So the RTA's own modelling showed the Rozelle Interchange would be a traffic disaster—but generating more toll road trips for Transurban was more important. by KarunaX in c/fuck_cars@lemmy.ml

This is the inevitable result of an electoral system that establishes the dominance of two similar parties (a #Uniparty ) allied with permission to accept huge amounts of money to these two parties but no-one else. We can see this with new electoral laws in Victoria, which are now being emulated in Canberra to hamstring Independents and minor parties. https://youtu.be/7FLqYpD6eYw?si=smGlZmiT2fsfuC1r

More than a quarter of people with COVID infection develop Long COVID, new research reveals. by KarunaX in c/auscovid19@a.gup.pe

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 I'm not denying the existence of Long Covid at all, but I must note that of the dozens of people I know who have had Covid, not one has long Covid. If over 1-in-4 people have it, surely one of approx 50 people should have it? Either I know a really skewed sample of people, or that 28% claim is incorrect. PS My sympathies to those who do suffer the sequelae of Covid infection over the long term.

@mozz @immibis Game Theory would suggest exactly this response from Iran if it is interested in maintaining peace into the future.

@immibis @mozz I am not quite as cynical as you regarding the UN. Yes, the do seem to be a Western toy much of the time, but they also have their moments of clarity. It will be interesting to see their response to Israel's complaints.

@mozz Strange. Israel totally ignores the #UN whenever it suits, but then expects them to come running to get #Israel out of a mess it created.
