So price went up 5 times and halved? Isn’t it still up by a lot? Weird misleading headlines.

No. It’s a plan to pull working class to voting against their class interests. It’s a conveyer into right wing voting.

Hopefully an influential free speech absolutist will step in now…

holds breath

Why are racist slurs on Lemmy? This isn’t Reddit or Xitter.

YMMV. I’ve seen issues in migration from Gitea to Codeberg. Always test first.

No one goes for source unless they have recommendation or use it and it wouldn’t matter in those cases where it is hosted.

Lot’s use Github, but it doesn’t matter. Lots hate Microsoft too.

Build a wall…

Abuse of benefits systems can happen. Cutting benefits to those that need it is not the solution.

That would require dividing a system that supports with enough human checks to make the right calls, ideally with doctors leading. The problem is, said system would cost more than the estimated 2% fraud and error that occurs so it probably isn’t worth it. If the fraud and error grows larger than that, it makes sense, but they would need to get a high quality solution right.

They imply it is only trained on their data. How can they even do that?

Is it open source and not connected to the Internet? How would it even know who Hitler was unless it trained on Reddit or X and that data is sitting remotely somewhere?

These academics seem quite dumb at times.

But it will. I think AI has more personality than Keir.

Red Tories, Blue Tories. All the same.

Just. Increase. Tax. On. The. Rich.

Domestically, what has he done to be loved?

Easy to blame the country, but no one is entitled to be loved by default.

I think he demonstrates global leadership in a number of things, but leadership of France on a range of things including privacy is not good.

First point, Long Covid can cause mental health issues including anxiety and depression.

Secondly, there is money. The tax burden on the richest has dropped massively since the 50s and their effective tax rate is a lot lower. We could reverse that, but Starmer is a red Tory so wouldn’t consider it.

You never hear a government say "can we really afford these fighter jets or nuclear subs? Do they say there is no money left?Nope. They print money. To quote Tony Benn, if you can afford to kill people, you can afford to help people.

Finally, the NHS functioned well before the Tories took over. One of the most effective and cost efficient health systems in the world but as demand has increased due to an aging population the money available has frozen for it. We wasted a lot of money on covid for Tory business friends. Mismanagement doesn’t mean something doesn’t work.

Apologies on the Murdoch dig. Couldn’t resist it as it amused me. In reality, he’s spent a lot of money to persuade people to think just like you, so he would be proud. I can imagine that isn’t a nice thing.

In the post war years, Clement Atlee’s Labour spent massively with a higher debt to GDP and debt to GDP came down. Building homes and founding the NHS. It isn’t just the USA that can print money. I appreciate without this historical context and the media brainwashing that something with empirical evidence can seem impossible.

And that costs money to train and help people. It doesn’t help that the country let covid run rampant across it, many got long covid and cannot work and the solution is to cut off their income rather than invest in science and treatment and help people get to a state where they can work.

Remember, the upturn in benefits came post covid and the budget tripling is a prediction based on them having no idea why it’s increasing and trying to graph a pattern. It won’t triple, that’s guess work. But they can use guess work to pull the wool over people’s eyes.

You’re an Aussie, why are you talking about UK tax. Are you Rupert Murdoch?!

And that won’t be possible if you are under 22, disabled or not. Even if estranged from parents.

The changes are about cutting money, not about clamping down on wrongly claimed benefits.

Private healthcare probably do. They’re getting more NHS money diverted their way soon

Keir is from the right of the party and surrounded himself with the right wing faction, Progress. He turned his back on unions and got money from business. He’s pro business and likely paid for. Don’t be surprised when he shows pro-business tendencies.
