I think I like this new place…
New name, same picture, same ranty guy with too many opinions.
About a month ago I read from a lawyer on here that Comey is pressing for quick trial because he knows that they will butcher it on procedural things if not on the case itself. It’s funny how real lawyers knew what was coming but the cosplaying MAGArites walked right in it with open eyes.

Thats why they don’t abolish FPTP. They will play the „don’t waste your vote“ card. And I’m afraid imparted agree. However, I also think it will backfire and play into Reform/Conservative hands.

Vorrunde überstehen ist inzwischen ja schon ein Erlebnis. Wobei ja mal wieder die bestplatzierten Dritten weiterkommen und dann die „Knockouts“ mit 32 Teams starten

It’s not rocket science: quick processing is key to everything.
Then have a returns policy with France and let people apply from France (this should stop the boats)
If granted asylum, let them work.
If denied, send them back, if they can’t go back, grant temporary refuge.

I don’t understand what is wrong there at the top (I blame McSweeney though) I guess a lot of it comes down to ego. Am I blindsided or did Women like Ardern, Marin and (to an extend) Merkel do the right thing without looking at „reelectability“?

Bis letztes Jahr konnte der Navigator sehr wohl Zeitreisen. Mein Handy ist auf Londonzeit (also 1 Stunde vor Deutschland) der Navigator hat als „heute“ immer das Datum von genau einem Jahr im vorraus genommen und dann behauptet es gäbe noch keinen Fahrplan. Hat mich fast verrückt gemacht

What are the odds that Rachel Reeves will announce a slashing of cash ISA limits to encourage people to invest in stocks and shares on the day the stock market sees its biggest fall since covid or even the dot com bubble?
I’d say pretty high

Are the „buy the dip“ tech bros out there yet?

Have I switched realities over night?

But seriously though: why do people like her always need a wake up call like that to see they were wrong?

And how many of these are femicides where the victim knew the perpetrator?

So the “anti-war-president” is about to start a war to cover up the fact that he is mentioned in the Epstein files and all his MAGA supporters will once again do the mental “flex” of ignoring that they were played

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great story, and I’m glad she gets help, but $500k to one person, when there are hundreds of these cases out there and others work all their life and barely make that money. This feels performative, I hope she gives back and helps others

No better time than pre-Christmas for that. Good luck

Side effect (good or bad) the actual tax paid by someone earning 130k-155k would actually be lower than it is today - albeit with a higher percentage headline number. But above that it goes up.

If you were to do away with the tapering at 100k and introduce a 50% tax bracket at 90k the overall impact on budget is minimal, but you would do away with the current spike at 100k that supposedly stops people from taking pay rises or invest in tax avoidance, so you unlock them to earn more.

Can anyone grant Asylum* for Truss, Farage and Trump?

*I mean the mental one

I’m over 40, my optician told me today that I need reading glasses, can I be one of the old ones please?

So has new Shepard, but with New Glenn they only built two vehicles and have nailed it.
But yes, this is a dig at SpaceX who threw sound engineering principles out of the window in favour of spectacle (Eg no deluge) whereas BO also built a new thing but in a “classic” way
