered #NHScrisis:

Some trusts are offering 'golden hellos' to #nurses to encourage them to apply & stay where there are staff shortages.

All this will do is move the staffing crisis more firmly into the most cash-strapped Trusts & reinforce the unevenness of #healthcare.

For the #Tories this looks like a 'market' working & they'll see it as part of the 'solution' not adding to the crisis!

Trusts fighting for staff is not the answer to any Q.

Meanwhile, in Nuremberg, 24 Farben executives were tried for their war crimes, and they cited their obligations to their shareholders in their defense. All but five were acquitted on this basis. link.medium.com/kQza9svqMAb

In response Reddit kicking a bunch of moderators and mass-undeleting content, the Reddit userbase has responded by... mass uploading multi-gigabyte videos of old-style television static.

The reason the capitalists are panicing and trying to sell the hot potato is interest rates went up. No longer able to borrow endlessly at zero interest to fund operations, and the income needed to break even (let alone be profitable) includes the now much larger interest payments.

Result: MUST CASH OUT NOW!!!

I'd love to see the competitors at major games who stand for no nation, parade behind this.

Reminded of this by a tweet from James Bridle.

>25,000+ deaths in the Mediterranean since 2014. Hundreds more every month. We are all complicit. Fuck borders and those who uphold them; shame on all of us for what continues.

Business leaders: We can't find enough workers!

Workers: You could pay more.

Business: Nope.

Workers: Better benefits?

Business: No.

Workers: More flexible hours?

Business: No way.

Workers: Treat your current employees better to build your employer brand?

Business: Never.

Workers: Well, what's left?!

Business: Child labor!

Lord Heseltine - "All of this is about lying in senior public offices... & you can't escape from the consequences of that on brexit... we left the EU on the basis of lies, of which Boris Johnson was the principal architect... "

Dear Dipshits who are going “We’re gonna boycott Garth Brooks”:

You can’t unbuy the box set you purchased like 10 years ago.

No, Mr Johnson, it’s not about if there were parties, that’s been proven beyond all reasonable doubt, vis a vis countless fines issued to many of those who attended said parties. It’s about YOU lying, AGAIN! It couldn’t be more clear really, but yet again you seek to muddy the waters. You really are a nasty piece of work aren’t you? They should ban you from ever seeking political office again! Bastard!

The UK's #tory engineered #healthcrisis in one simple statistic:

in 1960 the Uk ranked 7th for #lifeexpectancy among OECD nations.... 60 years later in 2020 it had dropped to 23rd!

And if you want to have a look at the OECD data, what you can see is that the relative decline has been largely since 2010.... I wonder why?

The NHS (and our #health) is not safe in #tory hands

what the hell someone had 'TESLA STOCK OWNER" in their bio like that's a personality

That feeling when there are three places where the code should be identical but in the 3rd one it isn't

So you have to do all sorts of improvising and b.s.

Welp, lost a day
