Inflation is within-target-zone and falling, yet RBA won't cut rates. Other central banks are cutting quickly, but the RBA's perverse ideological inflexibility is amplifying the pain felt by working people. Our @JimboStanford explains for @TheNewDailyAu: thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2…

Scathing statement from Bernie Sanders on the election results
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them…”

This is what I wrote in 2021. I was ridiculed and worse.
I am from Nuremberg. I stuck my head out and called for strategic price controls because I had studied the history of inflation and inflation control for years and was worried inflation would bring Trump back.

If Trump implements even half of the policies he’s promised, the USA will soon be a very unattractive place for the world’s brightest researchers and students. It’s a unique opportunity for countries like Australia to seize the opportunity to turbocharge our research sectors.

BEIRUT: Israel has bombed one of main water channels from Litani River. Thousands hectares now without irrigation. Will cause huge food shortages. On top of heavy shelling & “widespread” (HRW) use of chemical weapons by Israel (white phosphorus) on sth Lebanon this is devastating

In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators.
Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.”
On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.”
12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.

Who could've known?! 🤷♂️

"A risk-averse minister has placated the business lobby, and instead of responding to real-world needs has embarked on a painfully incremental, minimalist program of reforms that won’t achieve anything in the current parliamentary period."

Latest census data is out in New Zealand.
People identifying as 'Christian' dropped from 36.5% to 32.3%, and those who say they have no religion exceeded 50% for the first time.
The ongoing decline of church power is a welcome trend.
