Yanis Varoufakis: What to watch for in 2025 – Trump, the US dollar, and China

Have you ever heard of Musk complaining about child abuse in the US? If not, why not, as there are around 500 000 victims are various types of abuse per year there...

Fred Lambert: "I would point out the hypocrisy of a self-appointed defender of democracy calling for a figurehead monarch to dissolve a democratically elected government, but is it even worth it at this point?

If you are still backing Elon, you are either doing so fully aware that he is a lying hypocrite, or you make infinite mental gymnastics around it that I simply can't keep up with."

Nicholas Eberstadt: Is the World Ready for the Population Bust? | Foreign Affairs Interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTqp2NVnZjs

Nicholas Eberstadt is a political economist from the [right wing] American Enterprise Institute. Worth a listen... Labour really ought to be prioritising ending the 2 child tax credit limit. The Nation is going to need more taxpayers; better to grow our own instead of risking importing more immigrant labour with the accompanying social divisions.

Trek,

I am with you but am fed up with shops overcharging \ having cycles of stuff 'on offer' and then back to 'full price'. Things like Skyr yoghurt - 1/2 the time it is £1.25 a pot then back to £2.50. I should not have to shop around for a staple like yoghurt.

My next Amazon order includes Ecover detergent. 'On offer' at Ocado at £7 [normally £10] but 2 for £9.50 from the Ecover shop on Amazon. Sensodyne toothpaste; sometimes 2 for £8 at the supermarkets when 'on offer' but recently £2.63 a tube direct from the Sensodyne Store on Amazon.

And spend £35 and Amazon delivers free... Works for me even though I think they should be taxed much more.

'Amazon denies New Orleans truck attack victim's request for leave of absence: report'

https://www.rawstory.com/amazon-warehouse-2670735790/

How cruel can they be?

'A woman who was seriously injured in the New Year's Eve truck attack in New Orleans says that the Amazon warehouse where she works has denied her request for a leave of absence.

In an interview with The New Orleans Advocate, 23-year-old Alexis Scott-Windham of Mobile, Alabama says that her request for a leave of absence was denied despite the fact that she still has a bullet lodged in her foot and is suffering from what the newspaper describes as "multiple fractures" as a result of the incident, which took the lives of 14 people and left several more injured.'

I still buy stuff from Amazon though; sometimes so much cheaper than anywhere else...

LIVE: Election of House Speaker amid major uncertainty

Will they be able to appoint a Speaker to bring in Christofascism? The markets will not appreciate Johnson not getting the votes and exposing the fractures within MAGA.

But what about online? Shop footfall has been in decline for years.

How long will the hype continue?

It is unlikely that people will still be mocking Cruella in 7 years time for her gaff today...

Suella Braverman tells LBC that Italy have "built a wall" on the "land border between Italy and Turkey" and insists that "I've been to see it"... “They’ve got drones. They’ve got armoured vehicles. They’ve got soldiers. The numbers crossing that border have plummeted.”

Italy and Turkey do not share a border; imaginary memories and geography brought to you by an architect of Brexit Brilliance.
