It's almost as if the entire country is in a deep psychosis. :-(

Neither do you, obviously. Iran hasn't invaded anyone for 2000 years, unlike the USA.

Make your own compost from kitchen scraps. There is no substitute that comes even close.

How much worse is it going to get until your military top brass do what they swore on oath do to and uphold the constitution? What red line does Donny have to cross for that to happen?

Are the owners of the legacy media also in the Epstein files by any chance ?

It's not all bad, the oil-rich state of Texas is leading the way in renewables in the US.

During covid, there was a noticeable increase in productivity while the software development team I was with, globally, were working from home.

Wow, our caring leaders suppressed a 'catastrophic' environmental report from the MoD
"because its conclusions were 'too negative', and because it would draw attention to the governmentโ€™s failure to act."

An animal testing facility is now 'national infrastructure' so protesting outside one is now illegal. Just standing there with a placard, even.

Exactly. Farmland is for food production, not panels.

All this came about because of IR35, it was unheard of before then. The government of the time didn't like freelance computer people earning big money, so they made the agencies pay their tax & NI. The agencies said 'no' and the freelancers all incorporated. It all follows from that.

Why did it happen?
Was it due to the BBC, ITV and Main Stream Media, maybe?
The word 'program' as in 'TV program' has a meaning. It's a verb ;-)

In a wood burner, the combustion is behind a door, with a draught up the chimney, so how does the pollution escape into the room? The door needs to be opened and closed carefully and slowly to avoid gasses being sucked or blown into the room. Is it operator error causing the issue?

Their noses are so deep in the trough, they can't see daylight.
