Interesting framing of the data.
I had to triple check which was which in the `BEFORE` and `AFTER` examples, because I can see an awful lot of things that it's made worse.
I'm glad it's not just me. One would hope that `BEFORE` and `AFTER` would imply `WORSE` and `BETTER`, but from their examples they somehow they managed to shoehorn `MEH` in there.
And if they need to explain it... ;-)
Tufte it isn't.

I'm a keen Orion user, and general Kagi user - early adopter since June 2022 (So kool-aid? ;-) )
That said, I have Chrome installed for mandated office work (profile managed by IT ;-( ), Brave for LinkedIn & YouTube... but for everything else I use Orion.

My only gripe is that the favourites bar isn't right-click editable like Chrome or Brave - assume this is down to Webkit. Apart from that, joy to use and develop against.

Warmer = US centric?
I always think that the proliferation of J.A.R.V.I.S.-type projects in the wild is down to the writing in Iron Man, and Paul Bettany's dry delivery. We want dryer, not warmer. More sarcasm, less smarm.

Does Britain have any privatisation success stories? Or any public-private partnership (PPP) success stories?
Does any country have any success stories?
I can’t think of any.
LOL.
Yes, Scottish Water was never privatised, and that's been a great story of success... even if it's only because it's not any of the failed English water companies.
