Another straw in the wind indicating America has gone to pot. How long will this slow agony last before it is displaced by the absolutely more acute pain of complete collapse and revolution?

Aye, you'd be wondering just how much damage the stupidity of grabbing the Russian cash has done worldwide. America just hasn't cottoned on to the fact that fewer and fewer are giving a feck about what it wants or thinks.

Yep, came across this with the EV brigade, Musk made 1,000 jobless which is, apparently, great news as the Tesla share price bounced back up!

Energy costs and climate fuckwittery are biting deep in Germany - Steelmaker Thyssenkrupp has announced a substantial production reduction at its site in Duisburg in western Germany, a step that will also lead to job cuts for its roughly 13,000 employees at the location, public broadcaster WDR...

I was told of a HR job going at a hotel in Kerry, they were interviewing 70 applicants! Up until now I’ve been hearing nothing but complaints about staff shortages.

Thankee! The question then becomes to what extent is she in a position to influence this?

Every tractor company out there says that battery tractors are just a pipe dream, they have all looked at it and have a model or two in their ranges that are electrically powered, but they are small and only good for running around the yard rather than doing any hard work in the fields. Diesel...
