#expenditure — Public Fediverse posts

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jun/14/cabinet-ministers-asked-to-look-for-cuts-to-fund-uk-defence-spending-increase. This wretched #Labour #Government shouldn't even be talking in these terms, @ZackPolanski, @thegreenparty! We don't need more #defence #spending, & we definitely DON'T need more spending #cuts! If the #LabourParty are SO convinced of the case for higher defence #expenditure, they should put #taxes up instead to pay for it - on the #rich & #bigbusiness!

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jun/11/john-healey-resigns-defence-secretary-military-spending. What - MORE #defence #spending? When #overseas #aid & #socialsecurity spending have already been cut to accommodate more defence #expenditure, including on #nuclear #weapons? What the Hell does the man want?

“… [The] latest peak in the AI market comes amid a multitrillion-dollar spending spree on related infrastructure such as datacentres. Meanwhile, companies are attempting to deploy the technology in a way that makes investing in it worthwhile. Here’s a look at what stage the AI boom is at and six key charts that tell us how we got here…
• Datacentres are propping up US GDP - …This means that datacentres – and the AI boom – carry a disproportionate share of US growth, and a large part of why the world’s largest economy, despite significant headwinds, still looks healthy. Any dent in this expenditure could have economic, and thus political, consequences…
• AI has sent stocks soaring
• Expenditure is growing at a staggering rate
• Firms and consumers are adopting AI at pace
• Claude is snapping at ChatGPT’s heels
• AI is getting more expensive to use
• Datacentre building might not keep pace with demand
• What AI models can do is expanding rapidly…”

"#Human #capital #expenditure has grown substantially, but with large and persistent #inequalities. #Public #education expenditure per school-age individual in Sub-Saharan #Africa is about 3% of the level observed in
#Europe and North #America in 2025 at purchasing power parity, compared to 6% in 1980 and 4% in 1950. Human capital expenditure strongly correlates with #productivity #growth, especially for public education and in #poor countries."

#Pentagon chief urges #Asian allies to spend 5% GDP on defence
" the former Fox News presenter added.. #Beijing’s purported #defence #expenditure typically does not exceed 1.5% of its #GDP, compared with the 3.5% that the #US typically maintains every year.. #Nato recommends that its member states devote about 2% of their GDP annually to shore up its defences"

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) says that global military expenditure rose to $2.72 trillion last year, in the “steepest year-on-year rise since at least the end of the Cold War”.

Israel’s military expenditure reached $46.5bn in 2024, a 65 percent increase on 2023, and “the steepest annual increase since the Six-Day War in 1967”, SIPRI said.

Israel’s military burden rose to 8.8 percent of GDP, the second highest in the world.

Control activities that lower the #mosquito #density in both private and public areas could reduce the use of household #insecticides in urban environments and the related costs, and the risk of spread of imported #arboviruses as well.
