The plot thickens over #gaza , #ghf
and #bostonconsulting ! The #ft has reported today that the #tonyblairinstitute was involved also. The metaphorical stench is becoming overwhelming - comparable to that of a traditional tannery in real life - which I experienced in #fez nearly fifteen years ago !

The #ft also points out elsewhere that the rally was driven by big players who saw an opportunity for a bargain. Which suggests to me - at any rate - that confidence may be rather less fragile than various commentators and interested parties suggest. #uk #gilts may well be seen as less risky than #ustreasuries in current circumstances. It may just be enough for the #uk to build in a bit more headroom/resilience into its projections to avoid 'bear raids' on #gilts .
Use of #paper rather than #whatsapp to organise.
According to the #ft one reason why #downingstreet was surprised by the extent of the opposition in the #parliamentarylabourparty to the proposed changes to benefits for people with disabilities was that critics communicated with one another in writing rather than electronically . Monitoring failed as a result. A lesson perhaps for people organising elsewhere?
Like Father like Son. Grifters and liars, both significantly enriched by it as well

Even someone this thick can not belie the words that come out of his arse surely? The smirk gives him away.

A defeat Keir Starmer cannot afford
Retreat on welfare cuts would be an irrecoverable blow to the UK prime minister’s authority
It is just a pity he didn’t consider the consequences then isn’t it - too much time hanging out with #McSweeny and #McFadden and not enough time with his #conscience, common sense, the party or his back benchers.
#Poland prepares plans to evacuate art in case of #Russian invasion - #FT
#Warsaw is coordinating the movement of exhibits from about 160 state institutions, including paintings, sculptures, rare books, and musical instruments, according to Culture Minister #Hanna_Wróblewska.
The plan builds on the experience of helping #Ukraine preserve cultural property after a full-scale #Russian invasion in 2022.

A building used by an #American corporation #Boeing was badly damaged in a recent large-scale #Russian air attack on #Kyiv – #FT
Despite this, there had been "no operational disruption" as a result of the #Russian attack, #Andriy_Koryagin, deputy general director of #Boeing’s operation in #Ukraine, told the #FT.
#Boeing is one of the most prominent #American businesses present in #Ukraine, with its operations largely focused on engineering and technical support.
Insightful comments by Gideon Rachman, #FT, why Israel chose to attack Iran now
Financial Times · Why Israel chose to strike Iran now
These are the first 3 paragraphs of the FT Opinion newsletter today:
"attempted conversion of the American republic into an arbitrary dictatorship"
"doom-loop"
"clearest step yet towards authoritarianism"
The FT saying it as they see it.
Debt is crushing the developing world
A reminder and something that has been ignore by many in the West, most governments willing to turn a blind eye to the plundering of already poor countries by the companies that they regulate.
#FinancialTimes did a deep dive on the business model of the world's second largest #stablecoin: Circle's #USDC. It's the one that's managed by an American company and is significantly less connected to Chinese organized #crime than the other #stablecoins.
Circle, which has a very deep business relationship with #Coinbase, is trying to go public this year or next. This is their second attempt - they filed to go public ca. 2021 but ended up not doing so because... no one wanted to buy shares in a company like Circle.
I suffered through reading Circle's original SEC filing in 2021 and it made clear that a) Circle wasn't making any money and b) executive compensation was *absurdly* high... but that was in a low interest rate environment. according to #FTAV they can't even make the math work in today's high interest rate world, which surprised me.

US Health Care - a symptom of a broken society?
'America is the only advanced economy without a system of universal health coverage. The US spends more than $4.5tn annually on healthcare — and is projected to soon account for one-fifth of its economy. Even on a per capita basis, other large, rich nations spend about half as much as America'
And many other nations have better outcomes.
But hey it 'boosts the economy'
Two things of note out of the #FT investigation:
1. Small, decentralised producers seem to have been the source of the #Blackout on the 27th of April.
2. Contrary to previous reports, #software is in fact being investigated as a culprit.

Was'n das?
Kann mensch sich das virtuell zuschicken?
So 'ne Art #FT das mensch dann in eine #NFT #Blockchain eintragen kann?
Gar ein Tool damit Menschen die immer nur auf soziale Bildschirme starren sich physisch im gleichen Raum treffen?
Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.'
