Тридцать с лишним лет назад простодушные советские люди – начали яростно ломать свою страну… Фото: Христофоров Валерий/ТАСС Тридцать с лишним лет назад простодушные, ну никакого решительно представления о реальной жизни не имевшие советские люди – начали яростно ломать свою страну. Уточню: ломать не коммунизм, не всесильное учение Маркса – Энгельса – Ленина и не систему идиотских запретов родом из тридцатых годов – все это можно было осторожно и постепенно реформировать и отменить. Нет, они сломали именно свое огромное, почти уникальное на планете хозяйство, с его бесценными, бриллиантовыми активами вроде военного…

Dear Abby: Drunken flirting puts close friend at greater distance

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been close friends with a woman named “Louise” for five years. Recently, we were all hanging out, and Louise got very drunk and tried to massage lotion into my husband’s hands.

My husband has expressed to me that these situations made him very uncomfortable, and they do the same to me. We talked about letting Louise know, but he felt it would…

Knicks cough up 13-point lead in third quarter, fall to Utah Jazz for third straight loss

Austin Rivers was briefly incredible and Donovan Mitchell was miserable throughout. But the Knicks still managed to get blown out Tuesday by the Jazz, 108-94. Rivers’ shooting hand was aflame in the first half. His heat checks kept coming up positive. But after hitting his first 10 shots for 25 points in 12 minutes, including five from beyond the arc, the backup guard was subbed out and never scored again. The Jazz (13-4), the league’s hottest team, capitalized on Rivers’ extended absence by erasing a 13-point deficit in the third…

Ramon Royandoyan (Philstar.com) – January 27, 2021 – 12:01pm MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines’ contentious plan to have four separate airports servicing Metro Manila and neighboring provinces just hit a fresh setback that would likely benefit tycoon Ramon Ang’s sprawling new gateway north of the capital.

CHICAGO — U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney on Tuesday accused fellow Republicans of fomenting political division by perpetuating the myth that massive voter fraud denied Donald Trump reelection, and said unity will be difficult to achieve without acknowledging Democratic President Joe Biden won a fair contest.

Japan’s COVID crisis reawakens deflation fears as cash hoarding returns

By Leika Kihara and Kaori Kaneko TOKYO (Reuters) – A spike in coronavirus infections in Japan is driving local households to do what they have always done in times of crisis: spend less and save more, stoking fears of a deeper retail recession and grinding deflation. Fifty-year-old Hiromi Suzuki is doing just that having quit her job at a Tokyo novelty store in December after the pandemic hit sales. “I try not to spend money,” she said, walking her dog in the city. “Since I don’t go out much, I…

Отметивший 100-летие Егор Лигачев знает, что и когда пошло не так!

Борис, ты не прав: отметивший 100-летие Егор Лигачев знает, что и когда пошло не так! «Он был одной из опорных колонн системы, власть воспитала его старательнее других. В нем было много веры, но мир его был разукрашен узорчиками из догм, — писал про Лигачева один из его главных врагов, главред перестроечного “Огонька” Виталий Коротич. — Для участия в заговорах Лигачев был простоват, слишком порядочен и самоуверен. Его коммунизм был где-то посередине между русским монастырем и коммунистическим субботником. Он готов был завершить очередной пленум ЦК крестным ходом, но при этом свято…

John Niyo: Stafford trade talks raise pressure — and possibility — for new Lions GM Brad Holmes

Lions ownership didn’t even know who Brad Holmes was a couple of months ago. Now Sheila Ford Hamp is trusting a newly-hired, first-time general manager to trade away the most prolific passer in franchise history — and to get fair market value in return. If that sounds like a huge leap of faith, it is. But it’s also a huge opportunity for the 41-year-old Holmes to prove himself, tasked with orchestrating a deal that’ll go a long way in charting this franchise’s future, to say nothing of his own. Nearly…

Duce Staley reportedly joining Lions’ staff as assistant head coach

A Covid crisis foretold: Asylum seekers should never have been held in military barracks

The alarming news that there has been a Covid-19 outbreak at the migrant camp in Kent has confirmed early warnings from migrant rights activists about the poor conditions the Home Office is exposing people to, by placing them in disused military barracks. Back in September, when the base was set to house hundreds who had entered the country, politicians, charities and human rights organisations spoke out against the decision. The “temporary accommodation” was deemed unfit, the facilities poor, space limited, safety inadequate. All these factors combined, it was argued, would…

Tom Krasovic: Tyreek Hill of Chiefs heads back to Super Bowl with Bucs well aware of his dangerous speed

The best performance in the Super Bowl tournament’s semifinals belonged to a player who stands 5-foot-8 and weighs 185 pounds. Tyreek Hill, actually measured at 5-8 and an eighth of an inch by NFL scouts at his Pro Day in 2016, dominated the AFC title game as a receiver and a decoy. Hill, in laying waste to a sound but insufficiently fast Buffalo Bills defense, reaffirmed his status as the NFL’s most dangerous non-quarterback on offense (with the possible exception of Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce). You’d have to see him…

Senate Republican leader McConnell offers support for power-sharing deal with Democrats

(Reuters) – Mitch McConnell, the U.S. Senate Republican leader, in a statement on Monday said he would support a power-sharing agreement with Democrats after days of impasse held up the basic organization and daily work of the 50-50 chamber. Democrat Chuck Schumer, now the majority leader thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris’ tie-breaking vote, and McConnell had been at odds over the Republican’s demand that Democrats promise to protect the filibuster, which requires a 60-vote supermajority to advance most legislation.

Biden signs “Buy American” order to support manufacturing industry

President Joe Biden on Monday signed a “Buy American” executive order to ensure that the federal government spends taxpayers’ money on U.S.-made goods in an effort to revitalize the country’s manufacturing industry. “Under the previous administration, the federal government contract awarded directly to foreign companies went up 30 percent. That is going to change on our watch,” Biden told a press conference, criticizing former President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy for not doing enough to invest in the country’s businesses. Some $600 billion is spent for government procurement every y…

Democrats may try to pass Biden’s COVID bill with majority vote: Schumer

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Monday that Democrats may try to pass much of President Joe Biden’s coronavirus relief bill using a process that would bypass a Republican filibuster and could pass with a majority vote. Biden wants Congress to pass a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief proposal, but many Republicans have balked at the price tag. The Senate is split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans, with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris holding the tie-breaking vote. Sixty votes are needed to overcome a procedural hurdle…

Эксплуатация человека недочеловеком!?

Эксплуатация человека недочеловеком!? Многие наши соотечественники и практически все западные обыватели твёрдо убеждены в созидающей роли предпринимательства и отсутствии в современном цивилизовано-демократическом обществе эксплуатации. Вместе с тем многочисленные негативные результаты взаимодействия с системой наёмного труда в персонально своих жизнях они легкомысленно относят на самоуправство начальства, низкую «оплату труда», «кризисные явления», «падение курса», приезжих, «макроэкономические проблемы» и т. д., вплоть до хронического невезения. Особенно такого рода представления укоренены в среде лиц, не занятых непосредственно производительным трудом, не видящих отчуждения материального воплощения своей трудовой деятельности. Не только наёмные работники не замечают эксплуатации, наши…
