"Om Almega på allvar vill återupprätta friskolesektorns anseende borde de protestera mot systemet, där resurser går till helt andra saker än till utbildningen, och där valfriheten sakta men säkert försvinner i takt med att vinstuttagen växer." www.expressen.se/ledare/linne...

This is from the most recent edition of the STATUS newsletter; an all-too-common gripe with the NYT is that as an institution, they exhibit little-to-no esprit de corps with the rest of the journalism industry.

Zara’s “exit” from Russia was never real.
Inditex sold its stores to a Lebanese partner under a contract guaranteeing re-entry. Now, Zara and other brands are back in Russian malls—just three months after the CEO swore they wouldn’t return.
Sanctions loopholes + corporate greed = business as usual.
Zara CEO rules out Russia return, yet products appear in Russian stores three months later
Zara’s CEO said Russia was off-limits. Russian shoppers apparently didn’t get the memo.

Stern words from ⁦‪the conservative WSJ editorial board‬⁩: “The real offender here is a President who seems to think he can use the powers of his office to run vendettas. We said this was one of the risks of a second Trump term, and it’s turning out to be worse than we imagined.”
