I once calculated the amount of energy taken by the "fast, high energy" wash cycle in my dishwasher, and by the "slow, eco-wash, low energy" cycle.
Guess which one used more energy?
The eco-wash did. Because, while it may have a lower kilowatts-per-hour rate, over the longer period, it used […]
It's easy to say this with hindsight, but what #DOGE should never have cut was the role of the lowly functionary whose job it is to ride with the emperor of the United States, whispering in his ear #MementoMori ("Remember you will die").

This comes as no surprise.
“Reaching net zero would cost about £4bn a year, the CCC found, or close to £100bn by 2050, which was roughly equivalent to the energy-related costs of the fossil fuel shocks that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”

In which case, the status quo will hold: the pandemic will continue with #NEIS, because what a government doesn't measure, it doesn't have to manage.
#FalseEconomy for votes.

Well then it would have been wise to allow those younger than 65 to be vaccinated. Eg age 55-65 as well. Many of us in this age demographic care for elderly parents and have school age children. A recipe for contagion. #flu #nhswintercrisis #falseeconomy
David Lammy decides to reduce the UK legal system to that of a third world nation. Poor governance should never be used as an excuse to jettison centuries of best legal practice.

Just won an eBay auction for a Steam Deck
£250 spent so I'll need to but a lot of indies on there for it to pay me back 🤣 #falseeconomy
#Falseeconomy As outlined in the article there could be a stock market crash and it could trigger a world recession. The very, very rich will still be very rich. But those who have savings/pensions/wealth etc invested

These are common sights throughout rural Kansas. Considering the great benefits they bring, it is hard to understand why the Trump administration has eliminated tax credits for their use. Just another false economy under the Big Beautiful Bill. #FalseEconomy
Slapping a bit of paint on these Lurkio Almughavars - I’m not that enamoured of the figures tbh, probably should have bitten the ££ bullet and gone for the Eureka ones ! #typicalwargamer #falseeconomy
Saying climate action is “too expensive” is like refusing a parachute because it costs more than the seat cushion.
The bill for inaction is already past due, and it doesn’t come with a payment plan.

You clearly don't understand that, otherwise you wouldn't have raised the point about salary.
The system needs to be looked at. What the country doesn't need is for hundreds of thousands of disabled people to be plunged further into poverty, which is exactly what Labour plans will do.
#FalseEconomy
Unfortunately, Labour stated in its Green Paper that their proposals for PIP scoring are not up for consultation.
LABOUR are taking disability benefits from hundreds of thousands of people who NEED them. That's going to put an even bigger burden of other services.

Migrants make up 1 in 5 care workers. Slamming the door won’t magically train British replacements it’ll just collapse an already broken system. #FalseEconomy
We have witnessed THE MOST stark lesson in history of what an underfunded #NHS leads to, c.a. 2010-2024.
The lack of resilience, infrastructure, and staff meant the 1st years of #COVID were an impossible ask
Further cuts are not the answer #FalseEconomy

Contractors always cost more… Firing employees to then take on #contractor at #FDA or anywhere is #inefficient and a #falseeconomy

8/10 DOGE's federal-building "fire sale" includes cancelling the lease for the office supporting NOAA's Mauna Loa Observatory, which records one of our planet's most critical vital signs: rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The supposed annual savings? Just $150,692.

We need funding to deliver the research, education & services promised 3 years ago and neglected for decades!
#FalseEconomy not to do so! £billions lost to economy plus human cost. #FundThePlan
Another #FalseEconomy from the MAGA crowd.

Am I the only one to see a contradiction between a NHS overwhelmed with respiratory infections and JCVI’s decision (based on their “bespoke” economic evaluation) to recommend very limited eligibility for COVID vaccines? #FalseEconomy
I bought aftermarket print cartridges for my HP printer. Saved $200.
