My thoughts exactly

Yeah, Drump won because, by and large, eligible voters didn't bother to vote

Ah, of course, that icon of non partisan high brow news and information the World Socialist Web Site

Oh right, the ol' BLF is at it again. Most corrupt union in existence teasing the lefties.

There's simply no where to go. Veer left and suddenly you are without your big money donors, the media and any chance of success. The narrative is completely controlled by the right wing dominated media (old media and new) and large donors with a huge incentive to support the status quo.

So, really, Trump won because people simply didn't bother to show up.

That's in Ruzzian Rubles, in the civilized world we refer to that as: two flat stones.

Invest in you old age: Superannuation or some other savings device. You need to put on as much as you possibly can as soon as you can but this needn't mean you plow all your income into it straight away. Transfer or invest as little as $20 per week initially, you'll never miss it and after a few weeks or months keep increasing the amount till you've reached your ceiling. Reinvest your earnings or dividends, compound interest is a beautiful thing.

You mean: Stephen Christopher Yaxley or possibly Andrew McMaster or perhaps Paul Harris or Wayne King (giggity) or even Stephen Lennon? My God this weirdo can't even decide what to call himself. How about we just agree to call him a fascist dickhead? I think that's appropriate.

Wow, they certainly don't fuck around do they?

Of course he is, I knows his chances of actually winning the popular vote is next to zero (again) so he's doing everything he can to try and save his orange arse. Because he knows that if he doesn't win then the best he can hope for is spending the next four years inside a variety of courthouses.

This is not my beautiful house, this is not my beautiful wife..!

You're sorta right. The economies of sovereign nations are not particularly similar to small households, however continuously incurring debt without raising significant revenue will kneecap a country's economy (eg the UK). Rather than focusing exclusively on debt the IMF should be strongly encouraging countries like the UK to drive up revenue by all means. The most obvious way of doing this is by raising taxes. The IMF is, however, in the thrall of big money which is fundamentally opposed to tax's.

That's what happens if you don't change his diaper

Same. They really capture the psychedelic nature of the song.

This is, hands down, the greatest version of this song.

Powerpop. What's not to like? Jangly guitars, vocal harmonies and killer hooks.

It's called a BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion) and they'the things of nightmares.

How easy would it be for a foreign power to use inexpensive bot nets to amplify misinformation on a truly industrial scale on what are, essentially, unregulated social media platforms? Turns out the results are in and (a) it's very easy and (b) it's incredibly effective at sowing distrust and fear.

It's time to regulate social media folks. The "free speech" excuse has been proven demonstrably false by Musk, Zuckerberg et al.
