It's a few days old now but I want to call out Tom and Terrance for missing the obvious "tweet miser" joke when they were talking about about trump being like the heat miser

"Year Without a Santa Claus" is the best in the Rankin/Bass canon and to be so woefully uneducated about South Town is to prove one's self a charlatan

I had a big buff white guy call me a race traitor on election day lol. I'm serious. I did not point out that I'm Hispanic mostly because I was busy trying not to laugh. Also the dudes big lifted truck meant here was like a 50% chance he was a cop so the less interaction the better.

Grace blakely, a corbynite and contributor to the novarra podcast wrote a book that looks pretty good

https://www.amazon.ca/Stolen-How-Save-World-Financialisation/dp/1912248379

quote:

“Proposals for a tunnel linking the UK and France date back to the nineteenth century.17 In 1802 the French engineer Albert Mathieu-Favier put together a blueprint to dig a tunnel under the English Channel, illuminated by oil lamps to light a path for horse-drawn carriages. A desire to seal off the cliffs of Dover from any European invasion prevented the project from being taken up until 1980, when Thatcher’s newly elected Conservative government agreed to work with the socialist French President François Mitterrand to take forward the proposition. Thatcher had one condition: the project would be financed privately. This was no small ask. At the time, the £5bn Channel Tunnel was the largest infrastructure project ever proposed. Whilst state-owned and well-regulated private French investors eagerly stepped forward to provide their half of the funding, the City was less keen on the idea. This was something of an embarrassment for a British government intent on proving that it was host to the most powerful financial centre on the planet, and it took interventions by the Bank of England and the government to finally ensure that adequate capital was raised.

quote:

“Almost as soon as construction began, costs began to mount. The engineering problems were almost enough to derail the project on their own, but the real trouble lay with figuring out who amongst the plethora of different actors involved would pick up the extra costs. Adding to the trouble, high interest rates meant that the financing costs of the project were 140% higher than expected — a year-long delay cost an extra £700m in interest charges. By 1995, Eurotunnel was up and running, a year late, and 80% over budget. The company lost £900m in its first year of operation. Three years later, it had undergone three state rescues. In 2003, its interest payments of £320m were almost double its operating profits of £170m.

quote:

“And yet, when the government decided that it needed to upgrade the rail network that went through the tunnel, it concluded that the project should, once again, be privately financed. HS1 — otherwise known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link — also turned out to be a disaster. Yet again, a consortium was created to raise the finance needed for the project. Yet again, overoptimistic assumptions about future revenues meant that it was unable to find the funding it needed. And yet again, the government stepped in to bail out the private consortium and save the project. The Public Accounts Committee found that the project has left taxpayers “saddled with £4.8bn worth of debt”.

As private financing has been extended into ever more areas of public spending, public investment has collapsed, falling to just 2.6% of GDP in 2018 — well below the OECD average of 3.2%.19 A recent report on private financing initiatives from the National Audit Office revealed that most of these projects have been entirely unsuitable for private financing, and that some projects are costing the public 40% more than would have been the case had public money been used directly”

Hello podcast thread, atypical seriouspost here. I have a boring manufacturing job now and they let us listen to podcasts/musics while we're exploited. Any suggestions for good anarchist-y podcasts? Or just generally humanistic leftism. I quite enjoy Srsly Wrong's focus on library socialism, for example. And if anyone has good statist-y podcasts that'd be nice, I've got 8 hours to fill after all. xoxo love u all

while their politics can't be clearly sorted into anarchist/statist categories, radio war nerd is very good. they have put up some episodes for free, which you could check out to see if you like them. but between the quality of the show, the depth of the backlog, and at least one of the host's financial woes, it's the only podcast i can say is worth spending money on. hell, even if you only signed up for a month, you could download all ~200 episodes for 5 bucks then unsubscribe.
