Read the article again.

Even this activist website admits these are not really subsidies, but conventional tax breaks that ALL companies get for R&D investment.

You advocated for direct subsidies for electric vehicles by claiming that the UK government already subsidises petrol. It's a weak argument based on no evidence.

Even if it was true, then maybe your argument would be to remove all tax breaks and subsidies for all companies. Not to add even more?

The UK government subsidises petrol?

12 Sep : IPhone 15 event

4 Oct : Pixel 8 event

Excited to see what these events will bring !

I'm liking this platform a little more after having a look around.

I exited all socials and have been 'offline' for such a long time. I craved human connection that wasn't existing in the online space.

I've since found a group of good humans and it's growing thanks #richfutur.

I had/have a voice but was too scared to share it because I didn't know who was reading or if I wasn't relevant enough would I be deleted.

This place feels like a fresh start.

I've decided to start blogging and uploading video's of my journey of learning about plants and how to use them.

I have had a craving for a longer time that I can remember to know what plants are what and how do we use them as medicine. Our ancestors would have known and passed it onto their children but somehow along the way it seems to have been lost in societies at least in the Western world anyway.

I have a Mauritian background with an Australian upbringing and I know my father and grandmothers knew what to do when they had an ailment. I remember growing up and there were countless ways to remedy ourselves.

I want to learn to be able to teach my kids so it's this knowledge isn't lost.

I have a hungry curiosity genuinely about how they work and I don't think I'm alone.

I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would prefer to heal themselves without reaching for another pill.

I'll just get started in my next post. I don't have a structure for this but I plan on meeting elders and asking questions and documenting it with the best way I know.

It's not supposed to be perfect but I'm going to learn and hope that anyone that wants to will follow along too.

To our health x

I dislike servers

Thank you. Thought you were implying I was AI-genereated or something. Thanks for the compliment.

Finally taking flight

I know you don't think it's right

I know that you think it's fake

Maybe fake's what I like

The point is, I have the right

For the record, my breasts aren't even real, but that's what they look like. My real ones were cut off after they tried to kill me. I'm grateful for the reconstructive surgery that permitted me to retain, what is to me, an important feminine feature. And I'll admit I touch up my photos--I'll embellish my image all I want. I'll celebrate my life, my story, and my character however I choose. No one's obligated to tune in for it. Good luck on your quest for realness. 💛

How do they fund the subsidy?

More government intervention here is the problem, not the solution.

And the air quality rationale is a hoax. No one dies from pollution in London. I'm lucky to drive a modern petrol car, so the tax isn't coming for me (yet), but it's insane how much of our taxes have gone into installing thousands of cameras across Greater London in the name of a non-existent problem.

Your loss. I also suck at having the attention span for books but I believe the discipline and focus exercise is worth it for the best books

I live in the same area as Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London. He's currently pushing through an extremely unpopular expansion of London's ULEZ (ultra low Emission Zone) that requires non-compliant vehicles to pay around £12.50 per DAY.

There's a caravan parked on a road here emblazoned with text calling Khan a liar, and accusing him of being a dictator. Imo, pretty fair (if hyperbolic) criticism. The liar criticism part is due to the premis that the ULEZ is to prevent children dying - obviously nonsense.

As I was walking by this afternoon I see some counter-protest posters stuck on a few trees. They made me really annoyed, and perfectly represent modern politics: no rational argument for ULEZ, but instead accusing the other protest of "hate speech" 😪

Part of me is hopeful that this ULEZ situation wakes people up more to the overreach of government, and the silly woke arguments that support it.
