US Democrats seek to protect their close relatives. I assume that the Aussie version of Democrats do the same. I wish that they would begin killing their own venomous snakes, beginning tonight. There is a bad infestation in Canberra and a few other urban sites. I would like to put in a good word for venomous snakes…they are indeed venomous but they are honest about it. Democrats on the other hand😳 |

She’s ahead of the curve: “households are likely to substitute popular holiday foods with low-cost items. There's even a chance that some might resort to eating bugs and worms. European member states certified house crickets, yellow mealworms, and grasshoppers as food fit to be sold at supermarkets. The bugs will be sold in frozen, dried, and powdered forms and will be packed with nutrients and low-cost, according to Bloomberg. Earlier this month, the World Economic Forum published two articles explaining how people must get used to eating bugs. Those who can no longer afford meat, such as ham or turkey, and other traditional holiday foods will come to find a new substitute.” www.zerohedge.com/commodities/food-inflation-grinch-spoils-christmas-cheer |

I've heard a lot of unsubstantiated statements that people "prefer working from home"; that hasn't been my experience nor that of about half the people I talk to. www.wsj.com/articles/worker-burnout-resignations-pandemic-stress--11640099198"In the first 10 months of this year, America's workers handed in nearly 39 million resignations, the highest number since tracking began in 2000." "For millions of Americans, as commutes disappeared and schedules grew more irregular, the pandemic lengthened days still further. In a survey this year, 16% of U.S. workers said they put in more than 60 hours a week, up from 12% in 2011." "As companies increased their use of collaboration software such as Slack and Microsoft Teams, employees were inundated with pings and chat requests. Between February 2020 and February 2021, time spent in Teams meetings more than doubled, and it has continued to climb, Microsoft data show. Half of people on Teams respond to chats in five minutes or less, Microsoft said, while in the past year after-hours emails rose 10%." "Gallup polling show stress and anxiety levels increased during the Covid era for workers of all stripes. In 2019, 48% of Americans said they experienced a lot of stress the previous day, according to Gallup. By December 2020, that figure was 51% for on-site workers and 59% for remote workers. Burned-out employees are 63% more likely to take a sick day, and nearly three times as likely to be actively seeking a different job, Gallup research showed."
I grant correlation is not causation and there's a lot of factors in play here, but for once we've got some data and the general trend is clear - working remotely is probably better for some people, but that isn't the norm.

They broke that mold after King Arthur. He was and is the flour of the aristocracy. The tribal warrior king whose rise and fate was bound to that of the tribe or extended clan. Imagine any American leader since Washington in that role (Perhaps Jackson, Grant or Teddy R). Now imagine Brandon (even a younger one) at Badon Hill. They send their thralls for such things.
