1/ Russian soldiers are deserting because of abusive commanders who enjoy impunity to rob them, beat them, and punish them by sending them to die in futile assaults. A Russian warblogger appeals for them to be treated mercifully by the Russian army. ⬇️ 
2/ Anastasia Kashevarova writes of the problem of soldiers being "deprived of protection from illegal actions by the command", deserting, being recaptured and then being sent into assaults as punishment without any of the root causes being addressed:
3/ "There are cases, and there are many of them, when soldiers run away from the front, although they are ready to fight, but due to the actions of individual commanders (non-statutory relations) they are forced to desert.

🚨This means for the history books that America caused World War III and is responsible for millions of deaths. Perhaps even for the fact that there will be no more life on planet Earth at all.

🧵THE MAN WHO TORE WAQF BILL
FROM RAZKAR TO MIM TO AIMIM

Asaduddin Owaisi, who tore WAQF bill yesterday in Parliament, has dark past. His party is linked to Pakistan-lover Qasim Rizvi.
His RAZKAR-MIM-AIMIM Journey is less scruitinized. A small🧵
The MIM (Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen) was founded in 1926 by Nawab Mahmood Nawaz Khan as a platform for the Muslims to unite under the rule of Hyderabad Nizam Osman. The Razakars were the Islamist paramilitary force of the MIM, established by its President Bahadur Yar Jung.
It was Bahadur Yar Jung who founded the Majlis Tabligh-e-Islam in 1927 to encourage conversion of Hindus to Islam. Today, the official website of the AIMIM hails Yar Jung as "the tallest leader of the community".
Supply and demand means that the tariffs will raise the supply curve, given that many suppliers are foreign.
This will impact price but nothing like a 1 to 1 increase except in situations with low elasticity and very high percentage of foreign producers. /1

That itself might be read as “necessities the US doesn’t produce”, which is problematic on its face. So even where prices rise very high, there is a different dimension of advantage in that we ought to re-shore our production of necessities. /2
With regard to negative externalities, the widespread use of slave labor, lack of labor and environmental laws in foreign production requires the use of tariffs to overcome the relative inequality in regulation. /3
The Rising Toll of Online Misogyny
1/ New polling commissioned by Amnesty International UK exposes just how deep online misogyny runs in Gen Z’s digital spaces. The numbers are staggering—and the consequences are dire. 🧵

2/ A shocking 73% of Gen Z social media users have witnessed misogynistic content online. HALF see it at least once a week.
3/ It’s not just visibility—it’s escalation. 70% say misogynistic and divisive language has increased on social media.
4/ The impact? 55% of young people worry about encountering misogyny, and less than half (49%) feel safe online.

I wrote a piece a while back about how it is intervention and the vol crushing behaviour of governments and central banks (which we continually vote for) that makes asset prices as high as they are.
Well, voters have had enough of that idea in the US. Uncertainty wins.

Both have their downsides, with uncertainty clearly bringing those problems into the short term.

...this was the only review that drew a rebuttal by Keynes. Viner maintained that the GT didn't make a "sharp break" from traditional economics. And Keynes's novel results were because velocity was allowed to vary and wages and prices assumed to be rigid.

Unmarked Vans. Secret Lists. Public Denunciations. Our Police State Has Arrived.

“It’s the unmarked cars,” a friend who grew up under an Argentine dictatorship said. He had watched the video of the Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction. In the video, which Khalil’s wife recorded, she asks for the names of the men in plainclothes who handcuffed her husband.
“We don’t give our name,” one responds. “Can you please specify what agency is taking him?” she pleads. No response. We know now that Khalil was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency of the Department of Homeland Security.
Those of us who have lived in countries terrorized by a secret police force can’t shake a feeling of dreadful familiarity. “I never realized until this moment how much fear I carried with me from my childhood in Communist Romania,” another friend, the literary scholar Marianne Hirsch, told me. “Arrests were arbitrary and every time the doorbell rang, I started to shiver.”

It’s the catastrophic interruption of daily life, as when a Tufts University graduate student, Rumeysa Ozturk, was grabbed on a suburban street by half a dozen plainclothes agents, most of them masked. The security camera video of that arrest shows Ozturk walking, looking at her phone, perhaps to check the address where she was supposed to meet her friends for dinner that night, when an agent appears in front of her. She says something — asks something — struggling to control her voice, and within seconds she is handcuffed and placed in an unmarked car.
It’s the forced mass transports of immigrants. These are not even deportations, in the way we typically think of them. Rather than being sent to their country of origin, Venezuelans were sent to El Salvador, where they are being imprisoned, indefinitely, without due process. It’s the sight of men being marched in formation, their heads shaved, hundreds of people yanked from their individual lives to be reduced to an undifferentiated mass. It’s the sight, days later, of the secretary of homeland security posing against the background of men in cages and threatening more people with the same punishment.

For a thousand years or more, China used these little bronze coins for day-to-day transactions. This is where the word cash comes from
For larger transactions, they used these little silver ingots, called a tael or sycee.
Many official taxes and fees were calculated in silver taels. For instsnce, your rents or land taxes
Bizarrely, the government never really minted silver coinage, you just paid X ounces

A tael is too valuable for piddly day-to-day purchases, so you'd use the bronze/brass cash.
