Dear god, he can’t possibly be actually that dense
Nah he's not. They're not allowed to do anything but toe the party line if they want election support/funding, ministerial roles, post-MP consulting jobs etc, so they say stupid things a lot and pretend they mean it.
It is proposing a new licence condition to “ensure electricity generators don’t take advantage of existing rules to make excessive profits”
Why? If you want an energy market you shouldn't be surprised when it does what it can to grow profits, including withholding supply to sell later at higher prices.
This is typical of the past 10-15 years. Plasters on gaping wounds. Energy providers should be competing to sell us their energy generation capabilities. Competition drives down prices in the long run, not intervention. Of course, the lack of an energy strategy or any investment into one for a decade does leave us a bit... well, fucked.
No-one is suing reddit for any of this. Reddit is a private business that can charge what it likes for it's API, can shut down 3P apps usage without warning etc.
The only power we have is leaving the platform.
There's been a thousand predictions of house prices falling over the past decade for a hundred reasons, and every single one falls over the fact we have a drastic shortage of housing and no credible plan to increase the speed we build them.
25-30% in real terms is pure fantasy pulled from your arse and it'll never happen, not even close. Does Lemmy have a remindme bot so I can come back in 6/12 months and point this out?
They're gonna get crucified at GE.
Food costs creep up, you notice the cost has gone up bit by bit and maybe your butter costs 50p more, you grumble and you put it in your basket anyway. Rice has gone up 35p but you use it often so you grab a packet anyway, 35p is annoying but it's only 35p.
Mortgage? For most people that goes up in one big bang from a 2% fix to a 5.5%. You're now paying £200+/month more and there's nothing you can do about it. Worse yet, you either fix and possibly fuck yourself over if rates start dropping or go variable hoping rates decrease sooner than later but stomach any increases before they do.
Yeah, Tories never deserved their "good with money and the economy" reputation, but they're killing it themselves anyway.
Joke will be on us eventually. The man is probably plotting his comeback already.
It's already started.
You misunderstand. Consultants don't want to be experts in anything. Becoming an expert takes a lot of time and experience, which naturally limits the number of things you can be an expert in.
No, consultants just want to say they're experts in things. No time/experience needed, just a plucky consultant and a keyboard.
With that in mind, Accenture are experts at SAP and AI now.
There's definitely more nodes than listed there, and definitely users at those nodes.
The least useful of the three feeds
And how does that stop them creating multiple accounts to multiply the limit? It doesn't.
Why would you subject yourself to Gnome voluntarily????
I use Arch btw
