Have to say I find the proposals to take away the route to permanent settlement of refugees both shocking and repulsive. It's code for 'whatever you do and contribute you can never become one of us so we won't allow you to try.' Racism, pure and simple.

you end up as Schrodinger's refugee, as the Danes call it. On one hand as a migrant you have to integrate, learn the language, raise your kids as British, etc. On the other from one day to the next you may be sent "home" to a country your kids have never known.

And I must say, as an autistic person who has experienced this MANY times throughout my life... being told you "should have known" something you literally didn't know is one of the most exasperating and defeating things to hear.

Another underappreciated way to lower electricity bills? Stop taxing electricity, which in many places is subject to both state and local taxes at rates of 10% or higher. To keep tax revenues intact, state and local governments could shift these taxes onto natural gas, encouraging electrification.
Equalizing electricity prices between residential, commercial, and industrial customers would save households - aka voters - 21% on their electricity bills. Commercial prices would go up 1%. Industrial prices would go up 59% because residential and commercial customers deeply subsidize them today.
7. Residential customers - aka you and me, aka voters - pay 28% more (16.5 c/kWh, 2024 average) than commercial customers (12.9 c/kWh) and 201% more than industrial (8.2 c/kWh). This trend is accelerating: Residential prices rose 27% from 2019-2023, vs. 21% for commercial and 19% for industrial.

“This is a concerning development given the current state of the world, where authoritarian populism is on the rise…If it becomes easy to override Charter rights at the first instance, then the Charter will soon no longer be worth the paper that it’s written on.”
Parties or governments are willing to invoke the Notwithstanding Clause to override rights and to keep the courts from even weighing in on whether their laws would be constitutional or not.They’re not even trying anymore, writes @journodale.bsky.social.

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Those are just the ones we know of and who came forward. One cannot help but wonder how many more did not survive.

In your experience, would innocent people go to these lengths to keep something secret? I pretty much know the answer but I would like to ask a professional
