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

There is no better understanding of the NYT than presented by Dr Rahmstorf. The NYT is a RW, Republican, corporatist rag. It uses occasional equivalence where it suits, social concerns to signal compassion - but it's a sham. The NYT is a Trump & Republican Party apologist.

#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.

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 It was withdrawn after death threats.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.

One argues for JB Leishman's translations. His meter of Rilke's, "Girl's Lament" overcomes late 20th C Anglophone translations of soft, urbanised language - of non-lived exp. For e.g. two words are entities 'self-withdrawingness,' 'comprehendingness' - JBL perceives Rilke's phenomenology.

"Hemingway suggested: not with a bang, but gradually, then suddenly. ...News Corp’s trajectory. Lachlan’s victory tastes like ashes because he inherited dominion over ruins." Also a description of Anglophone nations decline. Of the US pop. the lower 50% are immiserated, UK is better yet still dying.

Looking to purchase new headphones. Saw this for a 1m/2m headphone cable. Thought the compromise to your signal is ohmic power loss. Resistance might lead to what, 5% of a db, beyond most normal hearing? As for a propagation conductor isn't that bs for the structure/physical properties of the cable?

"And you have the choice to not use it beyond your choices." Could you be somewhat more specific in explaining what is meant by "...to not use it beyond your choices." I'm not the brightest. Thanks.

NATO Secretary General Rutte, Bucharest 6/11 said below China along with Russia et al are preparing for long term confrontation.
Is the US/West misrepresenting China or being realistic?
1. The West falsely creates China into a potential enemy
2. China is a real enemy of the West

Agreed - except a framework for those protected industries must be insitu. Trump's tariffs with the stability of corn kernels in hot oil fail that test. Purpose: federal receipts for elites tax cuts. Bottom five deciles contribute 3% to income taxation. It's a tax on non-discretionary consumption.

There's a few about. Whilst NewsCorp blamed Devine (it was from her personal twitter account,) they pretty much immediately got her a US gig - and upwards to the Right she continued. Adam Creighton, Economics Ed, advocated during Covid, No Lock down, Work you plebs. Rewarded with Washington gig.
