White people are terrified of being seen as racist.

If white guilt permeates the online world and our schools, then our adults will feel guilty too.

This helps neither whites nor ethnics.

@LBC The UK produces less than 1% of total global greenhouse gas emissions.

China currently produces roughly 33% to 35% of the world's total annual carbon dioxide emissions.

Oh Deary Me..... The Media if it cannot sell a story, will simply fabricate one just to sell it.

Denzel Washington said it best

"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read it, you're misinformed," he said, as reported in The Hill. 

"In our society, now it's just first — who cares, get it out there. We don't care who it hurts. We don't care who we destroy. We don't care if it's true. Just say it, sell it. Anything you practice you'll get good at — including BS."

“Their wealth is coming from the back ends of colonialism, so it’s not gonna work!”

Colonialism involved real exploitation no one denies that. But claiming most of today’s 1% wealth comes from ‘the back ends of colonialism’ is simply not true.

The richest people today Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, etc. built their fortunes in the last 20–40 years through tech, innovation, and creating products billions of people voluntarily use. These are mostly *new* fortunes, not old colonial loot passed down.

Wealth isn’t a fixed pie stolen from the past. It’s created. And the top 1% in America already pay around 40% of all federal income taxes.

If colonialism explained everything, why did places like Singapore, South Korea, and Botswana many of them colonised become far richer than many countries that weren’t? The difference is institutions, culture, property rights, and economic freedom not colonial history alone.

It’s called freedom of speech.

That is part of a democratic society. You may not like what people have to say, and others may not like your views either, but everyone is entitled to express their opinion peacefully and within the law.

Labelling everyone you disagree with as “far-right” or “extremist” only deepens division rather than encouraging open debate.

The Labour government has been little more than an empty vessel over the past couple of years.

After 14 years of Conservative rule, there has been plenty of time and opportunity to put things right. Instead, the country is facing more problems, more division, and more disappointment.

I look at the generation born after 1994 with a mixture of pride and concern. They went through school, found jobs, built careers, started families, bought homes, and took on mortgages.

Yet this same generation is now beginning to ask serious questions about the leaders they have voted for, election after election.

They are saying: “It’s been more than thirty years since democracy. We pay higher taxes every year, but we still don’t have reliable electricity, clean running water, decent public transport, good schools for our children, or functioning hospitals and clinics, roads and railway.”

The old excuses no longer hold. It can no longer be blamed on a small minority. This is why the ANC’s once-overwhelming majority has been steadily shrinking since 1994.

I’ve lived long enough to see the pattern clearly. The time for denial is over. The majority is slowly waking up to the truth: the real problem was never the minority.

It has always been poor leadership, corruption, and mismanagement by the ruling party.

We are finally coming full circle.

🚨HOLY COW: @ElonMusk has announced his support for Warren Buffett’s plan to eliminate the deficit in 5 minutes:

“Just pass a law that says, ‘Anytime there's a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection.’”

Do you support this?

It’s frustrating watching the same cycle play out year after year. Policymakers—especially career politicians—seem completely disconnected from how most industries actually work. They sit in offices making decisions about the NHS, education, housing, and everything else, without any real-world understanding of the systems they’re tinkering with.

We don’t need lifelong politicians running these departments. We need people who’ve spent decades in the field—people who know the ins and outs because they’ve lived it. Put them in charge, give them clear objectives and performance-based incentives, and if they can’t deliver meaningful change within a year, bring in someone who can.

It’s maddening to see the same familiar faces recycling the same failed ideas, while the people who actually understand these industries are left on the sidelines. After all this time, you’d think we’d have learned that experience matters more than political spin. 🤔🤔

[Christopher de Chalain @ChrisDechalain]

It’s all fine until the money dries up and there’s nothing left to reinvest. Then the buses stop running properly, maintenance slips, the infrastructure falls apart, and suddenly everyone’s wondering what happened.

There has to be some kind of payment — even a small one. If people don’t contribute at least a little, then yes, they can walk.

Take the service away, and you’ll see soon enough how long people last before they start wishing they’d paid the fare. But by then, the damage is done.

Those who are willing to pay will move on to something like Tesla’s taxi service, and before you know it, the buses are empty, the cash flow’s gone, and staff are being laid off. The whole system collapses — and then comes the finger-pointing.

In the end, it’s simple: people will pay — and even pay more — for a reliable, quality service. The trick is keeping that service worth paying for.

LOL - what a Muppet.

Has no bloody idea about Tesla and what its really about. Get yourself educated before spounting absolute nonsense.

- **Launch Statistics**: Completed 552 launches with 549 full successes; 138 in 2024 (94% of 144-goal) and 125 in 2025 so far (69% of 180-goal), with over 450 booster landings.

- **Success Rates**: High reliability, near 100% in recent years; reusability enables 1-3 launches weekly, setting world records like 61 in 2022.

- **Financial Growth**: Projected $15.5 billion revenue in 2025 (up from $13.1 billion in 2024); Starlink generates ~70% with 8.5 million subscribers.

- **Valuation and Market Share**: Valued at $127 billion in 2022, projected to $2.5 trillion by 2030; holds ~45% of global launch contracts, surpassing competitors.

- **Key Milestones - Reusability**: Pioneered booster landing (2015) and reflown boosters (2017), drastically reducing costs.

- **Crewed Achievements**: First private ISS mission (2020), all-civilian orbital flight (2021), private spacewalk (2024); NASA's primary partner for ISS.

- **Starlink and Starship**: Over 6,000 satellites for global internet; Starship's successful orbital tests (2024-2025) advance Mars goals.

- **Contracts and Partnerships**: Major deals like NASA's Artemis lander, $17 billion wireless airwaves; ended U.S. reliance on Russian rockets.

- **Challenges**: Technical setbacks (e.g., Starship explosions), environmental violations, workplace issues (600+ injuries), early near-bankruptcy (2006-2008).

Remember when Nancy Pelosi was the one demanding that illegal immigrants not be allowed to get government healthcare benefits? That was awesome.

[MAZE @mazemoore]

2007. Joe Biden: I would not allow sanctuary cities. They turn into dumps. Enforce federal immigration law

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

1996. Chuck Schumer rails against illegals getting taxpayer funded benefits because it incentivizes more illegal immigration:

“People say, why can't you stop illegal immigrants from coming here?"

“The number one answer we give our constituents is when they come here, they can get jobs, get benefits against the law because of fraud."

Chuck is now threatening to shut down the government over illegals getting taxpayer-funded healthcare.
