@AndyGJBurge @Conservatives There does seem to be a weird sort of Future Lottery Winner group, too. “When I become filthy rich, I don’t want the taxman siphoning off my newfound lucre to pay for worthy cause x”
@PeterDiamandis@elonmusk@dvorahfr I think this confuses mean and median lifespans. Childhood mortality was super high, but adults tended to live fairly long lives for most of history as far as I know.
@Dorianlynskey If your proposed policy only works if everyone gets behind it, and is opposed by almost half of the people, it doesn’t stand much chance of success, does it?
@360Art_Design @martinocchio @jeremycorbyn As with anything, it's a little nuanced, and requires businesses to adapt, but generally see Seattle's example: https://t.co/FBEgXWFYIx or more generally on minimum wage intro in the UK: https://t.co/RcSvrhGD14
@cristo_radio@TalkTV@RMTunion Well, if public sector workers are paid more, then everyone’s wages eventually go up, due to competition for staff, but company profits get squeezed. I think a high wage economy is a better goal than a race to the bottom.
@Gillian_Hab@BetoMedia@BetoORourke If you start from the POV that you need a gun in your day to day life (hunting, etc) then it’s natural to want the “best” gun, whatever that is. I imagine it’s like being told MacBooks are now illegal so you have to use a crappy pc.
@darthothedead42 @Sandman_Netflix I think this might be Hankley Common in Surrey. I distinctly remember cycling past this spot a while back with those creepy cross things. The location is used for loads of filming.
@tdempsey100@Paul_Briley@Oliveoyl60@campbellclaret Unfortunately we’d first need a government with the integrity to create such a constitution. Imagine the pathetic rag we’d get if this shower wrote it.
@jaggedlines @trisweb @dburka@andybudd Missing the cost of maintaining all the failed features though (and/or the reputational impact of shipping mostly poor features).
