Socialdemokraterna triangulerar sig mot avgrunden Max Jerneck: Sverigedemokraterna har alltid en växel till

Genom att kopiera Sverigedemokraternas migrationspolitik trodde Socialdemokraterna att konflikten skulle försvinna.

I stället har man hjälpt SD att bana väg för ännu extremare förslag, skriver @maxjerneck.bsky.social.

But anyway, it will forever baffle me how European government's could put key aspects of Europe's security in the hands of people who believe stuff like this

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Förändring av konsumtionsutrymme per inkomstgrupp 2021-2024, kronor per månad. Alla deciler har backat, mest decil 4 och 8 (ca 4000 kr), utom decilen med högsta inkomsterna, som ökat med över 5000 kr

Nästan alla svenskar har fått mindre pengar i plånboken sedan 2021. Förutom den rikaste tiondelen. De har rakt igenom kostnadskrisen fått stigande kapitalinkomster och kraftigt sänkta skatter. Detta är inte en rimlig politisk prioritering

Därför har S helt fel om statens underskott Socialdemokraterna skjuter sig själva i foten med sin KU-anmälan.

Pedagogisk insats av @maxjerneck.bsky.social om varför S tänker helt fel när de KU-anmäler regeringen för att bryta mot det finanspolitiska ramverket

A Labour government official at the height of the global financial crisis advising a US Big bank how to aggressively attack that same Labour government, via a convicted pedofile.

Second, inflation is a choice, and the Fed’s track record under Chairman Jerome Powell is one of unwise choices. The Fed should re-examine its great mistakes that led to the great inflation. It should abandon the dogma that inflation is caused when the economy grows too much and workers get paid too much. Inflation is caused when government spends too much and prints too much. Money on Wall Street is too easy, and credit on Main Street is too tight. The Fed’s bloated balance sheet, designed to support the biggest firms in a bygone crisis era, can be reduced significantly. That largesse can be redeployed in the form of lower interest rates to support households and small and medium-size businesses.

A quick take on Warsh.

In terms of ideology and theory, at first glance he looks like a fairly standard pre-2008 'hawk' but he's perhaps closer to 80s monetarism: he thinks inflation is caused by government spending and money printing. 1/n

Fackets larm om vården av äldre: ”På väg att gå sönder” Kommunal: ”Underbemanning har blivit ett normalläge.”

43 procent av de som jobbar i äldreomsorgen säger att de sällan eller aldrig har tillräckligt med kollegor, enligt en ny rapport från facket Kommunal.
”Äldreomsorgen är på väg att gå sönder”, säger Kommunals ordförande Malin Ragnegård.

Föredrar också det, men av alla områden att kompromissa med C är nog skattesänkningar minst skadligt. Kan riktas mot låginkomsttagare

Just nu när det finns många lediga resurser i ekonomin behövs en expansiv finanspolitik. När vi närmar oss full sysselsättning kan skatter behöva höjas för att hindra överhettning. Men helst sker det automatiskt genom progressiva skatter

Med 9 procents arbetslöshet behövs snarare en expansiv politik under många år för att komma tillbaka till full sysselsättning så under kommande mandatperiod spelar det ingen roll

Except now Trump and the Fed are in open conflict…

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

This something I want people to understand. If you don’t get their names, they’re just gone. There’s no arrest record and the snatch-and-grabs can last seconds. People simply disappear and we can’t find out who they are or what happened to them.

”Bristande drivkrafter” ger inte tioprocentig arbetslöshet Jonas Algers: De arbetslösa är inte problemet

Hundratusentals svenskar vill arbeta mer men hålls fast i osäkra jobb, deltider och arbetslöshet.

Regeringens bild av lata arbetslösa stämmer inte, och statistiken visar varför, skriver @jonasalgers.bsky.social.

Thought about writing something about Hanania then I thought: I don't know enough about him. I wouldn't hand it to him but not sure I would bother to be bothered by his face turn.

Good question. I suppose it would lead to a spike in bond yields which might make Trump uncomfortable. Interesting to see how the Fed would react

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Here are some more exact numbers on which I based this article: Sweden has 4.43 billionaires per capita; the US has 2.69. In Sweden, the billionaires own 34% of the GDP; in the US, it is 26.5%. The days of Swedish equality are long gone.

Yes.
