Luckily the writer of the article understands that there is more to it than attracting 'the best' workers:

This week alone, US companies have taken over two UK tech businesses, and Mr Kassai doesn't seem surprised.

"Shareholders, investors, board members are going to find the highest bidder and the US tends to pay more," he said.

"There's four times as much capital invested into startup companies than there is in the whole of Europe, so naturally when it comes through a sale, the US is often able to pay a higher price."

A lot of advertising is annoying and misleading, even good advertising can lead to people buying stuff they don't need. I am definitely not pro-advertising but it does serve more than monopolistic capitalism, especially on a more local level.

I 100% agree and totally get why I am being downvoted, but just disabling advertising or banning tracking cookies are not a magic fix to save the internet from the perspective of the companies that now show these ads. But I am definitely I favour of changes, the enshittication went way to far already. But there is more than big social media platforms is what I mean to say.

First and last paragraph:

ROME — An Italian referendum on granting faster citizenship to certain immigrants and seeking to strengthen labor rights failed because of low turnout, after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and leading right-wing political parties urged Italians to boycott the democratic process.

Between 1974 and 1995, eight of nine referendums reached the quorum for voter participation. But since then, according to the Italian newspaper Il Post, only four of 34 referendums have had enough voters to be valid.

You can only legally take someone into custody if you have jurisdiction there. You could argue whether they do or do not have jurisdiction in the waters that Palastine claims but they were not even there, they were in international waters. That is kidnapping.

Certainly must be something wrong with you, since nowhere on this thread is there anyone supporting Hamas??

Hinckley isn't even mentioned in the article, the major plant they refer to is Sizewell B.

No new nuclear plant has been opened in the U.K. since Sizewell B in 1995.
