Strolling around with Wifey this afternoon in inner city Melb, we saw about 30 cops, standing around or talking with shop and bar owners. It looked really intense.

I asked a cop what was going on and he obliquely responded that there was a “targeted incident” last evening in the area and that they were asking people if they saw anything.

When I got home and took a look at the Age. (first time in years)

This happened.

A 53-year-old man who was shot dead while walking along a Melbourne street near a popular nightlife area was associated with organised crime, police have revealed.
?The shooting on Almeida Crescent in South Yarra about 11.40pm yesterday was a “targeted attack” on the man, who lived in the suburb, Crime Command Detective Superintendent Geri Porter has confirmed
Porter said the victim was with another man and had just been to the gym when a number of shots were fired at him.

and

He suffered life-threatening injuries and died on the way to hospital.
Porter said the man who was with victim at the time of the shooting had since been refusing to provide police with information, and that police believed the shooting was linked to a car found torched in Rowville today.

The ‘Truth’ is that we live in a post truth world where lying and believing in lies is perfectly acceptable and encouraged, especially amongst the wealthy overlords.

According to David Brookes it’s the professional class, Razey. The business/ Entrepreneurial types are busy trying to make a quid and live their lives.

Of all people, David Brookes from the New York Times wrote about exactly this. He identifies with the professional class, but the light is beginning to switch on is fat head.

Here’s the piece.

What if We’re the Bad Guys Here?

David Brooks

Opinion Columnist

Donald Trump seems to get indicted on a weekly basis. Yet he is utterly dominating his Republican rivals in the polls, and he is tied with Joe Biden in the general election surveys. Trump’s poll numbers are stronger against Biden now than at any time in 2020.

What’s going on here? Why is this guy still politically viable, after all he’s done?

We anti-Trumpers often tell a story to explain that. It was encapsulated in a quote the University of North Carolina political scientist Marc Hetherington gave to my colleague Thomas B. Edsall recently: “Republicans see a world changing around them uncomfortably fast, and they want it to slow down, maybe even take a step backward. But if you are a person of color, a woman who values gender equality or an L.G.B.T. person, would you want to go back to 1963? I doubt it.”

In this story, we anti-Trumpers are the good guys, the forces of progress and enlightenment. The Trumpers are reactionary bigots and authoritarians. Many Republicans support Trump no matter what, according to this story, because at the end of the day, he’s still the bigot in chief, the embodiment of their resentments and that’s what matters to them most.

I partly agree with this story, but it’s also a monument to elite self-satisfaction.

So let me try another story on you. I ask you to try on a vantage point in which we anti-Trumpers are not the eternal good guys. In fact, we’re the bad guys.

This story begins in the 1960s, when high school grads had to go off to fight in Vietnam but the children of the educated class got college deferments. It continues in the 1970s, when the authorities imposed busing on working-class areas in Boston but not on the upscale communities like Wellesley where they themselves lived.

The ideal that we’re all in this together was replaced with the reality that the educated class lives in a world up here and everybody else is forced into a world down there. Members of our class are always publicly speaking out for the marginalized, but somehow we always end up building systems that serve ourselves.

The most important of those systems is the modern meritocracy. We built an entire social order that sorts and excludes people on the basis of the quality that we possess most: academic achievement. Highly educated parents go to elite schools, marry each other, work at high-paying professional jobs and pour enormous resources into our children, who get into the same elite schools, marry each other and pass their exclusive class privileges down from generation to generation.

Daniel Markovits summarized years of research in his book “The Meritocracy Trap”: “Today, middle-class children lose out to the rich children at school, and middle-class adults lose out to elite graduates at work. Meritocracy blocks the middle class from opportunity. Then it blames those who lose a competition for income and status that, even when everyone plays by the rules, only the rich can win.”

The meritocracy isn’t only a system of exclusion; it’s an ethos. During his presidency, Barack Obama used the word “smart” in the context of his policies over 900 times. The implication was that anybody who disagreed with his policies (and perhaps didn’t go to Harvard Law) must be stupid.

