Thatcher said "The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."

The trouble with capitalism is that if you run out of other people's money, you can do it again with a new limited company

Well its a good thing MAGA didn't turn soy into a slur, right?

The difference in culture war output between Corn & Soy crops is just wild to see. Absolutely ridiculous.

I would say you reap what you sow, but they may not even bother with the expense of harvesting the crop!

I forgot about that declassifying documents phase.

Someone should get it rolling again and slip the Epstein files into the stack.

This such an open goal..

Labour could easily deal with this nonsense and collect the good will.

Some defense contractors made a mint off of this nonsense doubt, building elaborate bunker busters.

Tom @photaculous.bsky.social · 1d

Really hope they crack that.
It'll push Russian oil/gas into freefall and give Ukraine a platform for future defense and exports.

Yes, 70% aren't concerned, so this is once again some nonsense manoeuvre from industry lobbyists.

Culture war crap..

A 2020 survey by the European Consumer Organisation BEUC found that most consumers, around 70%, are not concerned about the naming of veggie "burgers" or "sausages" if the products are clearly identifiable as vegetarian or vegan.

Yeah, I don't think we need to eat that much red meat to achieve savoury goals.

I reckon if I could keep Chorizo I wouldn't be bothered about losing the rest, and my current bore is we should bring back a focus on the Mediterranean diet.

When I asked him about how Warsaw had utterly transformed in less than the 20 years between my visits, he said ‘we kicked out the oligarchs, and then there was money to rebuild’

I've ended up on Richmond road a few times while following a SatNav and it's totally unsuitable for two way traffic.

It's easily avoidable too, though obviously not if you are following a talking box.
