Jeg for vild i Helsinki i januar 2020 på grund af en banan, som jeg skulle skrælle og spise med kolde hænder. Bananer indgår ikke i tankevirksomhed, de eksisterer parallelt.
Han tjekkede nok bare om de 400 lag concealer var 2-3 lag for meget 😉
My local MP (the one I voted for here in Denmark) is in New York to support Mamdani and the people canvassing for him :)
Jeg tænkte mere i retning af transportmuseum og café med udsigt :)

Starvation as a weapon of war is deeply troubling. Starvation as a policy of domestic politics is a dystopian nightmare.
The USDA now threatening grocery stores who offer discounts to SNAP recipients.

People are going hungry. Their benefits were illegally cut off leaving them to starve.

40% of SNAP households have children.

If grocery stores & local business want to step up to help… let them.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
Kan man i det mindste overveje at bruge de to gamle til noget sjovt, hvis man bygger en tredje🤔

Nearly 90 % of the world’s population now lives in countries where inequality exceeds the World Bank’s threshold for “high inequality.” In those societies, the risk of democratic backsliding is seven times higher.

Global economics inequality is reaching a tipping point and the world needs an "IPCC of inquality" to help track and understand the problem.

Thats the main point of todays report of the G20 Expert Group on Global Inequality - led by Joseph Stiglitz, Jayati Ghosh

Zohran gets climate change
I’m heartbroken to learn that two New Yorkers have drowned as a result of today’s torrential rain and flooding. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts tonight.

This kind of sudden and intense rain has become the new normal—and our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.

Good, clear article that allows me to propose once again one of my fave mantras:

If you think mitigation politics is hard, you haven’t thought enough about the toxicity of adaptation politics

The question is not whether we will reshape our institutions to manage climate impacts, but how

Yep, a really bad way to get more disposable income 😬
In Denmark the higher incomes will get a lower tax rate on an interval of the income levels that is taxed the most. And the social incomes for non-pensioners have been cut really heavily until the level of people becoming homeless. We haven’t voted for this sort of tax reduction, but we will get it.
Sålænge der aldrig bliver grund til at skrive at “Det var småkagerne der endte det hele …” 🤞🏻
Men der kom røg ud i dag og du kan få stød 👀
Det ville jeg være tryggere ved …
Cirka den tid plus et par årtier = den tid hvor min storebror fik skæld ud af mine forældre for at tvinge mig til at lave lodninger om ti gange før han var tilfreds 😉