Over the last decades, we’ve taken over whole professions and locked everybody else out. When I began my journalism career in Chicago in the 1980s, there were still some old crusty working-class guys around the newsroom. Now we’re not only a college-dominated profession; we’re an elite-college-dominated profession. Only 0.8 percent of college students graduate from the super-elite 12 schools (the Ivy League colleges, plus Stanford, M.I.T., Duke and the University of Chicago). A 2018 study found that more than 50 percent of the staff writers at the beloved New York Times and The Wall Street Journal attended one of the 29 most elite universities in the nation.

Writing in Compact magazine, Michael Lind observes that the upper-middle-class job market looks like a candelabrum: “Those who manage to squeeze through the stem of a few prestigious colleges and universities in their youth can then branch out to fill leadership positions in almost every vocation.”

Or, as Markovits puts it, “elite graduates monopolize the best jobs and at the same time invent new technologies that privilege superskilled workers, making the best jobs better and all other jobs worse.”

Members of our class also segregate ourselves into a few booming metro areas: San Francisco, D.C., Austin and so on. In 2020, Biden won only 500 or so counties, but together they are responsible for 71 percent of the American economy. Trump won over 2,500 counties, responsible for only 29 percent. Once we find our cliques, we don’t get out much. In the book “Social Class in the 21st Century,” the sociologist Mike Savage and his co-researchers found that the members of the highly educated class tend to be the most insular, measured by how often we have contact with those who have jobs unlike our own.

Armed with all kinds of economic, cultural and political power, we support policies that help ourselves. Free trade makes the products we buy cheaper, and our jobs are unlikely to be moved to China. Open immigration makes our service staff cheaper, but new, less-educated immigrants aren’t likely to put downward pressure on our wages.

Like all elites, we use language and mores as tools to recognize one another and exclude others. Using words like “problematic,” “cisgender,” “Latinx” and “intersectional” is a sure sign that you’ve got cultural capital coming out of your ears. Meanwhile, members of the less-educated classes have to walk on eggshells because they never know when we’ve changed the usage rules so that something that was sayable five years ago now gets you fired.

We also change the moral norms in ways that suit ourselves, never mind the cost to others. For example, there used to be a norm that discouraged people from having children outside marriage, but that got washed away during our period of cultural dominance, as we eroded norms that seemed judgmental or that might inhibit individual freedom.

After this social norm was eroded, a funny thing happened. Members of our class still overwhelmingly married and had children within wedlock. People without our resources, unsupported by social norms, were less able to do that. As Adrian Wooldridge points out in his magisterial 2021 book, “The Aristocracy of Talent,” “Sixty percent of births to women with only a high school certificate occur out of wedlock, compared with only 10 percent to women with a university degree.” That matters, he continues, because “the rate of single parenting is the most significant predictor of social immobility in the country.”

Does this mean that I think the people in my class are vicious and evil? No. Most of us are earnest, kind and public-spirited. But we take for granted and benefit from systems that have become oppressive. Elite institutions have become so politically progressive in part because the people in them want to feel good about themselves as they take part in systems that exclude and reject.

It’s easy to understand why people in less-educated classes would conclude that they are under economic, political, cultural and moral assault — and why they’ve rallied around Trump as their best warrior against the educated class. He understood that it’s not the entrepreneurs who seem most threatening to workers; it’s the professional class. Trump understood that there was great demand for a leader who would stick his thumb in our eyes on a daily basis and reject the whole epistemic regime that we rode in on.

If distrustful populism is your basic worldview, the Trump indictments seem like just another skirmish in the class war between the professionals and the workers, another assault by a bunch of coastal lawyers who want to take down the man who most aggressively stands up to them. Of course, the indictments don’t cause Trump supporters to abandon him. They cause them to become more fiercely loyal. That’s the polling story of the last six months.

Are Trump supporters right that the indictments are just a political witch hunt? Of course not. As a card-carrying member of my class, I still basically trust the legal system and the neutral arbiters of justice. Trump is a monster in the way we’ve all been saying for years and deserves to go to prison.

But there’s a larger context here. As the sociologist E. Digby Baltzell wrote decades ago, “History is a graveyard of classes which have preferred caste privileges to leadership.” That is the destiny our class is now flirting with. We can condemn the Trumpian populists until the cows come home, but the real question is: When will we stop behaving in ways that make Trumpism inevitable?

