It's a very special Secret called Illiteracy.

They have nukes too. It's sickening that the USA, UK, Germany, Canada, etc. are pouring money and weapons into a regime of actively genocidal fascists with nukes, and fighting anyone who questions this.

Jeremy Corbyn was the best thing to happen to Labour in a long time, but the Blairy types all panicked when faced with actual policies to benefit poor people.

The problem is that USB flash drives don't keep their data intact for very long when they're powered down. It lasts long enough for everyday use, but not even as long as a hard disk for archival.

USB sticks and SSDs are no good for long-term storage. The data on them degrades rapidly if they're not powered up. Spinning disks last longer. So your process would be better done with those.

Huh? USB is a connector, not an archival format.

It's a shame their capacity lags so far behind current hard drives. And not many drives for these discs are still made, so what are the chances of them becoming unreadable just because no one has equipment to read them?

In the short term. In the long term they'll be better off. But apparently the long term doesn't matter to them when there are short-term gains to be had.

Doesn't sound like that's his plan:

So, hear me when I say this: no more money without reform.

Sounds like he wants to change the NHS's priorities before making any new investment.

Yes, has anyone considered taxing corporations and the rich?

These people can't imagine shame.
