The stimulus opponents’ argument boils down to this striking claim: When the government spends borrowed funds now, consumers will realize that the resulting debt spells higher taxes in the future, which will lead them to curtail their current spending. Those cutbacks will offset the increased government spending dollar for dollar, leaving no net stimulus … […]

It has recently come to my attention via internet outrage that I am in what is considered a “mixed-weight” marriage. Magazines, podcasts, and CNN are judging women who outweigh their husbands, even though Bridgerton said it was okay.
But internet trolls say that it is absolutely not okay, expressing their disgust in ALL CAPS. So, before my husband hears of this controversy and suddenly realizes I am not as thin as I was when we got married, I’m prepared to prevent him from fleeing using these tricks:

As students head back to school, one of the largest payment processors in the world is fighting to protect the millions it makes upcharging parents on school meals.
The riots that broke out following the appalling murder of children in Southport did not come out of nowhere — they were the reflections of a global far-right surge whose loud footsteps were already being heard across the world. In Britain, anti-migrant ideology and sentiment was confronted by leftist, pro-migrant counterdemonstrations, which the progressive wings […]
Out of the 10,641 convictions for sexual offence cases last year, at least 7,500 were related to the abuse of children under the age of 18 - 1,635 involved victims who were under 13
. Angesichts der Ergebnisse der jüngsten Landtagswahlen in Deutschland gibt es allen Grund, Schröters Ansichten sehr ernst zu nehmen. Andernfalls besteht ein großes Risiko, dass populistische Extremistenparteien wie die AfD und die BSW weiterhin ihre Positionen ausbauen.

However, such ‘leverage’ can pose risks to financial stability.

On Monday, the first day of our academic year, I went to a demonstration. The reason for the demonstration are the announced budget cuts for higher education, which our new right/extreme-right government wants to implement. The figures aren’t set in stone yet, but the financial appendix that was presented when the new government took office […]
Today (September 4, 2024), the Australian Bureau of Statistics released the latest – Australian National Accounts: National Income, Expenditure and Product, June 2024 – which shows that the Australian economy grew by just 0.2 per cent in the June-quarter 2024 and by just 1 per cent over the 12 months (down from 1.5 per cent).…
He tried. Oh how he tried: The long line there was the Special Counsel he had Bill Barr name to “investigate the investigators” — the Durham investigation. Like all the others they came to nothing because there was nothing. He, on the other hand, tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection and then stole a bunch of classified documents and refused to give them back. Big difference. Yuge.

Gosh, I wonder? The leader of House Republicans’ biggest super PAC told donors last month he needed $35 million more to compete with Democrats in the fall. Senate GOP campaign chair Steve Daines used his primetime speaking slot at the Republican convention to lament that massive spending from Democrats was keeping him awake at night. And his House GOP counterpart warned that their party’s challengers trailed Democratic incumbents by a collective $37 million at the end of June. Republicans were already worried about a glaring financial gap even before Kamala Harris’ rise. Now, with the election just two months away, they found themselves in an even more dire position: Democrats have seen a flood of enthusiasm in recent weeks, they’re far outspending Republicans on air and their donors are more energized than ever — with campaign finance data showing a surge in grassroots fundraising in late July after President Joe Biden dropped out. Panic is starting to set in.
