Amazon drought disrupts river transportation, raises manufacturing costs in Brazil
Estimates suggest the dry season will impose R$1.3 billion in additional costs on the Manaus Free Trade Zone
The Negro River in Amazonas has reached 12.1 meters this year, its lowest level in over a century. In some tributaries, what used to be waterways has turned into fields dominated by wild rice and mud. A local saying encapsulates the situation: “During the floods, you lose everything, but the drought kills you.”
For the second consecutive year, the state of Amazonas is enduring a severe dry season. In 2023, the Negro River in Manaus measured 12.7 meters, the lowest level since official records began, in 1902. Still, that was more than half a meter higher than the level recorded in 2024. By comparison, the previous record low occurred in 2010, when the river reached 13.63 meters.
Last year, images of dead river dolphins and stranded cargo vessels were common due to the low water levels. This year, with conditions even worse, the scenes have repeated. In a region where rivers serve as the main transportation routes both within the state and beyond, the impacts range from daily life to the balance sheets of companies based in the Manaus Industrial Hub (PIM). The most severe effects are felt socially, as low water levels lead to forced isolation, supply shortages, and challenges in registering for social programs.
The Amazonas State Industry Center (CIEAM) estimates the drought has added over R$1.3 billion in costs for Manaus Free Trade Zone companies. This amount is slightly lower than the extra expenses reported in 2023. To mitigate the worsening effects of the drought, companies have extended their stockpiles and even relocated floating ports. Despite these measures, a survey of PIM sectors revealed that 87% of companies were affected by the so-called drought surcharge, which includes increased freight costs, storage fees for products in third-party warehouses, and additional charges from container transport ships.

The Haven
Just barely beyond the outer limits of zone six to the south east, The Self Storage Safe Haven is built, as one might guess, out of the shell of an old storage warehouse. Far, far out of the way of both the city and most 'joys, its hard work to keep it livable. They've had to built a lookout post –not unlike a free standing hunting blind– out of recovered material to stand some way out ahead of the building and keep an eye on the quick changes of the weather and dangerous wildlife. Still, it's the safest thing you'll find on the seven side of the line for miles and miles around, and if you need to lay low, there's no better place to do it. As long as you don't mind an empty horizon, the occasional thunderous sandstorm, and long cold nights echoing with the howls of what are probably coyotes, that is.
Surely part of some community or other in its heyday, the Haven is isolated, now. There are no neighboring buildings around as far as the eye can see, except the rubble of some old something that can't even be identified to the north. Whatever happened around it, the Haven stood firm, with only some damage to the roof and several missing windows which have been repaired and patched by the crew over time. Outer walls made of foot thick brick will do that. Inside, a fair amount of old-world junk remained, and the crew have sorted it and sold it and traded with it. Most of what was useful has been put to use or traded away, but some obscure corners still lurk, potentially hiding treasures.
Ground floor.
The front office has become a sort of communal area, where an assorted rabble of residents will fall together, but also the landing place for unfamiliar faces. The other employee space on the ground floor has been converted into an infirmary: it houses most of their first aid supplies and they've taken to calling it 'the clinic'. After shuffling things around and consolidating, the empty and emptied storage units were repurposed into rooms for the crew, as well as an extensive setup for broadcasting, and a 'library' of rescued books and handwritten accounts of the zones which were gathered by an old ally and left at the Haven for safekeeping. Some of the more solidly built units are more solidly locked - the crew has yet to find a way into the blacked out units without effectively destroying the structure. Outside the walls but inside the fence, a canopy protects the Haven's garden from the worst of the sun. Note: the unlabeled units aren't necessarily completely empty, but most have been swept clean.
Second Level.
Mostly empty space over the storage units (which are topped by fencing to prevent climbing from one to the other, but the open design led to easier climate control, when that was someone's concern for this place) but there's two upper office spaces at the front, and "the loft" at the back. The unclaimed office upstairs, though it has no official or specific purpose and could always turn into something else someday, currently almost serves its original purpose: any time Jack needs everyone in one room, he drags them in there. Tech jokingly refers to it as "the briefing room", while RKO routinely complains of 'conference room' lectures. The loft, being the top of the rearmost units, was almost certainly not made to be inhabited. That has not stopped the more mischievous among the crew from storing painting supplies there and turning it into a general hangout space.
The Crew
the Jack of All Trades — early-mid 30s. The Haven's leader. Tech's older brother. Colton's father. Former 'crow from the middle city. Jack makes some 'joys uncomfortable with his still, stoic front, but is recognized with respect in most trading circles and cheering approval from Regal Riotess's sparring ring in zone three. A bit of a mechanic, a bit of a musician, a bit of a builder - what it says on the tin, he's a little good at a lot of things.
Colton — under 10. Jack's young son. Zone born and too young to really have made a niche, but the crew (much to Jack's consternation) have already nicknamed him into a moniker: Colorblind Colt. Despite his age and a somewhat sickly nature he's already a fast-talking clever-clogs, too. He's going to be trouble when he gets older. [If they can protect him that long.]
Desert Phantom — mid-late 20s. Leader of the Desert Deaths. Former neutral from the Neon Slums, Phantom ran for the desert as a young thing and quickly built a befuddling and contradictory reputation. Often mistaken as laid back thanks to a friendly, flirty nature, he's a natural leader and instigator who gained recognition when he was promoted to lead of the infamous Desert Death's crew at a young age. A mechanic by trade and motorbaby at heart, even with the Haven as a landing place, including a space inside, he mostly lives out of his car. He travels a fair amount, running interference with BL/ind patrols and checking in on the various dealings of his crew.
Desert Dusk — mid 20s. member of the Desert Deaths. Closely bonded to Phantom and Dawn, and otherwise holding an utterly shrouded past except the known fact that she's survived the extinction of the rest of her previous group, whoever they were. (That's the bar of entry for any member of the Desert Deaths crew: survive your last). Sensible and spiritual, Des is an acolyte of the Lady of Sorrows, a desert deity. She has no one particular niche unless you're seeking a prayer, and makes herself useful as a general second set of eyes and hands.
