Since the Great Depression, which president has had the best, and which has had the worst, economic performance? Just as you would expect, FDR is best by a mile, and Donald Trump is worst by a mile.

World Economic Situation and Prospects 2024.
Extended period of low economic growth looms large, undermining progress on sustainable development.
The world economy in 2023 proved to be resilient, exceeding expectations with an estimated growth rate of 2.7 per cent, higher than the 2.3 per cent forecast last May. However, this better-than-expected performance masks underlying short-term risks and structural vulnerabilities. The World Economic Situation and Prospects 2024, launched today in New York, presents a sombre economic outlook for the near term, with global growth in 2024 projected to slow to 2.4 per cent. Persistently high interest rates, potential escalation of conflicts, sluggish international trade, and increasing climate disasters, pose significant challenges to the world economy.

Jobless claims jump to 211,000, the highest since Christmas. Blame New York.
The numbers: The number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits in early March jumped to a 10-week high of 211,000. Yet most of the increase was concentrated in New York and might not signal a broader cooling-off trend in the U.S. labor market. New U.S. applications for benefits rose 21,000 from 190,000 in the prior week, the government said Thursday. The numbers are seasonally…

SERBISYO
something from the vault! freeing this comic from my drafts; this was an older idea, just messing around with a scene earlier on in crassus' career. love a guy who. uhhh. exploits tragedy to his benefit. christ. something something the politics of opportunity.
there was originally a follow up to this about the benefits of knowing when cold hard cash is the way to go, but I realized about five minutes ago it would be a better fit to place it during the catilinarian conspiracy arc. which means I should figure out a design for catiline for real.
#roman republic tag#drawing tag#komiks tag#me??? draw catiline consistently????? absolutely not#i might have to just bite the bullet and commit to james purefoy's performance as antony as my basis for catiline#cause i got nothing. that guy is an eel in the sense that i cannot maintain a grip on him#i have decided to spare everyone the ordeal of ten million citations discussing the roman economy#partially because im very tired right now and my pdf app is freezing up#(blows a kiss) for crassus. that motherfucker. i read books on economics in my spare time now because of him

A Tale of a Thousand Stars answers the age-old question: What if Hallmark movies were good?
#and recognized the geopolitics of rural aid work lol#atots#1000 stars#earthmix#it has every cliche but invests in it until its fresh and meaningful again#did the city girl go to the countryside?#yes#(and then she came back and got hit by a car and her heart got transplanted into a spoiled bratty bottom)#did the protagonist find a more meaningful way to live?#also yes#(but it took effort and support and numerous trials and failures and disruptions to the whole village's livelihood#because of his ignorance and the corrupt economic systems at work)#did the protagonist find true love?#also also yes#(but it was gay and it was as much about self-forgiveness as love for that man and others#plus he had to accept his other responsibilities outside of the village and leave rather than simply running away from the world)#i'm just saying#also no one in hallmark movies is giving the kind of performances that earthmix deliver here#a tale of a thousand stars

Hey, yanno how Climate Change is a real thing that is tangibly, at this moment, affecting our world?
Well it turns out, the wealthy and their investment firms have been seeing the mounting evidence that oil companies have had for decades and are slowly starting to think more long-term about their portfolios in the face of rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and the myriad of ways climate crises are affecting...well. Everything. Maybe this means they invest more into sustainability, green energy, building more resilient infrastructure, or carbon offsets. Some of it, of course, is simple corporate greenwashing, but there are those that are taking this trend and packaging it into something called ESG (Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance).
Now some people would say this is predictable, even sensible. Just the good ol’ Free Market(tm) rationally responding to market forces and a changing world.
But those people would be fools! Insidious fools! For conservative sorcerers have come out with a new cursed phrase to explain this new market trend: Woke Investing.
What makes this investing “woke?” Well, much like how conservatives normally flounder when trying to define a word they stole from black people, “Woke Investing” essentially just means any kind of capital investment that they, the fossil fuel billionaire class and their sycophants, don’t personally profit from.
One of these aforementioned sycophants is Andy Puzder, conservative commentator, fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and former fast-food CEO. He calls this kind of so-called woke investing “socialism in sheep’s clothing,” further explaining in leaked audio of a closed-door meeting:
“My father's generation's challenge was the Nazis, who, by the way, were, of course, very proud socialists[citation fucking needed]. The challenge of my generation was the communists, who were, of course, very committed socialists. The challenge of your generation is ESG investing, and it's more insidious than communism or the Nazis.”(source)
You heard it here first, folks. Not investing as much in fossil fuels is more insidious than the Third Fucking Reich.
As usual, the Heritage Foundation is putting their petro-chemical donor’s money where their mouth is. Bills are being proposed to blacklist banks that don’t invest in key state industries, such as West Virginia coal or Texas oil. Fourteen states have already passed bills to restrict ESG-type investing, with Florida Governor Ron “Bullies Kids for Wearing Masks” Desantis leading the charge.
In other words, Climate Denial has reached such a point that so-called Free Market Conservatives who claim to hate big government are trying to make it illegal for banks, investment firms, and financial institutions to make any financial decisions that acknowledges Climate Change is real.
#of course ESG has also been used to describe any kind of internal corporate action#to increase diversity in the work place or implementing new anti-discrimination policies#(which are usually more performative than actually meaningful but that's a separate issue)#a Republican Presidential candidate#Vivek Ramaswamy#has even made ESG investing his personal bugbear#writing such books as 'Woke Inc' and warning of socially conscious investors ''forcing'' companies they invest in#to devote resources to environmental and social policies that are anathema to the right#which is just...a brand new invented crisis by a political movement#in constant need of a crisis to rally their base and justify for draconian legal controls#to favor certain industries and undercut their competition#all under the guise of red scare-type moral and economic panic#ESG#Woke Politics#Climate Change#Capitalism#Republicans#Investment

