“They’re not necessarily defining ‘wholesome’ the way the Midwesterners traditionally do, but more in the sense of having a positive outlook on life,” Ms. Lamont said. Mr. Luna thinks of wholesomeness as kindness, like giving up a seat for an elder or complimenting a stranger. “I saw a video of a person talking to a homeless man, and they became good friends after a while. There are also oodles of wholesome meme accounts, which Gen Z prefers over the satirical millennial memes of the early 2010s that were coated with dark humor and doused in irony. “Sometimes those ironic and satirical memes are too heavy-handed, and they go into things that, at a certain point, it’s not really a joke anymore,” Mr. Luna said.

“For too long we have been undervalued,” Vivek Trivedi, co-chair of the BMA junior doctors committee, told a crowd of striking doctors Tuesday. It is difficult to compare the salaries of UK junior doctors with those of their international peers, said Lucina Rolewicz, a researcher at Nuffield Trust, a healthcare think-tank. Junior doctors make up nearly 40% of England’s NHS doctors, according to the confederation. But NHS junior doctors have been squeezed for well over a decade, says former radiologist Tania King-Mohammad. “[Junior doctors’] pay is not reflective of their education, dedication and commitment,” King-Mohammad said.

[1/2] Ambulances are parked at the Hollymoor Ambulance Hub of the West Midlands Ambulance Service, operated by the West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, in Birmingham, Britain June 5, 2020. Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said the National Health Service (NHS) would prioritize those with life-threatening needs. "Ambulance workers – and the public – deserve better.

The NHS Confederation, which represents national health service organisations, said the strike risked patient safety.

Nov 9 (Reuters) - North American oil and gas pipeline company TC Energy Corp (TRP.TO) said on Wednesday it was looking to sell C$5 billion ($3.7 billion) worth of assets to repay debt and fund new projects, and reported an 8% rise in quarterly profit. Canada, the world's fourth-largest crude producer, has been seeking ways to boost pipeline utilization following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has strained global oil and natural gas supplies. TC Energy Chief Executive Francois Poirier said the company planned to raise more than C$5 billion through 2023 from selling assets and minority interests. He said the company also intended to approve C$5 billion worth of projects annually throughout the decade. Earnings from TC's Canadian natural gas pipelines rose to C$409 million for the July-September quarter, from C$343 million a year earlier.

In recent weeks, he has frequently posted messages with QAnon references on his social media platform Truth Social. Kaplan said that these ongoing legal issues might make QAnon more appealing to Trump, as he is the "hero of the story of the QAnon conspiracy theory."
