I guess once the not safe for EU labels start rolling out, Billingsgate Market will need an E-Coli section for UK consumption only.

#Moderna is quadrupling the cost of #covid #vaccines, from $26/dose to $110-130. CEO Stephane Bancel calls the price hike "consistent with the value" of the #MRNA vaccines. Moderna's costs are $2.85/dose, for a 4,460% markup on every dose:

Now, obviously the manufacturing costs are only part of the cost of making a vaccine: there's also all the high-risk capital that goes into doing the basic research. 3/

900. Nine. Zero. Zero.
In Ontario.
A quick google search indicates over 750,000 people of Indian heritage in the province. It took about 30 secs to find that info.
One would think the Minister of Multiculturalism would have access to the same info I have.

All jokes aside…this is emblematic of the @fordnation govt in so many ways.
We see a minister who is woefully unqualified put in a position simply because of who he’s related to…ineptitude rewarded by nepotism…classic Doug Ford.
Yet this is just the veneer.

It shouldn’t be this hard to pay your bills or buy groceries. The price of essentials like rent, food, and baby formula are breaking records.
At the same time companies are reporting record profits. #bcpoli 1/

Oil and gas companies, grocery chains, telecom companies: they're all profiting while BCers cannot afford the essentials

The role of govt is to protect the public interest.
So today I asked: what is the government doing to protect British Columbians from the corporations who are using them to line their pockets? 3/ #bcpoli

You can't turn around these days without bumping into scary inflation talk, and with reason: asset bubbles, supply chain shocks and energy geopolitics are on their way to wiping out the wage gains eked out by low-waged workers during the pandemic's labor shortage. 1/

The underlying message of this scare-talk is that we've been too generous with "essential workers," by allowing them to inch a little closer to a living wage, and now it's time to roll that back, for their own good. 3/

David is staying at the Reading Pentahotel on 10 days RedList Quarantine...
They are charging him £1750, even though their standard room price is £54 per night (=£650).
Here is the food he is getting.