The Long Good Friday (1980)
"Alan found him dying. He'd been nailed to the floor."
"When was this, then?"
"Well, it must've been just after you saw him and just before Alan saw him. Otherwise, you'd have noticed, wouldn't you? I mean, a geezer nailed to the floor. A man of your education would definitely have spotted that, wouldn't he?"
#the long good friday#british cinema#1980#john mackenzie#barrie keeffe#bob hoskins#helen mirren#derek thompson#eddie constantine#stephen davies#bryan marshall#p.h. moriarty#paul freeman#dave king#patti love#pierce brosnan#brian hall#paul barber#francis monkman#I'm late to this party but hell‚ this one deserves its reputation. an incendiary‚ even prophetic film; a perfectly timed capturing of that#moment everything in the uk shifted as Thatcher took power‚ capitalism became truly king‚ and with it came the dawn of the yuppie mindset#the legitimisation of the London underworld‚ gentrification and a new age of international aspirations: the US‚ Europe‚ and the New Britain#desperately shedding its dusty‚ working man's image to appear (like Hoskins here) to be civilised and refined and (crucially) a going#concern in economic turns. but underneath it all there's still the razors and the bigotry and corruption. all time Hoskins performance here#giving it everything and absolutely killing it (the final scenes among the best of his impressive career). but there's everyone else‚ too;#every single role seems tonbe a familiar face‚ right down to mute background roles. Keeffe's script is sharp and funny but it's also#unashamedly complex; the plot is labyrinthine‚ underneath the simple conceit‚ and never feels the need to spoonfeed what's happening and#why. topped off with a great moody synth score that's sparingly but effectively used. happy to say this one lives up to the hype#and Derek Thompson‚ as he so often was‚ is brilliant. between this and his tv work from the era (Harry's Game and The Price especially) he#really had the makings of a true star (but if he was happy in Casualty all those years‚ so be it)

every day i open twitter and read the dumbest take of a 4th gen stan imaginable. or a 3rd gen stan, for that matter.
#like okay we get it you cannot comprehend the pull and economical significance of pre-streaming era success but don’t make it my problem#and this entire ‘2nd gen was ASS’ tweet debate… just shut up for the love of god#and STOP disrespecting the hard work these performers put in (much harder work than now. tbh) to put kpop on the map for you to find it#it’s so annoying#without 2nd gen groups there would be no skz or twice or newjeans for you to stan now shut the fuck up#kaz talks

Character bingo: Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, the woman the myth the legend
Her.
#i have like. two very distinct strata of thought when it comes to liz. 1 is practically diegetic which is that i worship the ground she#walks on. i love this woman. no flaws. whatever liz says is the truth.#strata two is i think liz stoddard is a Very Compelling case study on the expectations of womanhood in a post-ww2 america#(but always with previous centuries leaning very heavily on her shoulders)#that liz is under certain expectations when it comes to her performance of femininity; of domesticity; of wealth (and of achieving tangible#economic success in the business); of heterosexual marriage and of motherhood#and on the one hand liz is Constantly performing and she does very well; she has made herself into a myth and is all but above reproach by#most if not everyone in the town; her word is Truth. she's more than queen; she's practically divinity.#on the other hand. all those facets of the perfect midcentury mother and wife and matriarch have fracture lines in them.#a husband who has been long missing (killed); the house is shuttered and rotting; as she is shuttered and rotting#anyway. she's fun. i don't necessarily think everyone is wrong about them per se but i do cherish my interpretation of#liz's story threats as reflective of comp het and violence enacted on sapphic women through the institution of marriage#in liz's era; marrying paul in the immediate post wwii period in the midst of the lavender scare;#when the new american heteronormative ideal was forming; and liz has to Perform; and through marriage runs into truly nightmarish violence.#all this to say. wow what a character. thank you joan and art.#➤ answered. ┊ Collinsport 4099.#➤ meme responses. ┊ boo !#dying-suffering-french-stalkers

idk why but something about the monetization of the amelia project annoys me way more than other podcasts. they're not doing anything worse than anyone else who uses acast but i hate it more
#not tagging this bc it's just my private grump#is it the ads in the middle of the episode? no bc sherlock and co does that (tho they started the show like that and they tell you it's com#coming so you aren't just blasted w ads)#is it the 5 minutes of ad on either end of the ep? yeah but everyone who uses acast has those. the dungeon economic model sometimes had more#ad than episode#is it the way they plug their patreon? it's definitely part of it#bc shoutouts and bonus content are the NORM for patreons. old gods of appalachia has whole seasons on their patreon. some of them are longer#than seasons on the show#BUT you know what nobody else i have ever heard does? make it seem like they're keeping the show hostage until you pay them#but like. camlann said they'd only make a season 2 with enough patreon support too#i think it's the individual episodes released on the public feed after they hit patreon goals#bc you KNOW that ep has been written performed and produced in its entirety#otherwise they wouldn't drop it the day they hit a goal#like people deserve to get paid for making art! but idk when they do it it feels so much more greedy than most shows
