    What I find very surprising is the lack of house insulation requirements in many places in the US... Temperatures vary by about 70°c over here so our houses are well insulated for winter but it's also advantageous for hot summer days so you would believe in the warmer parts of the USA they would want to insulate their house so AC isn't wasted and it would also help for the few cold days they get every year... You just need a couple of space heaters just in case and you're good to keep a couple of rooms warm enough that it's not much of an issue when that happens...

    I know it's not the point of this post but holy cow is that an atrocious AI image.

    CubitOom ,

    Reminds me of Mafia! (1998) where the guy is squeezing the oil out of olives by hand.

    puchaczyk ,

    They use a fake image in the article about fake olive oil. Ironic.

    Diplomjodler , in Why is UK being hit by medicine supply shortages?

    Where there are certainly country specific reasons, the overall train is that production had been outsourced to the lowest bidder, which is India in most cases. This means less resilient supply chains and less reliable supply.

    In the US, this is supposed to be legit: https://www.californiaoliveranch.com/products/100-california-everyday/41079566074040

    Answer from the article : "simple analysis can unmask the fraud. Like the fatty acids composition test, or the sterol composition, as well as the spectrophotometric constants"

    Oh. OK. Easy. Next time at the grocery store I will check that.

    Mr_Blott , in Austrians happiest in EU, while Germans grow glummer

    It's because of all the kangaroos innit. They're adorable 🥰

    There are no kangaroos in Austria. You probably meant Australia, which is not part of EU.

    Mr_Blott ,

    Yes, yes I did. Well spotted, you must be very astute

    awwwyissss ,

    They might be a couple prawns short of a barbie

    Mr_Blott ,

    A couple prawns? Like husband and wife prawns?

    I think you'll find that Austrians speak the king's English, you need an "of" in there

    Papercrane ,

    Wooosh

    countsickness ,

    In Austria there are no kangaroos. Only Mozart, Music and Muhlikuhs.

    (Shamelessly stolen from some tshirt in Austria…)

    Mr_Blott ,

    I wondered why someone downvoted you then realised some folk are probably stupid enough to think "muhlikuh" is an Arabic word and you were being offensive 😂

    countsickness ,

    I guess it works better with a cute comic cow underneath it :)
    Well… lesson learned.

    How isn't this news

    Vilian ,

    i guess his conplain is that wasn't "global" news

    Lmaydev ,

    Dunno USA and Israel are pretty far apart

    casmael ,

    Also both on the globe checkmate

    r_13 ,

    It absolutely is global news. Does the United States care about the human rights record of supported nation states? And if not, why should the rest of us?

    perhaps game theory at play… they may realise that their lives would be better than what they pay in tax if all of them paid more tax, but they aren’t going to be the only ones to do it so they want it to be law

    or it could just be PR bullshit and they relentlessly lobby for the reverse and pay more than what they’d pay in tax behind the scenes

    Mr_Blott ,

    The "billionaire finds way to profit from taxes" one

    chanokin ,

    I think they forgot the "we dare you" part of the speech

    WhatAmLemmy ,

    This is just a virtue signal. They know politicians won't do it, because they own the majority of them.

    It's like the carbon tax that fossil fuel corps promoted while they knew they owned enough politicians for a carbon tax to never pass.

    inclementimmigrant ,

    Same timeline we've always been in.

    The small handful of rich people who ask for economic justice and mostly live by it, mixed in with those who just want to virtue signal while doing the same shady shit of legal bribery to keep the status quo that make a public statement knowing full well that it will never get done because of the legal bribery from the regular rich people and virtue signalling rich people.
