Of course Milei was greeted in a Friendly manner by Meloni. Both are puppets of the American powers and Milei is now a valuable puppet. With all the oil revenues that are going to end in the pockets of the Wall Street executives there is a lot to be happy.

Yes, but the next government will put it on a bigger scale. Maybe it will not cost as much as the banks bailouts, but it will absorb a lot of money and the burden will fall as usual on the middle classes which make the majority of the population. Part of the burden may be deferred by piling up on the government debt, but eventually it will have to be paid by the usual ones.

This is just an observation of what's happening. As it says the Thatcher cycle is completed, the new cycle is beginning.

BTW It is interesting to note how the linked article accurately avoids to talk about the real issues and what is really triggering the protest.

The classic corporate driven edulcoration.

In Argentina there is the opposite cycle compared to the UK. Now It is time to privatise the profits.

The real crucial point are the oil revenues. For decades the government paid for the painful work to create the infrastructure to exploit the oil reserves in the basin of the Vaca Muerta in Patagonia. Now the oil fields are going to produce and produce profits. That is when Milei enters the scenes and decideds to sell everything to the privates. This is the moment when the fight is at its peak because the sale date is approaching.

Reposted because of an error in the title. It seems you cannot correct wrong titles.

 

The elections are approaching and the polls show that the conservative are trailing. Is it a surprise? The leader makes image of the party, how much can a rich guy of Indian origin connect with the British public? Not at all. There could still be the appeal to the other British indian, after all the statistics say that British of Asian descent make a big minority, but a big chunk of them originates from Pakistan and on them Sunak is likely to have the opposite effect. There is also the big share of British Indians who are concentrated in Urban areas where the rest of the population overwhemingly votes for labour, they won't bring any support. For what matters all the other voters Sunak is definitely not a popular character as was Boris Johnson when the Tories won the election.

What I say is quite obvious to the experts and the Tories have a team of very good analysts. Why are they sticking with Sunak? Because they want to lose, they could not carry out the work that must be done now. The privatisations of the Thatcher era have exhausted their purpose. Big finance extracted all the value they could squeeze from the privatised services and they now they hold big piles of debts. it's time to nationalise the losses.

It's not just Thames Water. The railways have been asking for money for quite some time. Wales and Scotland already nationalised the local networks. The rest of the work already started, now it's time to complete it.

Look at how the politician rise through the rank today. They depend on a captive media system and on social networks controlled by big business. The only politicians you can get are those who serve the purpose of those in power. Someone who wants to aim higher will never be able to run for election. It's just a dream.

It seems you don't get it. The purpose of the nationalisation is not to restore the services, but to take over the debts. After few decades they will be privatised again. This is just another cycle.

cause that shit had a litany of privacy and security issues

You don't solve that by using another program. You try to reduce the damage by using the torrent client in a dedicated virtual machine and reset the machine to the original image at regular intervals.

I never used TikTok so I'm commenting on the assumption that now things are the same everywhere.

I can believe that there is a lot of manipulated content. But then when it comes to decide which content is manipulated and which isn't most of the time the decision is the opposite of the truth, except for that content manipulated on purpose to provide the false alternative and trap the discussion between two falsehoods.

 

According to the news self driving trucks are about to hit the road with no driver on board.

But according to this book that is not going to happen. The author says that the real purpose is to get rid of the skilled drivers and replace them with underpaid button pushers.

Will they really do that? What's going to be the situation few years from now?
