Corporation bosses want to increase profits again:

"We've already used Covid."

"We've already used war in Ukraine."

"We've already used climate change."

"How about increasing looting... to increase prices?"

You are on to something.

If you are careful and observant, you''ll notice that things that we think "only happen here" seem to happen across Western countries at the same time.

It only seems to take someone like capitalist edgelord, Tim Gurner to reveal things are often coordinated.

Routine? What routine?

The Betamax revival.

Videophiles will be able to see the superior picture quality in the revival of the old tapes. Sales of Betamax cassettes will quickly outsell 4K discs. I'm looking forward to the self-styled Youtuber movie connoisseurs stroking their chins and enthusing about the "new" betamax releases of Scorsese's Gangs of New York in 333 x 486 resolution.

Excellent. Agreed.

We’ll just have to disagree about this. What you misread (which is exactly what Trump and the right-wing Tories over here want you to do) is that they want to tear down the structures of power and wealth. They really don’t. They might want to gain advantage within the Establishment but none of them want to see it brought down. It’s purely rhetoric. Look at Truss as an example. She bent the knee. They all bend the knee. Starmer has literally kneeled down and been knighted.

My fear is the rise of fascism. Just saw a poll this morning that showed a large number of young people have no interest in democracy and would welcome a strong military take over.

Frightening when you consider yesterday was the anniversary of Pinochet’s seizure of power in Chile.

Ho ho ho! Next you’ll be telling me Trump is the anti-Establishment candidate in the US.

I use the traditional definition of Establishmemt: all the structures and processes that are used to maintain the political power of inherited wealth in this country. John Gibbs, the cultural writer, describes it as the “Norman Continuity Empire” where 1200 aristocratic familes close to William the Conqueror. The aims of the Tories is to best represent that Establishment and the aims of Labour is to help prevent the redistribution of that wealth.

I can tell that you like to see yourself as a moderate but knowing that half-a-million children live in extreme poverty (a Westminster calculation) and NOT sorting it out is a crime against those children. Starmer, for example, says that he will maintain the 2-child cap on child benefit at the same time as promising the excessively wealthy that he wont tax them. Both parties and all leaders (with possible exception of Greens) agree on that. And it’s not a moderate position.

Edited: added the word NOT

I had trouble for a period with my vaults syncing on icloud. It was really frustrating so I looked at other sync methods. (I think it was actually the amount of plugins I was using.) icloud did start working again with my smaller vaults. Now I keep my main vault synced by WebDav on my NAS with a daily backup by the NAS & my little vaults on icloud. Has been working really well.

Didn’t the OP say they wanted to sync across two different devices (and I assumed they couldn’t simply sunc using a shared storage.)

Try Remotely Save plug-in.

https://github.com/remotely-save/remotely-save

It syncs with Dropbox, Onedrive, S3 and WebDav. It has lots of settings like folders you can ignore, filetypes, etc. A number of experimental fearures that have worked when I tried them. You can set it to manually or automatically sync.

I’ve used it for my main vault using a self-hosted WebDav for over a year and been pleased with its performance. I make sure I keep a regular backup of the vault as well just in case.

I would imagine you could use the Excalidraw plugin as well for making handwritten notes and diagrams, too.

Absolutely correct.

I often wonder whether the UK is used as a petri dish for neoliberal macroeconomic experimentation in the West (in the same way China does with certain megacities and provinces). How far you can cut taxes, how low you can drop living standards, how well you can use the media to manipulate the way that a population behaves.

What nonsense.

I think there’s more chance SIR Keir is on the payroll of the Establishment.

I guess you’re one of those that keeps on saying that Corbyn is a racist and anti-semite.
