At least we know, i guess. When before it was probably #EyesWideShut Everything seems fake now apart from the #corruption - & on the bright side, people seem to enjoy their manifest hyperreality.

Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

Can't speak for Reform, sorry. Coming at this from broader pov. UK has problems. If someone, whoever, thinks there are answers then I'm interested in discussing viability of those ideas. I do think the UK government should plan ahead for #AI & strong unions would be start.

Thanks. I don't know about employment details (clearly!). But I do question globalism, mainly because I see it as a consequence of neoliberalism (ie 'free' market of workers). Third world countries mainly lose out right now. It disempowered workers unions imo.

Thanks for the correction on pay, though nb there are exceptions, salary discounts etc. But my question first perhaps? We have eg high youth unemployment. Doctors are leaving. Soon #AI will take jobs. What's good about hiring more workers from abroad?

Not sure proportional representation is the answer when lots of people don't vote. A mandatory voting system, as in Austrailia & with an emphasis on social responsibility, is surely the first & best step forward?

Unfortunately, tech in the form of social media does thwart human progress most fundamentally: people now prefer artificial worlds to real life, which no longer gives them meaning & not in terms of the material aspects you cite. Imo its little to do with money or school policy. It's interrelational.

The terms 'right wing' & 'left wing' are so outdated. The political landscape is so much more complex in the west. There are no such strict divides anymore. It's much more appropriate to discuss issues with ref to class, education, religion & all in the general context of prog liberalism.

These 'military operations' ie wars like Russia against Ukraine, mainly have consequences to people living there & also their neighbours. There will be death, followed by political turmoil & another wave of immigration, usually northwards & often into Europe. Does this war make America feel safer?

'Let's build something real': great video. New ideas definitely needed. Key to understanding political failure frm neoliberal stranglehold imo is our atomisation into individual consumers. Even the Green party puts individual rights above the 'common good': the idea of care needs human connections.

China does the former. Western lib democracies largely the latter. But BOTH systems rely on one basic similarity -average maths scores. The normal. My point: any 'Politics of care' must be based on real measures. Science/research led policy that is discussed, with a clear aim.
