You keep repeating bankers and politicians but don't seem to be going into much detail. Which politicians? Which bankers? When did your neighbours get enough money to invest through blackrock and when did they become billionaires?

This whole argument of peoples pension funds being the largest shareholders in a company is bizarre. https://www.blackrock.com/institutions/en-us/insights/public-pensions-survey pensions are owning less and less of the stock markets every year, become less and less relevant. Institutions like blackrock however are growing. Consistently.

Like mate your neighbour Barry isn't calling into the shareholders meeting to criticise the CEO for paying $0.05 an hour over minimum wage the the receptionist.

I get around this by simply not buying a Mac. Free's up so much money for ram.

But it also proves that if a company gives a shit, they can do it. This can be achieved with lower costs and experience, so in time the costs will come down.

Whereas Activision blizzard don't give a fuck and anytime there's a new DlC or game there's significant downtime despite being a multi billion dollar company. Why people continue to support them I'll never know

Alot of people don't like Microsoft, but they're pushing for zero password authentication for a reason. Passwords are getting really insecure really fast.

I mean I owned a car from the ages of 18 to 25, never had a claim.

I'm 27 now and looked at getting a car for the odd time I need one and and insurance premiums are an average of £1100 to £1700. Why bother? I'll just continue to get the train

Growth slowing is fine when your economic system doesn't require infinite growth. If we're looking for shrinkage we need to change economic systems... Which I'm personally all for

Okay and what's the difference between US companies stealing my data? I'm not American yet American companies are forever stealing my data.

I'll just stop buying anything then

That's it boys, time to blow up every hospital in Palestine as that seems to be the only reasonable response to this.

If you watched the piece, there is video evidence of him being a disgusting piece of shit regardless. There was footage of him forcefully kissing a presenter and undoing her bra. The police failed to investigate. These women were failed by lazy, misogynistic police, just like they always are.

To top it off, slander laws in the UK are very strict, no one is going to post accusations like this without serious evidence to back themselves up.

Chernobyl was a worst case scenario. It has affected millions of people and will have an unknown death toll due to the inability to measure it.

It's still less harmful than any non renewal able energy source.

Nuclear is a safe, intermediate bandaid while we find a long term solution.
