In the UK we don't pay any vat on "essential" goods. And we have a raft of tax relief for lower earners.
Not that it helps much, but it's better than a poke in the eye.
Humans are more destructive than any other creature but we're not apex predators; you still need to watch out for bears in the woods.
Wait until you find out humans aren't apex predators.
My house was built in 1800. The level of work needed to make it ready for a heat pump would ruin me financially, even if a heat pump were a suitable alternative to my combi boiler.
An electric combi would be a much more straightforward alternative - but I never hear anyone suggesting them when we discuss moving away from gas in UK homes?
How old are you? I'm mid 30s and grew up with stone for human weight, and kg for everything else.
LBs never (except baking from old recipe books), and pints for beer only.
I never know where the cutoff is for us lot.
I'm not an ideologue, but historically, centrism (or, to be more precise, liberalism) has done a pretty poor job of defeating extreme points of view, because they typically won't do what's required to resolve the conditions which lead to extremism, and the response to threats to the status quo (socially or politically) are more often met with repression.
The adage "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" doesn't come from nowhere.
Judas wasted taxpayer silver. SAD that hardworking Romans had to pay out to get a JUDEAN TROUBLEMAKER put to justice.
The used to be - I had a flat that used an old style fused breaker. Fun times trying to replace a fuse when it had blown...
Oh yeah, we're gonna bring in some entry-level graduates, farm some work out to Singapore, that's the usual deal.
So, it's criminal to fire an individual after they join a union, but shutting a site is coincidence. Gotcha.
The big three I noticed are;
"not the way things used to be"/"removing my privilege"/"acing counter to my interests and prejudices"
