On a serious note though. The Man City board of directors should be disqualified, the business should be made insolvent and for a period of 2-15 years they cannot run another business in the UK. That’s the law under the Company Directors Act 1986. The punishments have to be just.

They took away Medicaid from my 82 year old mom. They don't answer the phone and when she showed up in person, they refused to talk to her and told her to go home and call them. She got her low income senior housing because she qualified for Medicaid.

Letitia Chitty (d. #OTD in 1982) was a pioneering British structural engineer & mathematician. A master of stress analysis, she spent her career mathematically determining the "breaking points" of complex structures, ranging from #WWI combat aircraft to major international dams. #WomenInSTEM
A monochromatic sepia-toned photograph of British structural engineer and mathematician Letitia Chitty (July 15, 1897 – September 29, 1982), a premier pioneer of 20th-century stress analysis. Positioned in a front-facing, head-and-shoulders composition, she looks directly at the camera with a sober, neutral expression and tight lips. Her dark hair is parted neatly down the center and pulled back into a simple bun. She is dressed in a dark blazer or coat layered over a high-collared, patterned blouse or knit sweater visible at the neckline. The background consists of soft, textured drapery in warm, out-of-focus sepia tones. The tight framing captures her sharp, determined demeanor, evoking a serious and intellectually focused mood. The vintage composition highlights her immense historical significance as the first woman to graduate with first-class honors in Cambridge’s Mechanical Sciences Tripos.

This mindset is the least we deserve from a leader. Of course it has to be turned into action. But this kind of ambition and love for the country, this kind of personal but positive vision is what takes people with you. How feeble-minded Farage and Badenoch seem. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Photo of Burnham waving to the audience in front of HOPE AGAIN backdrop Burnham was not going to die wondering. He knew he might be delivering one of the longest suicide notes in history, but he did it anyway. Because he couldn't not do it. Better to go down remaining true to his principles than being slowly airbrushed out of history like the previous six prime ministers. Failures all. Andy was prepared to burn through all his political capital right there in Liverpool, right then. Not just for his own legacy but for a country he wanted to rebuild. It was the only way he could look himself in the mirror.
Honour his parents.
