Several people here have mentioned the genocide in Palestine, which I accept is a major issue and one no one should be dismissive of. Biden himself acknowledged the validity of the issue in his speech to the DNC.

I honestly find Biden’s decision to keep spending so much money arming Israel baffling, but there is at least some chance Harris will change that policy.

But if Harris doesn’t win the White House, Trump’s policies will intensify the perescution of the Palestinians and also lead to pogroms, if not actual genocide, in the US and elsewhere.

I agree this is not a happy choice to have to make. But it’s also quite clear which is the right choice.

Tear it all down and start fresh or GTFO.

Okay.

Now what?

Part of me still reads it as ‘slur punk’, which sounds appalling.

I think the simplest has got to be: get a bicycle.

I used to have a FP2 and currently have an FP3.

They’re basically mid-market phones spec-wise, but at a higher price point. I’m personally happy with that, but fair warning: it doesn’t perform like other phones at the same price point!

I always thought that laundry was the best example of this.

Poor people go to the laundrette, which is expensive over time and time-consuming.

Less poor people buy cheap washing machines which are expensive to run and break sooner.

Rich people buy highly efficient washing machines which are cheaper to run and last for years.

And on top of that poor people buy cheaper clothes, which wear out sooner (as with the boots example) and dry their clothes indoors on hangers which, again, takes longer and also creates damp, unpleasant living conditions!

EDIT: Typos.
