This is a really good point about regulation more widely. A lot of regulation gets complicated because the industry being regulated likes it that way.

It is actually possible to regulate gambling advertising, and while designing such a regulatory regime could be complicated, it can also be very simple, such as "there shall be no gambling advertising".

Wonder what's happened to the USS Abraham Lincoln. IRGC claim they damaged it, marinetraffic reckons it's somewhere near Indonesia. Not somewhere it'd be if it was participating in the war.

Make sure your loved ones aren't operating on out of date priors about intermittent renewables: tell them batteries are now an economical supplement generating full time dispatchable power from them. "How falling battery costs are igniting race for round-the-clock solar power"

It's quite incredible how it's somehow taboo to say the obvious truth about the UK, which is that it's a well integrated society where most people just get on with their lives no problem. Apart from a core of extremely insulated journalists and politicians who refuse to be integrated.

Just read this story and it is very misleading. It mentions wiping out Β£18.7bn in wealth, but that wealth only exists due to the right to rip off leaseholders. The Β£8.7bn "landlords" windfall is because some of the leaseholders benefitting will be landlords.

This "you can't solve many problems by taxing the rich" has been the conventional wisdom for ages among wonks but I'm not sure it still holds. The sheer number of problems you can trace back to the ever increasing wealth of the rich is just huge.

A big part of why these people were ignored is that they were dismissed as "out of touch middle class" and that shut a lot of people up for a while because they kind of suspected it might be true.

Before seeing this, I didn't know: - What those leaflets actually said - That the leaflet featured Netanyahu as well as Modi. The message on them is just so inoccuous. People complaining about them should be checking their own racism.