Desert Dawn — teens. member of the Desert Deaths. Dawn's the last survivor of a peaceful settlement BL/ind attacked in 2024. Still working out her niche. Presently trying to learn fighting. She's never lost in the zones, either by some quirk or a skill she's not sure how to articulate. The Haven's youngest (aside from Colton obv) and somewhat sheltered and maybe just a little bit coddled; mostly her 'job' as it were is.. to be alive whilst young and bright and, somehow, despite it all, bubbly and happy. If Jack's the collective's older brother, Dawn's their collective younger sister.
Wild — early-mid 20s. Really a child of the Zones, even if she wasn't born there. Various crews kept an eye on her in a it-takes-a-village kind of way after she was left to find her own way at a tender age, but she's always gone where the wind took her. She earns her carbons running errands across the zones. In particular, she finds herself regularly in and out of neutral settlements as something of a go-between when they need to trade with proper Killjoys. She's just as likely (if not more so) to be found living out of her van with her mutt Beans as she is to be making use of the brightly painted space set aside for her at the Haven. [written by @/hvndredstories]
Arachnid — early-mid 30s. Unofficial second in command.The older brother of Boo. A rough home life and mistreatment from the City's systems drove them out to the desert. He and Boo had an up-and-down journey together and separately. Arachnid left his brother in the care of an old crew of theirs for a time, settling into himself without the responsibilities and expectations he'd held himself to for so long. The Haven is home now, and the Haven's garden where you'll find him most often. He's happy to help where he's needed, but keeps mostly to himself unless specifically sought out or charged with heading things up. [written by @/hvndredstories]
Boo — mid 20s. Still going through a delayed rebellious phase and ignoring his personal baggage. Sort of a resident pain in the ass when he's not finding his way inward to the mindless, alcohol-soaked chaos of the Zones' party scene. Not particularly helpful; Arachnid tends to make up for it. (It's probably a point of contention, at least from Boo's end.) He's got a good eye for spotting the unsavory types, if you can get him to focus long enough to look. [written by @/hvndredstories]
Violet Sigh — early 20s. Living in the zones for as long as she can remember, Vi couldn't tell you if she was born there or in the city, she just knows life is hard when you're living off the scraps. After some time spent turning tricks to make her way, she found herself on the Haven's doorstep. Now she's their in-house weapons modifier. Though not book educated, she excels at working with ammunition and explosives. She's repurposed a healthy handful of city charge into a security perimeter that guards the Haven's flank. (It's best not to approach through the back fence....) Though typically taciturn, Vi is also a social chameleon and great to have along when dealing with other crews.
Foxtrot — teens. Former member of the Sugar Babies. Former member of the Acoustic Devils. A runaway from the city from a painfully young age. It's a miracle he made it out. After some time bouncing around the desert, Fox landed with the Acoustic Devils and began to make his way...only for hard times to fall. Fox (and RKO) got separated from the pack and haven't been able to find a whisper of what happened to any of their old crew since. This landed them at the Haven. Now, fleet-footed little Fox is the Haven's paper boy (a messenger) and Jack's second shadow, eager to learn and prove himself.
RKO — late teens-twenties. Former member of the Acoustic Devils. Zone-raised, if not zone-born, K is a young man with a million contacts, making him surprisingly social for someone who doesn't get out much. After losing most of his crew, he's become reluctant to brave the desert's wild. He devotes his time instead to DJing: he runs a pirate radio station called The Fence which he runs from the Haven. Rolling out music and chatter all hours to keep company with those on the wind, he also broadcasts encoded warnings appraising the outer zones of bad weather and patrol movements, which he gathers through his connections across the desert an with other DJs. He also has a weekly segment where he spends hours reading off messages gathered from all over the zones- broad calls from crews and families who have been separated trying to reconnect with each other, or let each other know they're safe.
Lady Diamond (/Diana) — early 20s. A former security oriented drac from the center city. Di fled for the zones after a personal conflict of hers escalated to heights that got her labeled as a security risk and traitor. It's been a couple years since then, and while she's not exactly the most colorful resident of the zones, she's grown (begrudgingly) fond of the Haven, and even gained a proper moniker to use along with her 'city' name. A fighting expert and tactician. She's also proven to be great in the garden, which is easily her favorite thing about being out of the city.
Lithium Legend — early-mid 20s. Former neutral. [I will not try to detail too much background wise because this character belongs to a friend of mine and I'm worried I'm misremembering it/she might have adjusted it a little recently. As Lith relates to the Haven:] She is a secondary, in-a-pinch kind of medic, skilled mostly with folk remedies and what she's learned from Tox. She's also primary overseer of the Haven's little garden, which grows mostly plants used in those remedies, but some food. And some frivolous little guys that aren't "useful" at all, but generally liven the place up. She's also, aside from Jack, the person who looks after Colton the most, and is an excellent teacher. She and Tox are committed/consider themselves married.
Jonny Tox Screen — mid 20s. Former center-city Prodigy™. Former neutral. Presently, exhausted at all times forever and doing his best. A son of the city's elite, Tox is technically a walking talking experiment. The details are fuzzy even to him, but the general idea was in-utero enhancement, and the city loved to take credit for his above-average ability to learn when he was young. He was fast-tracked through schooling, earning medical accolades in his middle teens, and to make a very long and complex story very short and simple, he fled when the city just kept expecting more of him. He is the Haven's primary medic, and makes regular trips to other zones to offer aid to other killjoy groups. (Often paid in some kind of trade, but sometimes he helps for no cost at all.) He and Lith are committed/consider themselves married.
Techno Havoc — early-mid 20s. Jack's younger sister. A regular but arguably not truly a member of the crew, given her come-and-go ways. She's too busy being fundamentally unsettled and running as smuggler for the Desert Deaths and playing games with a certain Snake to stick around all the time. A hacker and general problem causer, she earns her personal carbons (separate from the smuggling shtick) mostly by her work with transmitters these days, building customs and jailbreaking the standard arrays.
