Federal appointments, Republican denials
Republican senators are blocking most of Biden's appointments to federal
judgeships in the US south.
This is partly because of a rule that the Senate won't vote on a
nominee unless the senators of per home state approve of per. ISTR
that the Republicans abolished that rule when the corrupter became
president,
so they could quickly fill the backlog of vacancies that
they had created by blocking all of Obama's nominations for years.
So why is that rule operating now? Did Democrats restore it?

Lula pursuing Bolsonarists
Lula accuses Brazilian thugs of colluding
with the Bolsonarists who
attacked the centers of government.
For instance, evidence shows that someone opened the door for them
in two of the three buildings.
He has called for the arrest of two of Bolsonaro's officials who were
in charge of security in Brazilia. They are
accused of sabotaging
security so as to facilitate
the insurrection.
One of went to Florida shortly before the insurrection and is
staying very close to where Bolsonaro is staying. By coincidence?

Gov't incentives, UK gas
UK businesses claim that reducing the subsidy they get for gas
would make it difficult for them
to invest in using less gas.
That smells to me like bullshit. Cut subsidy for business, or raise
taxes, and they will claim that they need that money to (1) invest in
decarbonizing and (2) invest in innovation. Or whatever thing they
now want businesses to invest in. But when they get that money,
they are likely to do something else with it.
Instead of subsidizing their fossil fuel bills, and hoping they will
use that to invest in energy efficiency, how about offering businesses
loans specifically to invest in energy efficiency?

Russian conscript injustice
A video shows a Russian conscript
accuse his commander of disobeying
Putin's orders to supply and train conscripts,
and shoving him.
The conscript was convicted of "doing physical harm" to the commander,
which appears to be somewhat of an exaggeration. However, what must
have hurt the commander most was this criticism. It is almost
impossible to believe that the criticism was not true. Is Putin
honest enough with himself to recognize that?
