Grateful this morning for a spouse who correctly interprets my monosyllables and brings me #coffee.
(What I'm reading: a book on the history of the hymn #AmazingGrace, which I will be reviewing for #LibraryJournal.)

15 followers · 95 posts · Server mstdn.socialWhen #inflation is high, it becomes harder for #middle class to afford homes. Businesses also struggle to borrow #money, which is crucial for the real #economy. With higher #interest rates, both #middleclass and businesses have to make larger #payments. To cope with these increased costs, businesses freeze wages and even cut them, run #layoffs for middle-class workers. In essence, #highinflation is harming middle class and its #prosperity, causing #financial difficulties for #businesses.

During Mr. #Trump's presidency, #middleclass saw a decline while the wealthy class continued to prosper. Even before #COVID pandemic, #GINI index for the #USA (#SIPOVGINIUSA) was on the rise under Mr. Trump's leadership. However, the situation worsened under #Biden as the middle class experienced further impoverishment due to persistently high #inflation, which the Biden administration has been unable to control.

In all known situations, the construction of communism resulted in massive population #impoverishment, as in #capitalist countries with little #taxation. In the end, implementing the idea of comprehensive #wealth #redistribution is not much different from implementing the idea of pure or wild, minimally controlled #capitalism, because both ideals destroy the #middle #class and lead to #poverty.

A US pull-out is, most probably, just what they are hoping and waiting for.

Can anyone recommend me a (scientific) book (or several) on #Russia during the #Middle Ages?
Gladly with focus on Boris #Godunov ; the false Dmitriy, #Novgorod #Rurikid.
So until the beginning of the 16th century
Book can be in English, French and German
Last week I was with my 🇷🇺 wife in Vladimir and Rostov Velikij and had to realize my cluelessness

This is exactly why I have struggled to adapt my hashtag gong practices to really work on Mastodon. “On top of all that, in-post hashtags feel thirsty. After a decade of Twitter and Instagram, I associate them firmly with spammers and #blessed clout-chasing thinkfluencers, #shoehorning that #pound #symbol into the #middle of #sentences to reach more #eyeballs.” https://www.theverge.com/23673125/mastodon-separate-tags-hashtag-navigation-accessibility

I've been fascinated by this type of music ever since I found that Nacer Records YouTube channel. Wish I knew Arabic... I'm especially in love with the sound of the oud.