Other Allies
Desert Vendetta — early 30s. A member of the Desert Deaths. She lives in the city under the name Amber Park and serves as a spy and contact point; Tech's stable landing place on the city side of the wall.
Redeye Rush & the Weasel — mid 20s. Scavengers and traders of the Wind Stop trading post (a converted gas station) in Zone Three. Red is an easygoing mechanic and musician. Weasel is a sharp-tongued weapons modifier gifted at irritating people and procuring rare and/or obscure supplies. They talk big (that is, the Weasel does) but cut incredibly forgiving deals for the desert's less fortunate more often than not. Both have been under Jack's wing at one point or another, and are close to Tox, Lith, and Tech. The Weasel is Diana's older brother.
Vivace — mid 20s. Trader of the Wind Stop. former leader and current contact/supplier of the Sugar Babies, an all-femme crew that makes a habit of robbing and beating up the creeps found in the zones, hailing to the notion that dead men don't catcall. Foxtrot is a former member of Viv's gang, and she's also close with Tech, Vi, and Phantom.
Regal Riotess — mid 40s. Free spirit and entertainer at heart, and also the queen of brawling. Tess runs a sparing/fighting ring in zone three with a small but notoriously formidable crew. She's real fond of Jack, and any kids of his are more than welcome in her stretch of sand.
Midnight Massacre — ???. Old-world military type who runs deals you're better off not knowing the details of. He's in Tech's corner, at least, if not the whole Haven (though it seems to at least vaguely extend in the others' direction.) The "guest" unit is more or less specifically for him and/or Mouse. [written by @/hvndredstories]
the Mouse Bombs — ???. Remnant of the old desert, the last of the House of Snow. More of a shut-in than anything else these days, spending a great deal of her time secluded in a stretch of the ridges in the outer zones. Close with Tech & friendly enough with Jack. The "guest" unit is more or less specifically for her and/or Midnight.
Kobra Kid — several years into his second life. Another "tied to Tech, specifically", though he's been 'round the Haven once or twice. Ask no questions and you'll get no lies.
TJ & Time Keeper — mid 50s. Former runners of the Wind Stop. TJ is former city, an engineer who fled from the horrors his work was used to enact. Keeper -a close contact of Mayhem (Jack & Tech's mother)- is a remnant of the older desert and someone who never belonged to the city. They went on a nondescript scouting journey and stopped responding to radio hailings after awhile, though now and then a signal persists. missing.
Toxic Fairydust — late 20s. Colton's mother. Singer and dancer once part of a traveling group, Dusty fell in with Jack and Tech early on and stuck with them for a number of years. After Colton's birth and a harrowing clash with a former friend, she became withdrawn. Then, with a single-sentence note ( "I'll be back in a bit") she was gone. Nobody's heard from her since. presumed dead.

TORY PARTY MANIFESTO 2024 SUMMARY
tldr: little rishi is liz truss now. words 8, 9 and 10 of the manifesto are 'covid and ukraine', so they're swinging hard on excusemaking, and it's very negativist and defensive - attacking labour and justifying their terrible government. they know they’re losing so it’s a mess in an attempt to stop their base voting reform. this is the only major manifesto whose headings are written in serif, tryna act all official and luxe
💷ECONOMY
flat-rate employee national insurance cuts from 12% to 6% over the next two financial years, allegedly cutting income taxation for a £35k/a worker by £1,350 (their numbers) BUT also giving the highest 'employee' earners this same tax-cut
trickle-down economics: keep corporation tax at extreme lows
exempt the self-employed from national insurance contributions, essentially cutting overall income taxation by a couple percent
specific, direct threat to cut benefits for 'people of working age with a disability or health condition', restrict PIP entitlements with harsher assessments, massively expand 'fit to work' status over people with mental health and mobility conditions to remove benefits from 400k people (despite the current regime leading to misery and deaths), transfer fit note responsibility from GPs to the dwp to restrict more benefits, reduce the 'claimant review' date from 18 months to 12 months without work
transition child benefit entitlements to be based on 'household' earnings rather than individual earnings
"we will not increase the number of council tax bands, undertake an expensive council tax revaluation or cut council tax discounts, as labour is currently doing in wales", preventing councils from getting more property tax revenue whilst not increasing their funding from anywhere, enabling more and more and more and more councils to shit themselves and die, letting them blame labour for "bankrupting" the councils that the central government themselves squeezed to death
ban councils doing four-day week schemes
reduce net borrowing – curious considering the unfunded nature of the manifesto proposals
increase taxes on online distribution warehouses "to help the high street" [citation needed]
"use brexit freedoms" to recategorise many 'large' businesses as 'medium', exempting them from reporting requirements and allowing them to exploit their workers more
more fucking 'freeport' special economic zones
'strengthen the commonwealth' because that's the favourite excuse of europhobic excusemakers acting like severing trade with the mainland wasn't a horrifically bad idea. india and malaysia do not give a shit about us mate and it's ridiculous to think australia and guyana could ever offer as much economic integration as the mainland can
do nothing to supervise or control the City with a specific eye to doing nothing about "fintech" and "ai"
economic commitment to continue union-busting and restricting union rights, 'continue implementing' the so-called 'minimum service levels legislation' to enable strikebreaking and mandatory scabbing
🏥PUBLIC SERVICES
continue the privatisation of the NHS but with a focus on small/medium enterprises
expand, that's right, expand the indefensible multi-academy trusts, build more indefensible 'free schools' (ie with private charters, no oversight, and public cash), expand faith schools, strengthen ofsted to be even more bureaufascistic against attacks after that headteacher's suicide
continue and enforce the ongoing propaganda push into primary schools, "we will always support teachers to uphold and promote fundamental British values"
'close university courses with the worst outcomes' [clarification needed], again, threatening the higher education sector into compliance with their whims
stick all children not in school on a register
make the NHS app a single frontend for all NHS stuff
slash the size of the civil service and 'bring quango spending under control', incorporate so-called 'ai' into the civil service [clarification needed]
🏠HOUSING
lax planning laws including environmental protections and opportunities for legal challenge, and force councils to set aside land for builders, to allow more private-finance soulless newbuild sprawl, with no new infrastructure, no new community, only house-for-sale after house-for-sale
target the building of mcmansions on inner-city brownfields
expand help-to-buy for these horrible newbuilds
restrict social housing along xenophobic and classist lines: "we will legislate for new ‘local connection’ and ‘uk connection’ tests for social housing in england, to ensure this valuable but limited resource is allocated fairly"
'reform' leaseholds and cap ground rents, not abolishing this indefensible stain
give 105 towns a pathetic £20m
🚄TRANSPORT ?
