@iain_staffell It would be useful to see that animation side by side with an additional animation showing the lowest estimated LCOS across the plane.

@RonOlander @ThirdWayKessler @Acyn Per capita is the correct way look at the issue. Your risk is a rate figure or a probability figure, not an aggregate figure unless I’m missing something.

@SimonClarkeMP @PaulGoodmanCH “Young people” are actually “people under 40” and “families with children under 12”

@APHClarkson Yep. I watched a documentary about... sad that this heroic stand is not as well known as battle for Kyiv

@benedictevans This is the 1st view when you open the Ailitalia app.

@rcolvile meaningful liabilities are going to be on government balance sheets one way or another - similar to financial crisis. Question is does government finance the utilities defaulting consumer obligations with equity or another bail out security. Equity is nationalisation.

@BritishGasHelp all I want to do is pay my bill online. I can’t register on app or on the website. And when I call you I can’t get through to an actual human to help me. Frustrating.

[Ben Kennedy @bgk2000]

@BritishGas hilariously I’m trying repeatedly to call you just to set up my account so I can pay you online but you tell me there aren’t no agents available. Any chance I can speak to someone so i can pay my bill!

@naomicfisher @alanbuxton This is my 7 year old child and we are terrified. But we don’t know what to do - what schools can we send him to? We are trying to get him held back a year but are concerned we won’t be allowed.

@Austen I’ve met 2 billionaires. One inherited. The other made a billion in a real estate bubble. They are not better at capital allocation than a moderately technocratic government

@BaldingsWorld You really believe if trump won the election the Democratic Party would be supportive of anti-vax movement?

@BruceReuters @DuncanStott It’s 6 months since brexit not five years.

@APHClarkson The US context is one where large segments of the population are armed and there is a strong citizen culture of the militia as the ultimate check on the state. What is the European comparable?

@VCKBwild Would be helpful if the ones that are being physically threatened sought protection of the federal government or resigned stating the inability of the government to protect them

@jjprague @estellecostanza The best argument against impeachment is the risk that the Senate may not convict, rendering the precedent that violence against the Congress is politically achievable

[Ben Kennedy @bgk2000]

@jjprague @estellecostanza They are afraid of setting the precedent that a President and a minority of violent followers can seek the violent intimidation or murder of opposition political leaders with no consequences

[Ben Kennedy @bgk2000]

@estellecostanza Armed clashes between federal police forces and armed militias / q followers and large scale imprisonment of people who take up arms against federal government over next few years

@anneapplebaum We lose those rights at 11pm UK time. Midnight in Europe. Just like the whole treaty, dictated by Europe.

[Ben Kennedy @bgk2000]

@LeaveHQ Perhaps we need a technocratic bureaucracy drafting and proposing law with a legislature that exercises veto or amendment rights. Wonder where we could find such a system.

@LCDCAlabama @Jason Contemporary america has parallels to the ancien regime, and he basically is a minor aristocrat
