Europe channeling like Inspector Renaud in Casablanca after "finding" gambling: "We are shocked" says a European source, this time about Orban blocking Sweden's Nato entry. Until when is Europe going to continue tolerating Orban's Trojan Horse act?

This outdated version of “environmentalism” needs to die.

RT by @lugaricano: A plea to the Western government.
Please listen and take action NOW.
This is how you save life of an innocent young Iranian protester who is going to be executed tomorrow morning.
#MohammadGhobadlou is only 23 and he deserves to have a normal life.
It’s 2024, but just last year, the Islamic regime in Iran killed more than 800 protesters. Their only crime was peacefully protesting the murder of #MahsaAmini and demanding freedom.
Now, another innocent prisoner is going to be executed tomorrow right after the morning pray. There’s no consequence for the Islamic regime, no punishment. So, they keep jailing and executing innocent people.
The problem is, Western countries and their leaders aren’t taking strong, effective action. Because of this, the Iranian people,m, who peacefully fight for freedom and democracy, are paying a high price. They’re being killed in the streets, suffering in prisons, or getting executed. Just condemning these acts isn’t enough. Words alone don’t save lives.
The European government must act NOW:
1) Expelling an Islamic Republic diplomat from European counties for every prisoner that they execute.
2) Adding 10 officials from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to the EU sanctions list for every prisoner murdered.
3) Stopping trade with Iran in certain products for each murdered prisoner.
I call on all members of the European Parliament to become political sponsors for these innocent prisoners and and take action immediately in order to send a strong message to the Islamic regime. When they see real consequences from the West, they’ll think twice.
This is how you save lives. This is how you support democracy and the struggle of people against authoritarian regimes.

Elizabeth line is the one brand new infrastructure project the UK has achieved in this century. And yet failures and delays are almost daily events
Past weekend, closed for repairs.
Today, closed for a broken train.
Why?

👉 When problems can be screened at low cost, some problems get passed on straight to those with the requisite knowledge to solve them (instead of the canonical hierarchy structure).

Brexit has reduced the freedom of citizens, for personal relations, for life, work or education . It has increased regulations, as the single market is an act of regulatory simplification.

RT by @lugaricano: John Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff for Donald Trump, rips his former boss:
“What can I add that has not already been said? A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them…
A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about…
A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.
There is nothing more that can be said. God help us.”

R to @lugaricano: It is true that the relative employment and wages for non-college grads has been increasing post-pandemic relative to college (Autor et al, Nov 2023). The reversal cuts 40% of the large previous increase in the wage premium of better paid workers.

R to @lugaricano: But that is not the main return to college!
The non-monetary (specially health!) payoff is more significant.
