Shingrix vaccination is not covered here by government's vaccination program, because it is determined to have excessive price and bad availability, but public hospitals give it free to high risk patients because even though Shingrix's is expensive they have determined that it is cheaper to vaccinate people than take care of them after shingles onsets. Private health insurance cover cost of all vaccinations outside of government vaccination program (for example yearly influenza vaccinations)

Funny thing is that Armenia gets more support from allies of its enemy's ally than its own allies. EDIT: Because keeping Turkey happy is more important for allies of Armenia than it is for Turkey's allies.

Russia? Belarus? Kazakhstan? Kyrgyzstan? Tajikistan? Union State? Or why does not Azerbaijan's aggression towards Armenia trigger CTSO's Article 4 of the Collective Security Treaty (CST) which establishes that an aggression against one signatory would be perceived as an aggression against all

I am sure that Armenia has been very happy be part of security organization that has given it next to nothing assistance when it has been under attack of its neighboring country and lost some of its territories

But you need to understand that (Is there right wing violence? yes) True == (Is there left wing violence? yes) True so it is equally bad in both sides!!!!!!!

What does their elections not free and fair if you compare them to twitter poll that was run unannounced for couple hours and closed before original deadline? Where no one checked if people voted with multiple accounts and did bot accounts (which Musk himself says run rampant in Twitter). As you such poll was example of democracy where result is the only reason why people don't like it. So is your reason why you think that Russia's Iran's and NK's elections aren't free and fair that you don't like outcomes? I would remind that people running bot farms in Russia, Iran and NK were able to participate in Musk's poll, to give it that extra freedom of letting government supported trolls have their voice heard.

Here elections are null and void if less than 50% of people vote. Do you think that Russia, Iran and North Korea have democratic and fair elections as they do have elections where people get to vote and person with most votes wins the election? And do you think that Russian referendums on areas that it conquered from Ukraine were fair and democratic and showed real will of people when result that they want to join Russia was option that got most votes?

It is not will of people if less than 10% of people entitled to vote, cast their vote. It is mockery of democracy, but Musk owns Twitter and therefore is it's dictator and is entitled to rule his platform anyway he chooses. But anyone who says that such polls are will of people and some how protecting freedom of speech are just lying themselves or just hate democracy and want to distort meaning of freedom of speech for some reason. But as Twitter is spiralling down of its own destruction because it is losing assets that made it popular in first place

Even FIFA starts to have doubts when their biggest sponsors are banned from the games and they are losing money in television deals and tickets sales are anything but good. But maybe Qatar is able to compensate FIFA's losses, who knows.

Court of arbitration decided today that Gazprom broke it contracts when it demanded payments in rubles and stopped delivering gas. Which could mean that Gazprom needs to pay hundreds of billions of euros compensations to gas companies around Europe.

Considering that if Russia fired it they would have fired it from Belarus or Black Sea, so statement that it wasn't fired from Russia is true almost every possible scenario

Russia has started to use high velocity anti ship missiles because Ukraine's air defense can't intercept them because their anti air missiles don't have enough speed to hit one, even though they aren't accurate against land targets. And as stock of Russian high speed cruise missiles get thinner and Ukraine does not have air force or missiles which Russia needs high speed air defense missiles to defend against it would not be surprise if they have decided to use those missiles to bombard Ukraine as even though they are less accurate they still be more effective than lower speed missiles as Ukraine is not able to shoot them down

They can be used but they suffer from poor accuracy which is why they are used even less often than shorter range variants. Edit: none of the S-300 variants have designed to be used primarily against ground targets. But all of them are technically cabale to target ground targets

S-300VM had range of 200-250km and S-300 has range of 400km. Most of Ukraine's S-300 are either S-300V variant which has range of 85km or S-300P which had 75km range

In 2021 Twitter made 5 billion dollars of ad revenue in couple weeks Elon has succeed to drop it less than billion dollars. So cutting jobs could have been necessary to make Twitter profitable (as it made 200 million dollars loss 2021), but way Elon did it doesn't seem to be best way. But of course he may be able to convince advertiser come back, although some of biggest advertisers have declared that they will not advertise in Twitter or use Twitter ever after Twitter Blue impersonators were able to crash their stock price with fake announcements. So Elon may have difficult time ahead. But he already made SpaceX buy ads from Twitter with hefty sum, so he at least I'd able to fund Twitter with his other companies, although their other owners may not like such actions.

