Painful and counter productive politics surrounding the MMT conference. For gear heads, the paper he would have presented is available in the article.

“A major criticism of MMT by its real enemies—again, Neoclassical economists, not yours truly—is that no MMTer has ever presented a mathematical model of MMT. Minsky generates those equations, which were also part of this paper”

Mosler’s reaction, to demand Keen to be disinvited and the disinvitation, is a mistake that should be corrected for the future

“I was going to ignore the 5% I criticise to help the 95% I support—and if you’re an “MMTer” and you doubt these proportions, ask yourself whether you’d still be an activist for MMT if the only thing it asserted was that “Imports are real benefits and exports are real costs”? (Mosler 2010, p. 59)”

Analysis

"The US political system was created to restrain democracy, not protect it.

"The founders essentially placed a ticking time bomb at the heart of our political system—and this could be the year it explodes."

They worked within a system that concentrated power in the hands of an elite, propertied, white male minority.

200+ years have "increasingly vested the majority of political power in the hands of a reactionary conservative white minority."

Imo, the "four threats" are interconnected aspects of the intentional foundational anti-democratic system.

Since upgrading from Plasma 6.0 to Plasma 6.1 my journald.service takes a longtime to boot.
systemd-journald.service takes 7-8 seconds.
Even on a freshly installed system.

systemd-analyze:

Startup finished in 9.534s (firmware) + 6.112s (loader) + 3.281s (kernel) + 9.271s (userspace) = 28.200s

systemd-analyze critical-chain systemd-journald.service:

systemd-journald.service +7.853s
└─systemd-journald.socket @428ms

systemd-analyze blame:

7.853s systemd-journald.service
2.152s systemd-modules-load.service
1.147s \x2esnapshots.mount
715ms NetworkManager.service
229ms dev-nvme1n1p2.device

how can I now further troubleshoot and maybe find a solution? has someone experienced same/similar?
I can provide further info if needed, would appreciate very much if someone has an idea...

Edit: after working through it I came to the conclusion, that maybe Plasma isn‘t the issue here (since the „error“ happens way before graphical ui shows up), but more kernel related. Trying right now to get an older kernel running to see, if it confirms my assumption, but failed yet to do so…

Varen OP ,

@tal
Did exactly that before posting and posted the output:

systemd-analyze critical-chain systemd-journald.service:

systemd-journald.service +7.853s
└─systemd-journald.socket @428ms

Varen OP ,

@tal i found today 3-4 other persons having same or similar issues (one on the bugtracker github of systemd and 3 others on the archlinux forums) starting around the same time (in the last 2-3 weeks).

I dont think its Plasma related (which comes in later on boot I think) but maybe Kernel based - since others started having similar issue around the same time?

Might be related to some usb devices, but if i‘m not alone having ir!?

Oh wow someone is selling this clearly excellent guide to growing potatoes.

POTAATO

(wave it over the soil and coax the roots into existence. Then you have a plant. This plant will grow illogically. At some point it will send you an email. )

A step by step diagram on planting seed potatoes, but the steps are 1, 2, 22, 3, 3, 7, 6, 3, 6, 5, ?? It seems like you plant then un plant it then it sends you email?
