Irony aside, how many other things do we not have in further abundance because the stock market vigilantes can’t abide by high investment intensity and price wars.
Israeli accounts doing overtime to try and smear Khan — the irony is that it’s widely known Israel had lobbied for his placement on the court as serving its interest. Ultimately the ICC case arose due to internal pressure in the profession over very brazen conduct in current war.
I just found out that the ICC Prosecutor, Karim Khan, is an Ahmadiyya Muslim who focuses on missionary work to spread Islam and considers the Qur’an the ultimate and unalterable word of God. Explains a lot.
Bessent got the job at Treasury by advising Trump on three areas (budget, regulations, oil) over which Treasury has no authority.
10 Great Books on Institutions and Economics (Nobel Special) 1) Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance - Douglass North A foundational work in institutional analysis, explaining institutions from first principles and explaining their development through time.
if you stay on this platform, will the the australian gov't force *you* to provide identity documents and your location to @elonmusk? certainly sounds like it.
6/ - Requires platforms to track Australian user location - Forces collection of identity documents - The bill's S 63C(1)(a)(iv) allows Minister to add "such other conditions" through legislative rules, potentially expanding data collection requirements without new legislation.
Eight stories. Eight stories of Lebanese families sleeping in their beds without even so much as a faux-warning from the IDF minutes before.
A series of Israeli airstrikes hit central Beirut’s Basta neighborhood early Saturday, destroying an 8-story apartment building and leaving a crater in the ground apnews.com/article/mideas…
It has been speculated target of this attack was Naim Qassem although no confirmation. Regardless this attack shows advantage Israel enjoys from unlimited heavy bombs from the U.S. as it can simply level any general area it suspects a target is present and faces no legal limits.
Videos coming from the attack site in Basta, central Beirut are terrifying. This one shows the extent of the destruction. Apart from the building that was flattened, several other buildings have been badly damaged. This happened at 0400 when people were sleeping.
It seems like a major focus of the Trump administration will be settling internal scores with members of the bureaucracy and Democratic Party who have been their antagonists in prior years. This is basically an elite power struggle with limited relevance to most ordinary people.
I am going to embrace my meme & thread here everything I write or find on Housing, home affordability, construction issues, rental crises, etal ... Not sure why this is my job to do but have no idea how anyone else thinks the current inequities are survivable for the society.
Trump nominated for Labor Secretary a congresswoman who voted for the PRO Act
Underrated reason for unpleasantness of daily life is that people whose job it is operate society on basic level are paid very little and have few incentives to take their jobs vert seriously. So of course things are made and operated at bare minimum level most of the time.
I don’t begrudge Starmer meeting with Larry Fink any more than I begrudge Kamala and Walz meeting with Alex Soros. You gotta do what you gotta do. But it’s the earnest touting of these meetings like it’s a Good Thing For The People™️ that makes me want to storm the Bastille.
I'm determined to deliver growth, create wealth and put more money in people’s pockets. This can only be achieved by working in partnership with leading businesses, like @BlackRock, to capitalise on the UK’s position as a world leading hub for investment.
Elizabeth Warren actually lost votes versus Kamala Harris among wealthy suburbanites, but outperformed in working class areas. prospect.org/politics/2024-…
"We have to resist the consolidation of corporate power if we're gonna protect working people." On the House Floor, @repdeliaramirez on standing up against price gouging, algorithm-enabled price-fixing, and bad mergers like Kroger-Albertsons.👇📺
if you care about your privacy, you might want to read this thread. the ‘keeping younger teens off socials’ bill will impact privacy for us all.
Okay, I have spent some time analysing the kids' social media ban Bill and holy hell, this is bad. You have one day (til COB tomorrow) to get a letter of submission in and I think it would be great if you did. Analysis. @DavidShoebridge @AdamBandt @SenatorJordon @Asher_Wolf
Breaking: Israeli forces continue their assault on Kamal Adwan Hospital. Drones have targeted the hospital’s water supply infrastructure, following the earlier bombing of its sole power generator and oxygen station.
Cannot emphasize enough that starvation as a weapon of war being used by Israel is an indisputable fact which has been corroborated by over five dozen humanitarian organizations, the US State Department's internal review, USAID, every single UN body, and now the ICC. A fact.
Gaetz was the most pro-consumer, anti-big tech, anti-surveillance, pro-FTC House Republican by far and ofc libs cheer for his removal and we instead get a former Silicon Valley lobbyist for AG. On every corporate power issue at stake Bondi has a less progressive record.
This paper seems like a really big deal: neoliberal antitrust directly leads to unbearable insurance costs.
Insurance mergers account for 22 percent of employer sponsored health insurance price hikes!
