Thursday


Cults

From a No More Mister Nice post - Rush and Pence discussing Trump's upcoming Florida gathering.
RUSH: No, let me explain that. It’s just a guy at a microphone, a guy at a podium.
tnb......  "yeah, just like Jim Jones."


American Corrupitalism

The KPMG cheating scandal was much more widespread than originally thought



War

War - Israel vs Palestine

Vox: This chart shows every person killed in the Israel-Palestine conflict since 2000





The Economy


Inflation Is Dead: What’s Needed to Reanimate It?
What would it take to bump inflation back to life—that is, above 2% yearly? Surging population growth with young people vastly outnumbering retirees, emerging market labor costs on a par with those in the West and Japan, and technology advances reaching a place where it’s not displacing any more workers. Oh, and perhaps a return of labor unions.
tnb.... I'd add more income/wealth equality.  


2020

Ian Welsh with a pretty good take on the D's that I like - Bernie Sanders vs. Elizabeth Warren



Politics - Death of the Reagan Regime?

A good series here on the death of the Reagan regime and the future of politics in the US, from Jack Balkin at Balkinization. Read them all.




2024 !? 

The 2024 campaign has started and Nikki Haley has Israel's vote.
