Bob Cratchet's household - an adult male, an adult female, four children of varying ages - probably needs on the order of 11,000 calories per day, which is about 3.3kg of wheat; 23kg per week, 85% of a bushel.

So a third of Crachet's 15 shillings go to food at the cheapest option for food.

One way to think about the comparison is in a 'grain wage' - how wages translate to calories and what that means for standard of living.

Grain prices in Britain in 1843 (when A Christmas Carol was published) were around c. 6 shillings per bushel.

A good example of why direct inflation adjustment of this sort is more deceptive than clarifying when applied over very long stretches of time where consumption patterns are very different.

Basic foods (bread/grain) probably devours a third of Cratchet's income, but not the modern worker's.

La historia de Albania que compartí ayer mejora.

Un programa del SEPI albanés enviaba multas y embargos a parados por cobrar ayuda sin buscar trabajo. Tenía numerosos errores.

El SEPI pidió análisis a Deloitte. Les enviaron un texto 100% generado por IA y cobraron 440k. 🎉

Dutch courts fighting to make Facebook and Instagram useable again.

Last week, a Dutch court ordered Meta to give Facebook & Instagram users the right to set a chronological feed by default - one of the first EU cases applying the DSA in civil proceedings.

To unpack what this means, I spoke with @bitsoffreedom.bsky.social:

Tech Policy Press spoke with Rejo Zenger, Policy and Advocacy Lead at Bits of Freedom, to better understand the significance of the ruling.

Las cosas que dice sobre la tasa de homicidios Trump son mentiras. Esta es la tasa de asesinatos violentos en EEUU comparadas con otros paises de la OCDE. Por tanto:
- no hay más asesinatos que en los 80, hay la mitad
- EEUU tiene tasas de homicidio de país pobre pero ha mejorado mucho

🔴 La justicia ha impedido la utilización del derecho penal como herramienta de silenciamiento.

El juez ha sido contundente: la querella es «un perfecto dislate». 👇
Pretender que semejante crítica, en términos vagos y genéricos, supone un ataque a la reputación de la querellante, que no es ni nombrada, y que además ese daño reputacional se puede valorar en 50.000 euros, según “informe pericial” que se acompaña, es un perfecto dislate. El querellante está en su perfecto derecho de denunciar una práctica que entiende corrupta y que según él está generalizada en el sector de las licitaciones tecnológicas, y no se entiende que la querellante pretenda que esas afirmaciones, insisto en términos absolutamente genéricos, justifiquen la existencia de un ataque a su honor de tal intensidad como para proponer la reacción penal. Por poner un equivalencia , eso es igual a que este proveyente decidiera querellarse por injurias con alguno de los muchos tuiteros que están diciendo todo el día en esa red que los jueces son todos unos prevaricadores. En definitiva, los hechos narrados en la querella no pueden encuadrarse en el tipo penal de injurias, pues las expresiones están cubiertas por el ejercicio del derecho fundamental a la libre expresión, vinculada con una finalidad de la crítica política imprescindible en un Estado democrático, al afectar a la contratación pública de un gobierno regional.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Trump told NBC on Sunday that he saw some Portland riot footage on Fox and thought it reflected current events.

It didn't. It was 5 years old, from the George Floyd aftermath.

And we learned that due to the diligence of a local TV reporter, who got the transcript.

www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...
Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what’s being portrayed to him. “I spoke to the governor, she was very nice,” Trump said. “But I said, ‘Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.’ They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place…it looks like terrible.”

"Lutnick, in a notable break with the DOJ, claimed late pedophile Epstein was 'the greatest blackmailer ever' — and may have traded the feds video of his rich and well-connected associates getting massages from young women in exchange for a controversial 2008 plea deal."
Exclusive | Howard Lutnick tells ‘Pod Force One’ ex-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein showed off massage room, made creepy comment during townhouse tour
“This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. … That’s how he had money,” Lutnick said on the latest episode of “Pod Force One,” out Wednesday.
