Ooh, that looks good.

That's lathe and plaster baby. Get good at finishing work if you ever want it to look right.

So Democrats too right? Considering they're generally laser focused on the urban professional class and maintaining existing market dynamics with a big push on things like student loan forgiveness that would give zero assistance to workers while largely hanging them out to dry whenever labor disputes pop up. There's not a party that represents these folks interests so they default to identity politics. Byzantine chariot race politics at least had patronage that meant supporters were getting some sort of gain.

This dudes main contribution that I can see is some sort of attempt to peg happiness to income so we can figure out just how many bread and circuses the proles need for us to keep them content. Like yeah, Trump is operating well outside of the lines by talking about grocery prices going down, but these dudes have been going full ham about how income inequality is actually a healthy thing.

He's just lying dude. There's nothing to be that shocked about. I figure a Brookings economist would be familiar with these things. Maybe not since neoliberals seem to have some sort of massive aversion to ever contemplating material reasons for these things.

Hasn't been one in the anglosphere in general for a long time. The NDP is the closest but they've given up their working class cred years ago. And labor, well, if Blair didn't convince you they were a lost cause Starmer will. I'm not familiar enough with auspol but I'd imagine the trend holds.

That just increases the margin for smugglers. Even there the level of debt bondage and lack of payment for mules is terrible. Not much in the way of unions in criminal enterprises.

 

“I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said at the fundraiser

 
 
 

A center-left group in the U.S. sees a valuable lesson in the landslide victory of Britain’s Labour Party after nearly 15 years in the political wilderness.

The centrist Democrat think tank Third Way argues in a memo obtained Friday by POLITICO that Labour’s sweeping win shows that “centrism wins elections” and can undercut right-wing populism by appealing to the broadest segment of the population with a credible platform.

 

Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like "what is Congress" with a push notification is not the best plan

 

President Biden told a Democratic lawmaker and members of his Cabinet after the State of the Union address that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they will need to have a “come-to-Jesus meeting.”

Biden’s comments, captured on a hot mic as he spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on the floor of the House chamber, came after Bennet congratulated the commander in chief on his speech and pressed him to keep pressure on Netanyahu over increasing humanitarian issues in Gaza.
