    Barbecued sweetcorn.PB doesn't taste like plastic, it tastes like the contents of an infant's diaper, which it also resembles.

It's an excuse. Canada's quota system is to prevent cheap, substandard garbage from being dumped on them (47% of the dairy industry's income is paid by the US government, but they bleat about "socialism"). It also hasn't been exceeded since Trump's 2019 deal, so it's effectively no tariff at all. Another excuse. A two state solution is unworkable because neither Netanyahu nor Sinwar can afford it. Both depend on fear for their political survival.   less

The Allies were guilted into it having done nothing to stop Hitler's inhumane treatment of Jewish people which started several years before the War. That after Britain had reneged on an agreement struck with Chaim Weizmann in the FIRST World War when Britain wrested control over the region from the Turks. Transjordan was a fustercluck that was never going to work. One would think that after being the victims of one of the worst genocides in history, the Jewish folks above all others would hesitate to perpetrate a genocide themselves. But that's what is happening in Gaza.Modern history. Study it.  less

No government delays, no red tape, I don't think they even bothered to check it. A specialist decided it was necessary, so it happened. So that's not how it works, not at all. Your doctor's secretary was probably incompetent, or being American the government "insurance" didn't know how it was supposed to work either. I pay a 2% levy on my income tax, a tiny fraction of what private cover (with no copays) would cost me in the States. The government actually doesn't have the option to refuse, the only push back is that they won't subsidize brand name drugs when a generic option is available - pharmacists have a list of what's on the PBS (several thousand lines of Excel spreadsheet but a search is easy). The important thing is the ingredients, the label doesn't matter.  less

It's private insurers who cause doctors to jump through hoops, then veto treatments as being "too expensive" - or slapping massive copays on them. All the government does down here is pay for the treatment that qualified physicians prescribe. Finis. The only time they get involved beyond that is approving narcotics where absolutely necessary - it does require Health Department approval to prescribe drugs of dependence, except during a hospital stay where post-operative opioids may be the only reasonable pain relief option (I had a morphine button for 72 hours after my discectomy and fusion, programmed to release no more than one dose every six hours).Do you know how many nations where medical bankruptcies occur? One.The only losers in a UHC system are the insurance company shareholders, and I'm not losing any sleep over them.  less

He was very unnerved by her demeanor, if not frankly confused.Bravo, Alexandria.

With Peter Dutton standing as an ersatz Trump and Gina the Hutt in the Muskrat role, Australia has rejected him utterly.

Or gunned down ICE agents attempting to wrongfully arrest innocent people? I'm NOT advocating for these things to happen, I believe that the Second is an anachronism that should have been repealed by the end of the First World War. I'm just wondering why nobody has done it yet.  less

They are found in low concentrations in Canada, higher in South Africa and Australia,  but mostly in China. China isn't hitting the US with tariffs - they're stopping export altogether. These rare elements are VITAL to the US defense industry, as well as electric motors, aircraft engines etc. Unless the US can source them elsewhere (they can't, nobody else has got any), there will be no more semiconductors so there goes your electronics industry. Airbus already produces better airplanes than Boeing, but without yttrium Boeing will be forced to cease production altogether. Elon can't build his Teslas without neodymium and dysprosium. And no more stealth bombers or ammunition without tungsten. Supply chains. His Royal Orangeness has shattered them. Defend THAT, MAGAts.  less
