Brilliant analysis of how Labour should go back to basics in its presentation of why taxation fairly and adequately levied is the price of civilisation, but expressed in concrete terms as good health, education, care, security. Defy the Daily Mail!!

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Reminder that juror fees have not been increased since 2004 (yes 21 years ago). The maximum payable is $127 for more than 3 hours and beyond 9 pm.
The usual daily rate is $62 for more than 3 hours but not beyond 6 pm.
Jury duty is obviously nowhere near as important as being on a board.
