росія розробила план, як зробити великі міста України непридатними для життя ударами по світлу, теплу й воді
Документ, який українська розвідка перехопила минулого місяця, містить конкретні цілі та розрахунки кількості ракет і дронів, необхідних для знищення ТЕЦ, підстанцій, насосних станцій та іншої інфраструктури.
Мета — спричинити тривалі блекаути, проблеми з водою й опаленням та змусити мешканців залишати міста, посилюючи тиск на Україну для капітуляції. The Guardian зазначає, що невідомо, яка саме російська структура підготувала документ.
Netflix скоротить близько 1000 працівників — приблизно 6% штату. Це наймасштабніше скорочення з 2022 року
Найбільше звільнень торкнеться команд продукту й технологій, HR та юридичного відділу.
Компанія пояснює рішення необхідністю жорсткіше розставляти пріоритети на тлі конкуренції з YouTube і TikTok та після невдалої спроби придбати активи Warner Bros Discovery.
Ем. Трамп призупинив ключові санкції проти росії за законом покійного Ліндсі Грема, пославшись на «національні інтереси» США
Указ фактично відкладає, зокрема, 100% мита для п’яти найбільших імпортерів російських нафти й газу та низку інших обмежень.
Закон Грема Трамп підписав 18 вересня, однак документ дозволяє президенту тимчасово не застосовувати його положення, якщо це відповідає інтересам США.

I understand where your words (feelings) are coming from and I heartily agree that no one in an abundent and rich country like ours should be homeless. #Homelessness is a failure of care by our society, and in its representational duties, our successive govts.
But you draw the wrong conclusion by invoking #Defence expenditure which is a *public good* service (where privatisation has no place) like public transport, healthcare and emergency services.
Your case for the reprioritisation of public expenditure to be first and foremost directed to the *public good* such as social housing , emergency housing, Health, NDIS or UBI would be much stronger if rent control, tax reform and/or an end to fossil fuel subsidies, amongst others, were your targets instead. Because reform in those sectors of the economy do not impinge on any funding of public services for the social good (except in a positive way).
If you wish to argue against the cost of funding Defence as a *public good*, than that’s another thing altogether. But you’d want to be well prepared to argue that case.
I apologise if my toot causes you any anxiety or harm, that is not my purpose here. I just wanted to point out the difference between spending on the *public good* and abetting #Grifting, and where the govt can make a diffence to society as a whole by favouring the former and eschewing the latter.
