I am depressed.
Helen Haines
Everybody loves Helen Haines. In a sense it is understandable. She is an independent and thus unlikely to be in government and so can enunciate her views without fear or favour. Now someone has tried to kill her. It is appalling.
French riots
It seems no-one is sure who is behind the riots in France. Mike Johnson and Emmanuel Macron blame far lefits. flags of the hammer and sickle would seem to indicate that might have a kernel of truth. However our own public intellectual (sarc) Barnaby Joyce blames immigration and islamists. He produced no evidence as usual to back up his claim. most of the protesters looks white to me and the journos covering it. A coalition of islamists and commies is so far fetched that it even defies the pub test. Barnaby it is people like you not 'THEM' that are to blame.
Whoopsy I should have added riots in france over politics has been going on since at least 1968. Obviously some people have not known this.
The USA becomes an ally of Russia.
Tom Nicholls is correct in his synopsis.People have long speculated on why Trump sides with Putin. Remember trump is very stupid but thinks he is bright. That is manna from heaven to a former KGB agent.
Now something to cheer up with. Alex Tabarrok says no to AI crowding out. only problem is whether we are in a speculative AI 'boom'. For example it is absurd to argue the tulip boom did not crowd out investment. Investors were wrong in their investment decisions then. They might be now.
