the economy is understimulated because people aren't buying things
to counter this, we should stimulate the economy with stimulus checks
in order to bring stability, we should keep doing it consistently, perhaps every month, for every person, universally
it's quite basic really

My first preference is a more peaceful world, my second is a better, more cohesive European Union, but it may be that the realistic goal for a coalition that safeguards #democracy, our freedoms and way of life might be the Kalmar Reunion.
Make the Nordics united again 💪

Mitä tapahtui on luultavasti se että rikkaat ja vaikutusvaltaiset sai kyseenalaistamatta väittää omaa itsekästä vastuun pakoiluaan vastuun kantamisen odottamiseksi muilta niin pitkään, että siihen alettiin uskoa.

I've noticed the same thing here in Finland: that the right-wingers only *assume* they know about economics.
Let's keep in mind Oren Cass is supposed to be a leading "intellectual" of the new right and he just straight up doesn't know what comparative advantage is, a concept taught in every undergrad economics survey course.
I don't think I've ever seen someone destroy their own career with such elegant simplicity.

If the test of a theory is its predictive power, then Trump-Russia is the most robust theory in all contemporary political science.

I say again: strong defence is almost useless without a strong society.
Defence is never stronger than its weakest link, and a society divided into have-lots and have-nots is ripe for one of the oldest tricks in the book:
divide et impera.
TAX. THE. RICH.

“It’s one thing to say the economy is not doing well and we’ve got a fiscal challenge … but cutting the benefits of the most vulnerable in our society who can’t work, to pay for that, is not going to work. And it’s not a Labour thing to do.” - Ed Balls

Cutting welfare goes against Labour’s core values – that’s the point
Labour MPs threaten to rebel over government plan for welfare reform. But this is not new for Labour. Its in the party’s political DNA

I despise revolutions, I despise them with passion. They bring death & misery and rarely solve problems. What I despise even more is people like Louis XVI, Nicholas III, von Hindenburg, von Papen or Schumer, who think the ancien régime will last forever. They leave no other option than revolution.
Is this a joke? The House GOP's CR attacks the constitution by undermining the legislative branch's authority -- that's you, Gillibrand! -- handing unchecked power to Elon Musk.
A blue state Democrat is asking the rest of her caucus to sign their own figurative death warrant.

There is only one way to do this seriously and sustainably: the people have to pay in proportion to what they gain from the arrangement.
The rich have the most to lose if Project Europe fails. (Although many desire it, thinking they'd float to the top like the scum they are.)
So.

Do you want performative security theater?
Because that's how you get performative security theater.
And waste billions for weapons you then abandon, once the societal contract that is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for large societal projects like defence frays.

This is the most dangerous, irresponsible framing imaginable. Not to mention it is bollocks.
The big big winners from positioning Ukrainian security against poor British people & our public services are the far right.
TAX THE RICH TO PAY FOR DEFENSE. PROTECT OUR WELFARE STATE.

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.
