If it makes you feel better I’d have loved to vote lib dem, but had to hold my nose to vote labour.

I think it’s important to note that the primary reason the conservative party has had many of their seats in the past is because the left/socially progressive vote was split between labour, lib Dems and the greens.
For me I’d say the one-nation part of the conservative party.
And socially progressive parties got 56% of the vote. But that’s split between about 4 parties.
What’s that got to do with the price of fish?
Just because it’s safe doesn’t mean it’s the best we have right now.
A combination of solar, wind, wave, tidal, more traditional hydro and geothermal (most of the cost with this is digging the holes. We’ve got a lot of deep old mines that can be repurposed) can easily be built to over capacity and or alongside adequate storage is the best solution in the here and now.
Climate doomerism is the new climate change denial.
You Europeans are something else, man.
Lol because we expect companies to pay people properly rather than expecting customers to top it up.
Tipping is immoral as it allows companies to underpay. Tipping is anti free market as companies should be competing for staff through their remuneration packages.
The thing I’ve never understood about tipping culture in general and especially the American culture around it is why some low paid staff get it and some don’t.
Why do you tip your food delivery driver and not the guy delivering your Amazon package?
Why do you tip your wait staff, but not your supermarket checkout assistant?
It’s double what’s standard to tip for good service.
Tipping is just another way for the corporations to reduce the overhead by having the customer pay the wages of the employee directly, reducing both the budget for salaries and also the reducing ancillary expenses like unemployment insurance and employer wage withholding, occupational privilege tax, etc.
It also makes these jobs falsely competitive against other “unskilled” jobs where tipping isn’t the norm.
I thought yanks were all for the free market, tipping is the oppositeness to this as it negates the free market whereby companies complete with wages and benefits for staff.
So, you’re supporting the unfair system.
Only because you live in a country where they don’t pay people properly.
You yanks are crazy with your attitude to pay.
Even with an insane 20% tip I don’t think you’ve worked it out right. A 20% tip on the food (because why would you tip on a service charge??) comes to 4.09
I think if the issues with russian gas have shown us anything it’s that energy security should be treated as being much more important than it has in the past. So maybe it should come from tax payers money and be thought of as part of a broad national defence strategy.
I’d argue it’s not even that we don’t have a solution.
It’s we need to implement the solution. There’s absolutely tonnes to energy storage solutions ( batteries, storing it as heat, storing it as potential energy) that would work well on grid scale, just need to have their implementation catch up with generation capacity.
It’s almost all if Google chasing a quick buck is the issue.
