New post: Should the government compensate consumers for cost of living shocks?

Any government subsidy today has to be paid for by raising taxes or borrowing. Why should the government do either to shield consumers who can afford to pay higher prices?

The man could wear a bin bag and would still look far more amazing than most others could in their best clothes.
Coachella is removing these videos, so they might be about to learn about the Strokesand Effect.
Her office said the Office for Students (OfS), which regulates universities, had received reports of speakers and lecturers being harassed and blocked for holding gender-critical or religious views, of foreign interference suppressing academic freedoms, and of ideological belief requirements featuring in job advertisements.
The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.
Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.
My best wishes to all teachers and other school staff heading back to work tomorrow.
Good luck remembering all your passwords.
People out there arguing coldly that it should be a crime to try to live as a trans person.

We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.
I think most people would prefer this. #Science
Good news! The Professional Staff Congress (PSC), union of CUNY higher ed professionals, passed a strong action motion on AI, implicitly repudiating AFT and NEA deal with the tech bros. Bravo to PSC, UUP, and AAUP, doing what we must demand from other K-12 and higher ed workers and their unions.
I disagree. I think she knew exactly what she was doing: a cynical and self-serving pivot.
Social media has made things worse for so many women and girls, with so much of this harassment online, making those platforms increasingly hostile places.
This bill must be part of a bigger institutional and cultural change that we need to see across society.
Wonder when she’s going to circle back…

Question for you…
700+ killed by Israel in Gaza during “ceasefire”
250+ killed by Israel in Lebanon during “ceasefire”
Would any other country enjoy the “ceasefire” label while massacring this many people?
