@OnlyTheFacts111 @aedison I went to HIGH SCHOOL in Lancashire, my school was literally X High School and people would say high school and secondary school interchangeably. Either way, what a weird thing to be so hostile about

funny that there are two full episodes of adolescence that basically don’t exist. they made two good ones, a really compelling procedural and a thrilling character study, and then an hour each of “british schools are unfit for purpose” and “man’s bleakest year ever gets bleaker”

Eyeglasses aren’t opioids. There’s no reason we should need to see an optometrist to buy glasses. You don’t in the rest of the world, and you didn’t in the US either until optometrists lobbied aggressively under the banner of “public safety.” For decades, opticians, trained with just a few weeks of coursework, tested vision and sold glasses directly, just like they still do in Europe, Asia, and most of the world. Outside the US, vision correction (opticians) is kept separate from medical eye care (ophthalmology). In the US, we created the field of optometry and then they lobbied hard to take over vision correction because there is more money in selling glasses than in doing medical tests. By the 1970s, every state required prescriptions, shutting out opticians and cementing an optometrist monopoly. The result: in Europe you can walk into a shop, get tested, and leave with glasses for about $50 all-in. In the US, you are forced into a $200 exam and $300 frames. What should be simple and cheap has been turned into a racket, and consumers pay the price. Much like barber licensing (some states require 2,000 hours of training just to braid hair), this kind of gatekeeping drives up costs without protecting consumers. Vision correction should be cheap and accessible, not locked behind a monopoly!

My next pet project will be to liberalize state eyeglass prescription laws because getting an exam every year is a pain in the butt and I didn't realize most other states have longer durations.

@virginmedia @nieuwenhui2 VERY liberal use of the term "from time to time" there lol. Over a MONTH of no TV from the TV company 💀 Customers in the area are still paying, so where's that money going? Might be a nice idea to use it to pay some engineers to fix the issue!

This is getting out of hand, @virginmedia …WTAF is going on? Now without proper TV for a month! And these bland messages only make it worse. How about an actual explanation for a change?

The Madleen, a UK-flagged aid ship heading to break the illegal siege on Gaza, has been threatened by the Israeli government. @GretaThunberg, @RimaHas & others are on board. The UK must act: defend the ship & crew or remain complicit in Israel’s blockade, aggression & genocide.

If I chose to buy a new car each year for 15k, no one would bat an eyelid. Because I choose to spend it in fees because I don't want the council telling me where my child will go to school, some people insult me for it 🤷🏼‍♀️

My husband and I didn't have children until we were 38,so we'd be at a stage in our careers where we could afford ind. school fees.There was no luck or privilege involved. It was a plan that we worked hard for, because we thought we lived in a country where hard work/plans=choice

@alexarmstrong Explain how... if by tourist tax you mean higher prices in cities frequently visited by tourists then London matches that quite comfortably. Apart from that I never had to pay a tax for turning up.

Why don’t we introduce a tourist tax for the UK? In 2023 we welcomed 38 million tourists. If they all paid £30 we would generate £1.14 billion in revenue. This is common practise in the EU and hundreds of places over the world.
