Of all the errors made about the modern global economic system, the worst is to assume that interconnected supply chains are less resilient than relying on domestic production. Evidence is that the exact opposite is the case, however unintuitive that may seem.
A picture showing the evolution of the trash icon for Microsoft. It shows the usual green arrows in a circle going from highly pixilated circa 1995 to smooth and blue in 2015. For 2025 it has the Teams logo and for 2026 it has the Co-pilot logo.

Brilliant 👏
One bunch of fundamentalist extremist against another two!! Really scary stuff.
Wind and solar need heavy investment in micro generation and batteries - energy storage.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Of course they have!
The Home Secretary's decision, without any attempt at consultation or oversight, to limit refugees to 30 months in the UK before having to have their claims re-confirmed is a cruel, inhumane, and ultimately unworkable policy. The Home Secretary has claimed it is necessary to tackle "legitimate grievances". There is nothing legitimate about denying those fleeing war and persecution the ability to rebuild their lives. There is nothing legitimate about leaving them in limbo, increasing the stress and trauma they are already going through, and reinforcing hostility and racism against them. People seeking asylum often already have to wait years for their claims to be heard. Increasing the number of cases which the Home Office deals with is obviously never going to be feasible. The Home Secretary knows this. That is why she has pushed this through via the backdoor without any consultation. Instead of trying to grab headlines to appear "tough", this government needs to be ensuring that those who come here seeking safety are able to receive it faster, and more effectively. This latest PR stunt from the Home Office runs counter to any practical measures which are needed.
We are disgusted by the latest cruel and inhumane anti-asylum policy announced by the Home Secretary. Limiting refugees to 30 months before needing to re-apply undermines their ability to rebuild their lives, to feel safe and secure, all while increasing Home Office bureaucracy and costs.

Under rated comment stating number truths that people love to ignore!
Omg I don’t know how I forgot that Elizabeth Gaskell went on a tear for 2years gathering evidence and trying to be a whistleblower about the abuse that the Brontës suffered, after Charlotte Brontë’s death
such wild story and should be more known, esp. since she also suffered consequences
The main reason why he is so hated. It's the hypocrisy and lack of integrity. Easily threatened and pushed around - possibly easily bought.

It does a bit. I am being circumspect.
