Every time a new supermarket outlet opens in Ireland, there's a big article in the local paper about the jobs that will be created (but nothing about the jobs lost in local butchers, greengrocers, bakeries etc., who they're targetting). And after the big announcement, they start replacing those jobs

Can we have this here in Australia? Shoppers should be paid for their efforts in serving themselves #auspol

New York introduced bill requiring 10% discount on all items at self-checkout.

A reminder: If you absolutely cannot boycott Amazon, don’t. But can you make them NOT your default? If every Amazon customer cut their spending by just 10%, Bezos would burst his facelift sutures. This doesn’t have to be an all or nothing.

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

👏 UNEMPLOYMENT 👏 IS 👏 A 👏 CONSTANT 👏 If you shame one benefit claimant into getting a job, somebody else doesn't get it. So it imposes no cost on society to live on benefits *even if you choose to*. Making it harder to get benefits is simply cruel.

Andy Burnham to make it harder for people to claim benefits, vows to ‘get serious’ about cutting welfare bill. Silence on corporate welfare. 37.8% of Universal Credit claimants are in work. Due to hikes in retirement age, many seniors can't work, claim benefits. Women will be hardest hit.

I'm not saying she's necessarily the stupidest person of all time, but she's definitely the person with the biggest ever gap between how clever they think they are, and how stupid they actually are.

JKR: Trouble is, 'trans' isn't an adjective. 'Trans woman' is a compound noun meaning 'man who wants to be considered a woman.' If the individual being described isn't trans, he's simply a man, whereas a bespectacled woman remains a woman even if she's not wearing glasses.

So I think it's past time, let's storm the barricades, say... tomorrow afternoon? I'm going to need a lie in and a cooked breakfast before storming anything! And let's dig out the family "eat the rich" recipes tonight? Yeah? Cool *slaps thigh* Get an early night though! Big day tomorrow
