The English Blackball Pool Federation, has successfully defended the claim brought against it by the transgender player Harriet Haynes.
The court concluded that pool is a ‘gender-affected activity’ and that excluding males from the female category is necessary to secure fair competition.

We absolutely need universal basic income as a secure floor below which no one can fall and everyone can build from. It should not be normalized for people to seek 2nd, 3rd, and 4th jobs in order to make enough money to survive or have a backup plan in case of unexpected job and income loss.
One feature of the collapse we are living through is that things poorer people have had to do are creeping up the income scale
They can spin it however but struggling to make ends meet with a hodge podge of sortof-jobs is both very normal and very bad

Rising electricity prices have nothing to do with renewables
Electricity prices are elevated, but anyone who claims renewable energy has driven the rise is either uninformed or is deliberately lying.

There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders.
The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it.
This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit.

“There are currently five trans prisoners with male genitalia serving time in E wing of HMP Downview, a women’s prison in Banstead, Surrey.”
Just put them in a men’s prison, if necessary in an annex for vulnerable men, there’s no need for them to be with women.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.
