A country where a minority of voters can elect a president with king-like authority and impunity and federal agencies that lack the power to do any of the things they are meant to do if big rich companies say they don't like it. Culmination shit for the right wing project.

Biden is the physical manifestation of the incapacity of the old, liberal order, as it confronts a reinvigorated extreme right. Mumbling liberalism was never going to be enough. Without a radical, uplifting left politics, we stand to lose everything.

The Government of Denmark had just agreed to a tax on livestock emissions. €40 in 2030, rising to €100 in 2035. Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen says: "We will be the first country in the world with a CO2 tax on agriculture.” Looks like New Zealand is now distinctly behind in that race.
