More like American Erdogan or American Lula TBH
Or maybe American Duterte vs American Clement Attlee
TBH I just hope it's not American Franco vs American Largo Caballero
American Charles Coughlin vs. American Eugene Debs

oh wait
We should have a competition to see who can name the most obscure rightist and leftist leaders from history
American Rufus Shinra vs American Tifa Lockhart

k I think I'm done

Krugman is right about Venezuela's macroeconomic mistakes, but he misses a huge, crucial point.

Chavez redirected the revenues of Venezuela's state-owned oil company away from reinvestment and toward A) social programs, and B) corruption, which caused a big drop in output.
"Venezuela has always been a corrupt petrostate" ignores the fact that A) before Chavez it managed to keep up oil production, and B) other corrupt petrostates took a far more minor hit when Venezuela was crashing.
Venezuela's arbitrary nationalizations and expropriations also hurt investment.

1/Today's @bopinion post is about the economy of (arguably) the most important country in the world: India.

bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
2/India's economy looked like it was in the fast lane, but there has been a rapid deterioration.
3/In fact, things may now be even worse than that graph suggests.

Remember, these charts include health insurance premiums in "health costs", but don't include employer health insurance premium contributions in "wages". This is a problem.
Health care costs are a huge problem but they're not so big that they're actually reducing real wages overall.

Here are real median personal income, real median weekly earnings for full-time employees, and real hourly compensation.
Those three measures are all different, but together they give a good indication of individual income after the costs of health care, housing, education, transport, and a bunch of other things are taken into account.

None has gone up by nearly enough. But all have gone up.

Cosas que #Franco no hizo por mucho que se repitan.

No puedo evitar ver con tristeza cómo algunos comparten estos días fotos de Franco atribuyendo a su dictadura logros que no le corresponden.

Los que estéis cansados de propaganda y noticias falsas aquí tenéis la verdad.

Hilo!
#Franco no creó la seguridad social – La seguridad social se inicia a través de la comisión de reformas sociales de 1883 y es en 1900 cuando se comienzan a aplicar estas políticas. La seguridad social queda institucionalizada en 1908 a través del instituto nacional de previsión.
#Franco no creó las magistraturas de trabajo – Las magistraturas de trabajo se aprueban por la ley de jurados mixtos del 7 de Mayo de 1931 por parte del ministro de trabajo Francisco Largo Caballero.

If people read US Defense Secretacy @EsperDoD speech, it is clear that USArmy is not between Turkish Army and PKK Terrorists,the later one (PKK) is called as ally by USA
@Newsweek @Independent @ehamedya @ragipsoylu @OmerOzkizilcik @malikejder_ @haskologlu
@EsperDoD @Newsweek @Independent @ragipsoylu @OmerOzkizilcik @malikejder_ @haskologlu After @EsperDoD speech, according to agreement between Turkish Army & US Army, (all US ground troops GPS coordinates have aldreay given), Turkish AirForce and other forces started to bomb some locations in west part of Ayn El Arab (PKK renamed it as Kobani)
@EsperDoD @Newsweek @Independent @ragipsoylu @OmerOzkizilcik @malikejder_ @haskologlu That is clear that Western Media are trying to spread "fake news" against US President @realDonaldTrump to be able to create an pressure in public. Already Turkey continues to operation according to the talk between Mr. Trump and President of Turkey, Mr. @RTErdogan.

Las izquierdas están en modo histérico con las palabras de @Ortega_Smith sobre las #TreceRosas
No están acostumbradas a que un político de derechas replique las mentiras que forman la #MemoriaHistorica
Sobre esas 'señoritas', leed el hilo de @oscarclave
@Ortega_Smith @oscarclave Y @JaviSantamarta ha tenido el acierto de recordar que el #5deOctubre se cumplen 85 años del golpe de estado del PSOE, la UGT y el PCE contra un Gobierno constitucional y parlamentario del Partido Radical de Lerroux con tres ministros de la CEDA.
@Ortega_Smith @oscarclave @JaviSantamarta #RevolucionDeAsturias ha sido siempre muy mal estudiada, incluso en el franquismo, que no le daba la importancia que merece.
Hoy se presenta en muchos libros de texto como una ‘huelga general’ en protesta por los ministros de la CEDA... que era un partido legal y el más votado.

#American’sTopVillan The man with the strongest influence on the GOP, on the Federal and state levels, is #CharlesKoch. He threw $400M into the 2018 midterms (GOP, of course). Mike Pence is his b**t-boy, and through his complex network came much of the original cabinet
– Tillerson, Perry, Pompeo, Sessions, Haley, Ross, Price, DeVos and Zinke. The network’s ALEC undermines state laws across the country – things like abortion rights, union rights, and environmental protections.
He undermines college education across the country, by funding reactionary professors. His Federalist Society is destroying Federal courts at all levels, including Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. He helps fund the NRA.

Erdogan in an op-ed in @WSJ :

“Moderate rebels played a key role in Turkey’s fight against terrorists in Northern #Syria; their assistance and guidance will be crucial in Idlib as well”
2-Erdogan: “Preventing the assault on #Idlib need not set back counter-terrorism efforts. Turkey has succeeded in fighting terrorist groups, including ISIS and the PKK, without harming or displacing civilians”

Notice how he doesn’t include Nusra /al-Qaeda in above group
3- Erdogan: “Turkey’s ability to maintain order in Northern #Syria is proof that a responsible approach to counter-terrorism can win hearts and minds”
