A tactic discussed in this episode really really drives me crazy. Create a problem or controversy by lying or exaggerating and then in the aftermath of that go around saying “we need to discuss this look people are angry and concerned!” See it all the time and it drives me up the feckin wall.

It’s only just dawned on me that when @aiannucci.bsky.social mentions Elon Musk in Strong Message Here, as he very often does, he’s DELIBERATELY mispronouncing his name, and in a subtly different way each time. Very well played of you and very halfwitted of me in to take so long to realise.

GDP Growth should not be the primary goal. Opportunity and upward mobility are more important, writes Andy Haldane - and I agree. "Growth" which benefits only those at the top is harmful, increasing inequality. (Pope Francise wrote several times along similar lines). www.ft.com/content/50e7...
