Not sure who in the marketing department decided to go with caramel ice cream flavor for a deodorant ... bacon and vinegar chips or Swiss cheese would have been the right choice ...

impressum et impressum vaud dénoncent l’agression à l’encontre de deux journalistes lors des émeutes à Lausanne. L’association professionnelle alerte l’ensemble de la profession : lorsqu’un·e journaliste prend des coups dans l’exercice de son travail, c’est toute la profession qui en souffre !

You can’t always say whisky was better before but this private cask Springbank is sherry at its best.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.

This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

OBSERVED EFFECTS OF UBI

No significant reduction in labor supply (38 studies meta-analysis)

Increased self-employment (301%) and part-time employment (17%)

Slight decrease in alcohol and tobacco use (31 studies meta-analysis)

New mothers extend their maternity leaves

Birth weights improve due to better maternal nutrition

Graduation rates and educational outcomes improve

Hospitalization rates decline (8.5%)

Crime goes down (15%–42%) especially illegal hunting (95%)

Domestic violence decreases (30%–51%)

Trust increases (13% in politicians | 6% in other people)

Home ownership rates increase (17%–26%)

Food security increases as does consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables

Improved cognitive functioning (43%) and personality traits (31%)

Savings go up, debts go down
