I'm making a continuous improvement based planning app. Early alpha at the moment, let me know if you're interested in a demo!

@ThePosieParker It'd be great to try and restore the culture that nurtured innovation and honest hard work, instead of the current apparent determination to crush it

@SherryBrower2 @SteveOnSpeed What's your view on inheritance taxes?

What a time to be alive

The company needs assistance, they look for a person who will provide that assistance at a price they are willing to pay.

Market forces drive the price point; if the assistance is easy to provide, there is more supply and the price goes down.

"Giving" a person a job has always seemed like a weird framing!

[Richard Wellum @richardw1001]

@GeorgeKerber404 @SteveOnSpeed Then you get into the question of "how much is treatment for this person worth" - literally putting cost numbers on individuals' lives. Should this person get the expensive but effective drug or the cheaper version?

[Richard Wellum @richardw1001]

We kind of saw a version of this around vaccines - absolutely demonic calls to deny treatment to people who hadn't complied with government edicts.

Then you get questions like should you pay for diabetes treatment for people whose diet you don't approve of, or cancer treatment for people who smoke/drink alcohol. It's a very slippery slope.

Should you pay for treatment who breaks their leg choosing to play football? You can easily argue that if they didn't make that choice, it wouldn't cost to treat it... Then it's a question of who makes those decisions; suddenly there's a lot of power placed in choosing where the line goes, case by case.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

A reminder that the Constitution was not written to restrain the citizens' behavior.

It was written to restrain the government's behavior.

@tottinge It feels like a time bomb for some time in the near future; there's going to be a LOT of rework

I don't pray for an easy life. I pray for the strength to handle a hard one.

God doesn't make us superhuman. He gives us the courage to keep walking when we are weak.

@ZubyMusic Meanwhile the West seems to be saying to people "Oh yeah, you don't like it? What are you going to do about it"

[Richard Wellum @richardw1001]

@ZubyMusic Dubai has a population that are mostly there through choice; Dubai only attracts/keeps these people if it treats them not only "well enough" but better than the other places these people can go to. It's literally a strategic necessity for Dubai to be a top tier place to live.

[ZUBY: @ZubyMusic]

It's remarkable how much better Dubai is run compared to any major Western city.

What's also remarkable is the refusal to learn how and why that is.

@ABridgen The price of bread went up?

[Richard Wellum @richardw1001]

@therealdanvega Code was never the answer. Get closer to what people need, and come up with better ways to solve problems, then feed that into whatever tools can bring that solution to life. You used to be that tool, but you can move up the value chain.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Banning teenagers from social media with ludicrous conditions is unworkable, unrealistic and unwanted.

Here’s a mad idea - let parents parent.

Not the state, but mums, dads, grandparents or whoever else.

Restore Britain will always trust the family over big government.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

The way people lost the plot during COVID and became proudly authoritarian.

@TheBritLad Divide it equally among them as a poetic reminder of their Fabian roots
