Are central banks' inflation targeting policies fit for purpose?

Given the posited role of 'cheapflation' in the US & other elections, Ian Harnett (FT) argues a concern with 'core inflation' is misplaced; voters actually want price stability in everyday, retail goods & services; failure to deliver that can/has had significant political consequences.

While central bankers may want to see a 'bigger picture' their political masters are likely to now want them to change tack!

As Netanyahu faces mounting legal challenges and international scrutiny, it seems his political survival is becoming a game of legal dodgeball. Can he dodge enough to stay in the game, or will isolation be his next opponent? #Netanyahu #Israel #Politics #LegalWoes Source: https://theinformer.uk

Remembering Our Collective Back Story

..."The #American #Christian #fundamentalist version of the #EndTimes has a very powerful influence on American #politics today. Besides a literal belief in the events described in the Book of Revelation, these fundamentalists believe in a doctrine called dispensationalism, formulated by two 19th Century American preachers. This doctrine states that #Israel must exist as "...


How many people do you think understand, when they see the all the recent alerts about food in the U.S. being recalled for listeria, e coli, etc., that if the GOP has its way not only will there be no one in the government to investigate outbreaks, determine their sources, and issue recalls, there also will be no one to inspect factories to enforce the regulations which stop most foodborne illness outbreaks before they start.

Has any journalist spent any time or ink contemplating why Trump would appoint Gabbard as DNI?

Or what it means that she'll be supported by at least 90% of Republicans anyway?

Or what it means that the Biden administration isn't willing to take extraordinary steps to get relevant information into the hands of the public?

Stating she's an awful nominee isn't the job - we already know that. Explain what it means about those in power & national security going forward.

[Libération] - #ApologieDuTerrorisme : l’ex-juge antiterroriste #MarcTrévidic dénonce un «usage dévoyé de la loi».

Un an après les attaques du Hamas en Israël, le nombre de signalements et plaintes pour «apologie du #terrorisme» a explosé. L’ancien juge, qui s’était positionné pour un renforcement des sanctions, dénonce aujourd’hui un «véritable abus».

Kamal Adwan Hospital director in worsening condition after being hit by Israeli quadcopter drone


Read it again, he wasn’t hit by shrapnel, he was hit by the wave of an explosion, he wasn’t hit by a Palestinian resistance, he was hit by an Israeli IDF soldier operating a drone shooting at a doctor inside a hospital.

You can love Israel as much as you want, but watching such disgusting crimes happen day after day without you responding, says more about **YOU ** than it does about Israel.
What does it take for the world to say enough is enough?

The International Criminal Court (ICC) stunned Israel by issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defense chief Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the 13-month-old Gaza conflict. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/24/world/politics/legal-threats-israel-netanyahu-wars/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #benjaminnetanyahu #icc


"I think for many people the penny has dropped over #Gaza. They're seeing this total support for a genocide on the part of their governments, and people are shocked."

British historian Mark Curtis says watching their governments give total support to a genocide has led to a once in a generation politicization of people in the West.

1/Earlier this evening, I was joined by my great friend and renowned Canadian journalist, David Krayden on The Sami Parvez Show. We discussed Friday's incident in Montreal, where chaos erupted as protesters smashed windows, set vehicles on fire, and clashed with police during a pro-Palestinian, anti-NATO demonstration. Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau was dancing at a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto. #cdnpoli #polcan #FreedomConvoy #politics #journalism #ethics #journalist

Here is part of a long essay about “The American Dream”…
________________________________

The foundation of any successful society is an effective healthcare system based around a simple objective  —  to provide the best service at the *lowest* possible cost and to guarantee access to every member of society. This objective ensures that healthcare provides the greatest good for the greatest number.

The American healthcare system is set up to provide the best healthcare at the *highest* possible cost — because this is what enables individuals to extract the most amount of wealth from the industry. And whether it serves the needs of everyone is irrelevant.

That’s why it’s so inefficient. A large chunk of the $4.2 trillion spent on healthcare in the US isn’t spent on healthcare. It’s spent on an industry that has been created to profit from people’s health.

As the graph shows, among high-income nations, the US is an anomaly in that it has the highest spending and the lowest life expectancy.

Healthcare in America is designed as a mechanism for creating wealth, not for creating a system that provides the best possible healthcare.

I'm in the middle of this new #podcast series, which has nothing to do with #politics nor the chaotic period we're living through--and, it's grounded in #science. Yet, in an odd and unexpected way, it's giving me #hope for the future: https://thetelepathytapes.com

(My husband is a huge #skeptic for things out of the ordinary, and even he is wow'd by this series.)


#MaralagoJoe and Mika may have just put the last nail in the coffin of #MSNBC which had been in a pretty bad place already. I wonder how their colleagues are gonna treat them when they lose their multi-million dollar contracts thanks to their cowardice ...

Ten years after the Islamic State launched a bloody assault on Iraq’s Yazidi religious minority, hundreds remain missing.

On this podcast, Reuters Iraq Bureau Chief Timour Azhari travels through the regions destroyed by ISIS, and speaks with the Yazidis still trying to find their missing loved ones.

Even on #Gaza, #Poilievre = #Harper

"Harper has no time for the International Court of Justice’s conclusions on Israel’s genocidal intent in Gaza and Amnesty International on Israeli apartheid.....believes that Israel’s presence in the Middle East will trigger a nuclear apocalypse to return Jesus Christ to Earth, precipitating the “rapture” described in the Bible’s Book of Revelation."
