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
Ukraine has two years to win the war. After that with RW Germany and RW France, RW USA, and if Farage gets up, who will be left to help defend Ukraine. Give Ukraine nuclear weapons if you believe in MAD. Make that Europe's test case. Because the RW in Europe are a Russian construct. As is Trump.

When FR and D move to the far right RU will have captured Hungary, USA, UK, France, Germany et al. Thousands of trillions of USD wasted on defence against Russia over 75 years. If Russia lost in 1989 how did they win now? All that real science, hard tech, defeated by a handful of conmen.

#auspol If you hate the USA you must love China. This inverse reciprocal is fraudulent. Hate both.

The first reaction from the CPC is "Do not use this event to embarrass the Party." Hundreds dead and the Party as always => bc it is exploitational, doesn't give a rat's arse for the people, the dead.

Lots of good, modern movies/TV synopsis explained by critics on Blue Sky. One enjoys reading about them but find it very hard to watch. Put that down to Peter Greenaway's films. The intensity, the splendour, refs to the ~British male, society are incomparable, leaves all else wanting. Need a new PG.

Really happy for a man who has spent his life stating that as someone from the lower deciles and doing it tough, he understood the difficulties Australians face and made it his life mission to contribute to a higher living standard for Australians. He then joined the Labor Party.

Axiomatic or aphoristic couplings reveal a truth or perception, however, often without context. But a generalisation concerning a truth they remain.

There have been two excellent on Blue Sky that get to the heart of what we are living in

Would argue Australia's rising inflation has similar drivers
Why is inflation still high in the UK? One reason is that, even though the sharp inflation in goods after 2022 has tailed off, inflation consumer services is still running high.

@johnspringford.bsky.social and I flagged this as a key issue in our recent essay, and I wanted to say a bit more here…

Being able to go back in time talking to a Great War survivor naively,
"And in the Second world war they developed air..."
"What do you mean Second world war?"
"Well, yours was the First world war..."
There could be no greater scream of anguish from a male about the fate of his fellow man.

What ceasefire? Stinking Israeli government nothing but a pack of genocidal lying bastards.
The West Bank under assault by the IDF. Zionist settlers will be delighted by official acts of murder contributing to the genocidal impulse.
UN says 32,000 Palestinians forced from their homes in the Israeli-occupied territory with major assault ongoing.

#auspol Trouble with the ALP and it's rusted ons - to everyone except those who run it and are its MP's - is that WE ALL BELIEVE any ALP govt is supposed to be a reiteration of Whitlam's in terms of socio-economic progression. (Hawke/Keating excused bc if they didn't do it the LNP

Why doesn't Ed Husic get the same treatment for speaking truth as Fatima Payman?

That's not to advocate punishment for Ed Husic, to the contrary, it's to demonstrate the hypocrisy Labor dishes out to women, and people of other faiths.

The ALP for social justice - pull the other one.
