Nothing to see here. This is definitely a normal post that perfectly demonstrates appropriate behavior for a man with grave responsibilities to the nation and absolutely, positively does not show psychological derangement and incapacity to serve as president under section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

Every economy runs on light.
Without light, there is no life. Without life, there is no labour.
Without labour, there is no economy.
Yet modern economics behaves as if energy, health, and human limits do not matter. Why? That's the question I address here.

Zack Polanski, migration, the Greens, and an economics of care
Zack Polanski issued a Christmas message yesterday that demanded the country solve the problem of small boats crossing the English Channel.
As he pointed out, quite fairly, France is not a safe place ...

Tech-feudalism? A hyper surveillance state, a panopticon hidden behind ‘content’ that makes you smirk? What’s left? These sociopathic and greedy oligarchs instead of those ones? They strip the world of meaning and ask us to fight for it. Get f**ked.

Lots of talk around Europe about being ready to fight..and ‘bleed’ etc. As a father of 3 ‘fighting age’ sons, I’d ask what they might be fighting for. Neoliberalism? Forgive my lukewarm enthusiasm. A rules-based international order? Yeah, I’m good, thanks, we’ve seen how that works. What else? 1/

The return of Erasmus is the BEST thing I’ve heard in this dreadful year. It got my son invaluable work experience in France. He came back fluent in French and went on to do outstanding work in his French and Arabic degree. Exposure to another country’s culture and language is never wasted.
