Green new deal

vendredi 4 juin 2021 à 02:00

The EU's Green New Deal has many fundamental flaws. Here they are.

Not trying

vendredi 4 juin 2021 à 02:00

*"DOJ Antitrust is run by people promoted under Trump/Barr!"*, and they are not trying to restrain monopolies.

Price of medical data

vendredi 4 juin 2021 à 02:00

*Revealed: NHS England bosses meet with tech and pharmaceutical giants to discuss price list of millions of Brits' medical data.*

The data would be "anonymized", but we know that it is easy to identify most of the "anonymized" individuals given several data about each one.

The NHS has no inherent need to sell anyone access to data about its patients. The illusion of a need comes from the Tory policy of starving the NHS of funds, since 2019, which I believe is intended to lead to privatizing the NHS and thus effectively destroying it.

Tories now plan to include this in a business-supremacy treaty with the US, so that future UK governments would have their hands tied.

Financial side-effects

vendredi 4 juin 2021 à 02:00

Many Americans refuse Covid-19 vaccination because they fear it would cause them financial side-effects.

When properly understood, that concern is a reason to get vaccinated as soon as you can. Vaccination is gratis, but if you get a severe case of Covid-19, treatment is not.

However, the US needs to do a better job of showing everyone that vaccination is gratis.

Nuclear fission power plant

Two billionaires want to build a molten-salt nuclear fission power plant using US government money.

I am skeptical of the claim that this would be "clean" energy. It would not emit greenhouse gases, but it would create radioactive material.
