This book has the largest gap I saw between how interesting and useful it is and its cover

Problem is, the venn diagram of those people and people who know what EBITDA margin is and that it's publicly available for public companies is two separate circles with three light years between them

> clarity
> connecting a bunch of issues in a way that gives no solutions except abolish bad things maybe (not a solution)

Which one is it

Hatzola ambulances set alight in Golders Green arson attack CCTV footage circulating on social media shows three men approaching the vehicles and then fleeing the scene as flames appear

I grew up in this community and I have a few thoughts I want to share.

A short thread.

"Only the very desperate" except if you're a software engineer or a manager and you get to settle in three years with near zero bureaucracy, better than anywhere else in Europe

"Only the most desperate" except if you're a software engineer or a manager and you get to settle in three years with near zero bureaucracy, better than anywhere else in Europe

I just can't cope with journalists I respect repeating things that are so clearly false

The minimum salary to get a skilled worker visa is just below the proposed five year reduction. The typical skilled worker experience under the proposals is the same or better (seven year reduction)

Ian, skilled workers get to wait five years (same as now), because the minimum salary threshold for that visa is more or less the same as the five year reduction threshold

(Some will get a seven year reduction)

What's the scenario in which a skilled worker visa recipient waits 20?

Seeing how we have a surging party say that motorways should have 50mph limit, crack cocaine should be legal, and temporary workers should vote in national elections, maybe the the space is already there

If only we had a prominent journalist with a massive platform on board

(Seriously though, sometimes non-prescriptive statements about what the government can and cannot do become self-fulfilling prophecies, when repeated enough)

She is raising it with the band freeze! And the heightened inflation Stephen mentioned is going to speed that up

That's the least cut-like cut though, because it's fully in the future, unlike the WFA. A lower income increase is less visible than an explicit income reduction.

It also has the clearest moral justification, not leaving anyone worse off in non-hypothetical sense.

Not sure where this framing comes from. We don't need to rearm to support Ukraine, we need to rearm to defend ourselves and allies.

We could, theoretically speaking, start indexing pensions by inflation alone, rather than what we do now

Hardly headline welfare items, those

No that's not right, I do have an idea: because the Venn diagram of people moving to the UK as adults (having first-hand experience of immigration) and people represented in media or politics is two barely touching circles

Only one or two MPs from this group in Parliament, as far as I know

I have no idea why, for example, there are so many columns and takes assuming that immigrant workers are primarily in low paid jobs (see Polanski's "wiping bums" comment), when the minimum for a skilled worker visa is £41k, and most immigrant households have two incomes

From what I can tell, because a number of people believe that people abusing the system create a long term problem, so the reforms are meant to provide new incentives and disincentives

The media narrative is completely out of hand though and mostly is about an immigration system we don't have

Another thing that gets missed is how much easier it is to recruit drone operators than people clearing trenches out, and how this is a self-reinforcing cycle on the one hand and a consequence of Ukraine's structural problems as a state on the other

This is two post soviet armies, neither of whom can achieve meaningful air dominance and neither of which can sustain the level of fires their doctrines require, looking for substitutes for artillery tubes they dont have

Based on my extensive research and reading:

S Tier: The Epic of Gilgamesh
A Tier: Beowulf
B Tier: 50 Shades of Grey
C Tier: The Iliad

I have no idea how people write all those columns

Four hours and a lot of thinking later, +1k words and I'm not even sure they are good

(they are okay)

If someone with Sunder's platform can't make a Twitter racist abuser face consequences, what hope is there for anyone else

A long look at a QUICK STRIKE The grim realities of a faux nuclear war plan from 1958

For DOOMSDAY MACHINES this week, a post that has in some sense been in the making for something like a decade. It is a very close look at the "war plan," QUICK STRIKE, featured in the formerly classified 1958 film "The Power of Decision," produced for the USAF. doomsdaymachines.net/p/a-long-loo...
