Other fascistic countries are copying Trump admin’s arguments on deportation, almost like they put it through ChatGPT to change the wording slightly:
The Union Home Ministry’s (MHA) appeal against a Jammu and Kashmir High Court order to repatriate a 62-year-old housewife who was deported to Pakistan post Pahalgam terror attack said the “judiciary should not override” the executive’s decision to deport a foreign national.
It said the High Court order was constitutionally impermissible and unsustainable, as it directed the enforcement of a judicial writ beyond the sovereign territory of India to Pakistan, where she was deported and was thus ultra vires.
The Ministry also said that the court’s direction was “legally unenforceable and diplomatically untenable”.
“There exists no extradition treaty, legal instrument, or international obligation binding Pakistan to return her to India. The Indian government cannot, under existing international law, compel a sovereign nation to surrender a non-citizen,” the MHA said.
versus
A federal judge did not have the authority to order the Trump administration to broker the return of a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported from the U.S. to a notorious El Salvador prison, government attorneys argued Saturday as they urged an appeals court to suspend the ruling.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis on Friday ordered the administration to “facilitate and effectuate” Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S. by late Monday night. Justice Department lawyers asked the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to immediately pause the judge’s order.
“A judicial order that forces the Executive to engage with a foreign power in a certain way, let alone compel a certain action by a foreign sovereign, is constitutionally intolerable,” they wrote.
Abrego Garcia’s lawyers in response on Sunday urged the court to deny the government’s request, arguing lawyers for the Justice Department failed to demonstrate their argument would likely succeed on the merits. They also argued the government’s claim that the order to return Abrego Garcia “is neither possible nor proper” is “wrong on both counts.”
Yes yes I fixed it. My point is not that it’s unimportant but that domestic soverign yields can be pegged, managed and even when not there are market expectations about it being risk free in nominal terms (which it is against involuntary default). Foreign exchange rates can’t be pegged (atleast forever and esp not with open capital flows).
Another win for the “nothing ever happens”, kinda
Something is happening with the Dollar index, that’s the measure to watch, never local currency sovereign bond yields.
Anyone remember trumps silly military “parade” sponsored by coinbase and palantir? No one cares now ig.
Yea the more neoliberal democrats criticized it for increasing the deficit and nothing else.
I don’t support consumption subsides. The Government could guarantee everyone a basic job which pays $600/m for 40 hour work weeks (for example) so that private sector is forced to pay this much. Ik you agree with this too.
I do not think the idea that people should have purchasing power to buy goods is anti Marxist at all. Feels like the Twitter discourse about New York wage increase being bad because it increases private profit. Yea no shit, capitalists earn what they spend and workers spend what they earn etc. If you don’t want private profit, promote Government spending on productive investments then.
Many Marxist economists support “consumption led” growth, they always point out the issue is always sound finance neoliberal mindset and class . And China isn’t invulnerable to such mindset either given diverse views among its leadership.
Western leftists will soyface over stimmy checks in their countries, their only complaint being how low it was. But no one dare want a third world country to augment purchasing power (as I said previously, I don’t support stimmies even in third world, esp one off stimmies). Give people jobs, give workers more leverage over capitalists by weakening the threatening mechanism of unemployment. And those who can’t work must be provided with basic income. All these should be rights.
When you have a mixed economy there has to be some profit. This kind of competition promotes long hours and low pay for workers. That’s the main problem I see.

pre builts maybe?
If it’s intentional. I do wonder what for.
Is it human experimentation, to see how people react to opioids when they don’t know. Because addiction itself is more complicated than taking drugs, when someone doesn’t know they are consuming drugs can they get addicted since they don’t associate food with getting high.
Regardless, the withdrawal will be bad as that’s more physical than psychological.
Really don’t understand why my boss works beyond hours for no reason, I’m kinda obliged to stay because he needs my help.
Can’t wait for him to retire next year. Hopefully the next guy works only the hours required…
yea if you want to poison ppl wouldnt you crush the pills?
“Newspaper”
Isn’t this straight up defamation? They even put it in quotes
Deepseek generally does less of the em dashes. Chatgpt is so annoying you have to tell it often you don’t want em dashes and just want commas, tenses and grammar fixed without changing tone or style.
Chat what’s the music in this short I really like it but can’t find it.
Maybe in the US but rest of the world has access to budget Chinese smartphones .
Yes I got a aluminium one for this reason, has lasted 3 years and will for much longer I’m sure
Isn’t the effectiveness of RRR doubtful even in “scarce reserves” regime like China? Are they doing it because they assume the monetarist loanable funds or because RRR is actually somewhat effective given the public sector nature of China’s banking system. But even then, PBOC has to backstop any system wide reserve shortage.
