You're sorta right. The economies of sovereign nations are not particularly similar to small households, however continuously incurring debt without raising significant revenue will kneecap a country's economy (eg the UK). Rather than focusing exclusively on debt the IMF should be strongly encouraging countries like the UK to drive up revenue by all means. The most obvious way of doing this is by raising taxes. The IMF is, however, in the thrall of big money which is fundamentally opposed to tax's.

This is, hands down, the greatest version of this song.

Powerpop. What's not to like? Jangly guitars, vocal harmonies and killer hooks.

That would be the Republican politicians who were bought by Boeing and then cut the funding to the FAA

How easy would it be for a foreign power to use inexpensive bot nets to amplify misinformation on a truly industrial scale on what are, essentially, unregulated social media platforms? Turns out the results are in and (a) it's very easy and (b) it's incredibly effective at sowing distrust and fear.

It's time to regulate social media folks. The "free speech" excuse has been proven demonstrably false by Musk, Zuckerberg et al.

Wow. Just, wow. I think you've really touched on a deeper truth here that many people simply haven't arrived at.

Yes, there are many people in our society that a good but there's also the willfully ignorant (and under educated) bullies who's whole lives have been based on the flawed premise that they are simply better than everyone else.

Tina Peters is the outstanding example of this type of person. She wasn't "brainwashed" or somehow changed. Her actions were a result of her deep seated belief that she is somehow more important, more worthy than anyone else. Trumpism simply gave these people an "acceptable" way of acting out on their world view.

Well, he did have to put up with her being in the same court room as him. Personally, I feel sorry for the Judge, he didn't deserve this.

 

State’s electoral commission receives request from NSW Liberal president after party failed to lodge nominations for more than 130 council candidates

 

Video has been posted on social media purporting to show overnight Ukrainian attacks on a Russian air force base at Morozovsk, in Rostov Oblast, which is situated around 190 miles away from the nearest territory controlled by Kyiv.

The attacks were confirmed on Telegram by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who said warehouses storing ammunition, including powerful glide bombs, were hit and that "information regarding the destruction of air-defense equipment and enemy aviation is being clarified."

 

Job cuts continue across the empire as the business model dies a slow death.

 

Kyiv’s forces are due to receive the aircraft within weeks, but analysts say they are unlikely to be a game-changer.
