@BriannaWu I mean I'm not sure what the point in trans public policy is. I think for the most part in the west, once you are an adult you have a right to look and call yourself whatever you like and you should be protected to express that. You just can't change sex specific laws.
@BriannaWu I mean fair enough. I don't think agree on that specifically. I know I would still rather be trans in Britain than turkey. I think she did good work on settling issues around bathrooms etc.
Today, it’s England v Argentina.
The last time England faced Argentina, Margaret Thatcher sent a task force to liberate the Falklands, and the lads sent them packing. 🏴

The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.
And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.
One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.
Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.
If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.
Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.
Alternatively
There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.
To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.
It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)
Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.
Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up
But
They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks
Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.
First the Defence Secretary resigned saying the government is making the country and our troops less safe.
Then the Veterans Minister went, saying the government is abandoning our veterans and it’s harming our national defence.
It’s clear the armed forces have lost all faith in Keir Starmer. A Prime Minister who cannot command the respect of our military cannot continue in office.
Britain’s national security must come before Keir Starmer’s ego. The Prime Minister’s time is up.

Ever since the season 4 update I keep getting the attestation issue. I play in an internet cafe and they say everything is up to date. Can't play my normal game modes
The rape gangs scandal is the greatest state failure in British history.
Public bodies and politicians aided and abetted the mass rape and sexual exploitation of children. Predominantly white working-class girls were brutalised by criminal gangs who were (and still are) disproportionately men of Pakistani nationality or heritage.
Inquiries and words are not enough. State-enabled child sexual exploitation continues to this day, including in Wigan and Makerfield.
For decades, politicians like Andy Burnham, local authorities, the police and the media engaged in a conspiracy of silence - institutional avoidance in the name of political correctness.
It is time for action.
A Reform government will redress the harms caused by public servants in so many Labour-run local authorities. Within our first 100 days, we will:
- Release all files held by public bodies relating to the grooming gangs, going back 40 years.
- Increase police and National Crime Agency taskforce funding by £300m, taking it to £400m, so they can adequately investigate the perpetrators and the complicit police officers, social workers and politicians who enabled them. They will be given every resource they require.
This is our plan to finally deliver justice for our girls.
1) Be the political class.
2) Import infinite migrants to take all the low paid entry level jobs.
3) Toss young Brits onto welfare in record numbers.
4) Insult young Brits calling them lazy and workshy.
5) Be shocked when voters call the political class traitors.

@ThaAvatarist Would love if you made a video on the Rava Vs Vaatu episodes and the avatar cycle. I remember watching that and now knowing the lore it has made me an even bigger fan. It really was a game changer for me with the show. Turned Korra from good into a great show for me.

I didn't feel great downloading the new movie but I didn't want to get spoiled.
It was beautiful though. 10/10
Can't wait to watch it again hopefully in the cinema but will watch anywhere that has it and the series.
@AaronBastani I think you're missing the religious fundamentalist part out of this symbiotic equation.
You have a bias because you can only see the results of the sanctions but I think to say the risk for mass death if Iran was more powerful outweighs the chance of it going well.
A tragedy is unfolding: aside from murdering women for showing their hair, hanging thousands for being gay, murdering their political opposition, cancelling democracy, killing thousands of their own citizens for peacefully demonstrating, plundering their nation’s wealth to line their own pockets, destroying Lebanon & Gazan society via their proxies, supporting Assad’s mass murder of his own people, murdering Jews whenever possible, supporting genocide against Jews and planning the annihilation of Israel while running an annual Holocaust-mocking cartoon competition, murdering hundreds of US servicemen, announcing it was planning the assassination of Donald Trump, making proxy wars against Sunni Arabs and relentlessly trying to build a nuclear weapon to potentially satisfy an apocalyptic religious prophecy by dropping it on Israel & generally planning the end of Western civilisation, what has the Iranian regime done to deserve this attack?
@ziontree Hmm I think there is a Distinction between apps like Instagram and Facebook etc that should be banned for kids
Platforms like youtube can be great for kids if managed well and can be educational and fun.
@basedandbougie I mean I like the stuff you do but this isn't a racial thing. Plenty of sick people like this around the world. Just a sick person who needs to be jailed.
Doesn't need to be racialised.
