So I wasted a good opportunity to say nothing.
edit! Though for general approval in current posts.
As it was in the previous poll!
Also, as somebody who has been working from home for six months, it feels increasingly like i’m existing in a social media type bubble - I know what’s going on (mostly) with those I work most directly with, but already feel like i’m becoming detached from the wider organisation, and what’s going on. Which in the long run will make me much less effective - particularly as i’m the sort of person who regularly gets involved in things outside of my immediate role.There are people with whom I would have had regular contact and who I often assist informally, with whom I have had virtually no contact for months.

You're right to identify issues such as people changing teams, interacting with other departments and integrating new recruits leading to job dissatisfaction and reductions in efficiency.
I'm working to a par of 60/40 in Biden's favour, Trump is IMO a lay below that price.
For me the multiplayer 1v1 was v good. Exploiting the map as it evolves + the unit veterancy dynamic made every fight so important.
You could live pretty much anywhere and be in for one week a month (inc Scotland, France and Spain), but two days a week means you're stuck a couple of hours at best away from the office - and two peak-time train tickets a week isn't much cheaper than a full season ticket over the course of a year.
There does need to be some physical interaction as outlined above, especially as the composition of teams changes over time.
He doesn't extend the furlough scheme he's going to become very unpopular very quickly.
Yes, really.

Second- in 2016, Trump's path to the White House was already pretty narrow. G-string narrow, so to speak. It's fairly clear that there are some voters who have moved Trump to notTrump. Who are the voters who have gone the other way?
Con lead back up to 7%.
Con 43 (+3)
Lab 36 (-2)
How do we explain this given all the Government's problems?
Possibly BLM / Proms related - ie even when people think Boris is incompetent / lazy / hopeless enough people will still vote for him as they support his values and think his heart is in the right place.

But also - frankly - boring.
CoH had some really great missions - trying to hang on in Cataran as you got whittled down and whittled down was fantastic, particularly on the higher difficulty levels.
Gramsci was critical of the two world theory which led to pogroms

Cultural marxism == antisemitic therefore is something the left like to claim without much foundation as far as I can see
"He saw clearly the logical consequence of accepting the Two Worlds thesis and how this thesis can lead
on from an artificial, to a deliberate separation of the races, culminating in
either a ' pogrom ' or the extermination camps:
"
1. What proportion of the workforce is still being paid under the furlough scheme?
2. Is there any indication of targeted support in the pipeline, to help those sectors that are still completely shuttered or incapable of breaking even because of social distancing? (but which might be viable again when conditions improve?)
3. Beyond that, how many of the jobs being supported are effectively already defunct and will disappear whenever furlough is withdrawn - i.e. if Sunak were to volte-face and extend the scheme, how many of those being helped by it would simply be on a stay of execution?
But that would require Rishi to be as terrible a person as Boris, and that seems unlikely.
Surely (barring some extreme cases which maybe should be dealt with separately) any businesses still furloughing simply are failed businesses unlikely to reopen now?
When the f*ck are people going to wake up to this nonsense??

Interestingly in two minutes it doesn't even seem to name Trump, only a couple of images shown in contrast, instead making it positive about Biden instead. I wonder if it will work?
Relentless negativity doesn't work. Hope does work - its the one thread that links Obama, Boris, Dave and Trump is in their own different ways they inspired hope in their supporters - and this seems to be about building hope. I think its good.
I wonder what will happen.
If so, then why not now?
Plus, he may do a better of getting his core vote out. He's proved loyal to his followers, maybe they will be loyal to him.
Remember how Jezza Corbyn, before he became Nasty Jez, was Magic Grandpa?
That might be exactly what America needs right now, and Grandpa Joe could do that, provided the team around him aren't fruitloops.

However,,, with this lot, of course, you more often than not have no idea what they're going to come out with next.
During lockdown that wasn't viable but now lockdown is over it is.
People must get back to work. Furlough and UC can be stopped now
Stop benefits and people will return to work.
It’s only of great utility in preventing spread of infection, though, when it can be followed up by large scale rapid testing.
If we had mass availability of cheap antigen tests capable of results within an hour (and they do now exist), we wouldn’t have to worry about further lockdowns.
I'd let them go bust and spend the government money in training the unemployed for the jobs we'll need as the recession ends, with all the accelerated behavioral changes we've seen this year and those that are coming down the line.
Offering anyone unemployed a tuition fee discount on university admissions and professional training courses, alongside benefits support, will be cheaper than keeping them sat at home unproductive while their employers are dead in the medium term anyway.
If someone has a job and doesn't want it . . .
. . . and if someone else wants a job but doesn't have it . . .
Then I see a very, very simple solution. 🤷🏻♂️
Why do idiots say stupid stuff like that? Why are you sharing it? Is it to shine a light on the stupidity?
She took the opportunity of a massive lead to introduce something that has been on the political too-difficult-list for a couple of decades - but completely screwed up the messaging around it.
With hindsight, social care reform a couple of years ago might have made a substantial difference to the pandemic outcome.
But seriously, is this chap really inviting us to liken his classroom to a rave or something?
Thank you, Bozo.
For once, I agree with you!
They seem to have missed that the forced WFH experiment has been largely successful for those working from home for the last few months.
The determination of the government to try and get people back to commuting is one of their worst authoritarian instincts.
