Worked for Kal-el

…as a treat.

Copenhagen is about the same latitude as north England or Ireland. It’s not mountainous and fairly warm. It’s great for cycling, especially with the water buses. (I really like Copenhagen)

Norway is rather different on the whole. Outside of Oslo or the larger towns I doubt you’d see as much, especially as you go north.

I feel like we’ve gone a long way down the the rabbit hole from the point I was trying to make.

These idea of an “owner class” at fault is wrong, because it’s really the pension investment funds of normal people who don’t control their investments directly. Those funds are legally required to buy stocks which are listed on indexes, and all other decisions of what to buy are the fund managers.

It’s the investment banking and finance industry that control where the money goes.

No one cares when there’s 3 fueling stations per mile

You’re not in Norway.

Have you lived in Norway? It’s a low density country and also very cold a lot of the year. You’re not cycling around for a lot of journeys.

Norway went the other way. They taxed fossil fuel cars at 100%.

Also because the car companies there denied that electric vehicles were going to happen for eons. I’m not even sure some of them have accepted it even now.

People investing to try to have a pension at the end of their working life are a long way down the food chain.

i.e. every working person.

The motion defined was it meant by Zionism which was support for a nationalist ethnostate. Any other definition of Zionism with respect to this motion is moving the goalposts

This was going to happen long before labour did anything. It was going to be voted on online a few months ago, but the vote got fillibustered by people who opposed it.

That said, is it for us in the UK to say that a one-state solution is the correct one? I think that’s overstepping our boundaries.

We’re already overstepping our boundaries by arming Israel. That’s a much worse case of solutionizing from afar. It’s a rather final solution from afar.

This stance is one that says “This is morally wrong”. Supporting a one state solution is just saying “We think this is a good road to peace and will support all efforts to go this way”. It’s not a demand on anyone. I’m sure green party members will be happy to see anything that stops the killing.

I don’t really see what you’re wringing your hands over.

…handled for their benefit though.

Theoretically, yes. In reality they’re a long way down the food chain.

Thermionic Valves or Pneumatic transport pipes?

It’s not invisible though (despite them wanting it to be). The hand is the culture of the investment banks. They set who the winners and losers are, and if there was one thing The Big Short showed very well, it’s that anyone going against that culture is exiled.

Nah, it’s a poncy pub.

A bar retains the ponce but lacks beer.

They own, but they don’t control that ownership. Their savings are used as investment funds, but very few actually know what they are invested in. That control is in the hands of the indexes. S&P, NASDAQ and the like. Just because NASDAQ blessed SpaceX with being part of their index, millions of pensions bought the stock.

Pretty sure Hegseth needs AA.

I expect he’d prefer no body hair at all.

They should go the whole way, and stop making RAM completely. That should send their profit margins to the moon.
