They should rebrand to the “Work or Starve” party.

Probably not a good idea, since measles tends to increase risk of something going wrong in the immune system thus triggering autoimmune diseases.

We have drugs that do similar things to measles in the specific sense of wiping out “immune memory” but often in a more targeted, more controlled, and less “random” manner than measles. Like Rituximab or Daratumab that deplete memory B-cells in different ways. They are effective for some subsets of autimmune diseases.

For example Rituximab is the gold standard treatment for Rhematoid Arthritis (RA).

It’s also the party who willingly sent hundreds of thousands of disabled people including children into poverty. So not too off brand either.

The meat industry may have enlisted environmental groups to persuade people to “feel better” about eating beef, despite the sector’s ballooning emissions of climate-heating pollution, according to a public relations strategy document.

The plan, created in 2021 by MHP Group, a London-based communications agency, was addressed to the the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, an umbrella organization comprised of beef-related companies such as restaurant chain McDonald’s and Brazil-based JBS — the world’s largest meat-packer. Other members include powerful American meat lobbies such as the Meat Institute, and nonprofits the Nature Conservancy and the World Wildlife Fund.

The proposal aimed in part at blunting growing public enthusiasm for “opting out of eating beef as alternative options become tastier, cheaper and more accessible,” in favor of seeing “beef [as] a natural and nutritious source of iron and protein” that “is enjoyed by millions.”

MHP Group’s strategy identified policymakers, regulators, investors, and beef industry stakeholders as its primary audiences. Its goals included promoting the Roundtable as “power[ing] progress in sustainable beef” as well as “champion[ing] best practices,” and assuring people that there was “growing momentum in the beef industry to protect and nurture the earth’s natural resources.”

The plan also targeted consumers who “feel ‘guilty’ about eating beef due to environmental and/or health reasons.” Here, the communications goal was “to help them feel better about eating beef (if not every day, then at least occasionally), and to be more aware of the ways in which the industry is protecting the planet and making progress.”

Reminder that the government is spending ridiculous money like this to accommodate the absurd whims of the elite while disabled homeless people are starving to death in droves.

Yes. Every type of bee except honeybees is declining. In part because humans are constantly favouring honeybees.

This is why they should use Aotearoa the indigenous name. Instead of the boring colonial NZ.

Also Japan, India, Malaysia.

Even the UK has covert influence from politics on district drawing tho officially its “independent commission”.

TOKYO: Seventeen heat records were broken in Japan on Monday (Aug 4), the weather agency said, after the country sweltered through its hottest ever June and July.

Heatwaves are becoming more intense and frequent worldwide because of human-caused climate change, scientists say, and Japan is no exception.

The city of Komatsu, in the central region of Ishikawa, saw a new record of 40.3 degrees Celsius on Monday, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said

I hope they make a deal with the greens and manage to not split lefty votes too much.

Thanks. I now realise that the Gothard Base Tunnel was only completed after the book was released. Which explains why it wasn’t mentioned.

Youse have work phones?

I bet indigenous peoples knew about it at certain points.

Interesting. Any particular reason the channel tunnel would last longer than say the Gotthard Base Tunnel?

I guess the gotthard is in the alps so landslides and rockfalls?
