All of this👆 turns decades of trade logic on its head.
The prevailing assumption was always that you ship anything low value and only fly HIGH VALUE items.
But in e-commerce you can pay £2 or so for a T-shirt and get it FLOWN over from China. How on earth do the sums add up?

Syria: Pastor Khaled Mazhar – along with 12 members of his family – were murdered by HTS Islamists inside their home in Sweida (Suwayda).

The Druze-background pastor led the Good Shepherd Evangelical Church in that city.

Those killed include children and the elderly.

A daughter of the pastor survived but is injured and needs your prayers.

There is only one word to describe this atrocity: evil.

Russia strikes Ukrainian church older than Moscow.

In history's largest drone attack on a city, Putin's Islamist Iranian drones damaged Kyiv's sublime St. Sofia Cathedral—a 1,000-year-old sanctuary that survived Mongols, Nazis, and Stalin.

This isn't just an attack on Ukraine. It's an attack on Western civilization by barbarian hordes. | Watch what they're trying to erase 🎥 ⤵️

You may recall a spate of stories a few years ago about appalling working conditions & abysmally low pay in Leicester's clothes factories.
The hope was those stories would shame businesses into improving working conditions.
But here's what ACTUALLY happened next...

When the jihadists arrived in Aleppo they found something to fight with - a Christmas tree of a Christian family.

More than ever before we need prayers for the safety of the Christian community in Syria. Al-Qaeda won’t tolerate them for too long.

The ‘rebels’ in Syria are hardline Islamist extremists. They are not our friends.

"Sale of HS2 land to lose £100m of taxpayers’ money"

Sunak is selling it off in great haste at a massive loss just to scorch the earth so that Labour have no chance whatsoever of reviving the project.

It's as simple, cynical and destructive as that.

Dear @midjourney

You’re killing me.
Your model has been using my work+name for over 10k times, and that’s just the public forums. Can you remove my work and block my name from your generator? I’m sure you understand how deeply unethical this situation is.
