People who say that tend to be incapable of taking the day off. They’re pretty dull people to have a conversation with. Unless of course you happen to be the same sort of dull as they are.
Yes, everything’s political to some degree. But you don’t have to make everything political like your ideology is your entire personality or something. That’s why people say they don’t like politics.
Kennedy got to the moon by giving some Nazis a free pass for heavy participation in the Holocaust.
Clinton got to the White House by pushing for and signing the death warrant for a man who was executed with a mental age of 9 as a campaign stunt. Also a serial molester.
Obama became Pakistan’s No.1 Wedding crasher, had a personal kill list, reneged on his promise to close the US concentration camp in Cuba and bugged Merkel’s phone.
If these are the best examples someone can come up with, it rather illustrates how we got to this point. Those were the “good” ones.
They’re certainly making up for that now
Britain’s a bit different, as it’s caught in a perfect storm. It got a large amount of its energy from Russia, and the invasion hit just as Britain was also pouring massive investment into renewables and nuclear, which has to be paid for via energy bills. Add onto that the £40bn annual loss to the economy from Brexit and yeah, prices aren’t going down any time soon, but it isn’t necessarily because of profiteering. For example, rail freight operators have mothballed their electric fleet because the tariff per mile is so much higher than diesel at the moment. And they’re a business sector who can readily change from electricity.
For context, that’s just under 30mins worth of the US military budget for 2025.
Garber, who was previously provost and interim-president, made $922,068, plus other compensation of $242,968 during calendar year 2023, according to Harvard Magazine.
If he can afford that he was paid too much to begin with.
EBU membership is open to broadcasters in the ITU Europe region, which is based on telecom infrastructure (particularly the telegraph cables of the British Empire) rather than geography or politics. As such Europe is the continent + North Africa + the Levant.
I said nothing about the US. You’re going off half-cocked there. The question was why bands in such a situation simply wouldn’t stay in Europe after their tour.
You’re acting like that American cop who heard an acorn falling on his car and just started blasting.
They’re different divisions of WBD. HBO is a premium cable channel that focuses on high-end productions, while Max is a general streaming service.
As in they couldn’t just stay in Europe after their tour.
HBO objected to HBO Max, so it was rebranded to Max. Now the top HBO execs have left so they’re changing it back.
Funnily enough European countries have immigration laws too.
I have never seen a manual urinal in Britain. Never.
I was today years old when I realised Americans have to manually flush their urinals. It’s basically half the advantage gone.
Biden was a bit of a walking disaster on the international stage, very gaffe prone. Obama bugged Merkel and got caught, and spent much of his time crashing Pakistani weddings with missiles so he wasn’t exactly Mr Popularity either.
It was a low bar, and Trump managed to get stuck under even that.
Good. Churches only interaction with the government should be to pay taxes.
Draw your attention to (e)
one particular country.
Police, fire, ambulance, coastguard, mountain rescue.
Then the police phone the Ministry of Defence who send a disposal team.
999 is the original. 911 didn’t come along until 30 years later.
