So tickets are STILL at least twice as expensive post-Reagan regardless of what metric you use? Quelle surprise..

Summary

Donald Trump is upset after King Charles warmly welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Sandringham, making Trump’s own state visit invitation seem “less special.”

Trump’s allies allegedly asked the British government to intervene, but officials stated the king makes his own decisions.

Relations may also be strained by Trump’s criticism of Canada, where Charles remains head of state.

The U.K. government denied tensions, reaffirming strong U.S.-U.K. ties.

Corporate profits are higher than ever largely because corporations have been able to get greater productivity out of workers without increasing pay. If wages had kept up with productivity, profits wouldn't be nearly as high.

collapsed inline media

the reason this is a mystery to so many mainstream economists is because they don't want to reconcile with one simple fact: in order for profits to keep going up, worker wages must be suppressed while also increasing productivity.

That, and they don't want to/are psychologically incapable of the self-awareness required to admit their own complicity in the increasing oppression and exploitation of the very people without whom everything falls apart.

Why do you think so many billions of dollars are being spent on AI development? Many see it as the key to ever increasing profits, because the worker, and their pesky demand for adequate compensation can be removed entirely.

Spot on again.

Except corporate profits are higher than they've ever been. Only thing falling is the workers' share of the obscene dragons hoards of riches.

Yes. undoes edit 😁

Summary

The Trump administration is facing backlash after reports that the Defense Department flagged over 26,000 images for deletion due to alleged connections to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Among them are photos of trailblazing pilots, including the Tuskegee Airmen and Col. Jeannie Leavitt.

Most controversially, an image of the WWII aircraft Enola Gay was flagged, seemingly because its name includes the word "gay."

The revelation has sparked mockery online, with critics calling this "the STUPIDEST administration in American history."

Not a day goes by without a blow administered by Donald Trump to the terrible Wokist-Sorororist octopus! The White House leader today signed the decree officially switching the United States to the Cyrillic alphabet, ending the dark age of Latin script on America's sunny Gulf coasts.

"You know who uses Latin letters? Mexicans and Colombians, who bring us drugs. Why use a crackhead alphabet when there's a great one, absolutely wow, invented by two monks. The monks aren't druggies, they're not Mexicans, they don't eat dogs. That's it. From now on, anyone who writes in Latin eats cats. Canadians. You're effectively the last Canadians," Trump said, alluding to his earlier war against Mexicans who eat dogs and cats after marinating them overnight in a drug-laced, super-proven and verified drug bath.

Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed Trump's upright gesture and sent him a gift of a set of colored pencils produced at the famous "Pobeda" stationery factory in Pasholnahuisk.
