No DMs. North SFV Los Angeles gay senior. Former journalist, lifelong union Dem with rescue dog and aversion to bullshit. I am here only to get news and discuss it. If you want to do something else, find someone else. I repost all gift links I see.

Professional forecasters account for the full set of macroeconomic consequences, and economists at Goldman Sachs reckon that U.S. economic growth will be 0.5 percentage points lower as a result of the war. If it takes a couple of years for the economy to return to normal, that slower growth rate would mean around $400 billion in lost income, and Goldman warns it could be nearly twice as bad. Beyond the United States, both the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have marked down their forecasts for the global economy, highlighting much larger effects in other countries. The world’s poor and most vulnerable spend the largest share of their income on food and fuel, so this war will cause millions, perhaps tens of millions, to go hungry. These are not costs borne by the American people, but perhaps they offend the American conscience.

None of the Democrats running for governor come from the Brown dynasty or the Newsom network. One leading candidate, former Representative Katie Porter, grew up on a farm in Iowa. Another, Representative Eric Swalwell, comes from a family of Republicans. The Democratic field includes sons of Mexican immigrants, a daughter of Chinese immigrants and a billionaire who grew up in New York City. There’s also a school superintendent, a surfer who served in the State Legislature and a Silicon Valley mayor raised in a coastal farm town. Delegates at the state Democratic Party convention last weekend in San Francisco suggested that there might be too much democracy in California at the moment.
