  • The Coca Cola company tried to corner carbonated milk with Vio, stylized "V!O". Irrational and mercurial American consumers hated it. The Shin family Chaebol found success in the sector with "Lotte Milkis", eventually expanding into America.

    I wonder if we can get the don't-eat-the-bugs guys to think George Soros wants to sap the energy from their bones with fizzy milk.

  • So, they were "surprised" not to find a slowdown toward the end of observation period, for obvious reasons of the ongoing pandemic linked to dementia presentation and progression. They have some explanation for this about the long onset, but just demographically, isn't it also likely that killing off many of the people most likely to get a dementia diagnosis made a difference? I feel like they missed that thread.

  • really curious what type of person will fall for the bargain "what if we give you extra rights tied to your job, then take away your normal rights when you get sacked!" I imagine the most strident defenders won't be the ones covered under this; anyone concerned about the working class as a whole won't be impressed compared to the cuts from this government. I was gonna say maybe a few craven trade-unionists would get on board, but the only one quoted is a Labour peer and even he's not impressed.

    so I'm wondering who really digs hearing about it, the target audience. in the US, part of the pipeline to the right for young people has been a hollowed-out appreciation for the aesthetics of organizing, post-Bernie 2016. would play great with them. but I don't know any analogous target audiences in the UK?

  • See, some things aren't proper secrets, but when acknowledging them is made taboo, we must act as if they've been uncovered. We'll treat the ostensibly open and accessible science around linearly increasing Long COVID risk this way someday, when the taboo against acknowledging it degrades. More often than not, when the exposé revealing details of an open secret comes out like this, it's because someone involved feels the need to brag.

  • I'm not surprised by the effort, but I am surprised that this is technically allowed. You'd think the Dems would have just made the CIA director Speaker or Senate VP instead of doing it through Nancy and Schumer. Must be an optics thing.
