Let's stop with the talk of maximising employment. Most people have bullshit, demeaning jobs.

They might be living in civilised nations, but they still need liberation ๐Ÿ—ฝ

Don't want escalation': Albanese calls for diplomacy after Iran strikes โ€” as it happened Anthony Albanese calls for Iran to go back to the negotiating table, saying the world has "long agreed" the nation cannot have a nuclear weapon. Take a look back at the day's coverage.

How much does their party have to do before we'll see widespread apologies from Labor voters?

Ok it's all a big conspiracy, the NYย Post is lying about a private company getting some funding and pursuing medical research.

No private company worldwide has ever improved healthcare, and they have a powerful media cabal ๐Ÿซค

Just admit you're wrong once in a while and your life would improve ๐ŸŒˆ

You're seriously claiming that all healthcare innovation worldwide is only ever done by public funding?

There are indeed people wanting extra health services who are prepared to pay for it โˆ’that's how these companies stay in business

There's always going to be people who want more health services than what's offered by the government to the mob.

If it wasn't for privately run health companies, there would be less innovation.

The vast majority of political candidates only got into it because they care about improving society.

Maybe you've met some bad ones, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Energy efficiency predictions for data centres in 2023 According to predictions by Vertiv, managing data centresโ€™ consumption and carbon footprint will drive trends toward regulation and standardisation in 2023

These companies are paying for their electricity and water though, so it's not like it's some runaway destruction.

And besides, data centres are only responsible for 3-4% of global electricity: datacentremagazine.com/articles/eff...
