More houses are on sale around the country than a year ago; but that doesn't mean the supply is increasingly, notes Ronan Lyons in The Housing Essay https://t.co/PA9vHLCi9u
@FCentinello Agree with the general point. But if you are into 'science literacy advocacy', I would suggest not to use USD-based GDP for cross-countries/blocks comparatives. It is highly questionable.
Brazil is to be renamed Bramerica after Lula is brought to the US to face a trial for sponsoring fishing boats. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
BREAKING: In an unprecedented comeback, Brazil's President Lula da Silva has defeated Flavio Bolsonaro, securing a 4th term in office.
Lula is officially the first presidential candidate in Brazil's modern democratic history to lose the first round of voting and go on to win the runoff.
Prior to the election, Lula's implied odds of victory had fallen as low as 10%.
This marks one of the most remarkable political comebacks in Brazil's history.
Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a vocal critic of U.S. President Donald Trump, was reelected Sunday.
His opponent Flávio Bolsonaro refused to concede defeat and asked for the election results to be annulled due to a last-minute decision extended voting by two hours.
@AlbertMoon16 I don't think it is a 'horseshoe'. I think it is the problem of populism, and it inhabits both extremes. There are genuine and ideologically-definable differences between centre-left and centre-right. But the further you travel to the extremes, the more things converge.
Fundamentally, the Far Right today is largely the Far Left and vice versa. Neither is capable of any fiscal discipline, and both operate on "Let's find some scapegoats to blame for market/government/cultural/social failures".
For all the hand wringing about the ‘far right’, it turns out the far left is a real danger to society. This week’s @Independent_ie column