build northern powerhouse rail including Bradford Station "using money saved from HS2" and £12b more, and upgrade the east midlands mainline
lax planning restrictions on new strategic (big and polluting) roads
deliver money centrally for transport projects: £1.75b for the midlands rail hub, a pathetic £1b for buses in the north AND in the midlands, and £13b for 'local priorities' to 'cut congestion' (read: roads)
introduce a specific 'death by dangerous cycling' offence
"automated vehicles will be on British roads in the next parliament"🤮
ban low-traffic neighbourhoods except on a 'road by road basis' 'with the support of the people who live there' and create a statutory right to challenge existing LTNs
"labour’s incoherent and ideological nationalisation plan would put the trade unions in charge", ie the incoming british railways (being set up) will continue the indefensible franchise-concession system that emerged after the final collapse of the franchise system in 2020
"include measures to reform outdated working practises in the rail industry" – ie forcing through driver-only trains and other things the drivers are striking against, possibly requiring strikebreaking them
👮FORCE
"in recent months we have seen shocking increases in protests being used as a cover for extremist disruption and criminality. we cannot allow a small and vocal minority to destroy our democratic values. that is why we unveiled a new extremism definition under which certain groups that promote an ideology based on violence, hatred or intolerance will be blocked from government funding and meeting officials. we have passed tough new laws to curb disruptive protests. our public order act 2023 [ie the Bill that the kill the bill protests were trying to kill] gave the police new powers to intervene where protests cause serious disruption to communities, leading to the arrests of over 600 just stop oil and extinction rebellion protestors in London alone. we will introduce further powers to ban face coverings, pyrotechnics and climbing on war memorials. we will strengthen police powers to prevent protests or marches that pose a risk of serious disorder, by allowing police to take into account the cumulative impact of protests"
"building on our new powers for the police, we will further speed up the use and enforcement of powers to remove illegal traveller sites, while giving councils greater planning powers to prevent unauthorised development by travellers", furthering the ongoing clampdown on the civil rights of our country's GRT people
surge funding for the armed forces
deliberate target to be europe's largest arms exporter by 2030 no i am not fucking joking
sabrerattle at the 'Axis of Hostile Actors' (russia, china, iran), giving a catchy name to the other side of this little cold war of theirs
abuse the permanent un council seat as much as possible
"we will push for a two-state solution in the middle east - our long-standing position has been that we will recognise a palestinian state that is most conductive to the peace process" [oxymoronic – SEE ME]
roll out broken windows policing
mandatory minimum of life for 'most heinous murderers', prohibit parole for rapists
not enact Leveson 2 and allow the press hate speech and corruption to continue, proceed with centralised renegotiation of BBC funding with all statecapture (or the effects of the threats thereof) that may entail
half-baked national service proposal. look, they know they're gonna lose so they've come up with this faff to win over their base. all 18-year-olds (no specific enumeration given so i'm guessing it means from yer 18th birthday to 19th birthday, interfering with exams and start of uni) forced to do one weekend a month 'community volunteering', or get one of 30k places in the military (out of a typical annual cohort of 400k) for a year, so the troops get distracted from their warcrimes by being forced to do childcare lmao. the compulsion to do this is not enumerated, with one rogue minister suggesting fines could fall at the feet of the parents of these adult people. takeaway: this is total nonsense and they don't have to make it make sense so who cares
legal cap on work and family visas, screen migrants for health conditions and force them to pay if they need treatment, do the rwanda concentration camp scheme, ban asylum seekers from countries 'that don't work with us', mass deportations of illegals [clarification needed]
LEAVE THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS if it finds against the rwanda concentration camp scheme
expand the NCA with a focus on being the hostile environment
promote the imperialistic ambitions of the anglosphere and english as the cosmocratic imperial lingua franca
only 30k of the so-called 'national service' would in the military, so basically forcing the military to do daycare
commitment to continued strikebreaking and union-busting
force landlords to evict "antisocial" tenants in a 'three strikes and you're out' policy
ban mobile phones in schools
pledge for a Bad Internet Bill to restrict online content, 'carefully consider' the bertin review to implement hostile measures against pornography
🌱CLIMATE ?
build new gas power stations and accelerate oil and gas extraction in the north sea
treble offshore wind, in line with labour's proposals
invest £1b into green energy – a pathetically small amount
approve more nuclear reactors
carbon credit scheme for imports of materials
restrict the mandate of the climate change committee
force solar power stations to be a minimum distance from another solar power station 'to protect rural landscapes'
allow nimby organisations to prevent onshore wind
reverse the ultra-low emissions zone expansion
slowly work towards a deposit-return system
a new national park. a new one. a. one
🗳️DEMOCRACY ?
