If this is happening at the Centre for Disease Control and military troops are going to foodbanks, imagine the condition US government agencies are in that are tasked with managing financial market risks

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Being a member of the EU was always an advantage for the UK in exports to the rest of the world outside the EU.

David Henig @davidheniguk.bsky.social · 1d

Between 2019 and 2024 in real terms EU exports grew by 11%.

UK exports also grew. By 0.89%.

That's the total. Goods exports were lower in real terms in 2024 than in 2014.

I have never known a government as unimaginitive, and with such low self esteem as Starmer’s Labour.

Always treading on eggshells, fretting about enemies who now have full time occupancy of their heads.

It is ridiculous.

When you are trying to sit on information, but inadverently make the thing you’re trying to sit on go viral.

Apparently Streisand was trying to limit press coverage of something to do with her house??

Whatever happened to nuanced debate?

I know Bluesky is miles better than the other place. And there are great, reasonable people on here. But, by and large, you are either a good person (your position aligns with mine) or spawn of the devil (your position differs to mine)

From:

poor pay, cheap staffing almost everyone can afford to go out

Well paid, smaller hospitality sector for the well off consumer.
