Very remarkable achievemnet by the 2 sisters for the Human Rights Commission. This article explains what happened recently in the firing of Pakistan's Chief Justice of Supreme Court by President Musharraf. It started when the Chief Justice agreed to hear petitions on behalf of missing persons filed by the Human Rights Commission for those missing in raids by the government to control opposition and supposedly Islamic extremists. Still shows that the protests reflect a greater freedom of expression in Pakistan than under previous military regimes while at the same time reflect a frustration with years of military rule even as economic progress is being made with 7% growth for several years in Pakistan.

The irrelevancy of the Obama presidency - The Washington Post

Indifference on the Republican side, and a sense that not much is going to get done on the Democratic side, as President Obama pitches a $447 billion second stimulus plan in a speech to both houses of the U.S. Congress on September 8, 2011. Dana Milbank documents the attitudes and skepticism with which members of Congress received the proposals- a general sense that President Obama was too weak and ineffective to get things done and has lost credibility. John Taylor, senior economic advisor on the Republican side pointed out in a Wall Street Journal column a few days before the speech, that the jobs proposals Obama and economic advisor Alan Krueger were presenting were similiar to old plans that have not produced results. Taylor viewed them as placing too much reliance on government and not enough on the private sector to generate economic growth and jobs.

Opinion | The Realtors Stage a $418 Million Tactical Retreat

  
WSJ - 03.19.2024 Original article ›
The Editorial Board
LyrArc Article Gist
Realtor commissions average 5.5 to 6.5% for decades split evenly between buyer and seller broker agents. Overall commissions in UK are 1.3%, Netherlands 1.8% by comparison. Another cost of living action is being taken by the US Justice Department. This Editorial Board editorial in WSJ says realtors are using rigged game in which home buyers and sellers end up paying high broker fees that are not paid in other countries. The US Justice Department of the Biden administration says- the Missouri verdict in a class action lawsuit against NAR for $1.8 billion settlement only offers cosmetic changes and will still perpetuate "stubbornly high broker fees." WSJ says legal scrutiny should continue.

Abroad at the Pump, Circumspection by the Barrel

Gasoline prices in Europe are much higher because of the gasoline tax. In many countries many of the taxes on gasoline are fixed and as a result it does not move up as crude prices go up. The proportion of the price at the pump which is the gasoline tax is larger in Europe which makes an increase in the underlying price of crude oil less keenly felt. Europe has invested in public transportation and Europeans use smaller cars which compensate for the higher price. Japan and S. Korea also follow the European practice of higher gasoline taxes which encourages conservation and the use of smaller cars.

Opinion | The Tories Will Lose the Election. But What Will Labour Win?

Britain turns to Labour as the lead for Labour party increases to 27 points after Sunak announces the general election will be held on July 4, 2024. What would a Starmer administration look like and how will it meet the expectations of Britain for generational change after the failure of Brexit, and 14 years of austerity policies that failed to invest in Britain and failed to deliver on infrastructure and housing? These are questions not easily answered as Britain's finances are left in a bad state by the Tories for Labour. Starmer is taking the right approach to first get a grasp of the tremendous challenges facing Labour in this situation. It was easy for Boris Johnson and the Tories to make the promises that were never kept and left the British people in the lurch.
