Long retired economist, inter alia. Political economy determines your nation's life course. Not a bad idea to turn control away from the exploiters and to give power back to Ordoliberal social policy. The returns are developmental. New Deal II, why not III

Here's a reason why Israel takes what it wants bc it is able to buy off important people. Like all those below. See the former head of the CIA there though, one James Woolsey - he was just named as an associate of Epstein. How high does it go - the CIA, the CIA!

And just like that "Ceasefire" Palestinian murder stopped. Genocide stopped. Women and children starved, murdered, housing stolen, Israeli aggression all stopped.

Only for a RW MSM that is dedicated to support Israel. It is as bad as it was, mass starvation, mass bombing. Stop the Israeli genocide.

My heart screams “Why is a pedophile rapist the president?” But my head understands: they’ve always been protected. I know many people who've been sexually assaulted by men who’ve never been held to account, myself included. Why would it change now? We see what the GOP is doing. We aren't stupid.

#auspol The Federal Labor Government is an institutional failure.

Makes NO STRUCTURAL CHANGE TO CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - they tax evade, destroy consumers, appropriate national income

Failed to provide social welfare for our poorest & most disadvantaged.

Failed Science/R&D.

Labor is Trumpian.

The priority of any government is to ensure the security of the people. Politicians who cannot accept that climate change is the greatest threat to that security have no place in any Australian parliament. They should resign.#auspol #climatechange

So what was the point of the Banking Royal Commission? We need regulation that comes into law for the defense of customers. Time for another Royal Commission? Not under Labor, the new corporate arse lickers.
Recall Murdoch's 'Most humblest day of my life.' Mea culpas do nothing for us.

Boycott Israel bc they think they have the power to commit genocide. Hurt them in whatever way you can. Israel is a terror state where it's stinking hypocrisy is supported by almost all western governments. Democracy does not support genocide.
The UK, which continued military collaboration with Israel as it deliberately starved Palestinians in Gaza, gives a speech at the UN lamenting the use of "starvation as a weapon of war".

China leads in 37 of 44 critical technologies. What does Australia do under both Neanderthalist governments of Liberal and Labor - kill our future.

Labor at every turn is just as bad as the LNP. No fucking difference. Vote Greens ffs or we all become plebs in an economy run by corporate elites.
That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.

"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."

This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.

CSIRO to slash hundreds of jobs in cost-saving drive
The staff association at the nation’s leading scientific research organisation says the latest round of cuts marks “a sad day for publicly funded science”.

As one is entering twilight years, keep thinking how for e.g. relativity didn't gain a popular/public presence until many decades post. While one scours popular science journals it is fact there are discoveries today that will be hugely impactful but not popularised until decades after I've passed.

#aauspol Comyn the CEO of CBA refuses to return the $230m they gouged out of their poorest customers bc that money is now 'shareholder funds.' With post hoc ergo propter logic like that, it's false justification of theft. Stop this corporate mentality as if they have the right to steal from you.

Indoctrination and ignorance are the cornerstones of Theocracy
This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

Millions of tourists visit the Colosseum and Sistine Chapel each year, yet only a tiny fraction ever step inside the gilded halls of Rome’s most exclusive site: the Colonna Palace.
A peek inside the Colonna Palace, Rome’s most exclusive tourist site
Every year, millions visit Rome's famous sites, but few enter the exclusive Colonna Palace. This private home-museum, hidden in the city center, opens only to small groups for a few hours on Friday and Saturday mornings.

All the Aussies who argue China acts in self-defence from an imperial United States. Is the West in Tibet, have you ever read anything of what the Chinese have done there you apologists for mass murder.

#USPol Tax breaks below helped organised by Karen Dunn the lauded lawyer who left a sycophantic Trump law firm. A great Democrat? Who helped write speeches, provide advice for K.Harris and HRC.

But she was a lawyer for Alphabet, for Amazon, for Uber. Corporate Democrats don't work for you.

#UK BBC backed Farage to the hilt. His thanks, "Let Trump destroy the BBC." Pound shop dictators only see themselves - the BBC can't appease Farage. Who already sold out to Russia. For Democracy to work requires accountability & transparency, not our institutions subordinating those processes.

You have a statement tendered to the court from a girl 13 at the time, where Trump sexually assaulted her. It is a truthful description of what he did to a 13 yr old girl as experienced by her. It was withdrawn after death threats. Trump is a paedophile. Life in jail.

The presented issue in MSM is how to generate enough power for AI.

When was the last time MSM felt the need to discuss, let alone demand action, to feed all our people, provide shelter and opportunity.

As we do know what is the more important - why don't we act on that?
