Have you ever met a poor farmer?

So why the financial incentives then? Let kid take over and run the farm and you can put your feet up and they'll look after you.

 

[Raven]

Because it has to be enough of an incentive to pack it all in. Many of them will have to find somewhere to live etc...seeing as they live at work.

And besides, we wank way more than 100k at other things, some public spending is absolutely absurd on the macro level.

Just take back the money that we've given the queen for inheriting a fuckload of farming land and give it to farmers. And whilst we're at it - take back the money she's getting for "owning" the seabeds around blighty.

That's enough financial incentive to make farming more sustainable and all we have to do is mildly inconvenience a single fabulously wealthy person

This sort of stuff is likely to be (not just may) rife amongst diplomatic service staff who have immunity from prosecution and investigation down the years.

It's rife in places where the police are able to invesitigate. So why would these humans be any different.

I was laughing at the second quote. Point still stands. It’s funny.

Yayyyyyyy! Friday!

Yay gales and heavy rain.

Weather is proper shit for the next week or so at least.

 

[Scouse]

Doesn't look bad tomorrow for me - not huge winds and sunny cloudy. Everywhere's under water but I never stayed clean on my bike anyway - so bike and BBQ will definitely be a thing.

Only thing about the wind is that I've a couple of massive old pine trees that really need bringing down safely on the forestry land behind me. I don't want to call them out because they might decide to kill them all, which would be devastating as they're beautiful.

It would be amusing if it was accurate. As it isn't, it's just some derpy Twitter user showing the world how derpy he is.

Apple v Epic: Tim Cook appears on the stand in Epic legal row

Apple's boss Tim Cook appears on the witness stand in the high-profile legal row with Epic Games.

Transparent lie - bang him up:

Facing questions about the level of profit the App Store generates from the 30% commission it takes on sales, he said: "We don't have a separate profit and loss statement for the App Store."
Instead, he said that he had a "feeling" that it was profitable - but could not share figures with the court.

Of course it's not 'accurate'. You need to understand how humour works.

I don't get how a judge doesn't pull him up on that and warn him not to perjure himself.

I'm assuming he's been coached on that by his lawyers who mustn't be afraid of demands to provide evidence.

I don't understand why devs don't just make a stand and threaten to sink apple by abandoning it.

I suppose it's because it's Epic Games.

Yeah. Lots of people would put their ability to pay their mortgage at risk for higher ideals.

You seem to continue to labour under the impression that people are free. The reality of life for most is that there are just differing degrees of slavery.

I saw a manager at Tesco today with a body camera on.

Is this the future? Everyone trying to out record each other (and obviously edit footage later)?

Its self preservation. When dealing with a volatile public why wouldnt you?

Abuse against shop workers has increased during the pandemic – it is time to take action to protect them - British Politics and Policy at LSE

Emmeline Taylor reports how attacks against shop workers have increased during the COVID-19 crisis, exacerbating an already problematic situation. Such incidents are often dismissed as ‘business crimes’ and therefore somehow victimless, rendering a change in the law necessary. Respect for Shop...

To be honest, body cameras for shop staff probably makes more sense than CCTV as that's always useless.
