As Trump won the popular vote, it is an anti democracy agenda.

I am proud to announce the formation in the UK of the “Nowhere Near as Clever as We Think We are, Party” (NNACAWTWAP)
We hope to bring in politicians who, self evidently to everyone else except themselves, have been promoted far beyond their levels of competence or experience.
The first members to be appointed are the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Climate Maestro Ed Miliband and Chancellor Rachel Reeves as they are so ideally suited to the objectives of the party. At our first AGM, top of the agenda will be a discussion on whether Politicians should automatically become members but provide a mechanism for them to opt out, in the unlikely event they can prove their competence or expertise.
I am sure there are no politicians in Oz who could fit happily into NNACAWTWAP so our international expansion may need to be restricted to the very fertile grounds of the EU.

Vivian rightly wondered whether this was a PCR carpet bombing or there was a specific reason for testing. The two are not the same. One thing is having symptoms and a heavy viral load and another an incidental finding in someone up to his/her eyebrows in chicken whatnot. Peter W put it even more succinctly.
“Thank you for your sample. What would you like us to find in it?”

I was discussing Melbourne’s forthcomin Heatwave with Chatgpt, and chat doesn’t have access to BOM data. Can anyone point to where Chatgpt can get this Data?

Boxcar,
If stuck, you could always ask the Australian “Climate Change/Energy” Minister.
Similar to Chatgpt, Our Australian CC/Energy Minister also has artificial intelligence.
And if you read his press releases… You will find he knows all the answers.
