We had the same issue with Brexit It was in CA's interest to have people believe they had some sort of magic algorithm. And it was on the losing side's interest to believe that they would have won the vote if not interference by m

The one I can't get over is that when Netanyahu was speaking at the UN, he claimed they have hacked mobile phones in Gaza to force broadcast the speech. Yet months of co-ordination and training between various disconnected groups &#x2F

The problem with this argument is that it is very simplistic. And a very simple way of de-legitimising any anti-establishment position, and protecting the status quo. We can look at independence movements in Europe, Brexit, Trump, republica

I have yet to see good argument as to why the reactors on nuclear subs are "proof" of the viability of domestic commercial electrical reactors. They have different commercial viability, enriched fuel and safety requirements. Plus
