I was going to cite Boris Johnson as a counterexample but given the unknown number of children I don't think the man has ever used a condom in his life so it's a moot point

Robin Odey has been making political donations to Jacob Rees-Mogg for over a decade, and then 'incubated' Rees-Mogg's asset management company Somerset Capital Management prior to it getting regulatory approval. Somerset Capital Management have made 10s of millions out of betting against British interests as a result of Brexit. This should be front page news and the country up in arms but will be met with an indifferent shrug.

That's because there's only two groups of people - those making money and the powerless.

Those who are powerless still have the power to grab a pitchfork and shove it - just too much subservience in this place. Other countries settle this poo poo by storming places and physically removing them.

This is 100% going to be on how mild this winter is, poor old people being unable to heat homes and middle class retired old people finding out that their favourite little shops, pubs and restaurants have been forced to shut down because of high electric prices (no cost cap for businesses) will be an absolute tipping point.

Businesses have a separate scheme which is capping their costs considerably as well. Many will still go under due to the incoming recession and inflation though.

Diet Crack
Jan 15, 2001

Incoming? It's already here unless we're going by the US Fed's everchanging definition

As someone who follows the markets and whatnot, the UK is going to get so turbofucked by Brexit on top of this global slowdown - the supply chains are going to get rinsed, inflation will combine with higher prices because of demand vs supply and toilet rolls are going to be fought over with knives.

The BoE suspects we're going to go into recession, we haven't finished Q3 which when it's calculated as negative will confirm the recession.

So yeah all right it is happening now but the announcement itself will be the main moment of impact and it'll roll on from there.

The trouble with your "expendable machines"

TACD posted:

Quick question about the COVID booster thing, is there a distinction between “immuno-comprised” and “severely immuno-compromised” when I go to book it?

Basically for the vaccinations last year I was in the group that got a text message invitation to an earlier session thanks to my coeliac disease, which is an immune-related condition but I wouldn’t say is “severe” in that regard. Does getting those texts mean I’m also eligible to book a booster now or is it only for a more severely compromised group?

There may be some guidance on the society page for your condition - British Association of Dermatology, ArthritisUK, British Thoracic Society etc.

In general it's the GPs screening the records to see what you've been labelled with and sending you an invite if you tick the necessary boxes. It is quite binary since they won't necessarily distinguish disease severity, just condition and any relevant immunosuppressive medication.

If you're under a hospital consultant it would be more helpful ask them directly. In my non-professional capacity if I were invited I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth and just get jabbed. The roll out has been a bit of a shitshow for the immunocompromised cohort since there are so many parameters (that keep changing!) that dont translate well to something a machine can do automatically and no one is paying staff to sit down and sift through these records. Everything that's being done is on top of existing work. :capitalism:

There's a ton of anger but nobody seems able to connect it to anything. Confusion abounds, nobody understands who or what to blame. The working class in this country are utterly deprived of the intellectual tools by which to comprehend what is being done to them.