Damn! Lovely ladies.

I’m reading Australia and the Vietnam War by Peter Edwards – good , one volume history of that shooting match.

It’s an article of faith that Vietnam Veterans, disappointed with the response of the R.S.L. to mental and physical ailments, formed the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia – they set up a counseling service specifically for Vietnam veterans that went on to become “Open Arms.”

However, it seems more veterans joined the R.S.L. then joined VVAA – more again joined neither.

Pharma-Funded TGA Downplays Pfizer Adverse Events

BWAHAHAHAHA, Yes, I will answer this ridiculous post. This idiot, with snot running down his nose, singles me out as THE ONLY person who tried to educate Liz into NOT making every post about her. FFS.

LOl. As the only one?

A comment ago, I mentioned how you were part of.a despicable pile-on gang. It appeared to be a very self satisfied little bunch until I intervened and stopped it.

And Kez is still reeling from that. It’s made her angrier against me.

There were many others, but this troll singles me out because, I, along with Johanna were probably the most effective. Notice this thing doesn’t dare attack Johanna.

How weird. Kez is now bringing in other people into the abuse. What a squealer. I’ve always said that I had no interest in getting involved in a girt on girl spat and also, Johanna was never joining a pile on. One on one wasn’t my concern.

Angry Kez and his gang of pathetic loons were onto a pile on.

Keep in mind that a few comments ago, Kez was denying any of this. She wanted evidence.

Evidence or go a bite some tyers. You lose again.

Now she’s saying she wasn’t the only one and dobbing in Johanna. Just pathetic.

Why is that? Because he would have his arse handed to him on a plate.

Really? Johanna and I had stoushes going back years.

Kez is deluding herself that I ever shy away from arguments.

He doesn’t attack recent comments re. Lizzie’s fetishes. Why is that?

Why would I as I don’t really care much one way or another. Liz doesn’t go out her way to upset people by attacking them. Angry Kez does, weakly by joining in pile ons. Weak and pathetic.

He aims his vitriol at me. (Because he cannot accept a women has his measure.)

Kez, sometimes you’re a woman and other times you’ve claimed to be a manly man. How often are you transitioning back and forth? Honest and real question.

Let me reiterate: During the “Lizzie Wars” not once did this f/stain come to Lizzie’s defense. Not once.

Sure I did, I ended it, which is why some of these pile onners are still angry or no longer here.

Game. Set. match.

Serena needs to get her head out of her arse and try to stop being so, so angry.

Just wondering, could anyone offer a ranking of trades/occupations/professions?

Gentleman?

Academia is BROKEN! – Stanford President Scandal Explained

Who knew Japan were working on an atomic bomb too?

Born a few weeks before the outbreak of World War 1I, I was six years old when the Enola Gay dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima. A child of the atomic age, my nickname at East Kew Primary was Adam Bomb.

Talking to Ray Monk about his biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical phycisist known as “the father of the atomic bomb”, my memories came rushing back. Including the memory of something Japan has preferred to forget, and wants the world to forget: the inconvenient truth that Japan, as well as the US and Germany, was working on the A Bomb. How do I know this? Because a bloke called Teddy Conant told me.

Here’s the essence of the story. As a child, Ted was bounced on Einstein’s knee. His father, James B. Conant, held many senior positions in US academic, military and diplomatic life, including the presidency of Harvard and as his country’s first ambassador to West Germany. Having worked on the grim science of poison gas he would, years later, play a key role in the Manhattan Project. Conant witnessed the first Trinity detonation and was a member of the committee that advised President Harry Truman to bomb Hiroshima. Later, from a change of heart, he would oppose the development of the hydrogen bomb.
Read Next

Forty years ago Conant’s son Teddy, who looked eerily like Jerry Lewis’s nutty professor, was working for me – heading a team refining a unique Australian 3D system for film and television. Kerry Packer was our financier. We had R&D teams working in five cities. We were flying to visit technicians in Tokyo when Teddy dropped the metaphoric bombshell – quite casually informing us that the Japanese had been working on the bomb. I was incredulous, disbelieving. This was unknown to the wider world – and to those of us who regarded the US bombings as war crimes.

