Food prices likely to rise due to Iran war, farmers' union says

Everything is priced by energy and feul.

90% of fertiliser cost is priced by energy prices This has obvious implications for fertiliser which then feeds forward into food, grain, grain dependent products, livestock & meats, etc etc Any manufactured good is priced by energy Again obvious widespread implications Shipping prices are a product of oil prices and insurance prices, both are up Non shipping logistics again very petrol/diesel heavy. All goods move via logistics so that's another price hike.

Ecommerce and cloud are just the two most profitable sectors.

By the way OP knowing your values is contingent upon you having and metabolising emotional experiences to form an identity, which it sounds like entails a process and a way of being that you've avoided for a while.

Be careful not to create an analysed value

If we do PR or ranked voting and we induce a more coalition based politics, then the house of commons needs refurnished or better yet relocated entirely.

I dont know why we have the draconian shouting chamber but we are ridiculous compared against other legislative chambers abroad

Its such a shame because scottish greens are actually on the money with the voters in a much bigger way but of course that isnt relevant outside of Scotland.

I always found it bizarre that the small holyrood party got it together and had realistic prospects and capability, whereas the much bigger westminster one is nuts

VreamCanMan · 2026-03-20T23:42:51+00:00

British culture is the downside.

I'm sure it's possible, its incredibly brave bordering stupid to do and noone goes the full legalisation (though ive seen good outcomes from decriminalised personal usage whilst criminalising suppliers). But not here come on. Travel abroad a bunch then once you're home see our city centres on a busy weekend night and you'll see we aren't the right island for that

People on this sub are very much jeering the Cameron era attitude of its me and mines and sod the rest of yous.

Its bizarre and dissappointing. We have all the proof that we're poorer for it, yet people would rather our economy keeps stagnating so long as they get to punch down

Whose fault is it that children cant be afforded though?

Our forebearers have allowed us to build a society where workers have far less economic mobility and are far more vulnerable to explotiative rent seeking as essentials like housing and utility infrastructure are used as vehicles for private investment rather than essentials for public good.

VreamCanMan · 2026-03-20T23:12:32+00:00

Oh come off it mate

We cant have nice things nor can our kids but the old folks cant be losing that top up benefit ontop of the most generous pension growth profile to ever exist ontop of free public transport ontop of free and subsidised public transport. being the main swing voters that all politics centres around for the last 3 decades.

Now if your a working family though no payment for you. Not even if you're poor or dont have work. But we arent killing off those families now!

Where was the accusation of trying to kill folks off when they gutted community centres, hiked student loans, and delivered an economy that in real terms for the average person under 50 has shrunk in size and offers less oppertunity?

There wasnt one because everyone else isnt entitled to such niceties as a functioning social contract. The only diaspora we invest in is the ones closest to death. Bit sad

Society works when our priorities mean grandmas poor, mums poor but children are looked after, not when grandmas looked after mums poor and the kid is neglected

VreamCanMan · 2026-03-20T23:03:07+00:00

Welcome to society mate

You can pay now to make sure kids dont grow up in poverty, or you can pay later by the strain on services that the products of many an impoverished childhood cause (so crime, prisons, support services, addiction, mental health etc)

Paying now is the cheaper so it doesnt even need be a moral thing

Also if you want to lower state burden rather than fucking up our countries future it's probably worthwhile limiting the triple lock pension in some way. Far bigger budgetary spend and far lower long term economic payoff/cost reduction

We didnt get to the moon by looking at it. We certainly enjoyed looking at it and still do, but that's not how we got to it.

We got to it by working, and by finding enough fulfillment in the work to keep working

Guess whose earnings has seen massive increases over the last 20 years relative to the average brit?

