Perhaps you could ask him if Trump was right when he encouraged people to get the COVID vaccine.
If not, why not.
What's the difference between that and the vaccines he wants to restrict access to?

I assumed everyone did ..
The replies seem to dispute this.

I’ll soon be available for game design, creative direction, and consultancy opportunities while I develop my own projects. I’m also open to paid speaking engagements if you know of any!
If you’d be willing to share/repost this, or just send a kind word, I’d truly appreciate it. Thank you! ♥

But making sure operators don't just do the profitable routes and leave the others to rot is a problem any time you try and turn a public service into a business.

Well... Yeah.
Hence the many caveats.
In general if you have to prioritise a train for whatever reason it makes sense to prioritise the expensive trains full of lots of people.

Though, the older model of delay attribution did tend to over emphasise being on time at the final terminus over other stops.
Fine for an express service but a bit silly for a local stopper.
This was improved a bit for the Wales franchise. But then COVID broke everything anyway.

This is true (with many caveats) but it's also working as intended.
So it's really more like the system is set up to game the operators.

Conversely I worked for the project that modified the rules so that it was as straightforward as possible to claim delay repay and to make sure TOCs couldn't impose arbitrary barriers.

Mixed Dried Fruit:
Morrisons
Tesco
Asda
Dried Mixed Fruit:
Sainsbury's
Lidl
Aldi
Cowards who chose neither:
Waitrose

That's certainly my position.
Both Morrisons and Tesco disagree.

And yet there is no agreement on "Mixed Dried Fruit" vs "Dried Mixed Fruit."
I would argue that the fruit is dried before it is mixed. So MDF is correct. The supermarket does not agree.

Phone cameras can see a bit of IR that humans can't...
So if you run a ghost tour maybe you could set up a little IR lamp with ghost silhouettes so that spooky ghosts show up in people's photos.

Would you like to rake up a moon?
Carry moon rakes home with a spoon?
And be better off than a loon?
Or would you rather be a Bond?
