The Energy Utilities

In Australia, on the political front, we have very little in the way of progressive or Leftist policy options. It is rather the choice of how far Right. Traditionally centrist positions have been favoured by most voters, usually Centre Right. The LNP Coalition has, over recent years, moved further Right in thrall to populist demagogues like Donald Trump. Neoliberalism via privatization has seen many previously publicly owned assets move into private hands. The energy utilities are an illustrative example of this, where numerous private companies operate within this sector, either generating, wholesaling or retailing energy. Despite promises to the contrary prices for energy have not come down. Those greater efficiencies have not materialised.

5 Reasons Why Donald Trump Is Wrecking The Global Economy

Here are 5 reasons why Donald Trump is wrecking the global economy. The US has ruled the roost economically since WW2 and detrimental things that happen there negatively impact upon the world economy too. More than a million jobs have been lost in the US since Trump took over at the beginning of 2025. The labour market has been hit hard from tariffs and DOGE cuts shedding jobs. Things are in the doldrums in America and stagflation may well be on the horizon. Messing with the economy, as the Trump regime has, is having multiple effects.

The Trump Regime

The Trump regime is attacking boats from Venezuela, blowing them up in international waters. Why this focus on a South American nation? Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves. The US has a great tradition of going after countries with lots of oil and administrations that don’t bend over backwards for them. Donald Trump is a firm believer in fossil fuels. His administration has already reversed much of the good work that was done under Joe Biden, when it came to renewables and the transition away from climate damaging fossil fuels. Trump is the ultimate head in the sand guy, when it comes to global warming.

Episode 19: Prince Andrew & The P Words - Robert Sudha Hamilton's Podcast

Prince Andrew & The P WordsPlus The Americanization Of AustraliaFor those of us who have long observed the United States it has been apparent that their justice system is heavily tainted by partisanship and the power of the wealthy to avoid it. Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficked young girls for decades to the rich and famous and, yet no client has ever been held accountable for any crime. We are witnessing Prince Andrew getting his knuckles rapped by his royal family for bringing them into disrepute via his behaviour in the Epstein scandal over many years. American billionaires, meanwhile, face no such wrath from the Trump administration. Funny that, perhaps, it has to do with the cosy friendship that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein enjoyed for 25 years prior to Epstein’s suspicious death in prison. Prince Andrew and the P words that cost him his title. Oh how the mighty have fallen! Perhaps, true justice does come to all in the end? It will be interesting to see if this royal fall from grace will deliver any other Epstein perpetrators to justice. In reality, it has only been British aristocrats to pay any kind of price as yet.

Elon Musk’s ten-year $1 trillion pay package is worth more than the combined pay of:

Every elementary school teacher in America.
Every cashier in America.
Every restaurant cook in America.
Every farmworker in America.
Every bartender in America.

Insanity. Billionaire tax now.

One of the strongest impressions I came away with after watching the opening episode of Ken Burn’s American Revolution was the parallels with where the United States finds itself now...

Sussan Ley, Paul Murray, Peta Credlin and others, off to Lachlan Murdoch’s mansion.

These HYPOCRITES scream about “left wing elites”.

THEY ARE THE FUCKING ELITES!
