Kal's weekly cartoon in #TheEconomist

"Trump è un problema per i più importanti leader dell'estrema destra europea", titola #TheEconomist. "Le sue buffonate stanno creando grattacapi a #GiorgiaMeloni e #MarineLePen".

L'America sta commettendo molti errori nelle sue relazioni internazionali; dal periodo successivo alla seconda guerra mondiale in poi, mai un'amministrazione ha preso delle decisioni così audaci come quelle dell'amministrazione Trump che portano a un caos totale, pericoloso e pernicioso, il fulcro della sua... 1/2

If someone has for 4 years shown you who they are, and has openly signaled their intent for a second term in a plan called #Project2025, then it’s utterly naive for the editor in chief of the world’s most preeminent magazine #theeconomist to state that today’s events are hard to believe #uspol

In every city you see them. The young men with nowhere to go and nothing to do. They are not unique to London, or Paris or Rio; each country, unhappy in its own way, has its own means of production. They are the world's problem demographic, caught between childhood and adulthood, care and responsibility, education and application. Wherever there is poverty and inequality, young men are waiting, ready to explode. Wherever there are cracks, they will be falling through them.
-- The Economist (Smells Like Disillusioned Teen Spirit (Apr 19, 2016))

Great quote found in today’s The Economist “The World In Brief” newsletter:

“My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.”

—Adlai Stevenson

Be well and be safe today.

Well at least the Economist is being very clear about who's side they are on, apparently the new government in the white house is removing all this unnecessary red tape that costs business so much money.
Glad I've never signed up to the rag, removed myself from their mailing list.

"Slums are much hotter than richer areas, which have more shade and open space. Temperatures in October in Dharavi, a Mumbai slum that squashes 1M people into 2.4 square km, are 5 degrees higher than in Matunga, a posher suburb next door.

The effect of humid heat on outdoor workers costs India the equivalent of 7% of GDP each year."

"Once they reach primary school, children should be ready to run a “mini-shakai” or “mini-society”. Children on lunch duty don chef whites, roll out tables, lay out crockery and serve their peers. After school, children on cleaning duty pull child-sized brooms to gather paper and dirt. By cleaning, children learn not to make a mess in the first place. They also learn to be egalitarian: no, “Oh the caretaker will clean it up later.”"

"Between 2018 and 2022, Indian investment in Africa exceeded $26bn, bringing it to more than 5x the amount over the previous 5 years.

"Although NASA is a space agency, it is also a well-engineered machine for distributing pork. When NASA was founded in 1958 it established centres across America, cannily recruiting a phalanx of congressional bodyguards who would be keen to preserve high-paying jobs in their constituencies."
