Oslf Trump s speech ignored global warming and climate disasters, but Americans are more worried than ever
Question/Comment: Thank you for your simplified, insightful, and humorous segments on the NewsHour explaining economic complexities. My question: With the federal government $9.5 trillion in debt, this year budget deficit projected at $410 billion, and tax revenues insufficient over the past 8 years to cover federal expenditures, what is the source of the money for rescuing large financial firms Paul Solman: Borrowing. Economist Ken Rogoff who was on the NewsHour the other night estimates that the federal government will have to assume extra debt in the range of $1-2 stanley cup TRILLION dollars, on top of a current public debt of $5 trillion owed to states, corporations, individuals, and foreign governments and almost $5 trillion more owed to other agencies of the U.S. government for obligations like Social Security and Medicare.Borrowing is paid for with interest, which can be paid with even more borrowing. But ultimately, all the borrowing means more dollars created, which leads to a lower dollar, which costs us all since it mea stanley cup ns we can ;t buy as much with what we have. And once the borrowing threaten stanley cup s to become TOO expensive too high an interest rate, that is we ;ll have to raise TAXES to pay down the debt.In other words, we have met the source of the money for rescuing large financial firms, and it is US.

The National Labor Relations Board has ruled in McDonald favor in a long-running case filed by 20 workers who were fired or faced retaliation for trying to unionize.The board said Thursday that it favors a settlement that will require McDonald stanley cup franchisees to pay $171,636 to the affected workers. The franchisees must also notify current and recently departed employees about the settlement and set up a $250,000 fund to handle future claims.The workers were seeking a ruling that would consider McDonald a joint employer with its franchisees. That would have increased the company liability and potentially made it easier for McDonald 850,000 U.S. workers 鈥?and workers at ot stanley cup her franchised restaurants 鈥?to unionize.But Chicago-based McDonald insists it doesn ;t directly employ the workers. Around 95% of its 14,000 U.S. restaurants are owned by franchisees.An administrative law judge with the labor board rejected the proposed settlement in July 2018, saying it was unlikely to end the dispute and didn ;t require McDonald to enforce the settlement.Judge Lauren Esposito also noted that even though McDonald said it didn ;t employ the workers, evidence showed that it coordinated the fight against unionization efforts.McDonald appealed to the full board and a three-member panel agreed with the company.

I sometimes wonder about my parallel life: the one in which I attended drama school, became a respected actor, travelled the world and ended up marrying Louis Theroux after meeting him at an awards ceremony. The life in which I didnt develop anxiety and agoraphobia.In 1995, aged 23, after years of auditions, my application had been accepted for the Royal Welsh College of Music Drama.

The Guardian leader column and the Conservative former lord chancellor, Lord Mackay of taza stanley Clashfern, are not invariably as one. Yet Lord Mackay s views on the rule of law, which can be found in a Commons select committee report published yesterday, deserve wide circulation and support. Today, MPs from all parties will compete to denounce the European court of human rights ruling against Britain s blanket ban on prisoners voting rights. Many will do so because they oppose a general right to vote; others because they get a rush of blood to the head at any ruling by any European court or by any court on human rights grounds. Some will be outraged on all counts. But Lord Mackay is less easily tempted. He told the committee that the key problem for the court was not our denial of votes to prisoners but the blanket nature of our ban 鈥?one which, among western European nations, is indiscriminately applied only in the UK, Ireland and Liechtenstein. Then he stressed a far deeper principle. If we believe in stanley us the rule of law, he said, we are just as much bound to observe the decisions of the European court on matters within their competence as we are to obey the decisions of our own courts in matters within [theirs]. Anti-Europeans will bridle at that, willing stanley thermosflasche to ignore both our treaty obligations and the profound interrelationship between international and national law. Yet Lord Mackay is right, as also was Ken Clarke yesterday. MPs may be free to change the law. B

A neonatal nurse has been found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six more, making her the worst child serial killer in modern British history and raising urgent questions over whether her crimes could have been stopped.Lucy Letby, 33, was convicted of the persistent, calculated and cold-blooded murder of five premature boys and two newborn girls on the unit where she worked at the Countess of Chester hospital in north-west England.As ministers ordered an independent inquiry into how Letby was able to carry out her horrifying campaign, a whistleblower told the Guardian that he believe stanley cup becher d babies would have been saved if hospital executives had acted sooner on concerns about the nurse.Dr Stephen Brearey, who was the first to alert executives to Letbys connection to unusual deaths and collapses, said he felt bosses had been neglectful by failing to cont stanley cup act the police earlier.Letby was in her mid-20s when she preyed on highly vulnerable babies between June 2015 and June 2016, often attacking them just moments after their parents or nurses had left their side.
