"Eonganj" came on this morning during a run. Had to stop and absorb it. Great album all around, happy to have a fresh listen while outside on a growing morning. @zanetrow.net

“a nightmare. America is a nightmare right now. The country is mentally ill. It needs help. There seem to be delusions of grandeur and self-loathing in equal measure. It gets grimmer every day. I’ve never seen such dysfunction in my life. It’s really embarrassing.”

Property investor flips home purchased for $700,000 three years ago, for $1,000,000.
Makes $300,000 capital gain, but only pays tax on $150,000 (50%).
That means investor pockets half the gain ($150,000) without paying $1 in tax on it.
You earn $150,000 pa…and you pay $43,567 in tax.
Fair?

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?

Federal workers aren’t furloughed.

Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.

Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.

It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

They get the budget passed.

There were ample laws to prevent this or shut it down. The NSW Police just didn’t want to.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.

The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

I quite agree. With everything Chris Hedges says.