"we remain committed to the first past the post system for elections, maintaining the direct link with the local voter. we will not change the voting age rom 18. we will maintain rules to tackle voting fraud, including the requirement to show id"
"we believe the governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland now have the right balance of powers"
"we will bring forward legislation to reapply the entirety of the trade union act 2016 (ie restricting the rights of unions) to wales. and a welsh conservative government would reverse labour's plans to expand the senedd" [relevance - this isn't a manifesto for the senedd election]
expand the useless sticking-plaster combined authorities, give powers first to Tees Valley in bare-faced partisan corruption
🏳️⚧️REACTIONARY AGENDA
"biological sex is a reality. the overwhelming majority of people in this country recognise that. it has been more than a decade since the equality act was passed by a labour government. it has not kept pace with evolving interpretations and is not sufficiently clear on when it means sex and when it means gender. the next conservative government will introduce primary legislation to clarify that the protected characteristic of sex in the equality act means biological sex. this will guarantee that single sex services and single sex spaces can be provided, for example in healthcare and sports settings, to ensure women and girls are protected"
"in recent years, an increasing number of children have started questioning their gender, the consequences of which are still unknown. parents will have a right to know if their child wants to be treated as the opposite sex and schools will have to involve parents when it comes to decisions about their children"
"attempts at so-called 'conversion therapy' are abhorrent. but legislation around conversion practices is a very complex issue, with existing criminal law already offering robust protections. in light of the cass review final report, it is right that we take more time before reaching a final judgement"
"we will work to strengthen the relationship between schools and parents, including by delivering new legislation which will make clear, beyond all doubt, that parents have a right to see what their child is being taught in school [they made it bold not me] and schools must share all materials, especially on sensitive matters like relationships and sex education. this builds on the progress [citation needed] we have already made, having updated relationships, sex and health education guidance to introduce clear age-limits on what children can be taught [the rightist outrage at 'sex education for five year olds' is literally stuff like gay people exist so don't bully billy two-dads for having two dads, which is of course fucking unacceptable to the daily mosley] and guarantee the contested concept of gender identity is not taught to children [clarification needed -- or not, because the vagueness is the point, it's Section 28 two, terrorising the entire public sector into silence about anything the daily mosley might clench their pearls about]."
commitment to implement the cass review, ban the private prescription of puberty blockers, accelerate the increasing prohibition of their NHS prescription, fight 'ideologically-driven care' and follow 'evidence' (in the context of the case review meaning absolute prohibition and literal torture)
stop public sector DEI [clarification needed]
'not allow the word woman to be erased'
🤔STRAIGHT UP NON-POLICIES
a load of stuff in the manifesto, especially in the economic section, is just 'maintain funding for...', including 'maintaining' the living wage (ie without even making it legally mandatory), and do ongoing plans instituted by public sector organs that wouldn't be theirs to organise
the so-called 'triple lock plus' or 'quadruple lock': the triple lock legally mandates three possible minima for the state pension, depending on which is highest. it's currently below the tax-free personal allowance, but it is forecast to go above the current personal allowance at some point, which would mean pensioners would start paying tax on the income above the allowance. the tories have made a huge song and dance about raising the personal allowance for pensioners in line with the triple lock. George W Bush 'Mission Accomplished' energy. they're trying to present 'removing' this weird and unhelpful discrepancy as a 'tax cut', even though it is currently not a 'tax' and would be easily rectified by any incumbent government facing this situation by just raising the allowance, because all pensioners would cause a hell of a storm were the government to forget to solve the discrepancy. and it totally ignores any possibility of the personal allowance being raised anyway
prevent first-time buyers from having to pay stamp duty! except there's been a 'temporary' lien for years so this is nothing
'maintain the ban on prisoners voting' is listed as an actual policy

Maximizing Business Efficiency: Warehouse Services in UAE and Ecommerce Fulfilment in Dubai, UAE
In today’s fast-paced e-commerce landscape, businesses must integrate seamless supply chain solutions to stay competitive. The UAE, with its strategic location and robust infrastructure, is emerging as a hub for warehouse services and e-commerce fulfillment. This article explores how integrating a Warehouse Management System (WMS) with e-commerce fulfillment services can streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.
The Importance of Warehouse Services in UAE
The UAE is a global trade hub, offering unparalleled access to international markets. Businesses operating here benefit from advanced logistics infrastructure and tax-free zones. Warehouse services in UAE play a crucial role in ensuring goods are stored efficiently and dispatched on time. A reliable warehouse service can:
Reduce storage costs.

[ad_1] By Anjali Sharma WASHINGTON The Indian government on Thursday has scaled down its estimate of gold imports for November 2024 to $9.84 billion from the preliminary estimate of $14.86 billion announced last month, data compiled by the Commerce Ministry’s Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics showed. The $5 billion downward revision in gold imports would lead to an equivalent reduction in the country’s trade deficit which would strengthen the macroeconomic fundamentals and be positive for the rupee, a senior official said. The revised figures for inbound shipments of gold in value terms are nearly 34 per cent lower than what was reported last month. According to sources, the high figure announced earlier was due to a double-counting error in the estimate of gold imports kept in warehouses by custodians after a change in methodology. The imports kept by custodians in free trade zone warehouses were added to that reported by domestic banks which buy the gold from the custodians and this ended up in the same consignments getting counted twice leading to the inflated estimate. The gold imports have been on the rise after the duty cut announced during the Union Budget in July 2024, the huge surge in shipments during November had puzzled market analysts. The import of gold was shown to have risen over four times compared to the corresponding figure of $3.4 billion for the same month of the previous year which was considered improbable. This resulted in India’s trade deficit being reported at an all-time high of $37.8 billion reflecting a weak external balance position, which adversely impacted the rupee as well. India is the world’s second-largest consumer of gold next only to China and relies mainly on imports to this demand, especially during the festive and wedding seasons when it is gifted in large quantities to brides and bridegrooms. The post India gold imports turns $5B lower in Nov, trade deficit narrows appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates. [ad_2] Source link

The Role of Ports in Efficient Sea Logistics Management
Ports play a crucial role in the framework of international andsea logistics, acting as key nodes that connect countries and continents. As vital components of sea logistics, ports serve as gateways for the movement of goods, facilitating seamless connectivity between various modes of transportation. The functionality of ports within sea logistics is essential, and that is what we will explore here.
Let’s dive into why and how ports play a crucial role in global sea logistics.
Sea Ports: Gateways to Global Trade
Ports seamlessly connect countries and continents, offering efficient and streamlined pathways for international trade. They facilitate the movement of goods between countries, ensuring the smooth handling of import, export, and transit shipments. To support efficient global trade, ports provide the necessary infrastructure, commodities, warehouses, and services that enable logistics companies to transport goods from one country to another with ease. Moreover, ports are well-connected to different modes of transportation, enabling transshipment between countries via trucks, trains, airplanes, and ships.
