I rarely use the term, but FMD.

I can't remember seeing 'the establishment' this concerned. Revealing, isn't it?

He is going to need one of those harnesses they put on small children who tend to wander off in supermarkets.

Indeed. If this dystopian episode of the apprentice has any upside, it is the extent to which cracks were hitherto papered over. The weaknesses in your institutions, the culture of celebrity and wealth, the cult of the individual suppression of the common good.

Malaysians endured English, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch colonisers. Surely they have suffered enough.

Strange that they need such a big ballroom for a party with so few balls.

Couldn't you all have bought him a nice Lego set?

Federal Government debt is not like private debt. It is just money with an end date and interest rate. At maturity it returns to the ordinary money from whence it came. #MMT

Not opposed to taxing fossil fuel production, but they don't need to raise the money. The Feds can create the money if the real resources are available i.e. materials, builders, etc. "Anything we can do, we can afford" - J. M. Keynes.

give a 50/50 chance of limiting warming to well below 2°C". - Institute and Faculty of Actuaries & University of Exeter Jan 2025.

Drinking more of the neoliberal cool-aid is not a solution. How do you think you ended up here?

Surely she is there to answer questions, not engage in a discussion. Are these proceedings not subject to contempt standards?

Was there ever successful revolution that didn't replace one set of elites with another?
