Except for Gerrymandering, Packing, Cracking, Dark Money, Voter Suppression and Vote Count Disruption

 ... the Democrats should have an easy time maintaining and gaining greater majorities.  Did I say anything about constitutional rights of equality.  Don't forget those well regulated militias ... thank you King George.  Never should have let the "colonists" have AR-15s.

Putin and Trump and Ukraine and Russia

 

Did you ever wonder what Putin and Trump agreed in those "private" meetings that Trump made sure were off the record, and Trump's National Security staff were kept out of.

So what would Trump do in 2024 ...

Did Trump have two agenda items when he withheld "aid" to Ukraine?

NATO Bombing : History in Europe 1999 - Wikipedia

 NATO Bombing 1999

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) carried out an aerial bombing campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War. The air strikes lasted from 24 March 1999 to 10 June 1999. The bombings continued until an agreement was reached that led to the withdrawal of Yugoslav armed forces from Kosovo, and the establishment of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo, a UN peacekeeping mission in Kosovo. The official NATO operation code name was Operation Allied Force whereas the United States called it Operation Noble Anvil;^[26] in Yugoslavia the operation was incorrectly called Merciful Angel (Serbian: Милосрдни анђео / Milosrdni anđeo) as a result of a misunderstanding or mistranslation.^[27]

NATO's intervention was prompted by Yugoslavia's bloodshed and ethnic cleansing of Albanians, which drove the Albanians into neighbouring countries and had the potential to destabilize the region. Yugoslavia's actions had already provoked condemnation by international organisations and agencies such as the UN, NATO, and various INGOs.^[28][29] Yugoslavia's refusal to sign the Rambouillet Accords was initially offered as justification for NATO's use of force.^[30] NATO countries attempted to gain authorisation from the UN Security Council for military action, but were opposed by China and Russia, who indicated that they would veto such a measure. As a result, NATO launched its campaign without the UN's approval, stating that it was a humanitarian intervention. The UN Charter prohibits the use of force except in the case of a decision by the Security Council under Chapter VII, or self-defence against an armed attack – neither of which were present in this case.^[31]

By the end of the war, the Yugoslavs had killed 1,500^[32] to 2,131 combatants,^[33] while choosing to heavily target Kosovar Albanian civilians, with 8,676 killed or missing^[33] and some 848,000 expelled from Kosovo.^[34] The NATO bombing killed about 1,000 members of the Yugoslav security forces in addition to between 489 and 528 civilians. It destroyed or damaged bridges, industrial plants, hospitals, schools, cultural monuments, private businesses as well as barracks and military installations. In the days after the Yugoslav army withdrew, over 164,000 Serbs and 24,000 Roma left Kosovo. Many of the remaining non-Albanian civilians (as well as Albanians perceived as collaborators) were victims of abuse which included beatings, abductions, and murders.^{[35][36][37][38][39]} After Kosovo and other Yugoslav Wars, Serbia became home to the highest number of refugees and IDPs (including Kosovo Serbs) in Europe.^[40][41][42]

The bombing was NATO's second major combat operation, following the 1995 bombing campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was the first time that NATO had used military force without the expressed endorsement of the UN Security Council^{[citation needed]}, which triggered debates over the legitimacy of the intervention.

WI GOP wants to do away with the Governor!? How to make a little, small VOS essentially the Governor from the WI Assembly.

Do you really think a person like VOS, who is accountable to a very small part of the State of Wisconsin should be the "effective" co-governor of the state with his counterpart in the State of Wisconsin Senate.

His district is gerrymandered to keep him in office and he does represent the majority of people, let alone voters in the State.

This would be like making one Alderperson from Madison or Green Bay the effective Mayor of those cities.  The Alderperson does not represent all of the citizens of the city.  It is not "democracy".

Would you prefer a Recession? Have you lost your job?

Inflation is a personal experience.  The price of gas.  How and how far you commute to work.  The price of bread.  How much is your personal inflation rate and after the purchase do you have any discretionary income. 

Losing your job is the way corporations and/or companies fight inflation. They fire you because inflation hawks insist on high interest rates and product/services prices go up.

Balance and realism.  What do you really need?

Discretionary income is what a household or individual has to invest, save, or spend after necessities are paid.

I doubt that Musk or Bezos or even Putin notice.  A recession is uniformly experienced by the economically disadvantaged or those about to become uniformly disadvantaged - the bottom half of the income distribution - not the wealthy!

The economic narratives we hear don't really tell us the right story.  The number of jobs available and the resistance of those returning to work tells us what the pandemic has taught us.

IT WAS COSTING YOU MORE TO WORK THAN STAY HOME ... 

In the weeds ... the concept of elasticity applied to economics and consumerism.  Demand for 'things' is elastic ... we can pick and choose so long as we have income or wealth. Supply these days is inelastic ... we have trouble finding what we want to buy!