Efficient Warehousing Facilities
Ports are equipped to handle cargo efficiently, offering extensive cargo-handling capabilities, including warehouses that can store bulk goods. These facilities are ideal for storing temporary shipments that are ready for transport the same day or the next, via ship, truck, or train. Container terminals within ports manage a significant portion of global containerized trade. They come with container yards, handling equipment, and cranes, all of which ensure operational efficiency throughout the sea logistics supply chain.
Infrastructure for Ancillary Services
Many ports around the world provide facilities for ancillary services such as customs clearance, certification, inspection, and documentation. In addition to these services, ports also offer warehouses for value-added activities like labeling, packaging, repackaging, loading, and unloading. These services are a significant advantage for logistics companies operating along the supply chain. Furthermore, numerous ports feature well-established free trade zones or special economic zones, offering benefits such as streamlined bureaucratic procedures, favorable customs regulations, and tax incentives to promote international trade. Sea logistics continues to thrive due to the additional advantages that ports offer, boosting operational efficiency throughout the supply chain.
Employment Generation
Few people realize that ports also contribute significantly to economic growth by generating employment in sea logistics. Port operations create job opportunities for crane operators, dockworkers, customs officials, truck drivers, management personnel, and logistics professionals. Additionally, ports indirectly generate jobs in related industries such as warehousing, transportation, and manufacturing. Ports help to increase trade, attract businesses, and promote investment in surrounding areas.
The Bottom Line
Jeena and Company, a 124-year-old logistics company, provides sea logistics services to a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, manufacturing, retail, and more.

Offshore Company vs Onshore Company: Which Is Right for You in Dubai?
Dubai is undoubtedly one of the world’s most suitable destinations for investors, thanks to its tax advantages and robust infrastructure. But one of the key questions business owners faces when considering Dubai is choosing between an offshore company and an onshore company.
Both options have benefits and drawbacks and understanding the nuances of each is crucial for making an informed choice. This post gives you a brief overview of offshore and onshore companies, highlighting their key differences that can help you determine which one should you consider for Dubai business setup.
Offshore Business Overview
An offshore company is a business entity registered in Dubai or the UAE but operates outside the country. It is primarily used for international business activities and asset protection, rather than conducting business within the UAE itself.
Key Features of Offshore Companies in Dubai
Tax Benefits: Offshore companies enjoy zero corporate tax, income tax, and VAT, making them a highly tax-efficient option for international businesses.
100% Foreign Ownership: Offshore entities allow 100% foreign ownership.
Confidentiality: Offshore companies benefit from enhanced privacy, as shareholder and director details are not publicly disclosed.
No Physical Office Required: Offshore businesses do not need a physical office or address in the UAE, significantly reducing setup and operational costs.
Restrictions on Local Business: An offshore company cannot conduct business within the UAE. Its operations are strictly limited to activities outside the UAE.
Who Should Consider an Offshore Business?
Entrepreneurs looking for a vehicle for international trade.
Businesses involved in holding intellectual property or assets.
Individuals seeking wealth management and tax optimization.
Companies that don’t need a physical presence in the UAE.
Onshore Business Overview
An onshore company is a business entity that operates within the UAE and can conduct activities in the local market as well as internationally. Onshore companies are typically registered in the mainland or in one of Dubai’s free zones, offering access to both domestic and global opportunities.
Key Features of Onshore Companies in Dubai
Local Market Access: Onshore companies can freely operate in Dubai’s local market, providing goods or services to UAE residents and businesses.
Physical Presence: Onshore businesses are required to have a physical office or commercial space in Dubai.
Free Zone Benefits: If established in a free zone, onshore companies enjoy 100% foreign ownership, tax exemptions, and simplified regulations. However, free zone businesses can only trade locally via UAE-registered distributors.
Compliance Requirements: Onshore businesses are subject to regular audits, licensing renewals, and stricter compliance measures compared to offshore companies.
Who Should Consider an Onshore Business?
Entrepreneurs targeting UAE residents or businesses.
Companies requiring a physical office or warehouse.
Businesses involved in retail, hospitality, or construction industries that rely on local customers.
Startups or SMEs looking to expand both locally and globally.
While onshore companies come with greater regulatory obligations and setup costs, their ability to tap into Dubai’s lucrative local market makes them indispensable for businesses looking to establish a physical presence and engage directly with customers.
Key Differences Between Offshore vs Onshore Business
To help you decide between an offshore and onshore company in Dubai, here’s a detailed comparison of the two.
Verdict: Which Is Right for You?
The choice between an offshore and onshore company in Dubai ultimately boils down to your business goals, target market, and operational requirements.
Choose Offshore If:
Your business activities are exclusively international like global trade or asset management.
You’re seeking a cost-effective and tax-efficient solution for wealth preservation or IP holding.
You don’t need a physical presence or access to the UAE’s local market.
Choose Onshore If:
You want to sell products or services within Dubai or the UAE.
You’re entering industries like retail, hospitality, or construction, which demand local market interaction.
You plan to establish a physical office or warehouse to conduct business.
The Bottom Line
Dubai is a great place to do business, but the choice between offshore and onshore depends on your specific needs. Offshore companies provide simplicity, cost-efficiency, and international focus, while onshore companies offer the ability to engage directly with Dubai’s booming local market.
Take the time to analyze your business objectives, and if you’re still unsure, consult a professional business advisor to guide you through the process.

Investment Portfolio through Real Estate Investment in Dubai
Investing in real estate has long been considered a reliable strategy for diversifying an investment portfolio. With its dynamic market, strategic location, and robust economic growth, Dubai offers unique opportunities for real estate investment. This article explores the benefits and strategies of diversifying your investment portfolio through real estate investment in Dubai says, Omar Hussain Chicago.
