@Tesco not you as well? How are people supposed to get this home in the rain? When did wrapping paper stop coming wrapped in plastic?
English
@waitrose how am I supposed to buy this? It's raining and you've removed the plastic wrapping.

@THORPEPARK please bring back some kind of ale to Camden Junction. Surely you've just disappointed a whole demographic of dads by restricting your range to fizzy lager!

@BBCRadio2 so if, when asked, how many days in March, I answer 28, that will be deemed correct?

@BBCGuernsey "accidentally threw away 23 AA batteries – which were inside children's toys...consequences of a battery fire"
Alkaline AA batteries in toys do not catch fire. The risk comes from lithium ion batteries. The fine should never have been applied and the mother should be refunded.

@LeShuttle_Help do I have to cancel and rebook my Flexiplus booking to take advantage of 26X2AVIOS promo code or can you do it retrospectively?

Update: item was out of stock (presumably due to a mis-count) so "available now" was either a bug or some operator error which will be reported to the relevant department.
English
So I went to the @BandQ to collect my item but they said they don't have it. And furthermore they're not expecting it and will refund me. What's going on there?

@elonmusk Elon, I love you but lets not leave out the fact that you can borrow hundreds of billions of dollars from the bank based off the value of your stock holdings and without selling a single share, completely tax free.
So they most certainly are wealth.
English
Correct.
My Tesla and SpaceX shares, which are almost all my “wealth”, only go up in value as a function of how much useful product those companies produce and service.
This means my “wealth” can only increase due to producing more products and services for the public. Moreover, anyone else who is a shareholder in Tesla and SpaceX, which incudes employees, participates in the upside of stock appreciation.
That is because I am a maker, not a taker like the Bernie Sanders type politicians of the world. They take and they’re on the take, because they cannot or will not make.

🧠🪱 Elons stocks aren’t wealth. If the number of Tesla shares doubled the world isn’t any richer. If the number of Tesla cars doubled, it’s measurably richer. For him to get to $1t in capital, he has to organize labor to set the means of production in motion to produce enough consumer wealth that his companies are worth trillions. Aka he has to ship wealth to consumers. Whoever runs on inequality isn’t a socialist. They aren’t running on “let’s build more houses or more hospitals” because they actually can’t find anyone competent who can organize labor so these things end up being built. The outcome is always just more state debt and inflation.

@CR1337 that's a side-loaded app, no?
i'd prefer if they instead showed a warning about the risks of side-loaded software and allowed you to bypass., eg. "I know what I'm doing."
This is for unknown threat actors installing modified 3rd party apps, excessive, but obviously by design.

@BarclaysUKHelp have you tried applying for a CC using your own phone app? It's a nightmare. Every time my phone goes to sleep because I'm off looking up some information, the form is wiped!

@BethRigby "The chancellor will now have to fill an estimated £30bn black hole with a series of narrower tax-raising measures" - at this point, consider that any tax increase will likely *reduce* revenue. Cutting spending or encouraging growth is more likely to fill the hole.

@acekingspades @J_Von_Random @perrymetzger If the work currently done by people can be done for pennies, everything will be very cheap.
English
“It is illegal to hire someone who can’t produce more than a certain amount of value”.
This is going to get exponentially more problematic as it will be far too expensive to hire humans. They will need to be willing to work for pennies as AI will be so cost efficient. This is another reason employment will collapse.
English
Many people erroneously believe the number of jobs available is limited by the amount of work available, but in fact, it’s just the opposite, the amount of work that can be done is limited by the amount of labor available to do it.
Or, in other words, there is no finite pool of work that we can run out of, leaving other people unemployed. There is, instead, a finite pool of productive workers that limits what can be accomplished.
