I hate that most places strip the right to vote from the incarcerated. They are still humans and they are still citizens, and they should retain the right to petition their government. Especially since the govt often tends to abuse this population.

Tuesday was our busiest day on public transport since 2019 (pre covid), 7000 trips higher than the previous busiest day which was two weeks ago. This Tuesday (18 March) patronage was 7% higher than it was last Tuesday. It’s great to see more people choosing public transport and trying it out.

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅 (BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)
Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.

The last sentence might sound like semantics, but it's important. Govt spending adds cash to the economy (we get richer) and Govt taxation takes it away again (we get poorer). Govt 'borrow' by creating cash and spending it. The more $ Govt spend, the more $ we have to pay taxes. A simple truth.
BBC article...
How will the government fund scrapping the two-child benefit cap?
published at 06:56 27 November
06:56 27 November

Andy Verity
BBC Economics correspondent

A question from Abi Knowles asks about the two-child benefit cap being removed - how does the government plan to fund this?

Government funds aren't like ours; they don't tax people in order to stick it into a savings account and thereby pay doctors and nurses or benefits.

However, if you're talking about whether they have enough, comfortably, you've got £26 billion of tax rises in this Budget.

That's more than enough to cover the £2.5bn it would cost to lift the two-child limit.

Rachel Reeves has clearly taken the view that the benefit of lifting 450,000 children out of poverty is well worth it.

It's important to remember that public finances are not like household finances.

The government doesn't have to first find the money before it spends it. It spends the money into existence in the economy and then taxes it back out.