1. Why Diversify with Real Estate?
Diversification is a fundamental principle in investing, aimed at reducing risk by spreading investments across different asset classes. Real estate offers several advantages as part of a diversified portfolio:
a. Stability and Tangible Assets
Real estate is a tangible asset that provides stability and can act as a hedge against market volatility. Unlike stocks and bonds, real estate investments are less prone to sudden value fluctuations.
b. Income Generation
Real estate can generate consistent income through rental yields. This cash flow can provide a steady income stream, enhancing overall portfolio returns.
c. Capital Appreciation
Over the long term, real estate properties tend to appreciate in value. This potential for capital appreciation adds a growth component to your investment portfolio.
d. Inflation Hedge
Real estate often serves as an effective hedge against inflation. Property values and rental income typically rise with inflation, preserving the purchasing power of your investment.
2. Why Choose Dubai for Real Estate Investment?
Dubai's real estate market presents a compelling case for diversification due to its unique attributes:
a. Strategic Location and Connectivity
Dubai's strategic location between Europe, Asia, and Africa makes it a global business hub. The city's world-class infrastructure, including two major airports and a bustling port, enhances its connectivity and attractiveness for businesses and investors.
b. Economic Growth and Diversification
Dubai has successfully diversified its economy beyond oil, with strong sectors in tourism, finance, trade, and logistics. The city's robust economic growth and stability make it an attractive destination for real estate investment.
c. Tax-Friendly Environment
The UAE's favorable tax regime, with no personal or corporate income taxes, significantly boosts the attractiveness of real estate investments in Dubai. This tax efficiency can enhance overall returns.
d. Growing Population and Tourism
Dubai's growing population and status as a top tourist destination drive demand for residential, commercial, and hospitality properties. This demand supports strong rental yields and capital appreciation.
3. Diversification Strategies in Dubai's Real Estate Market
To effectively diversify your investment portfolio through real estate in Dubai, consider the following strategies:
a. Invest in Different Property Types
Diversifying across different property types can spread risk and capture various market opportunities. Consider investing in:
• Residential Properties: High demand for apartments and villas offers stable rental income and potential for capital appreciation.
• Commercial Properties: Office spaces in business districts like Downtown Dubai and DIFC attract multinational corporations and provide robust rental yields.
• Retail Properties: Dubai's reputation as a shopping destination supports investments in retail spaces, particularly in prime locations.
• Industrial and Logistics: Warehouses and logistics centers in areas like Jebel Ali Free Zone cater to the growing trade and e-commerce sectors.
• Hospitality: Hotels and serviced apartments benefit from the thriving tourism industry.
b. Geographic Diversification within Dubai
Different areas in Dubai offer varied investment opportunities. Diversifying across different neighborhoods can mitigate location-specific risks:
• Downtown Dubai: Known for its iconic landmarks, this area offers high-end residential and commercial properties.
• Business Bay: A rapidly developing business district with a mix of office spaces and residential units.
• Dubai Marina: Popular for luxury apartments and vibrant lifestyle, attracting both residents and tourists.
• Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA): Ideal for industrial and logistics investments due to its proximity to the port and excellent infrastructure.
• Dubai South: An emerging area with significant growth potential, especially with the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport.
c. Consider Off-Plan Properties
Investing in off-plan properties (under construction) can offer substantial returns, as these properties are often priced lower than completed ones. However, this strategy requires careful consideration of the developer's reputation and project feasibility.
d. Leverage Financing Options
Dubai offers various financing options for real estate investments. Utilizing mortgage facilities and other financing methods can enhance your investment capacity and potential returns. Ensure to evaluate the terms and interest rates to optimize your financing strategy.
4. Risk Management and Due Diligence
While Dubai's real estate market offers attractive opportunities, thorough due diligence and risk management are essential:
a. Market Research
Omar Hussain: Conduct comprehensive market research to understand current trends, property values, and demand-supply dynamics. This information is crucial for making informed investment decisions.
b. Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Navigating the legal and regulatory framework is critical. Ensure compliance with local laws, regulations, and property registration procedures. Engaging with legal experts can help mitigate legal risks.
c. Evaluate Developer Credibility
When investing in off-plan properties, assess the credibility and track record of the developer. Ensure the project has necessary approvals and a realistic completion timeline.
d. Monitor Economic Indicators
Stay informed about macroeconomic factors, including oil prices, geopolitical developments, and economic policies, as these can impact the real estate market in Dubai.
5. Future Outlook for Dubai's Real Estate Market
The future outlook for Dubai's real estate market remains positive, driven by ongoing developments and strategic initiatives:
a. Expo 2020 Legacy
The successful hosting of Expo 2020 has boosted Dubai's global profile and infrastructure. The legacy projects from Expo 2020 are expected to further enhance the city's real estate market.
b. Vision 2040 Urban Master Plan
Dubai's Vision 2040 aims to make the city more sustainable, livable, and competitive. The plan includes significant investments in infrastructure, green spaces, and smart city technologies, creating new opportunities for real estate investment.
c. Increasing Focus on Sustainability
Sustainability is becoming a key focus in Dubai's real estate market. Investing in green buildings and sustainable projects can attract environmentally conscious tenants and buyers, enhancing the long-term value of your investment.
Omar Hussain Chicago: Diversifying your investment portfolio through real estate investment in Dubai offers numerous benefits, including stability, income generation, and capital appreciation. Dubai's strategic location, robust economic growth, and favorable tax regime make it an attractive destination for real estate investors. By adopting effective diversification strategies, conducting thorough due diligence, and staying informed about market trends, investors can capitalize on the opportunities in Dubai's dynamic real estate market and achieve long-term financial growth.

Unlocking Opportunities in the China Cross-Border E-Commerce Market
The China cross-border e-commerce market has emerged as one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding sectors in the global e-commerce industry. With its vast consumer base, robust digital infrastructure, and growing appetite for international products, China presents unique opportunities for businesses looking to expand their global footprint. In this blog, we will explore the key drivers of this market, the challenges that come with entering it, and how businesses can tap into the potential of the China cross-border e-commerce market.
Understanding the China Cross-Border E-Commerce Market
Cross-border e-commerce refers to the online sale of products between businesses and consumers located in different countries. China, with its massive consumer population of over 1.4 billion people, has become a key player in this market. The country’s cross-border e-commerce sector is experiencing unprecedented growth, fueled by an increasing demand for international products, ease of online shopping, and the global expansion of Chinese platforms such as Alibaba and JD.com.
