    While London expanding its Ultra Low Emissions Zone is one of the reasons Khan is in trouble(seeking a third term is another), the Manchester Mayor may be cruising towards a third term. Surprised on that one, Andy Burnham is anti small business when it comes to Public Transport. Al bus operators outside of London were deregulated under Thatcher, under Johnson, the local authorities were given the option of franchising like London. So far under the transition, It is small and medium enterprises have lost out. Not all of the big companies that one are UK based.

    >> Snitches can submit photos to back up their reports. So, men can lurk in men’s bathrooms taking surreptitious photos of men and boy’s private parts under the guise of searching to document any instances of a trans man using the men’s room. Sure, there are laws that prohibit taking pictures of people in restrooms, but this implies the lose of privacy is needed to protect Utahans from the threat of trans people using the “wrong” bathroom.

    In the UK Local Elections, the count for London Mayor is in. Despite being unpopular, the Tories eliminating the Supplementary Vote, and even now requiring Photo ID, Khan won a 3rd Term.

    Jerome Powell, Trump’s pick to head the Federal Reserve, isn’t a trained economist either.

    Economic advisers and policymakers are politicians, dummy. Like politicians in general, they have a wide variety of backgrounds.

    Nearly two weeks after the British Conservative Party pushed through a proposal to deport asylum-seekers to Rwanda in what one lawyer called “performative cruelty” in the name of winning the general election expected later this year, the local election results announced throughout the day Friday made increasingly clear the ploy hadn’t worked. Elections expert John Curtice projected the Tories could ultimately lose up to 500 local council seats as vote counting continues into the weekend, following elections in which voters cast ballots for 2,661 seats.

    According to MMT, governments do not need to worry about accumulating debt in and of itself since they create new money by using fiscal policy in order to pay interest. MMT argues that the primary risk once the economy reaches full employment is inflation, which acts as the only constraint on spending. MMT also argues that inflation can be addressed by increasing taxes on everyone to reduce the spending capacity of the private sector.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_monetary_theory

    Assuming this works, the flaw is trying to raise taxes in a democratic system. That’s awfully difficult to do politically and invariably takes the form of wanting to raise other people’s taxes.

    But in traditional economics, tax cuts for the rich doesn’t work so well, either. You get bigger deficits, more debt, and no trickle-down.

    But in traditional economics, tax cuts for the rich doesn’t work so well, either. You get bigger deficits, more debt, and no trickle-down.

    You also get one of the drivers of the inflation the U.S. is experiencing right now.

    By financing an historically unprecedented gigantic tax cut for the wealthy with pure government debt Republicans pumped a massive increase in money supply into the economy and concentrated it where it would produce the most inefficient and most inflationary spending.

    Lots of investment in 5,000 square foot trash places, butt implants, cosmetic dentistry, dog jewelry, and space tourism.

    No investment in new affordable housing starts, family/pediatric clinics, domestic manufacturing of durable goods, etc.

    Republicans can’t be trusted with a modern economy.

    Everybody catch that? Increasing taxes on everyone. That means Queen YLB’s fucked kids get to pay higher taxes so that they’ll spend less. And stay in Momma YLB’s smelly basement.

    Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, what is the fine for teaching The Macarena without a proper university degree in Dance Studies? I assume the penalty isn’t prison, at least not for the first offense.

    “We await to see whether, in effect, [Hamas] can take ‘yes’ for an answer on the ceasefire and release the hostages. And the reality in this moment is the only thing standing between the people of Gaza and a ceasefire is Hamas.“

    Some of you must be shocked to read that.

    More Blinken blaming Hamas:

    “In the meantime, even as we are doing that, we are working every single day, the president is working every single day, to make sure that we are doing what we can so that the people in Gaza who are caught in a crossfire of Hamas’s is making, get the help, the assistance, the support they need.”

    Don’t Talk To The Police Dep’t

    In California, a company that provides advice and training to police departments teaches cops that before telling relatives a person has been killed by police, they should get “as much information as possible” about the victim.

    They’re playing dirty pool. A reporter who started looking into this practice discovered the police use this tactic to fight lawsuits brought by families of police shooting victims.

    So if police come to your door and start asking questions about a family member, you should ask questions, not answer them. Your first response should be, “what’s going on?” Be suspicious of their motives. Cops aren’t on your side.

