I assume most of you have read 1984.

If you haven't then you're basically a traitor.

Anyway, there's a part in it where the chocolate ration is heralded as a triumph when it's increased to 50 grams. Even though it had been 70 grams 2 weeks previously. And the people cheer. 

That's where his cult is. Doublethinking their way to Twitter for a row.

Reminds me of early in Trump's first term where his press lady used the term "alternative facts" 🤪

I get where you're coming from now regarding cult behaviour

Orwell was a genius. And something of a Nostradamus.

It's a long time since I read it, I may have to again

My favourite. I've read it at least a dozen times, and not only for the insight into Fascism. It's just a perfectly written book.

How has it actually come to this that the most powerful man in the world is some lunatic who is playing some kind of political version of Championship Manager in the real world.

The most powerful man in the world saying things like world leaders are ringing him up and kissing his ass in a mock voice a 10yr old would use.

It's truly bizarre.

Because the yanks 

are the most 

thick as Fuck Cunts on Earth 

and lapping it up

Had to laugh about his executive order to “make America's showers great again" as he criticised the "ridiculous" amount of time he says it takes to wet his hair in the shower.

Surely he meant in his washing machine?

My armchair is next to a bookcase with Orwell, Jules Verne and HG Wells on the shelves... I read al the time, since Spider's post, I will be dipping into 1984 again soon

My daughter bought me "Julia" by Sandra Newman for Christmas, which is basically '1984' from the point of view of Julia, rather than Winston. The reviews look good, but I haven't read it yet. I'll delve in next week while I'm on holiday.

It's all about eggs apparently....

Quote

Egg prices in the US have reached a record high of $6.23 (£4.82) per dozen, the latest official data shows.

That's tricky for Donald Trump, who repeatedly promised to get the prices of eggs down during his election campaign.

Why? In the US, the price of eggs is used by politicians from both sides as an indicator of the cost of living in general. It's a stat that is used as a stand-in for prices overall.

Last month, Trump gave a speech in which he said his predecessor Joe Biden had "let the price of eggs get out of control".

I buy from our local farm shop, and it's £3 for 12, fresh as anything they are, covered in shit and feathers 

Dunno how much they are in a supermarket though

He's hiked the tariffs for China again, up to 145% now 🫣

He's either.. 

1) really clever, and is several steps ahead of every economist in the world

2) thicker than a whale omelette 

 

Sadly, this won't end well for anybody

I am not sure this has anything to do with economics though. It's a political move to appeal to his base and those billionaires backing him.

The China thing is odd though as they make tons of stuff the US buy so I am unsure what the plan is there.

Correct. Fresher the better. You can tell by the colour of the yolks

You probably get Tesco own free range medium, they are about £1.65.

You can get others but I find they aren't worth the extra, you are better off going to a farm.
