You're sorta right. The economies of sovereign nations are not particularly similar to small households, however continuously incurring debt without raising significant revenue will kneecap a country's economy (eg the UK). Rather than focusing exclusively on debt the IMF should be strongly encouraging countries like the UK to drive up revenue by all means. The most obvious way of doing this is by raising taxes. The IMF is, however, in the thrall of big money which is fundamentally opposed to tax's.

Powerpop. What's not to like? Jangly guitars, vocal harmonies and killer hooks.

That would be the Republican politicians who were bought by Boeing and then cut the funding to the FAA

Interestingly the polls for this election are similar to the 2012 election which Obama won convincingly (https://www.270towin.com/2012_Election/)

How about a Rubbish truck, a street sweeper and a team of Hazmat cleaners instead?

How easy would it be for a foreign power to use inexpensive bot nets to amplify misinformation on a truly industrial scale on what are, essentially, unregulated social media platforms? Turns out the results are in and (a) it's very easy and (b) it's incredibly effective at sowing distrust and fear.

It's time to regulate social media folks. The "free speech" excuse has been proven demonstrably false by Musk, Zuckerberg et al.
