Just, because …

I saw a republican politician say recently that 40% of people who took up the ACA insurance subsidies didn’t actually use the insurance!

Cycle to work? Work to cycle? I know which one works for me - I mean, if I was to actually work, of course!

Who needs a MBA when it is this clear! Poor USA 😞

I learnt a new word/phrase - 'throning'. Apparently, it is a term for dating, where at least one person is in the relationship solely for the status that the other gives to them. Transactional relationships - 'what is in it for me'?

Boom, boom! Sad, but true ...

The demolition of (USA) 'democracy' ... seems rather apt.

@staticb4storm.bsky.social thanks.

As has been said before, Trump has done wonders for enhancing the profile of ‘recreational’ drug users being leaders: RFK, jnr. & heroin; Musk & ketamine; and, Don, jnr. & cocaine. I can imagine this as the justification for the ‘Caribbean’ strikes?

Yahoo & happy birthday @pbsnews.org

Pneuma? But not Tool’s #Pneuma? Interesting!

There could be something there - a course suited to #Pog, as repayment for all that he has done for UAE over the years?

Oops ...

It is particularly this image that I want to see explored more - it is evident that the four of them are quite intimate. So, what is the story???

@stuckinahayz.bsky.social thanks.

@deadmanthesaint.bsky.social thanks.

@avviegamergirl.bsky.social thanks.

@rabidinsomnia.bsky.social thanks.

Possibly out of context, but ... so they should - it's not all about him!

Leaving aside the political aspect, I do, however, wonder how much it pales against the extent of POTUS undertaking such actions, e.g. the BOXES of NatSec materials at Mar-a-largo not so long ago ... The hypocrisy astounds me, TBH

@ennislaw.bsky.social thanks.

@talbright.bsky.social thanks.

I concur! When we embrace solidarity, it makes for a stronger community - rather than emphasising our differences & wondering why nobody else supports our 'my way is the best way' rhetoric?

@bradduplessis.bsky.social thanks.

Thank you! Of course, if only that was true - it would explain so much! Unfortunately, as you rightly pointed out before, people going 'off grid' do little - if anything, to ameliorate the actual costings of sustaining the electricity grid infrastructure. I must thank you for making a good point!

Another one 'doored' to death - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanda_P... #bikesky

@nonzerosumjames.bsky.social thanks.

That's about right - what Rousseau referred to as the 'social contract'?

Most of that I could not comment on. However, it seems that I must apologise & clarify what I said, as being that the ongoing creeping decrepitude of the infrastructure & its inherent costs, may be offset by decreasing demand through the uptake of domestic batteries. It was just an #auspol thought.

@avviegamergirl.bsky.social thanks.

Well, that is a concern! 🤔

Thank you. So, you agree that I could be correct, then? However, if the batteries negated the need to be connected to the grid, if the household could be self-sufficient, this may be so.

@tweetyb.bsky.social thank you.

Thanks be to Biden/Harris (& Blinken too)!

I too am concerned about this!

Just an #auspol thought ... I wonder if the push for domestic solar batteries was because it was cheaper to rebate the batteries (since 07/25) than it was to invest in, or replace/update, the infrastructure, e.g. poles, wires, etc.

Well, there you go!

Will you look at that - who'd have thought, hey?

An appropriate sign?

Then they have the audacity to charge me $ for a paper statement!

Well, that quantifies things nicely!

Good thing to do!

@meekpoitiercons.bsky.social thanks

Hmm, it may well be the case!

Gosh - there was that about it, yes!

Perhaps not ...

It is wearying, yes.

@girlonabrompton.bsky.social for what it is worth, all the best.

Dang! I enjoyed your premise, being on a Brompton. That you were female was an added bonus! But, safety is paramount, so "ciao bella" 🙍‍♀️

It is a good question, that needs an answer (& not an evasion).
