New study by the National Bureau of Economic Research: A survey of 6000 CFOs, CEOS throughout US, Europe, UK and Australia comes to the conclusion that businesses predict that "AI" will improve productivity by a whopping 1.4%. Truly earth shattering.

Sommige van de ergste uitspraken van deze fascist hebben ze nog weggelaten in het verslag van de uitzending van gisteren.
Gardiner vindt de EU een dictatuur want er is niks democratisch aan ... moet hij nodig zeggen met wat er allemaal in de VS gebeurt ...
Het wordt hoog tijd dat we de VS zien voor wat ze nu zijn: onze tegenstander op economisch, cultureel, humanitair *en* geopolitiek gebied.

Top Catholic cardinals say U.S. foreign policy raises moral questions
Echoing concerns of Pope Leo XIV over a new era of unilateralism and warfare,
the three highest-ranking U.S. Catholic archbishops on Monday said
“the moral foundation for America’s actions in the world”
has been thrown into question by a resurgence in the use or threat of military force,
including in Venezuela and Greenland.
The archbishops,

The federal government’s revenue base is essentially a tax on human time. People work, firms pay them, the government takes a cut. Individual income and payroll taxes are the spine of receipts in normal years.
Indeed. Collapse in the labour economy causes a financial state collapse when the state is funded by a tax on labour.
Productivity is surging, but the gains are flowing to capital and compute, not labor.
Which would ideally mean you tax compute and capital but how's that work when compute and capital own the government already?
The output is still there. But it’s no longer routing through households on the way back to firms, which means it’s no longer routing through the IRS either.

Good Morning #Canada
We are almost at the end of our #CanadianCapitals series and today's post is about the sunniest city in Canada. Yellowknife and its surrounding water bodies were named after a local Dene tribe, who were known as the "Copper Indians" or "Yellowknife Indians", because they traded tools made from copper deposits near the Arctic Coast. Yellowknife is a relatively new capital becoming the seat of Government for the Northwest Territories in 1967. The settlement was founded in 1934 with the discovery of gold and became a centre of economic activity in the NWT. As gold production began to decrease, Yellowknife shifted from being a mining town to a centre of government services in the 1980s but a new mining boom started with the discovery of diamonds north of the city in 1991. Established on the shore of the world's 9th largest lake, Yellowknife is a popular tourist destination for watching the Northern Lights.
