Ο Τραμπ αναμένει πως ο κόσμος θα διχαστεί: Μια ομάδα υποτακτικών χωρών (π.χ. της Ευρώπης και η Ιαπωνία) θα βοηθά στη μείωση του εμπορικού ελλείμματος των ΗΠΑ κρατώντας το δολάριο χαμηλά και αγοράζοντας περισσότερα αμερικανικά αγαθά, ενέργεια και όπλα ● Και μια δεύτερη ομάδα (π.χ. Κίνα και Ρωσία) θα παραμένει εκτός της στρατιωτικής ομπρέλας των […]

Britain will never truly change for the better as long as Britain's deeply unfair voting system remains in place, argues Neal Lawson
Trump’s return isn’t just chaos, it’s a calculated strategy. While liberals dismiss him, Trump understands raw economic power in a way centrists fail to grasp. What is his master plan, and how could it backfire? Meanwhile, Musk & other billionaires are the new ruling class. As capitalism dies, we enter technofeudalism, where corporate overlords control […]

The spread of war in Europe is now a greater possibility than it has been since the height of the Cold War, writes AC Grayling
As I type this, Trump is threatening tariffs on anyone who challenges the interests of America’s technology oligarchs, all of whom are now paying obeisance at this court. Technology is the US biggest weapon against the free world of which it was formerly part, and the right place to fight back. But what can be done? I’ll […]
40 years ago today the Daily Mail carried a front page picture of police officers carrying me away from a Miners Strike rally in Whitehall. I mightn’t have known, but a friend of my sister’s told her, having recognized me, with glee, when her dad picked the paper up at the breakfast table. (I never […]
To all Starfleet personnel,
It is with great enthusiasm that we announce Starfleet’s commitment to moving beyond so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and embracing a post-bias future where everything is fine and no one needs to think too hard about it.
For too long, our DEI programs have distracted us from our true mission: boldly going where no one has gone before, while ensuring the same five conventionally attractive humans get the best bridge assignments.
Effective immediately, the following programs will be discontinued:

What political economy approach can reveal the internal relations of exploitation and expropriation through a focus on related class struggles and broader alliances across the spheres of production and social reproduction?

The pessimism, wrong track numbers and general vibes on the economy are already low so I will be surprised if these layoffs don’t turbo charge the negative vibe. (I’ve been surprised by this stuff before, so don’t take my word for it…) Anyway, here are some predictions from economists: The job cuts could ultimately be the biggest in U.S. history. IBM’s purge of about 60,000 workers in 1993 is thought to be the largest corporate layoff. The Trump administration’s purge of federal workers may ultimately amount to the biggest job cut in U.S. history, which is likely to have ramifications for the economy, especially at the local level, according to economists. […] There were about 220,000 federal employees with less than a year of tenure as of May 2024, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Additionally, more than 75,000 federal workers have accepted a buyout offer, according to a Trump administration official. They agreed to resign but get paid through September.
“Billionaire Elon Musk issued an ultimatum to federal employees Saturday, saying in a post on his social media platform X that employees must respond to an email justifying the work they completed this week or resign.” — NBC News

The spirit of innovation is back in the White House. After decades of bureaucratic stagnation, the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been given a sweeping mandate to streamline operations and eliminate government waste, which is why I’m demanding that all three million federal workers stop what they’re doing and write an email that no one will read.
When James Murdoch was considering marrying Kathryn Hufschmid, he invited her to meet his family while they were holidaying on a super yacht off the coast of Australia. During the holiday, she caught Rupert cheating at Monopoly. Murdoch just smirked and shrugged. This morsel is from an article just published in the Atlantic by McKay Continue reading »
“Don’t send that little red Pommie Commie up here again!” That was the message from Toowoomba in Queensland after a visit by activist Wendy Turner, who had migrated from England as a young mum in 1977 to live in what journalist Chris Masters called “The Moonlight State”; Queensland during the reign of Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
