Sorry but Signal is just not a "better app". Yes, it has privacy and such, but the app itself is worse. I'm not even talking about missing features like not having chat backups, but the UI itself is slow and unpolished. - scr

Depends on what you consider "real work". I would say 99% of business analysts in any enterprise level company do real work 1% of the time. The rest is filled with bulshitting, talking, harassing others or actively looking through

Of course, in the USA exporting vaccines to other countries is simply not allowed, and if they want to sell, they need to sell it to the US government. The same applies to UK. The fact that EU is the only western entity that produces vaccin

AZ ban game in EU has more to do with the internal politics than with the medical argumentation. For many of the corrupt governments it's easier to say "we don't vaccinate because AZ is not safe" that the cold truth &quo