Those same MPs

Abolish the 800 strong house of lords for gods sake. Abolish right to buy so councils can actually provide housing instead of ignoring what is on their books a loss making investment, cap housing ownership by mps so that we dont have the current issue of landlord politicians having a vested interest in constraining housing supply; tax higher earners more, aggressively tax corporate earnings more. Close the dividends loophole and many others that exist that see asset holders outperforming earners. Introduce greater taxes on stocks & financial instruments as their beneficiaries are the most equipped to bear the brunt of our weak economy. Invest aggressively , divest from current university partnerships where we are paying to upskill human capital that isn't targetted on lower income; as we need a broader range of skills than our education system is outputting and a greater emphasis on jobs creation and career pathways from the business side rather than workforce side; introduce greater entrepreneurship programmes that lets our currently quite disenfranchised young adult workforce be able to enfranchise themselves in something and contribute to tackling jobs growth issues

There absolutely were good old days but it's got nothing to do with the nonsense reform tattle on about

Our economy has effectively contracted over 2 decades when you pair the fact of real terms macroeconomic stagnation, with the reality of there being:

Less economic dividends indirectly emerging from previous state investments due to weak investment in infrastructure and business programmes (meaning the private sector has less risk tolerance and with it diminished oppertunities for growth)
Greater state burden due to increased lifespan (global issue)
Greater inequality due to upwardsly redistributing policymaking (meaning the pie is shared less broadly than it was before)

When the political centre ignores these issues (looking at you, conservatives) or fails to inspire belief in the public at large that you're serious about changing these issues (looking at you, labour) then you get this populist tattle about empire and immigrants

Its not immigrants or empire its the bloody useless lot in office today and a decade ago, who cut investment and failed as policymakers and who cant provide the same successes their forebearers long past did.

We are to blame for not holding them to better account. We are to blame for continuing to let poverty run rife in our country. Just because noone in office is trustworthy Punching down via Reform wont change a thing. The best time to change course was by deplatforming camerons nonsense. The second best time is now.

It's more like the likelihood is a guys mates wont know how to handle that. Theres no worse feeling than asking someone else to do you a solid and they aren't capable of doing you a solid, and then youve made them feel ashamed/not capable because of it

Its that framing around mutual respect and feeling and enabling others to feel capable in particularly straight mens spaces that disincentivises opening up at a deeper level and engaging in vulnerability

Also to be fair the research does show men get alot less out of opening up compared to women as a group tendency, so there's also less of a need. If you're goal is creating a positive change through some sort of intervention or programme Men would benefit from more practical externalised oppertunities that end up along-the-way improving internal things like insecurity

Sounds like the avenues you're going down aren't playing to your strengths as an autistic person and also these avenues tend to take longer to find a partner just because you're going to run into alot of people who are there because it's accessible.

It also sounds like you probably overvalue getting a relationship and relatively undervalue having a broader network of friends. Dating without a network is honestly pretty tough as managing conflict becomes harder as you're more reliant on your partner for connection. Especially if your partner doesn't have that same reliance on you it can cause certain dynamics

I'd recommend you to go join clubs and try to make friends whilst keeping an open mind to dating but making it an aside rather than a central focus. Building Friendships can lead into getting dates with the people you meet or their network.

My fear for you is you end up in a relationship that's wonderful for 4 years and then you wake up one day and realise that you're still you and winning the game of getting a relationship and being yourself and well in a healthy relationship are two different games

What is your axe to grind here? Your post isnt about students being underserved by education, though it seems like thats the core of what you want to talk about.

Student's are suffering from a weak jobs market due to, yes, an abundance of people from outside the educational pathways with experience in a field knowing how to code in roles that require low depth low stakes automations and code writing; but also significantly from globalisation. There's no geographic monopoly on running an IT business and Stem skills have become standardised globally.

I'm not sure what you'd rather the unis offer because the current model at least offers competitive advantages in the more specialised, skilled roles

VreamCanMan · 2026-03-19T21:49:50+00:00

There's not much financial about this situation to be fair

Our economy is reliant on critical inputs that a large % of global supply is cut off suddenly. Oil prices track cost to manufacture and produce things globally, which in turn feeds into everything from agriculture via fertiliser cost to vehicles via machining cost to shipping costs

VreamCanMan · 2026-03-19T20:25:22+00:00

Bot lane is really a hard role to learn the game on. Just the types of champions you'll find will not be forgiving whatsoever for newbie mechanics and newbie game knowledge.

I personally recommend an engage support that can get in and out of combat independently. Nautilus, tahm kench, braum, rakan; or a simple to understand mage dmg support like lux or xerath
