@AJE_Sport @AJEnglish I think instead of a social media vote, this should be decided by the teams playing eachother in a football match

You bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn.

[Ross @rosco]

@johnastoehr Strong disagree. Totally ignored the late great Hannibal Lecter. No mention of the effects of wind on bacon. And voters are absolutely none the wiser about her policy position vis a vis being eaten by sharks versus being electrocuted.

this could be an extinction event for florists

[Ross @rosco]

@egoist_minx @mnine5356 @iamharaldur I think that kind of makes the point. Bernie is the most extreme left the democrats have, but he’d be just regular centre-left in the UK.

[Ross @rosco]

@friendly_gecko @mnine5356 @iamharaldur I don’t know a great deal about the subtleties of tax but that doesn’t sound to me like something that on its own would redefine a centrist as a socialist.

[Ross @rosco]

@beccari_mattia @mnine5356 @iamharaldur Sure. Point is that Americans’ view of left-right is very different to other countries

[Ross @rosco]

@friendly_gecko @mnine5356 @iamharaldur In the UK, under our right-wing Conservative government, CGT was 24% for higher earners

[Ross @rosco]

@mnine5356 @iamharaldur The OP is European. The American version of “left” would be characterised as centrist in Europe.

@wesblack97 @jperlow @ZDNET @RadioFreeTom They look really nice but quite pricey last time I looked. Maybe I’ll be able to pick up some used units as time goes on. Trouble is, I need four units. Chromecast was so easy on the wallet.

[Ross @rosco]

@jperlow @ZDNET @RadioFreeTom I didn’t know that. Dayum.

Now that we can eat bat again I no longer wish to

@MattAAW Such a weird cult

[Ross @rosco]

@raftoregon @MonicaCrowley Real hard-hitting journalism there, challenging the candidate without fear or favour. “Sir, you are amazing and voters must vote for you.”

[Ross @rosco]

@mrdavidwhitley This is what I mean btw. It’s from an interview with Thiel in The Atlantic but I think it probably probably sums up Musk’s ideology too.

[Ross @rosco]

@mrdavidwhitley Not so sure. I think he’s aligned with the weird Peter Thiel school of libertarianism that believes democracy has failed and an authoritarian elite is required to teach the masses the right kind of freedom. Money comes with that of course, but it’s a grand ideology

@FPLMatthew I’m struggling to choose between him and Jota so currently got both. Doesn’t seem wise but it might be OK short-term.
