Long retired economist, inter alia. Political economy determines your nation's life course. Not a bad idea to turn control away from the exploiters and to give power back to Ordoliberal social policy. The returns are developmental. New Deal II, why not III
#auspol Well there's one for the books. The UK has committed to what for its energy generation and how much gas? What do they know we don't? Rather, Australia is the land where the conmen and conwomen of the LNP don't work for you, or small business - just fossil fuel.
'Almost half of the capacity earmarked for 2030 will be solar and battery projects, according to Neso, while a third of the new capacity will be onshore and offshore windfarms. Only 3% of the capacity due to connect by 2030 will be gas-fired power.'

#auspol #USA When is the rest of the Western world going to criticise the USA for being a failing or pseudo-democracy? Not one Western country has spoken up regards the GOP gerrymander. Everyone that gutless you can't call out the US for being undemocratic, for rigging the vote? FFS SPEAK OUT

UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.
In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills.
Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors.
No end to nightmare without public ownership.

Not surprised the so-called Pipe Bombing suspect has admitted that he not only believes the big lie that 2020 election was stolen but also admitted that he voted for the orange felon.
I’ve said many times before, MAGA inspires, incites, breeds terrorism. Jan 6 was the start.

There is no US General who suggests NATO alliance with Europe somehow compromises US sovereignty, functionality or cost. The latter may appear surprising but is not. Europe as a battleground for the USA is better than their homeland. This decision to drop the EU is Trump's bc he is a Russian agent.

With Trump giving out 1500 pardons with the view these are paid for by the criminals via a Trump family network it wouldn't be hard to set up a sting to see if this was correct. Of course you'd need the DoJ and the FBI to be independent bodies to work...in other news there's a cat stuck in a tree.

Imagine being RW and denying that corporate is the cause of our society's ills and then they say this: and if you feel you have to defend it as you contort yourself - what is left for you. Nothing but being an apologist, an apparatchik, a justifier for people and ideas that spell your own demise.

Saw a Toyota Camry Station Wagon this morning. All that boot space made good sense. Part of the Subaru Outback's success was due to it being a station wagon. One really hopes for a RAV4 station wagon or a Camry station wagon. Utility doesn't mean SUV - it means useful over a variety of situations.

Anthony Albanese and the Australian Labor Party - if Gough Whitlam had met the former and seen the later
(i) he wouldn't recognise either as being Labor
(ii) Whitlam would call Albanese a class traitor, and the ALP, a sycophantic capitalist lackey
On what basis could you argue otherwise?

E.Gibbon on how the USA functions. The more you realise the place is a basket case. On logic alone, the US remains a self-destructive, self-defeating nation of workers v's opportunists, schemers, elites, corporations who exploit the former. US self-contradiction will cause it to fall from within.

How does the Supreme Court of the United States work?

(ii) Disregard legal precedent, legal argument

Meritocracy Must Not Be Our Goal
To elevate either meritocracy or DEI to doctrinal status is to continue the advance of managerialism in American life.

Ah ladies, vote Conservative - and you too can become a meaningless, side hustle.
Claremont fellow Scott Yenor via Claremont’s The American Mind seeks to reassure conservative women w/ jobs (eg, Megyn Kelley) that “tradwives” can have “side-hustles.” 🙄
Yenor belongs to a secretive Christian men’s society started by Charles Haywood who explicitly advocates sex discrimination. 1/
