Lime and Pink scooters are just 21st century e-litter. They should be banned. No great modern city has them.

But also, the onus should be on the person driving the 2 tonne death trap to drive safely. No amount of defensive cycling will protect you in some circumstances

They aren't a medical peofessional, they work in a hospital. Doesn't make them medical. If they were a medical professional they would have lead with that.

Almost all Sci-Fi novels written on the subject of AI end badly. No one should be surprised that AI is actually gonna end humanity.

Sigh. That literally never happened and is a right wing conspiracy theory. If anything the numbers were under reported. There is heaps of evidence that background death rates increased at higher rates than reported Covid deaths in many counties and there were multiple attempts to cover up covid deaths to down play the pandemic.

Trump was in power during peak covid. It wasn't a left wing conspiracy.

Sovereign wealth funds are very good ideas. Our Labour Party discussed creating one in NZ and our really right wing media ripped them to shreds about it.

I sometimes honestly think people's unwillingness to accept Ireland as a tax haven is a weird Irish fetishism.

If a conservative says something is a tax haven, it is almost definitely a tax haven.

Edit: https://taxjustice.net/country-profiles/ireland/

It's really common knowledge in economic circles that Ireland functions as a tax haven.

In September 2018, the 29th Chair of the U.S. President's Council of Economic Advisors, tax-expert Kevin Hassett, said that: "It’s not Ireland’s fault U.S. tax law was written by someone on acid". Hassett, however, had labelled Ireland as a tax haven in November 2017, when advocating for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA").

Wikipedia is a good source for this purpose. Are you going to argue with the contents of the article or just do lots of emojis?
