The Guardian

That is pretty much all democracies.

this group, called the “technocracy movement”, was a group of 1930s nonconformists with big ideas about how to rearrange US society.

They proposed a vision that would get rid of waste and make North America highly productive by using technology and science. Advocates argued that traditional economic systems such as capitalism and socialism were inefficient and prone to corruption, but that a scientifically planned economy could ensure abundance, stability and fairness.

The Technocrats proposed merging Canada, Greenland, Mexico, the US and parts of central America into a “Technate”. It was to be governed by technocratic principles, rather than by national borders and traditional political divisions.

Not really, Trump has no knowledge of or interest in science, and fairness and stability do not seem to be his objectives.

Hospital map info is clearly bollox, there should be a hot spot around every hospital, or Dublin should be a solid colour if using NUTS regions

Also - using TomTom data for what? Trusting a satnav to know what grade of hospital one is isn't useful, and you wouldn't want to think that Dungloe Hospital even has a doctor on site (it's effectively a nursing home now, even if it once had maternity and other services).

Let alone the various protestant schools with Hospital in the name, or the village in Limerick!
