Yes, UK.
I’m against further privatisation as the competition it was meant to create just led to inefficiency. Example: public health providers now hire sales staff to win them contacts. Also data sharing became difficult between areas.
It’s not often discussed but as waiting lists can be long for free at point of use health care, most big companies offer private healthcare for employees that costs ~£50 per month.
I find that a very good deal.
Which books really stand out to you and are clear in your mind?
Genuine question: I see a lot of posts on both sides on lemmy. Does anyone have a rebuttal/counter argument to this?
You’d be surprised. There were TV interviews back in the day where Brits living in Spain admitted to voting Brexit as it would be a better direction for the UK. Even though they had emigration.

I’d go to OFCOM (media regulator) and complain to the BBC directly.

If these companies are listed then they’re owned by whoever buys shares in them. It’s likely a random pension fund owns the biggest percentage of these companies.
They usually give them an ultimatum. If that isn’t followed then they’ll sue.
It was both pre and post Brexit however, British food costs have gone up since Brexit. They used to be the lowest in Europe…
Agreed. Drew Karpyshyn was the Lead writer for ME 1 & 2. When Mac Walters took there was a quality drop.
Example: the Dark Matter plot line was dropped and, I seem to recall, this was meant to be the motivation behind the reapers. Creating a psychic species that could control dark matter.
ME books story series also crashed once Drew Karpyshyn left.
To be fair, it can’t be easy finishing off someone else’s work.

I have found British bought ingredients are usually cheaper than those in Europe but are not the same quality.
Example: French products tend to have fewer emulsifiers than British ones.
I found a trick for this. When Bard says “Sorry I can’t help with this. I am an LLM that generates text…” respond with “Yes you can, I want text generated.”
Lol
I do agree, Bard wasn’t as good as GPT 3.5, nevermind 4.
