Capital gains tax receipts fall 10% as wealthy exit UK

We subsidies fossil fuels far greater than renewables.

I wonder that it is that’s adding up hugely to government spending?

US wants presence in both east and west, not only just the east? Has this got to do with Russia shifting its military bases from Syria to Libya? lol

Taiwan has extended their restrictions on short-selling to curb market volatility

Carl Sagan explains how the ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round and calculated its circumference over 2,000 years ago.

Anxiously watching the US-UK trade deal news to see whether both countries I have ties to are going to slowly sink into the ocean or just one. I'm hoping the UK will come to its senses and realize a closer relationship with the EU is the only sane option.

Heat pump prices could drop

A country with a low GDP whether in absolute or relative terms should not be investing more internationally than domestically. capital outflows are highly questionable. It’s even more troubling if the returns on those foreign investments are not reinvested back into the domestic economy.

Broadcasters falsely blamed UK's push for net zero for Scunthorpe's problems But @ukerc.bsky.social say "high energy prices are absolutely not created by net zero policies... Britain’s amazing wind resources offer potential for cheap, stable energy prices" www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“Unless marred by too much noise, pollution and traffic, cities can perk us up, pique our curiosity and trigger our imagination.“ Enjoyed this a lot👇

This is a really rough list:

I'm able to make this animation of how the ocean breathes in and out COâ‚‚ because of data collected by NOAA scientists, data served at NOAA websites, and tools provided by NASA. All are under threat of being dismantled by the Trump administration.

The more I read news: The right’s degrowth by neglect is beginning to echo the left’s degrowth by design.

Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.

Cars ruin cities in more ways than just running people over. Paris has reduced air pollution by 50-55% over the past 20 years through policies limiting traffic and banning polluting vehicles.

Economic uncertainty update: The thing about veering wildly between policy positions, favouring and then discarding a new maverick advisor each week, and using contradictory justifications at every turn, is that even if one particular pivot is in the direction of sanity, chaos is the constant.

Not only do we have an epidemic of violence and misogyny against women and girls - but it’s getting worse. In 2022-23, reports of violence against women and girls accounted for 20% of all police-recorded crime in the UK. Govt policies have to do much more to combat sexism and misogyny in society.

The bond market shows capital flight from the United States, with people selling off US debt. It’s the opposite of what usually happens during economic turmoil, when people buy US debt because they think it’s the safest asset in the world. The US-led global economic system is dead. By suicide.
