Trump’s industrial powerhouse.
Kinda ironic for an administration that is quite literally anti-science.

Is a U.S. without data centers a country without GDP growth?

“Children and teenagers are twice as likely to develop long Covid after a second coronavirus infection as after an initial infection, a large new study has found.”

Great we’ve just confirmed that any NZ teenagers with chronic conditions trying to access government support are out of luck 🫠

The pro-infection advocates have now reached the stage that they are denying saying that kids can be used to boost adult immunity… by infecting them and spreading it into households… schools.

Too late now. It’s on the record.

The shame of it.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Yes some did a poor job but then they just stopped
The reason for stopping was imo to ensure employers couldn’t be held responsible for employees contracting the virus in the workplace.
The economy took priority over human capital.

‘angry, middle-aged, white men’ are being manipulated by very dark obscenely wealthy individuals to create division.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Australia’s housing market isn’t a ladder, it’s a Ponzi scheme.

The new “first home buyer” plan just feeds the property lobby while renters queue in Bondi.

End negative gearing. Scrap CGT perks. Tax Airbnb rorts. Everyone knows how to fix it. No one’s got the guts.

And that is why countries that adhere to the rule of law have justice systems.
