I am not talking about division of responsibilities but more the underlying tone of how to respond to the problem. We are not getting a clear, consistent and decisive message from the top in the UK or the US. How individual state in the US

You are not wrong with respect to healthcare but leadership comes from the top, more so when this is not a State specific problem. Just listen to the Governor of NY plead for help. State's can chose to ignore the president but if the

I think the broader point to note here is that it's relatively easy to build simple machines. It's hard to build reliable complex machines. I would certainly trust a low end Ford Focus, more so than even a low end VW Golf /

My 16 mile commute is quickest on my ebike. Car = 35-40 minutes on average, sometimes more. eBike = 30-35 minutes consistently. The reason - bikes can 'filter' up to a set of lights, whereas a car in heavy traffic might take 2 or

This is a net sum loss. We, the species and the Our ecosystems will lose on the whole. The 'we've always had climate change' argument is bogus. It's the rate of change and the multitude of system's abilities to ad

TCLs are 'dumb' tv's with a Roku built in. They're quite popular so I might be missing why these are to be avoided and/or network disabled and Roku over HDMI is preferred?
