Investing in American quantum leadership like never before.
President Trump signs executive orders on quantum, supercharging a national effort in innovation in quantum technologies, ensuring national security and continuing American growth in a critical industry. 💻🇺🇸

Absolute panic in Europe. GB News confirms Germany is preparing to ban fighting-age men from leaving the country as they edge toward compulsory military service. France is also launching national service. Western governments are quietly preparing their citizens for WW3.

🚨🇩🇪 GERMAN INDUSTRY IS COLLAPSING.
Bosch is slashing 22,000 jobs in Germany and slowly abandoning its own homeland just to survive.
Germany lost 486,000 jobs in just 3 months, mostly in industry.
The “economic miracle” is dying in real time.

Heppenheim looks like a fairytale tucked into the German countryside.
Timber-framed houses, vineyard hills, old stone streets, and the kind of quiet charm most travelers miss.

Does some people’s brain chemistry cause them to want high-sugar/high-fat foods, or do those foods alter people’s brain chemistry to make them want it? This study, with 49 normal-weight participants (23 in HS/HF group), suggests the latter. cell.com/cell-metabolism/ful…
Bottom line: Don't hold your breath.

In most normal worlds, if you’ve made an absolute holy show of yourself, you go quietly off and hope no one ever mentions you again. But it seems if you’re an ex Tory PM, you resurface almost immediately and strut about as if people want to hear from you again.
We really don’t.

Can anyone get a job as a nurse?

When Government Ministers claim today that we can't afford to give nurses a proper pay rise remember this:
The pay rise nurses are calling for would cost £1.8 billion per year.
Scrapping the non-dom tax avoidance scheme used by the super-rich would raise £3.2 billion per year.
"The Wealth Tax Commission costed a one-off wealth tax. Levied at 1% above an individual’s net wealth of £10m, it would raise about £43bn from 22,000 wealthy people"

In case anyone is wondering why Nadhim Zahawi isn't being prosecuted for tax fraud, it's simply that there is one rule for us and another for everyone else. Hope that clarifies the situation.
These results pretty much leap off the page; massive differences.
