The Guardian view on water bossโ€™s undisclosed bonus: Labour wonโ€™t fix a system it wonโ€™t confront Despite tough talk on sewage and pay, ministers refuse to challenge the water industryโ€™s broken model โ€“ leaving private capital in charge of a troubled public service

โ€œBut this is a now-familiar Whitehall formulation โ€“ passive, conditional and hollow.โ€

Rerunning that old (now unfunny) soviet era joke:
Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev are on a train. Train stops moving.
Stalin: โ€œshoot the engineer!โ€ Train still stuck.
NK: โ€œrehabilitate the engineer!โ€ Still stuck.
Brezhnev, pulling down the window shades: โ€œComrades! The train is moving!โ€

Trumpโ€™s Attack on Brazilโ€™s Sovereignty May Backfire on US Tech Firms | TechPolicy.Press Tech Policy Press fellow Laรญs Martins says Brazil's posture is stiffening in response to demands from the Trump administration.

This week, Trump escalated his attack on Brazilian sovereignty. But his efforts could backfire politically, and ultimately on US tech firms that hoped to benefit from his heavy handed tactics, as the Brazilian posture appears to be stiffening, writes Tech Policy Press fellow Laรญs Martins.

This is all true and it is an important critique because of who it devalues, but also why is the assumption that working 24x7x365 is actually good or a laudable objective?

Tired of superficial analysis passed off as deep thinking on some of the most important issues confronting us rn. It is a recipe for stasis/failure.

I mean, if we look closely, spending reviews (of various sizes, scopes, levels of success and names) have been almost constant since Harper.

But I agree with the two points, ๐Ÿ’ฏ.
