@alcyone0000@sbABetterLeader Be careful with anything you might put in your nasal passages, it does need to be sterile. You can make a solution with recently boiled water but it doesn't keep. If you just want a mouthwash, something with CPC can be more effective than anything.
@Kenneth33071904 I use a Laianzhi HYX1002 as Auras are a bit too small for me. Fish style masks are great but I sometimes find the edges can be a bit sharp and dig into your skin over over periods. This isn't the case with a duckbill, or with a Zimi. But Zimi fit depends on nose shape and cutout.
@axiochrono You dont need to think you'd win a referendum immediately to make the case for it. Just like with Scottish independence or a border poll. A referendum establishes that it is within our power to control these arrangements, that the royals serve with consent which can be withdrawn.
@PhilipProudfoot I think it just goes to show how Polanski has not, in fact, found one weird trick to doing well in a hostile political and media environment. There will always be something that week for them to pick you up on. If they see you as enough of a threat to bother. As with Corbyn.
@troovus@Freecitizen864 I think people probably did read too much into the dual membership and collective leadership votes, there's quite a few reasons people were in favour. Ending public drama between high profile MPs and collaboration with the greens prob bigger factors than "I want an SWP takeover"
@bigpicturepol@earthygirl011 Think a big part of dissatisfaction with the current system that taxes do not appear to people to be connected to improving services and standards in this country. Why would you want to pay more when the government is just going to make cuts in the name of "balancing the books".
@bigpicturepol@earthygirl011 I assume the point you're getting at is that general taxation for inflation control wld be unpopular. Just not make or break considering current failures. Many wld rather be in a high tax society anyway if it means functional public services and living standards ala nordic model.
@bigpicturepol@earthygirl011 Governments can generally be aware if the resources are there before they commit to a given project.
I'm not an MMT fundamentalist but I find arguments against it quite weak in the midst of the complete collapse in confidence and satisfaction with the current approach.
@bigpicturepol@earthygirl011 We don't really borrow "from" the market though, we create money and then use bonds as a means of controlling the inflationary impact of that. But there are other ways of controlling inflation, that are less about handing money and power away from the people in a democracy.
@JENBROOK8@Sarah_pdx YP is gonna have to learn from the DSA if they want to turn into a productice and impactful organisation after the mistakes of the past few months.
@no_dystopia@AaronBastani If nobody can buy new bikes then second hand bikes shoot up in value. Which we saw during the lockdowns. You also probably want reliability from something you're using to commute.
@angryaboutbikes Ignoring that stuff is one thing, but I barely even see stuff from people I actually like any more. And certainly nothing about Palestine. Losing my reasons to stay, but still nowhere else to really replace what was lost.