Invasions need resources, which Russia seems to lack currently and building said resources under heavy economical sanctions isn't that easy when your industry heavily relies on imports. But after tomorrow there is high likely hood that US help to Ukraine will decrease lot, as Republicans with candidates that either support Russia or are against helping Ukraine will most likely take control over the senate.

Here is non-computer translated English version https://news.yahoo.com/butusov-says-russian-claims-ukraine-170400235.html It seem that attack occurred in August. Ukraine was able to do successful counter offensive in Kharkiv after the breach, so it maybe that Ukraine's surprise re planning of their counter offence was because of this data breach. Russia seems to have published data about their attack just to spread doubt in Ukraine troops and increase morale of their own troops

In Finland universities are free for Finnish and EU/ETA decree students. Universities started to collect tuition from students outside of EU/ETA in 2017. If you have not enrolled in university you can still study university course through so called Open University, but then courses cost 15€/study point (26.67h worth of estimated work) It depends on company, usually they want representative in company board because of strategic significance of company. In not so strategically important companies they just own stocks through investment funds, to increase state income. For example state owns over 50% of shares in Finland's largest energy company Fortum, and closer to 40% in Finland's largest fuel company Neste, to ensure that they are able to give their opinions how those companies operate. State also owns big share of Finnish postal company Posti and Finland's largest railway company VR. EU rules put limits on what companies states can fully own and control, which is why Finland privatized most of state owned companies in 1990s when it seek membership in EU. Pension companies in Finland are mostly private mutual insurance companies (so they are owned by their customers)

All of the universities are private, which get state funding equal to private capital they are able to rise. In past it was depend on how many people graduated from university in year. Finland is capitalist, where even fundamental services like electric grid and postal service are privately owned. State only owns percentage of stocks in several companies, but can't directly control even companies which it owns majority of shares. Although cities own several companies which they have direct control over. And cities fund public health care and schools. Although in end of this year public health moves to be funded by state. Police is state funded, as is military and border guard.

Charges are to be brought at the San Francisco county jail, including attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, burglary and other felonies. It was reported by CNN that the suspect intended to tie the victim up “until Nancy got home” and that he had posted rightwing and conspiracy theories online, including content promoting the lie that Donald Trump was deprived of victory in the 2020 election because of voter fraud. ...

Considering that platforms are private businesses so they can't themselves hinder freedom of speech as freedom of speech is concept where government right to limit people's speech has been limited by constitution. It is private business freedom of speech to moderate their platform as they see fit, platform users don't have freedom of speech rights against private platform owners, they only have obligation to follow platform's terms of service.

They are idle because they get more money in future, because there are limited capacity to serve them, which is why gas buyers are able to pick sellers who sell gas in lower price just to get their ship free to other deliveries. But some sellers sell their gas to future markets even though it is already in ship close to LNG terminal where they will deliver it, because they have calculated that they will make more profit that way. So limited LNG terminal capacity has caused situation on gas market where there are more supply than demand and sellers are looking ways to ensure that they don't need to dumb (as spot prices went below zero1 ) their gas just to free their ships for more profitable shipments by making their ships as floating storages waiting months where there are much more demand because energy companies are willing to pay more (126% more than last October, so about 240€/MWh) for guarantee that they will not run out of gas during winter months. 1.

Stored gas is constantly used so there are constantly room for that amount gas that was used. But LNG ports have limited capacity to serve ships which has lead to situation where there are ships which contents are sold to be used in January and February next year because price was higher on future market than it is currently in exchange. So companies decided that their ships will act as storage and idle in ports until is is time to unload their tanks instead of competing of limited LNG port capacity

And prices on future markets are higher than current prices, meaning that it is in some cases more profitable to sell gas for January and let ship idle near harbor
