Not disagreeing at all, AVgas is nasty, but it's only used by a small portion of planes that are prop driven. Jetfuel is arguably worse, as it's insanely carcinogenic.
While the headline itself isn’t much of a surprise, I’m somewhat bewildered to see diabetes listed among the illnesses. Then again, I know nothing about diabetes.
I’ll tell you that Iive under the flight path of an airport and even though I rarely notice the planes during the day I definitely notice them at 5am when my body wakes up because of the rumbling I can’t even hear.
Tax that shit more. Higher taxation is proven to cause a decline in consumption rate. Along with the added benefit of increasing revenue that can be used for enforcement, prevention, rehabilitation and care.
It's a temporary first world problem. Either aging therapy breakthroughs will kick the can until after we destroy society some other way, or we'll try your Logan's Run thing (except by accident and even stupider than we're imagining)
This bullshit just infuriations me. Nearly every country ALREADY HAS LAWS that prevent minors from buying vapes (and cigarettes, etc.) Just enforce the damn rules rather than turn two pack a day people back to two pack a day people and then have to pay for their cancer treatment.
Enforcement costs money and time which it seems nobody has. A complete ban would be cheaper and easier. I don't even know how you could enforce it. If someone buys a vape that is legal age and gives it to a kid, you can't stop that. I don't have an opinion either way as I quit smoking years ago.
I agree with what you've said about enforcement and also as an ex smoker 🤝
However, I don't agree with total ban of stinkies and vapes, etc(as much as i also would like to) because it will cause a fuck ton of new problems, just look at US alcohol prohibition during 1920s and wow, that was wild (feel free to watch oversimplified video about it, i find it as a good reference material)
Yes, I know about prohibition. It always gets brought up. It would be interesting to see how a ban on vapes/cigs today plays out how prohibition did back then. What lengths would people go to to get their nicotine fix? Or would most people just think it's not worth the time and give it up? Would growing your own tobacco for personal use but a ban of commercial sale mean that only the very dedicated would smoke? I lot of interesting things to consider and thank about.
I think a large and important difference is the ease of back-room manufacturer. Anyone with a boiler can can make some alcohol, but vapes are rather more complicated, no? Cigarettes and other straight up smoking products would still be around, though.
Aren't healthcare costs higher because their last years are so much worse? It's not like you just drop dead right after your healthiest years, you decline gradually and expensively.
Britain’s adult social care sector has been in turmoil for as long as most can remember — soaring numbers of elderly people and chronic underfunding posing a public policy challenge met with a distinct lack of answers by several generations of politicians.
In March, the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee accused the current Conservative government of bringing the care sector “to its knees,” citing severe staffing shortages, rising waiting lists and uncertain finances.
In a statement, East Sussex Council said it has “a number of primary and secondary providers holding contracts for home care provision,” and that it strives to ensure residents “receive the appropriate support as quickly as possible.”
The Nuffield Trust described the party’s pledges as “commendable ambitions” which are “overshadowed by the lack of a costed plan for social care.” The Institute for Fiscal Studies, a respected non-partisan think tank, said Labour had provided “next to no detail on how or when these [reforms] would be implemented, or what final form they would take.”
The warm words echo Boris Johnson’s infamous ambitious but never-enacted 2019 social care plan, leading the party to run straight into the brick wall criticism during the election campaign of “why didn’t you do this before?”
Early on in the election campaign, Davey took part in a breakthrough interview with ITV News where he showcased his life juggling caring and work, tearing up as he spoke about the pressures of his competing roles.
