Re: Why should they trust him?

This is how democracies work. When a new administration comes in, they look at what the previous administration did and if they don't like it, they change it. Trump was elected to make these changes.

Re: Right hand, left hand which one is doing what?

There are investing in it, they just expect the companies involved to cover a greater proportion of that investment than the Democrats did.

Re: So that's a "Demand for money backed by a threat of force."

The Biden administration caused the spike in egg prices by enforcing a draconian and completely unnecessary cull of chickens during a bird-flu scare. Neither Canada or Mexico, who were equally at risk, did this and are now enjoying a lucrative trade selling eggs to the US.

Re: Remember

This is bollocks. She was canned because she was useless but she knows the court will be way biased in her favour, so why not?

Re: Efficiently ? That's being WAY too polite.

A life-long enemy of Canada? Where do I sign up?

Re: Cuts in government spending impact entire supply chains.

The UK University sector is a bloated waste of space. Needs to be cut in half, at least, before it is good for purpose again.

Re: Gosh!

Meh. They backed the slow horse.

Re: Gosh!

I doubt he bothered. It's not like he needs it.

Re: Envy

"All that stuff EU bureaucrats did"

You have heard of Pournelle's Iron Law...

"In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals that the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely."

Re: How?

"And to our current useless government... Stop fscking around with benefits that you know deep down will hit those most in need the worst and get our crumbling infrastructure fixed."

Getting our 'crumbling infrastructure fixed' will cost money we don't have. 'Fucking around with benefits' is how you get that money.

Re: Rather escape Earth than what exactly?

Nobody wants to do this, it's just a lefty straw man.

Re: Jock centered societies

"History has many examples of societies that championed their warriors to the exclusion of everything else"

But you cannot name one of them.

"... Ukraine is today fighting and dying to keep the Russian advance away from the rest of the world."

This is just bullshit. Russia is not going to invade a NATO country and risk nuclear annihilation. It isn't going to happen. Grow up.

Re: MEGA

The USA has been falling down the rankings every year since Carter established the Department of Education. Good thing Trump is killing it.

People who want to find 'systemic bias' will always find 'systemic bias.'

Re: Wow...

I'm not.

Communism killed more people than Nazism by several orders of magnitude.

Re: The UK should be paying attention

Bullshit political grandstanding.

Re: The UK should be paying attention

Getting rid of useless '...Studies' departments is a good thing.

Re: The UK should be paying attention

"...we can only fire them if the US gives us permission."

We cracked the Polaris codes decades ago. And Trident not long after they were purchased.

Re: The UK should be paying attention

"...all the political parties start at Thatcherism and move right from there."

I wish.

Re: les queer studies?

Compared to Rachel Levine?

Re: les queer studies?

That's your best argument?

Re: It will ultimately limit their recruitment

"It's also discrimination against several protected characteristics."

How?

Re: Um....

The successful approach is the better approach. And that means the USA.

Re: Blokes (or whatever) acting like blokes

Sounds like most of them would be very offended at you saying that.

Re: Why oh why?

They all vote Democrat?

Re: As long as the paid-for versions remain ad-free.

"I do. People shouldn't be using a defective product."

And the Great God Anna Nymous gets to decide that for everyone? Fascist much?
