Seems to be working just fine in the UK, US, India, Hungary, so I don't think any of the issues are to do with Astrazeneca. But the politics of it, absolutely.

Can someone explain to me what the motivation was for this whole thing? Did she want her 1 minute of fame? Seems like a really stupid series of actions that is going to destroy her life and bankrupt her. Wtf was she thinking? I genuinely wa

My perception of old media is that they are doing exactly this, writing click bait things to get clicks and subs. This is true across the board from CNN to NYT to Fox. At least with substack the incentives are not there for daily churn arti

A very elegant non-political article getting to the core of the issue - that yet again old business models are being disrupted and this pisses people off. Shame these pissed off people have to get political though.

It’s unacceptable that people building their own channel/brand/art have to work nights while doing a day job? This is normal. Life doesn’t owe you success. You have the suffer and work hard if you want more than a day job. Or move

Or they will have justification for removing "problematic" politicians because their userbase said so. You know, democracy. A userbase that already leans one way...

Liberal has not meant capitalism for a very long time, not in europe or anywhere else. Maybe if you say libertarian it still does. I really don't think europeans think the left in american are really "right". Europe is not fu

A dig at fathers in the first paragraph, and a diplomatically stated rejection of the nuclear family in the second. You need to be very generous to interpret this as anything other than an attack on the traditional family.

This is basically why Facebook doesn't offer a free option either, they make hardly anything from third world countries per user, but prob $50+ per year from USA users. So - third world countries can't pay a subscription, and for

I'm starting to think over 50% of google's magic is trying to actually get rid of the spam. I think a new search engine would have a very hard time getting through challenges google has already, like link spam, authority domain sp

I can’t help but think this is to do with genetics and mutations. I’m in a country where cases are now exploding because of the Brit mutation. And the whole Italy situation last year was a mutation I believe. I can’t help but think Europe i

Are their any actual legit studies that have shown if hosting an olympics is worth it for the overall economy or not? For example I think the olympics put Barcelona on the map for a lot of tourists and they’ve been reaping the rewards since

He just said he’s from a town of 30k people with 10 blacks. How exactly is assuming someone you talk to is from the 99.9% majority not normal? Of course this is the perfect example of our society today, where if you try and see racism sexis

Gulag system sucks? I don't know what country you are from, but I doubt its any with experiences of death camps. Take your non historical post truth head out of your ass and realise that MILLIONS of people were killed in nazi germany,

So, the only way this could possibly be true, as someone who has lived through the fall of communism, is if you are an oligarch or in an oligarch family who had first access to the resources of the state and got rich by getting ownership ri

Please everyone don’t forget google search positioning too. This is massive. Google have pushed YouTube into their search for a long time, basically building YouTube doing it. That brought insane traffic to YouTube videos and makes YouTube

Yes but it doesn’t help that you just complained loudly about the Uk breaking international law, then you go and break private company contracts with eu law to obviously cover your own backside in failed negotiations. This is the EUs bullyi

But politicians need votes within 4-5 years. So who really cares. At least the young people getting apartments now are getting a good deal. Who cares about the future??

Oh come on. They've already come for wall street bets for putting hedge funds in a difficult position. It will get worse. It will be about people in power going unchallenged. Wake up.

This makes absolutely no sense, and to me proves just how ignorant the left are of what could happen to them. Censorship always becomes about those in power staying in power. Look no further than wall street bets. That had nothing to do wit
