Pretty weird article in the Economist on (and against) free public transport. Immediately after saying it has no effect on increasing usage, it blames it for causing major increase in delays due to... increased usage. It goes on to say it doesn't help poor people because rich bankers could benefit

Whenever I saw this roadsign, I thought massive boulders were going to fall on our car. Playing donkey Kong probably didn't help.

This really does look like the Minister had sadly died, rather than... opened a cycle path

Confession: I had to put that comment to AI to understand it. I got a pretty good explainer though! I did wonder whether the causal path of this point might be the reverse though:

Social Democrat, Libertarian globalist, unsurprisingly. Pretty sure I'm more Left-wing economically, as I'm basically a Nordic model fan, yet it says Sweden is 'Far Left' - a country that has no minimum wage, and low corporate taxes.

Weird leader by the Economist this week. It breaks down all the structural reasons why America is in decline to the benefit of China, and then upends the whole piece by concluding the US is the future, because... vibes.

You seem to have misspelled Wales there.

You're worrying about a concentration of economic inactivity and multiple deprivations in post-industrial South Wales valleys? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MERTHYR

It's standard for election observers to observe and document, rather than intervene when voting takes place. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electio...

They're not 'my lot'! Like I said, I haven't observed elections for years. That said, a glance at their website shows they're hardly just 'observing muslims'.

How about these charts? And this article? Since then, things have improved much more than expected, given how solar power and to a lesser extent battery tech has improved far more than the most optimistic projections ourworldindata.org/co2-gdp-deco...

The arguments deployed against the charge that he's a fascist was that he wasn't militaristic or keen on foreign expansion, whereas fascists put uniformed thugs out on the streets. I've huge respect for Richard Evans, but the analysis isn't holding up well. www.newstatesman.com/world/americ...

Oh, and since we're talking about Vietnam, look at it's economy once it moved away from socialism and towards a "socialist orientated market economy" in 1986.

Vietnam goes from poverty to medium income in a generation, after choosing market over socialist planning.

Steffan @seneddbound.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

No, you haven't addressed this. These aren't examples of one place starting with a dollar and another starting with the whole bank. I chose them because they were very similar starting points. If you don't like those examples, compare communist China between 1949-1979 and market-China 1979-onwards

If you want to focus on broader trends, just look at Eastern Europe under socialism, followed by capitalism. (You still haven't said what you regard as the best example of a socialist country, I note).

Cuba was richer than South Korea when the revolution happened. Cuba went socialist; South Korea went market soc dem.

That's partly due to us being more unequal, and the poorer cohort pay much more via indirect taxation.

Steffan @seneddbound.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

Maybe it's perfectly normal for a radical leftist millionaire wanting to limit their tax duties to think 'the best person to sort this out just happens to be a convicted sex trafficker, who will selflessly let me use his bank account as a go-between.' Maybe.

Social housing is good, but it should be noted that we have one of the highest levels of social housing, while also having the highest level of homelessness. We do however have one of the lowest level of empty homes, meaning we have under-supply.

A curiously large number of recent US presidents have been left-handed. Not sure if it's pure coincidence, but it seems pretty unlikely if so.

Badenoch is more prepared to hold Reform to account than Chris Mason is. No other party could have nutty anti-vaxxers conspiracy theorists musing about the King's cancer without the BBC interrogating them. Mason couldn't even raise the proverbial eyebrow.
