    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Can't see the price of things going down if Trump somehow managed zero immigration, although history suggests he won't, and implements huge tariffs pushing for things sold in America to be manufactured in America. Quick Google suggests an American made iPhone would see the cost rise from...

    But surely there's a problem if people are voting because they say they are worse off than 4 years ago when the facts show the opposite is true. There was a group of Trump supporters interviewed at one of his rallies. They worked in agri and the interviewer pointed out that Trumps agri policies...

    Does the data actually back that up though? Not looked in depth but the few things I have seen show that most metrics have improved under Biden. If that's not correct then fair enough but if its true how do you get around the issue of people voting based on vibes rather than facts?

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Seeing a decent number of comments regarding the fact that under the constitution its the current vice president who, acting as president of the Senate, is the person who has to declare the result of a presidential election. Don't think there will be an issue if Harris loses, other than the...

    Is that a realistic example? Seems like they've picked through it to find a worse case scenario. Is there a huge number of employees with undergraduate & postgraduate degrees & loans on 60K with an imminent 33% pay increase? Quick look on salary calculator, which says its been updated post...

    He said yesterday he has a massive lead which obviously isn't what the polls are showing. Pretty clear they're already lining up the 'it was fixed' story in case he loses.

    There's also entire industries that now count a large percentage of their workforce as unpaid interns. Saw it when I worked in the music industry. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people a year graduating with music management, event management, media studies etc degrees when there's only a...

    Fences up around the White House and business boarding up their premises. Once again the sort of thing we used to mock when it was happening in a third world country is now an accepted part of a 'functioning' democracy

    The top end certainly is but you're not going to convince me that people who are doing courses where they only have to attend for 4 or 5 hours a week are getting a world class education. Further education has become a business and like any business they had the ups where thousands of people...

    Who is paying for this conversion? There's a reason developers are so keen on student accommodation, cheaper to built poor quality housing and they know they'll get a return in a shorter amount of time. They will then abandon it before a shit ton of work is needed. When I lived in Portsmouth...

    Irrespective of whose fault it is we've dug a hole we can't get out of easily. There's 2.2m students attending university and 240K staff. If you cut things back to just degrees that are needed by various employment sectors what do you do with all the people that no longer have jobs or...

    At this point it would be only be news if they'd stuck to something they'd promised. All very much same shit different day so far. They even got a bollocking from the speaker today for announcing policy in the media before parliament. Something we all complained about the previous government...
