  Unemployed people to be used in flood clean up
Posted by: Lilith7 - Yesterday, 05:09 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (3)

On one hand, it makes some sense to get those who haven't a job to help clean up the mess, but on the other hand it does have a faint whiff of 'the poor must be made to work'.

And you have to hope they'll check that anyone involved is in good health & able to help.

  Home owners shouldn't expect buy outs in future
Posted by: Lilith7 - Yesterday, 12:10 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (1)

According to 'experts', home owners shouldn't get buyouts due to climate change. So those whose homes are  flooded out or damaged by weather events shouldn't expect help in future.

The group says individuals should be responsible for knowing the risks, & suggested a transition period of 20 years.

And there's been 'a significant rise' in home insurance. That may mean that in future, most may be unable to afford home insurance.

  David Seymour's hypocrisy over drugs & poverty
Posted by: Lilith7 - 07-07-2025, 03:46 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (11)

David Seymour wants more spending on pharmaceuticals like Wegovy because of the benefits to society, but isn't so keen on other forms of spending. 

Like child poverty. 

Despite big welfare funding increases showing that it leads to a noticeable drop in kids going hungry.

  Elon Musk launches political party
Posted by: Lilith7 - 06-07-2025, 03:51 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (2)

The America Party, but unsure if he's registered it as yet, plus he wasn't born in America & so is ineligible to run for the presidency.


Formed to 'give you back your freedom' apparently. Presumably, he doesn't do irony.. Rolleyes Big Grin
