The recurring pattern in financial crises is more or less the same. For some reason, a shift occurs in the economic cycle (such as war, innovations, new regulations, etc.) that leads to changes in the profit opportunities for banks and companies. Demand and prices rise, pulling more and more parts of the economy into a […]

The ambulance’s red glare “Make America Great Again” is Donald Trump’s freighted message to a conservative political base longing for “the good, old days.” You know, when men were men, women were women, white Christians were dominant, non-whites knew their place, and the biggest worry on the Fourth of July was fireworks injuries. Somehow, I don’t think MAGAstan is fretting about that last bit. From CNN’s daily “5 Things” news summary: Independence Day celebrations were marred by violence over the holiday weekend after several mass shootings took place across the US. At least nine people were injured in a shooting early this morning in Washington, DC, as the victims were celebrating the Fourth of July in the nation’s capital. In Philadelphia, a shooting Monday left five people dead and two others wounded. On the same night in Fort Worth, Texas, a shooting killed three people and wounded eight others. Separately, block parties recently turned deadly in Indianapolis and Baltimore, leaving investigators scouring the crime scenes for answers.

1. From Behind Like a Baddie
Show off your booty with this classic bikini photo taken from behind. Look back at the camera by craning your neck 180-degrees or as far as you can without snapping your spinal cord or scrunching any neck skin for a definitely-not-candid candid shot that is oh so cheeky.
2. Tuck and Trot
Nail this pose by squeezing all your internal organs as close to each other as possible while simultaneously elongating all your limbs. Your intestine, liver, kidney, or any other essential body part that keeps you alive, should be constricted and shrunk to zero visibility. We’re going for fresh, not flesh. Now strut along a beach or pool deck with zero awareness of your surroundings. You might trip on a pool noodle or step on some piercing sea shells. It’s just par for the course. Pain is beauty!

Recently, I wrote about the conditions that dictate what impacts interest rate changes will have on aggregate spending and demand-driven inflation in direction, magnitude and temporality – see RBA governor’s ‘Qu’ils mangent de la brioche’ moments of disdain (June 8, 2023). It is highly likely in many cases, the decisions by central banks to increase…

Ambrogio Cesa-Bianchi, Ed Hall, Marco Pinchetti and Julian Reynolds The remarkable stability of US inflation dynamics in the pre-Covid era had led many to think that the Phillips Curve had flattened.

July 5th, 2023: My new book DANGER AND OTHER UNKNOWN RISKS is out now and it's getting really go Reuters served as a channel for the UK Foreign Office to covertly fund an Egyptian outlet that clamored for the overthrow of the country’s first democratically elected leader, leaked documents show. This July 3 marks the 10th anniversary of Egyptian army chief General Abdel Fattah Sisi’s violent seizure of power in Cairo. The first democratically elected leader in 5000 years of Egyptian history, Mohamed Morsi, was swept from office, his supporters were massacred by the hundreds, and he ultimately died […] The post Leaked documents reveal Reuters helped overthrow Egyptian democracy first appeared on The Grayzone.

In the decades before the National Health Service (NHS), healthcare in Britain was guided by very different ideas. Most of the country’s hospitals were grim Victorian centres for the destitute, derived from workhouse infirmaries established under the Poor Law. An 1834 statute regarded poverty as a moral failing that should be punished with hard labour. […] 75 years after the creation of the NHS, there is no scarcity of praise for the greatest social achievement in Britain’s history – but readers of the mainstream press today will find precious little mention of its socialist roots. Aneurin Bevan, the minister responsible for its creation and former editor of this magazine, suffered from […] | ||
