Thus demonstrating that if your economy is faltering it is better to inject money for the poorest to spend (getting it into circulation immediately) than to give tax cuts to megacorps to pretend that the value will trickle down into the economy.

Reply to A woman who got wasted at a Marilyn Manson concert blew up $15 million worth of property. She's suing the company that served her. by end_of_rainbow
Funny thing, if the bar had continued to serve her and then she drove home, it is almost possible that they'd have a case. As it is, they cut her off and acted (semi) responsibly. If this case doesn't get immediately dismissed it'll spell some tough times ahead for the US hospitality industry

Any state institution that allows unauthorised installation of software on their computers should have a long hard look at themselves. Lock that shit down before the next ransomware hit or data breach.

Reply to TIL that according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term "grandfather clock" originated from the popular song "My Grandfather's Clock", written in 1876 by American composer Henry Clay Work. by jvsrvs
Henry Clay Work, though rarely credited, was also the inventor of pottery - his name lives on in the art.

If your choices are limited to between the ongoing train wreck that has been the Tories for the last, idk feels like forever, and Corbyn, you have some serious problems. FFS! Surely out of 67m people they can find a bunch that are moderately balanced somewhere between all consuming selfish greed and batshit crazy unworkable fantasy?

No. But i am talking about the other end of the cycle. At this point we need the tooth fairy to stop paying for teeth and start charging for her services...
