Intel Not Considering UK Chip Factory After Brexit

Intel not considering UK chip factory after Brexit:

The boss of Intel says the US chipmaker is no longer considering building a factory in the UK because of Brexit.

Pat Gelsinger told the BBC that before the UK left the EU, the country "would have been a site that we would have considered".

[...] Intel wants to boost its output amid a global chip shortage that has hit the supply of cars and other goods.

[...] "I have no idea whether we would have had a superior site from the UK," he said. "But we now have about 70 proposals for sites across Europe from maybe 10 different countries.

UK Public Now Eating Significantly Less Meat

UK public now eating significantly less meat:

[...] The new study, published in the journal the Lancet Planetary Health, revealed that while most people are eating less red and processed meat compared to a decade ago, they are eating more white meat.

High consumption of red and processed meat can increase the risk of health problems including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even certain cancers.

Meat production also has a higher environmental impact - producing more planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions - than other types of agriculture and food production.

    I vote for 9) c0loexit. Cascading reverse causality makes it the cause of all the others.

    Your description of the abortion situation in Texas is dishonest, It's not outlawed, and the law was crafted with evil intent.

        To sue anyone involved with the abortion, apparently, even the Uber driver who got her to the clinic.

        How that law can be legal at all in mindboggling. Civil lawsuits were never intended for interfering in other people's private business. The complainant has not materially lost anything, there's nothing to sue for.

        That SCOTUS hasn't nuked it is a terrible inditement of how messed up the US is.
