In fact, the Consumer Price Index has always been a political artifact! Read more in Thomas Stapleford's enjoyable and excellently-named history THE COST OF LIVING IN AMERICA.
Help! Is there anyone who can explain to me what the cultural significance of the phrase "Carl seinem Gretchen" might be in Vienna in about 1870? I understand what the words mean, but there’s some cultural reference I’m missing, I think.
Simply put, my family is broke until May due to two unexpected bills. We have no food & no car, so it's hard to get anything here to begin with.
I'm trying to get $40 so we can eat tonight. Thank you for reading, hope you're doing well. 💞

Training lunch break & watching vids as a brain palate cleanser of sorts. I found this fascinating. Such parenting supports weren't available 20 yrs ago. It's wonderful to see #autism#parenting#pda communities offering validation, support & education. This video reminded me of a time I visited my sister when my niece was a baby. She couldn't stop playing w/a toy that was frustrating her, she cried every time she hit it but kept doing it. #cognitivepsychology https://youtu.be/1ozg_e2XHvI?si=c_CebRLvpPZMvjOr
For example, 45-50 min sessions are definitely not enough for my ND clients.. it's difficult 😕 it means slower paced processing which in our profit based system means more expensive for them... but they know I understand the way giving All the context and exploring All the possibilities and finding All the words for their feelings can be what is therapeutic for them. To have a witness to their way of existing ✨️🥰✨️
Heute steht Faschist Höcke vor Gericht, weil er eine verbotene Nazi-Parole benutzt hat. Wir haben 50 Reden analysiert: Höcke wird anscheinend auffällig oft von Reden von Nazis wie Hitler, Goebbels & Co inspiriert. https://www.volksverpetzer.de/analyse/hitler-steckt-in-hoecke/
@criitz@worldnews I'm gonna start by debunking the myth that Israel is invulnerable because they have nuclear weapons. Since they have so many conventional precision weapons pointed at Israel, without nuclear weapons Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran are still able to take out strategic targets: missile launchers, AA weapons, radar, runways, facilities in important bases, etc. In addition to this, they can use the strategy even against protected locations like these powerplants striking them with barrages that first use a bunch of cheap projectiles like drones to break the air defense then get a bunch of conventional strikes through depriving Israel of electricity. They can also do this to other facilities like water treatment, forcing military logistics to shift to providing food and water for civilians. note that none of this has the domestic and international consequences of using nuclear weapons. Now something to know about Israel is that they're not able to do without these amenities and they require extremely high morale to be willing to fight since they live in a giant strip mall.

If Israel escalates by attacking Iran and striking at the country’s infrastructure, then Iran’s counter will be to take a page out of Russia’s book and commence the one line of attack which Israel, the US and their allies cannot withstand any better than Ukraine – that’s Electric War.
For the seven months which have elapsed since Hamas began its operation against Israel on October 7, and Israel commenced its genocide against the Palestinians, there has been no targeting by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, or the Syrian and Iraqi groups of Israel’s highly vulnerable maritime gas platforms, gas pipelines, coal and oil-fired electricity generating plants, the coal and oil storages nearby, solar and wind power units, or the electricity grids keeping the country alight.
The Arab inhibitions and calculations are understandable. Iran’s will disappear if Israel triggers a new round of attacks.