    WASHINGTON — As President Joe Biden ramps up his re-election effort, his campaign is also scaling back how much he says on the trail, part of a larger new strategy to hone a sharper message he’ll take into the general election, according to Biden aides.

    The less-is-more approach aims for quality over quantity when it comes to the president’s public appearances, aides said.

    “There’s a strategic advantage at this point in the race to boiling down your message to the three or four most salient, compelling arguments for why President Biden should be re-elected,” said TJ Ducklo, the Biden campaign’s senior adviser for communications. “That will often translate to the stump [speech] being whittled down to its sharpest, most dynamic form. That’s what you’re seeing.”

    The approach also has the appearance of a strategy aimed at minimizing the potential for Biden to make mistakes in a razor-close election. Some of Biden’s verbal missteps have occurred when he’s talking at length, veers off the prepared text or answers a reporter’s question when that wasn’t part of the plan.

    God forbid the senile POS might have to speak contemporaneously to a question here and there. It’s why he won’t sit for an interview with the far-right New York Times.

    His handlers are hiding him walking across the White House lawn and by October he’ll be prevented from speaking unless he’s been injected with his special pharmaceutical cocktail first.

    But he’ll be out of the running by the time the DNC convention wraps up, so October does not really matter.

  51. 51

    I’m starting to think that republicans are no longer the law and order party. Or the party of family values. Or fiscal responsibility. Or small government and individual freedom.

    Well…. That’s what Republicans say they are for. But this is how they act.

    Law & Order means locking up blacks and Latin Americans for aggressively long sentences.

    Family Values means banning abortions.

    Fiscal Responsibility means cutting funding to food stamps, and any other social program that helps the poors.

    Small Government means removing the power to regulate corporations, or stand up to individual states when they violate constitutional rights.

    This is still the GOP platform. Vote Blue

    But he’ll be out of the running by the time the DNC convention wraps up, so October does not really matter.

  53. 53

    The approach also has the appearance of a strategy aimed at minimizing the potential for Biden to make mistakes in a razor-close election.

    The alternative strategy being to give a series of extended challenging in-person print interviews in which the candidate threatens to monitor vaginas, exterminate voting, and otherwise metaphorically bites the heads off live rats all to satisfy an ego driven need to get his photo on the cover of a magazine that does not actually exist anymore.

    TLDR: Republican crybabies are big-mad cuz Joe Biden is a more skillful candidate.

    Among the top three passenger cars sold in California in the first quarter this year, Elon Musk’s Tesla Model 3 dropped from first place to third, behind the Toyota Camry and the Honda Civic, according to the California New Car Dealers Association’s first quarter auto outlook on Monday.

    Musk is facing significant pressure from investors who want to see him adopt the norms of a more traditional CEO, step back from his grandiose social media presence, and provide a more concrete timeline for producing an affordably priced Tesla. The company reported last week that revenues dropped 9%, which was its largest drop since 2012, while net income dropped a whopping 55% in the first quarter. Three of its top executives, including well-known insider Drew Baglino, resigned in the space of two weeks, which further rattled investors.

    A small parenthetical point, which is some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature.

    …then low wage workers are ALREADY overpaying into the system in terms of their absurdly low wages.

    So, either raise the min hourly wage and the min salary to qualify for exemption to levels that produce the targeted tax revenues,

    For some reason the idiots in California thought it would be a good idea to post drone footage of a bridge over which light rail might someday be built, if Californians can steal another $100B fro m US taxpayers.

    Right now it’s just a bridge in the middle of nowhere, 1600 feet long, with nothing at either end and nothing on it except surface concrete.

  62. 62

    Bonzonomics benefited the rich period..

    Not “period”.

    Supply side also did something much worse that produces follow on effects that permanently suppress growth in critical ways.

    Supply side economic policy concentrates economic investments in areas of the economy that are both highly inefficient at the start, and that grow increasingly inefficient over time. The inefficiencies grow twofold in that expansion of inefficient sectors grows inefficiency directly, but also since as a larger portion of net productivity is increasingly invested in those inefficient sectors, growth of productivity declines in response. Investors, seeking profit growth and income, starve all sectors where labor inefficiencies permit it and price gouge where market inefficiencies permit it to further concentrate profit taking in those sectors.

    Supply side is a self-licking ice cream cone of economic collapse.
    And nearly every economist who claimed to embrace it admitted as much. Far more than government deficit spending, supply side economics produces a short term money high for the very few, while consigning the overall economy to steady decline when measured in terms of median standard of living.

