There doesn’t have to be any continuity at all in James Bond. At best it is about as canonical as The Simpsons, where the occasional thing matters in other movies but for the most part it’s a fresh reset.

None of that is true
Medicine is more expensive because you get more and newer medicine, housing is expensive because we don't build houses, and childcare is more expensive because the childcarers are being paid more.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

The Miracle Mile Shopping Center is a mall outside of Pittsburgh. The Magnificent Mile is what President Senile Grandpa is screaming about. The vacancy rate is going down since COVID, and calling in the troops to address retail vacancy rates is mind-numbingly stupid.

Yes, "pregnant people" is inclusive language that describes pregnant cis women AS WELL AS trans men and nonbinary people, a lot of whom can get pregnant. But it also describes, like, 12-year-old girls who get pregnant. Do centrist pig-dogs think THEY are "women" too? Coz...bit of a red flag, that.

In Italy labor unions helped start a network of left-leaning news/music radio stations that have become some of the staples of public information in much of the country. They now run on a donation / ads model, but initial investment was from labor. I think about this often.
The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact
