Financially, fewer households appear to be living hand to mouth. This may have implications for the effectiveness of certain economic policies, such as stimulus spending.

May 6th, 2024: The solution is simple I regularly scan research output from disciplines other than economics that I think impacts on economic matters. On April 17, 2024, a new study from medical researchers at the Burnett Institute in Melbourne, working with staff at the Department of Health and Human Services, in Victoria published a pre-print in The Lancet – Admission Screening…
Kevin Drum tells everyone to buck up. Life in these United States really isn’t more miserable than it’s ever been. He posted a video of Congressman Jamal Bowman saying: Young people are TIRED. They’re tired of growing up with forever wars, with no healthcare, with crumbling infrastructure. Young people have every right to demand better from their leaders. It’s their job to. Kevin responds: Just stop it. Joe Biden ended the Afghanistan war and cut American drone strikes nearly to zero. The US is not currently fighting any major wars and in 2022, for the first time in decades, reported no civilian deaths due to US combat. Health insurance coverage has steadily increased among the young for the past decade: And infrastructure is not “crumbling” by any stretch of rhetoric.
There are many opportunities to connect with fellow event organizers throughout the week at DrupalCon Portland 2024. All WeekCommunity Events Booth Monday, May 6 - 2:00 - 3:00pmEvent Organizers Roundtable BOF This blog post was written by Promote Drupal committee member Emma Horrell. If you’re familiar with Drupal, you will have learned its language. You will be familiar with words like Views, Blocks and Paragraphs, and you will appreciate their respective features and functions. But for those new to Drupal, getting to grips with what words mean can mean a steep learning curve. The start of the Drupalisms issueUser research to improve the Drupal admin UI raised an interesting finding. When the Drupal community was asked to complete an exercise where they grouped terms from the UI into categories that made sense to them, the results showed people were unable to place some of the terms. Further investigation indicated that people weren’t sure what these outlier terms meant (and therefore they had struggled to sort them). (Note the time he posted that. ) Trump did say it, of course: Do you think states should monitor women’s pregnancies so they can know if they’ve gotten an abortion after the ban? Trump: I think they might do that. Again, you’ll have to speak to the individual states. Look, Roe v. Wade was all about bringing it back to the states. And that was a legal, as well as possibly in the hearts of some, in the minds of some, a moral decision. But it was largely a legal decision. Every legal scholar, Democrat, Republican, and other wanted that issue back at the states. You know, Roe v. Wade was always considered very bad law. Very bad. It was a very bad issue from a legal standpoint. People were amazed it lasted as long as it did. And what I was able to do is through the choice of some very good people who frankly were very courageous, the justices it turned out to be you know, the Republican— States will decide if they’re comfortable or not— Trump: Yeah the states— Prosecuting women for getting abortions after the ban. But are you comfortable with it? Trump: The states are going to say.
On January 5th, 2025, Drupal 7 will reach its end of life at 14 years old. But don't worry! The Drupal Association and the Drupal community are here to support you in getting ready for the upgrade to Drupal 10. What does end-of-life mean for you?Drupal 7 end-of-life means that the community will no longer be providing new features, bug-fixes, or security updates for Drupal 7. If you do not update before January 5th, 2025, security issues may be publicly disclosed without fixes or other support. The fact that the Israel-Palestine conflict grinds on without resolution might appear to be rather strange. For many of the world’s conflicts, it is difficult even to conjure up a feasible settlement. In this case, it is not only possible, but there is near universal agreement on its basic contours: a two-state settlement along the internationally recognized (pre-June 1967) borders — with “minor and mutual modifications,” to adopt official U.S. terminology before Washington departed from the international community in the mid-1970s. The basic principles have been accepted by virtually the entire world, including the Arab states (who go on to call for full normalization of relations), the Organization of Islamic States (including Iran), and relevant non-state actors (including Hamas). A... Read more Legal beagle Ryan Goodman points out that the actual trial transcript shows Hope Hicks’ final testimony is actually worse than was reported. He wrote on twitter: Trump not only communicates “it would have been bad to have that story come out before the election.” Trump also links it to Cohen hush money: “had Michael not made that payment.” I think you can see why she burst into tears a minute later. This revelation is damaging to Trump’s defense and she knew it. Hicks admits that Trump was worried about the election and backs up Cohen’s contention that Trump knew what the money was for before he reimbursed him. What’s the significance of that? Trump’s defense lawyer’s opening statement featured this: Apparently he didn’t know about this civil case (Daniels was trying to get released from her non-disclosure agreement) in which Trump and Cohen both admitted that Trump had reimbursed Cohen for the hush money. I guess they might try to blame the lawyer in that case but he’s not the kind of guy you want to mess with.* Andrew Weissman writes on twitter: Why Hicks is such a devastating witness against Trump: 1.

Yes, we know to take polling with a grain of salt right now. But the media went nuts over that outlier CNN poll showing Trump ahead six points. Crickets for these two legit polls in the past week. ABC/Ipsos today: Old vs young, rural vs urban, college vs non-college, Democrat vs Republican the usual (although the inverted old vs young is a little weird but I’d guess it’s Gaza.) However, there are some interesting observations. RFK pulls more from Trump which is the second poll that shows that. Self-identified moderates are for Biden, which is good, and the battleground is definitely still in the suburbs. About those swing states? It’s a tie: And it’s a 46-45% race in the seven expected swing states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Some other issues: Support for abortion rights remains widespread: Americans by 66-32% oppose the U.S. Supreme Court decision that did away with the constitutional right to abortion and by essentially the same margin say their own state should allow access to abortion in all or most cases.
Thousands of people from countries around the world have joined the war against Palestinians. The US recently threatened to impose sanctions on Netzah Yehuda, an Israeli army unit established around 25 years ago to integrate ultra-Orthodox men into the military. While the prospect of sanctions against this unit might appear to be a positive development, there are concerns that the Continue reading »
Is capitalism capable of long term meaningful reform? This is perhaps the most import of issues to address, given that environmental disaster is becoming an inevitability under the present watch of capitalism. When reading the recent articles in P&I by Michaël Keating on the need for a different approach to understand the impact of technology Continue reading »
Blinken knew exactly what he was doing, he could have delayed the release but he chose, instead to release the State Department’s “2023 Country Report” on the eve of his arrival in China. There’s plenty of media coverage on what he came for, the messages he wanted to deliver but the main thrust of his Continue reading »
In 1964, the first US Surgeon-General’s report on smoking and health was published. The tobacco industry could veto the proposed members of the committee set up to write it. Today, the idea of giving the tobacco industry power over government processes would cause outrage. Likewise, the idea of big businesses or unions setting tax policy Continue reading »
