If you’re looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that puts natural-sounding analog audio front and center, then you’ll appreciate the orange box. As long as you don’t have too many other requirements, of course. Orange have been making guitar amps since the 1960s and that apparently doesn’t change the formula for competing with common plastic Bluetooth speakers with all the mod cons. Personally, I like the bohemian design and bright orange exterior, which is a refreshing change from what you’ll usually find. You have to deal with the loss of some useful features and it’s less robust than some other…
A law passed in Israel’s parliament on Monday to limit the power of the judiciary has left the country in something of a cliffhanger, with the real effects of the government’s decision likely to remain unclear for weeks or even months.The opposition fears a slow descent into authoritarianism, while the government – which dismisses such concerns – waits to see how disruptive and protracted the response from its critics will be. The law strips Israel’s Supreme Court of the power to overturn government actions and appointments it deems “unreasonable,” which opponents fear is a first step toward gutting the power…

A good, a bad and an anecdote about the United States. Good. Recently (actually 2021 and 2023), when I came to my cabin in Minaki, Ontario, I stopped at a large Walmart near the Winnipeg airport to stock up. A large percentage of the workers there are Indian or Pakistani (I guess it’s the former) and they have a great attitude and work ethic. They smile and are helpful and in some of them I can almost see the pleasure they have in their work. I’m even less of a fan of Justin Trudeau than I was of his father,…

Yves here. Richard Murphy has summarized an important paper by James Galbraith, which discusses two different, but actually somewhat related, central bank fixings. One is the loanable funds theory, which is the long-debunked and false notion that banks lend pre-existing savings. In fact, banks create new deposits each time they lend; they do not need to tap into an existing savings/investment pool. Galbraith then turns to why central banks pursue high interest rates. The answer is not pretty. By Richard Murphy, Chartered Accountant and Political Economist. He was described by the Guardian newspaper as an “anti-poverty and tax activist”. He…