In recent years, China has implemented favorable policies that have boosted cross-border e-commerce. The government’s push to develop e-commerce as a key economic pillar has led to streamlined customs procedures, lower taxes on cross-border goods, and the establishment of free trade zones, making it easier for foreign brands to enter the Chinese market.
Key Drivers of Growth
Growing Middle-Class Population China’s middle class is rapidly expanding, and with it, the demand for higher-quality, international products. Chinese consumers are increasingly seeking foreign goods, including fashion, electronics, health products, and luxury items, creating a booming cross-border e-commerce market. As the middle class becomes more affluent, their purchasing power and willingness to spend on international products rise.
E-commerce Platforms and Technology Platforms like Alibaba’s Tmall Global, JD Worldwide, and Pinduoduo are driving the growth of cross-border e-commerce in China. These platforms allow foreign brands to list their products directly, reducing the need for physical stores or distributors. Moreover, China's advanced digital payment systems, such as Alipay and WeChat Pay, have made online shopping more convenient for consumers, ensuring a seamless purchasing experience.
Government Support The Chinese government has introduced a variety of initiatives to promote cross-border e-commerce. Policies such as tax exemptions, simplified customs clearance, and the establishment of bonded warehouses in major cities have made it easier for businesses to sell internationally. The government's focus on digital trade has also encouraged international businesses to explore China as a lucrative market.
Challenges for Foreign Brands
While the China cross-border e-commerce market offers significant opportunities, there are also challenges that businesses must navigate. One of the main challenges is understanding and complying with China’s regulatory framework. The government imposes strict rules on foreign brands, especially regarding product quality, labeling, and advertising. Businesses must ensure they meet these standards to avoid delays or penalties.
Another challenge is intense competition. The Chinese e-commerce market is highly competitive, with both local and international players vying for the attention of consumers. Foreign brands must differentiate themselves through competitive pricing, marketing strategies, and localized offerings to capture market share.
Additionally, logistics and shipping can pose challenges. While China has a well-developed logistics infrastructure, managing cross-border shipping can be complex and costly. Businesses must find reliable partners to handle customs clearance, delivery, and returns, ensuring a smooth process for Chinese consumers.
How to Succeed in the China Cross-Border E-Commerce Market
Localize Your Offerings To succeed in China, businesses need to tailor their products and marketing strategies to the local market. Understanding local tastes, preferences, and consumer behavior is crucial for success. Additionally, providing Chinese-language product descriptions, customer support, and localized payment options will help enhance the customer experience and build brand loyalty.
Leverage the Right Platforms Partnering with leading e-commerce platforms like Tmall Global or JD Worldwide can give businesses access to millions of potential customers. These platforms offer a robust infrastructure for foreign brands and provide tools for marketing, logistics, and payment processing, making it easier to manage the complexities of cross-border sales.
Invest in Digital Marketing Digital marketing is essential for reaching Chinese consumers. Using popular Chinese social media platforms like WeChat, Weibo, and Douyin (TikTok) can help businesses build brand awareness and drive traffic to their online stores. Influencer marketing and live-streaming are also effective strategies for engaging with Chinese consumers.
Focus on Customer Service Excellent customer service is crucial for retaining customers in China. Businesses should ensure timely delivery, easy returns, and responsive customer support in the local language. Providing a seamless post-purchase experience will help build trust and encourage repeat purchases.
Conclusion
The China cross-border e-commerce market offers vast opportunities for businesses to expand and thrive in one of the world’s largest and most dynamic markets. By understanding the key drivers of growth, addressing challenges, and leveraging the right platforms and marketing strategies, businesses can successfully navigate the complexities of this lucrative market. For businesses looking to capitalize on China’s growing consumer demand, entering the cross-border e-commerce sector could be the key to unlocking new revenue streams and long-term success.

The Benefits of Setting Up a Business in Free Zones in UAE
Setting up a business in the UAE offers various opportunities, and one of the most popular choices among entrepreneurs is establishing a company in one of the Free Zones in UAE. These free zones are specialized areas that offer numerous benefits, making them an ideal choice for foreign investors and business owners looking to expand their operations in the UAE.
One of the primary benefits of setting up a business in a free zone is the tax advantages. Many free zones in the UAE offer tax exemptions for a certain number of years, such as income tax and customs duties, which significantly reduces operating costs. Additionally, there are no restrictions on capital repatriation, allowing investors to move funds freely across borders. These tax breaks make free zones an attractive option for businesses looking to maximize profits while minimizing expenses.
Another reason to consider Free Zones in UAE is the ease of doing business. Free zones are specifically designed to streamline the company registration and licensing processes. With a straightforward application process and minimal bureaucratic obstacles, entrepreneurs can start their businesses quickly and efficiently. The UAE government has made it a priority to support business development, and the free zones reflect this by providing a simple and transparent setup process.
Moreover, businesses in free zones benefit from 100% foreign ownership. In contrast to mainland companies, which often require a local partner, free zone companies allow foreign investors to have complete control over their business operations. This feature is especially appealing for those looking to retain full ownership without the need for a local sponsor.
In addition to these advantages, free zones offer access to excellent infrastructure. Many of these zones are equipped with modern office spaces, warehouses, and state-of-the-art technology that are essential for business operations. The UAE's connectivity through world-class ports and airports makes it easy for businesses to reach global markets and manage logistics efficiently.
Lastly, there is a wide range of industries that benefit from Free Zones in UAE. Whether you're in the technology, manufacturing, trading, or media sector, the UAE free zones cater to different business needs. This diversity ensures that businesses from various industries can thrive in the region, making it a top choice for international expansion.
Overall, setting up a business in a UAE free zone offers significant advantages in terms of tax exemptions, foreign ownership, and ease of setup. With the added benefit of a strategic location and modern infrastructure, free zones are a great option for businesses looking to establish a presence in the UAE.
