US Scraps Steel Tariff After Remembering Steel Needed To Make Guns
Yep, that's how it goes with the anti-vaxx movement.
Gen 0 - lived with the reality that multiple people they knew died because of viruses and lined up to get vaxxed when they became available. Then went on to get their kids vaxxed because human ingenuity found a way to curb suffering.
Gen 1 - grow up and got their kids vaxxed because, while they might not have seen it first hand, they remember stories from their parents and were horrified. “Thank god we’re found a way to stop it!”
Gen 2 - get their kids vaxxed because they aren't stupid, and it's just become a routine part of raising a child.
Gen 3 - have the luxury of being so far removed from the horrific impact of these preventable virus' that they decide vaccines should be optional because.... "Don't tell me what to do, science nerds"
newsthump.com Leading Tory calls for as many inquiries as it takes for brown people to get the blame
Robert Jenrick, the shadow minister for racism called yesterday for an inquiry.
Robert Jenrick, the shadow minister for racism called yesterday for an inquiry.
He was told that there had already been an inquiry and that the results of the inquiry were available
Mr Kendrick, however, disputed the results of the inquiry, claiming the whole process must be flawed.
“There is no way this inquiry was carried out with rigour and high-standards I would expect because if it had been then it would have found that brown people were to blame.”
However, experts believe that the reason the inquiry didn’t find that brown people were to blame was because that brown people weren’t to blame.
Mr Jenrick disputed that assertion.
“Nonsense. If we had another inquiry then I’m certain that it would find that brown people were to blame and if it didn’t then we should have a further inquiry.”
Frankly, I think the only sensible thing to do is to hold as many inquiries as is necessary before brown people are found to be to blame.

Meh, I'm not so sure. We need to get used to the fact that reddit's fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023. That was a one-off thing that drove out all the OG users. The people left on reddit are the types that refer to it as an "app" and probably don't even know old.reddit exists. Those kinds of people will grumble but they aren't going anywhere. And frankly, that's fine by me.
Edit: lmao okay, okay, Lemmy got 6 new users today. I get it. My point that we're never going to see another user influx on the scale of the summer 2023 API changes has been proven wrong. Congrats everyone. Let's hope half of them actually stick around.

Meh. Only suckers give a shit about the “generosity” of billionaires. Tax them. Tax them down to millionaire status. Why should they dictate what programs get funded? It’s never worked before.. it’s not suddenly going to start now.

We took to chessboards across the country to see how chess pieces were feeling about Musk’s latest order.
“I think it’s about time we leveled the playing field,” said a white knight who happened to be a blood relative to the King. “The other side was just hiring black knights to fill a space. Those guys aren’t nearly as qualified as me when it comes to moving in L-shapes.”
The front row whites also showed excitement for the changes coming to the game. Every pawn we spoke to mentioned the ‘high hopes’ they had for their future on the board.
“This is a win for the little guy,” one white pawn said. “The chances of me making it to the other side and getting a promotion have gone way way way up.

I miss the good old days when reddit admins still pretended to be part of the community. Anybody remember the "when this post is [x hours old] reddit will go down for [xyz]" posts?
