Clip - Tessa Munt MP opens the #MECFS debate, noting ~400,000 have ME in the UK, & the total could be much higher including people with with long COVID. She highlights decades of substandard, sometimes harmful care, pitiful funding, and the outdated view of ME as psychiatric.

This quote has been all over online the last couple of days (due to a 1920s themed ball held at the White House while the Administration is refusing to fund food stamps).
Carelessness—indifference to the effects of your actions on others—is more often the root of evil than outright maliciousness.

Speaking of the ‘liberal international order’, here’s an excellent little primer on what it was, why it’s now history, and where we might be headed.

Even if war is not the outcome, this sort of behaviour is reckless and further buries the liberal international order. It is a gift to those regimes who wish to dominate or subjugate their neighbours.

It’s been kinda wild this year to discover that I believe in the US more than a sizeable chunk of its own citizens do.
More to the point, I think that, if it’s anything, ‘America’s an idea’, but it’s clear many US folks see it primarily as a particular ethnic or cultural heritage.

Here’s a reason to care about the dramatic cuts to foreign aid and the decay of the post-WW2 liberal international order. Scamming/hacking is now an international industry that thrives in lawless corners of the world entwined with autocratic regimes.

As a disability pensioner, it’s a little worrisome watching welfare get savaged in both the US and UK by governments on different sides of the politics. Governments here have not been friends to welfare recipients, but not so heartless as this.