On our arrival, Teddy introduced me to an ex-journalist friend who had been researching Japan’s secret nuclear program for a book that was never published. He played us wire recordings of interviews with Japanese scientists who confessed their involvement, even though the program hadn’t been wildly successful. I heard him ask an ancient Japanese general the question, “Would you have used it?” The answer was chilling in its simplicity. After a laugh, “Of course!”

This changes nothing and everything.

Critics of the decision to bomb Japanese cities argue that that it did not hasten the end of the war (Japan was already defeated), that the atom bomb should have been demonstrated to the world in the desert rather than deployed, and that its real purpose was to frighten the USSR – to effectively declare the Cold War.

What seems clear to me is that the fact of a Japanese nuclear project at very least changes perceptions about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Yet nobody knows about it, least of all in modern Japan. Those who did know about it are long dead. Including my friend Teddy. But it’s part of the story of Oppenheimer, now being retold in Christopher Nolan’s film epic.

The nuclear club has nine sovereign members, with almost 13,000 nuclear weapons in the global stockpile. The Doomsday Clock is back at seconds to midnight … lest we forget.

I’d like proof that I have ever “claimed to be a manly man”.

Kez, I was trying to build you up here, and you don’t want to be described and manly? Okay. 🙂

Citation required – or you are lying once again – because you are incapable of producing a believable comeback. Your fallback position is to rely on nothing but smut. What a lowlife you are. You need professional help to rid yourself with your obsession with me.

I don’t get what I’m lying about. Those claims I made are true. You’ve told us you’re female and then reverted back to being male. It doesn’t matter these days if you’re unsure. As for being smutty? How so, Kez?

This obsession thing is the other way around. Just like this evening, you couldn’t stand I was ignoring you and you then had to pretend you didn’t know who Drills (Driller) is. You start 50% of these stoushes and I reserve the right to do the same. And I will because payback is a real bitch.

Stay true, Kez.

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PFE?p=PFE&.tsrc=fin-srch

My point was that is where they make the big bucks, not cancer treatments.

A firm that came up for the cure for Hep C for big bucks.

There is no vaccine to prevent hepatitis C, but medical innovations in recent years mean that oral treatments can cure most people. However, these newer drugs have a high cost that can make paying for hepatitis C treatment difficult.

and

Medication pricing is complex. When new medications hit the market, they are more expensive than older ones.

The medications do not have competition from other drug manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies can control their distribution.

Over time, as companies release competitor medications or the medicine is available as a generic drug, the competition usually drives the market cost down.

Also, the smaller the demand for a specific treatment, the higher the cost is of that medication. This is because pharmaceutical companies have to make more money per unit, as they will be selling the medication to fewer people.

Hepatitis C is a condition that affects approximately 3.5 million AmericansTrusted Source, with as many as half potentially unaware that they have the infection, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The fact that hepatitis C is a condition that affects millions of people should mean the drugs cost less. Even so, current treatment regimens can be very costly.

The cost, FMD

Ledipasvir-sofosbuvir (Harvoni): The average wholesale cost for Harvoni is $1,125 per pill. An 8-week treatment course is $63,000 while a 12-week treatment course is $94,500 and a 24-week one is $189,000.
Simeprevir (Olysio): The average wholesale cost for the medication is $790 per 150 milligrams (mg) capsule. A 28-day supply costs $22,120, and a 12-week supply costs $66,360. Sometimes a doctor will prescribe this along with the medication sofosbuvir, where a 12-week course of treatment for both medications totals about $150,000.
Sofosbuvir (Sovaldi): This medication costs $1,000 per 400 mg pill. The total cost for a 12-week course is around $84,000, and doctors will typically prescribe it with other medicines, such as simeprevir.
Ombitasvir-paritaprevir-ritonavir and dasabuvir (Viekira Pak): The cost for this medication is $83,319 for a 12-week treatment course. The cost for a 24-week treatment course is $166,638.

I suspect this is where we’re heading. There will be cures for cancers and all sorts of crap, but the price is going to be and has to be huge.

This is where the inequality rubber is going to meet the road.
