I’m a descendant of African slaves, everyone’s hand is in my pocket, taking, taking

eejoseph,

Write about your approach to budgeting.

My income grows in tiny steps.  My debts roll in, I pay them. As need arises I buy and never sell.  If the colonial sages had half a brain they would have put my feet on a piece of land to call my own.  Until then a pox on leftist, rightist budgeting theories. I pay for what I need with tenuous pieces of paper and metal, sometimes with credit just like the vast majority of moguls and their miniscule minions.

Too late, boys. Pick your spines off the floor

The Prime Ministers of Australia, Canada and New Zealand are making sounds of living fighters for international justice. We have known for a long time that the western democracies have lost their credibility in matters related ti Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza and over the Palestinian Problem. 

What a credible spine looks like

Since 1948 Israel has cornered the support of many nations with the outcome that entire populations and states are willingly ignorant of the following

  • concern for human life is impartial
  • international consensus has no teeth even in the United Nations
  • humanitarian policies in all war situations
  • genocide is not beyond trhe State of Israel’s paranoia
  • Israel cannot pursue it annihilation war and expect to have a hostage release proceed alomgside a release of Palestinians from Israeli prisoms
