The real answer; burn something, and enjoy the 8 hours when the sun is shining to get electricity that is cheaper.

You dont need to indoctrinate people; the selection process takes care of most of the heavy lifting and the rest is taken care of by the fat paycheque and stock options.

imo there is absolutely nothing wrong with the conflict of interest, pretending it doesnt exist however suggests either dishonesty or a special kind of stupidity.

It would be fair to say they are really just an arm of the government right ?

Underwriters will typically take the highest price there will be no preference for the "mega-caps". Underwriters float stocks every day, they need to keep happy their core investors who make every other deal happen - retail / pension funds. It would probably even be preferable, if there was demand from Amazon or some other mega-cap to give them 0 in the float and then they can bid up the price in the open market and make everyone who is allocated in the IPO richer.

Our finest journalists can't even get through the subheading without failing. Our politicians have been acting - thats the problem.

1972 - 2023 UK is powerless and poor.

I don't like 99% tax rates, correlation is not causation, but the decline is real.

> Reality is that those systems should be killed one by one and finally when there is one system

It take so long to replace each of the systems, by the time you get to the "one true solution" 40 years have passed and you are back where you started.

"We need to, prior to licensing vaccines, do gold standard safety testing, like every other drug approval requires. We need to do double-blind placebo testing."

- We do mate.

Kennedy also said that he wanted to ensure “that vaccines are subject to the same kind of safety scrutiny and safety testing that other drugs are subject to."

- They are already subjected to more safety scrutiny and more safety testing.

"the hepatitis B vaccines that are currently approved had fewer than five days of safety testing."

- 2 years of human clinical trials is a longer length of time than 5 days.

People are generally awful people as well.