    There’s a very simple reason why a majority of US voters feel like the economy is going in the wrong direction.

    67)Plus, he’s confused, my earlier post was about the other HSR project in California. There’s two, the one that broke ground last week will be running between Vegas and Rancho Cucamunga. Eventually will tie in with the other one. The Vegas one is from the same people behind Brightline in Florida. A private operator, that once again has showed Amtrak something new. The new trains that will replace the TALGOs, Brightline Florida was there US Launch Customer.

    No problem with this private competition, especially since it uses the Florida East Coast Railway, My only problem is that they got a partnership with the Miami Heat. I m loyal to the Magic myself. They took the series to 7, will be better next year.

  79. 79

    the one that broke ground last week will be running between Vegas and Rancho Cucamunga..

    And that one is supposedly privately funded or mostly privately funded. Somehow I think when it’s done… It’s a slow roll through Cajon Pass like it is for freight and then there’s some steep grades after that. I saw a video a ways back and I can’t recall all that many details.

    Either way, that road to Vegas is insane. Even a not so high speed rail would be an improvement over driving that road.

    IMO, if you can fly there, fly. But the HSR if priced just right will be SRO..

  80. 80

    79)Unfortunately a transfer to Metrolink, but still a slow run to LAUPT. NO Amtrak to Vegas since the LA to SLC Desert Wind. Vegas developed late into UP’s passenger era. For them, it had long been a water stop for locomotives. They did try GM’s Aerotrain out, but the stylists at the auto division’s futuristic locomotive was an underpowered EMD switcher, it needed a helper that had to be cut off at Summit. Also heard the Aerotrain had poor ride quality, ended its days in commuter service on the Rock Island.

  81. 81

    The infamous GM Aerotrain, besides an underpowered locomotive, GM had the bright idea to use coaches adapted from Intercity buses.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerotrain_(GM)

    Wasn’t GM’s first idea for a futuristic passenger train. There was also the Train of Tomorrow, based on an idea an EMD employee got while riding one of their locomotives being used by Denver and Rio Grande in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado. He loved the view, and figured people would pay a lot for the view from the Fireman’s seat. The Dome Car was a result, but the Burlington stole GM’s thunder. They heard about the GM demo, and had their own shops convert a coach in the shop into the first Dome Car. The coach’s snake? Just happened to be Silver Alchemy,

  83. 83

    Interesting demo for a hybrid locomotive operation. UP converting a Slug to be a battery tender. Makes sense, usually it’s concrete ballast where the engine used to be on a slug. Slugs are used in low speed applications where tractive effort is needed more than horsepower. The former locomotive used in such applications still has its traction motors. The Milwaukee used them as helpers on the Tacoma Gulch route, a hill that was always a tough one with 3% grades.

    It’s no coincidence at all. That’s what Republican supply side policy does by concentrating investment in areas of the economy that are fundamentally inefficient.

    Government policy should focus on encouraging future investment in those areas of the economy that are the most efficient.

    And we should measure efficiency first in terms of how well investments produce a rise in median standard of living, and NOT in terms of gross profits to rent seekers and other parasites.

    Saturday night desperately poor fake billionaire Rapist hosted a fundraiser for 400 elite, very wealthy guests who each paid at least $40,000 each to hear and see the Republican nominee celebrate armed and violent rioters who attacked and killed police officers as “patriots” and “heroes”.

    And all of your favorite global media brands instead trained all their focus on vandalized campus buildings and libraries.

    These media brands don’t tell America what to think.

    They tell America what to think about.

    And so therefore what not to think about.

    And it’s very clear that it is very important to all these giant media brands and platforms that Americans don’t think about or discuss the Republican Party’s embrace of violent extremism. It’s not just about the J6 terrorists. It’s 217 pages of death threats to a NY judge and his clerk. It’s organizing armed thugs on Facebook to attack polling places. It’s urging Republican voters to take up arms and attack the government when they lose at the ballot box. It’s threatening to shoot a President’s German Shepherd.

    It’s everywhere all the time now from every Republican.
    And Comcast and AT&T DO NOT want America to think about it or talk about it.

    But don’t anyone go around saying Republican economic policies don’t work. They work just fine for what they’re designed for, which is putting more money in the pockets of rich people. Republicans don’t care about anyone else.,
