Dilemmas faced by (often very conservative) farmers for whom farming methods with which they are familiar no longer produce sufficient income (#drought or #soil degradation generally, also #wildfire or #flooding or #equipment depreciation or increased #taxation or simply old age or no designated succession farmer). #Regenerative or #agroforestry or #agrisolar and such either have no appeal, are too poorly understood, or have high cost of entry. >>

Family farms increasingly face selling their land, or trying to conserve it

Search Engine Roundtable: IRS Website Drops Heavily In Google Search. “Over the past few days, the IRS website (and other government sites) has tanked within Google’s search results. My gut feeling is that the federal government implemented some bot-blocking that was too aggressive and blocked Google, among others, resulting in Google not fully showing the IRS website. I believe the IRS […]

The economic policy mix typical of Western countries in the last 30 years has been this: tax cuts for the rich plus austerity, slashing social services for the rest of us.

Like me, you might wonder how this came about. In a recent conversation, Vanessa Williamson told Paul Krugman the origin story of this mess, why this dynamic is self-reinforcing, and how it ends up eroding democracy itself.

@2legged It is absolutely no surprise to me at all that #Labour, under both Starmer & #Burnham, has no plans for #redistribution of #income & #wealth, #reduction in income & wealth #inequality or increased #taxation of the #rich, whereas they DO have plans, some of which they've already implemented, for #cuts in #social #spending & #socialsecurity #benefits, especially for the #disabled.

"At the end of the day, the fact is that mass public opinion isn’t what causes politics to happen. Politics is not a public opinion poll; it’s the mobilization of organized interests through a party system. So you shouldn’t expect things that most people believe to automatically become law. That’s just not how it’s done; you have to have organized interests. It’s a collective action problem, fundamentally."

Texas Tribune: Texas’ multibillion-dollar sales tax exemption for data centers is growing, while audits lag. “Texas’ multibillion-dollar estimate for what it will lose on sales tax breaks for data centers is growing, but the Comptroller’s Office warned lawmakers on Monday they have little information about whether data centers are meeting their promises to be eligible for the exemption.”

Fascinating. I’ve been saying for years that public discourse around economic inequality and taxation is far too timid, too wedded to assumptions that favour the current ruling class. Piketty makes some excellent points:

"How do you live in a world that you don't understand? What you do is you try and cover your downside for losses and open for the upside. And for that you need to be corrigible. You need to be open to being wrong."
This was a summary of Nassim Taleb's "Antifragile" book according to Mark Blyth, political economist.

No similar bill exists for any other foreign military.
