catch22@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Support for legal abortion has risen since Supreme Court eliminated protections, AP-NORC poll finds4·11 months agoIt’s a handy thing for the right to stir up people over it as they don’t give a shit about the baby or the mother. They’re happy to implement it as it will get them votes with the only consequence of putting some women in medical danger. It’s a no lose prospect for them.
E: sorry should have said the political leaders of the right to differentiate from the cattle, i.e. right wing voters.

catch22@startrek.websiteto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Nigel Farage claims Russia was provoked into Ukraine war172·1 year agoOh the fucking gymnastics they’ll be concocting now!
Apple greedy and bad right?
Yes.
catch22@startrek.websiteto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Conservatives plan to bring back mandatory National Service6·1 year agoYeah, I don’t really like the idea of training everyone to be killing machines. But a national program to do all the other things associated with military training, such as fitness and basic survival training seems like a good thing.
But arguably these are things that could be done in national education programmes anyway. The Tory scumbags are just trying to appeal to bloodthirsty gammons. They have no interest in actually making society a healthier and happier place, they are always only interested in wealth and power.
Although, there may be a potential pragmatism in being prepared for shit kicking off with Putin. But it can’t be forgotten that they have blame in that rise to power too, taking backhanders and advantage of the right wing populism campaigns Putin’s been running for decades now.
catch22@startrek.websiteto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91%English11·1 year agoSo essentially, what happened is billions (probably 100’s at this point) of public money have been handed to private individuals and everyone is left in the shit, literally.

catch22@startrek.websiteto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•England set to miss post-Brexit targets to clean up rivers by 2027English61·1 year agoThis is just project fear, why would the Tories want to asset strip and destroy the country they live in, just for temporary gain.
catch22@startrek.websiteto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Planet is headed for at least 2.5C of heating with disastrous results for humanity, poll of hundreds of scientists finds | Planet is headed for at least 2.5C of heating with disastrous results2·1 year agoReally depends how you measure the economy. Gross national happiness seems like better way to judge the health of an economy than GDP, which has little bearing on the state of most people’s lives.
Humans make all this shit up, line goes up is a completely valid retort to how the economy is being mismanaged, because it is what is seemingly most important regardless of the quality of people’s lives.
Saying if the line didn’t go up, people’s live would be worse is true, but only because of who we are letting rule the playground, i.e. if they don’t have all the toys then nobody is getting anything.

catch22@startrek.websiteto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•ONS staff refuse to work two days a week in officeEnglish4·1 year agoThe arbitrary n days a week requirement is just a simple lazy way of ensuring people visit the buildings consistently so there is a valid reason to keep them paid for. It will also continue to be n+1 until things return to as they were or peoples investments are no longer going to benefit with more forced return to office.
Face to face meetings can be organised anywhere. Its just inefficient to be using a building and requiring people to travel for what does mostly amount to sitting on your own on teams calls anyway. The requirement to have people sitting in places where you occasionally bump into them just smacks of bad management.
In person meetings can be useful for improving social relations. Mandating n days a week on the off chance you might have a useful meeting is asinine.
catch22@startrek.websiteto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•ONS staff refuse to work two days a week in officeEnglish40·1 year agoOffice for national statistics, people who collate and curate data for analysis by other administrative groups. Do you mean they need to buy boots meal deals because that will help them open up excel?
catch22@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•‘Grownup’ leaders are pushing us towards catastrophe, says former US climate chief24·1 year agoPeople who use the term grownup in this context are ironically the most insufferable entitled brats. Just another case of scumbags projecting their own flaws.
catch22@startrek.websiteto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Sunak hints UK will leave ECHR to get Rwanda plan off the ground3·1 year agoHmmm this clearly hasn’t been long in the planning
E: I hope it’s another fuck up (in their terms), but you never know …
Interesting, like a viral suppressant, letting earth heal.
