Yes, the monarchy is absurd. So why can’t I quit King Charles?

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:18:02 GMT

For several years, my tactic for navigating debates about the tedious younger members of Britain’s royal family (Did you see the Harry interview? Isn’t William awful?) has been to align myself with their dad.I’m not interested in being pro-this kid or anti-that kid. I’m pro-Charles.That stance usually draws a puzzled reaction, and reasonably so. Who in the United States feels enthusiasm for the new king? Americans who care about him usually dislike him. Far more people are focused on the War of the Sussexes.The funny thing is, I mostly mean it.The monarchy is a silly institution, no matter how hard Netflix tries to convince Americans that it performs a vital social function. But if Britain is determined to invest this web of dysfunctional personalities with quasi-spiritual meaning, then surely it’s better to have a monarch who also cares about some issues that matter.In Charles there is a king who cares deeply about climate change, the most important political issue of our time.

Pattern Change In Sight!

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:18:02 GMT

Sight for sore eyes? Or a sore sight to see? Depends on what timeframe I suppose. This morning, we start off murky once again as the damp, drizzly, dreary and cool weather continues. That won’t change much through the morning commute. 17 of the last 20 days in Boston have been in the 50s with the other 3 days between 60-64. Today, we’ll make it 18 for 21 with highs stuck into the 50s. Blah! Now, with that said, there’s some optimism out there this afternoon. Clouds will breaks of some sunshine mid to late afternoon and temps won’t be as chilly as yesterday. Highs max out in the lower 50s at the coast, but run up into the mid 50s to 60 across the interior. We’ll dry out for those little league games tonight and with skies breaking for some sun, a drier pattern commences. Saturday and Sunday look fantastic as high pressure builds in and a pleasant northwesterly breeze kicks in. Temps jump to near 70 for back to back days as sunny to partly cloudy skies w...

April jobs report may point to US labor market’s resilience

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:18:02 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Month after month, the nation’s job market has stood its ground against howling headwinds — rising interest rates, chronic inflation, major bank failures and economic uncertainties across the world.Hiring has gradually slowed, along with pay growth and job openings. Yet by historical standards, the labor market has remained surprisingly strong, with an unemployment rate still hovering near half-century lows.When the Labor Department issues the April jobs report Friday morning, it’s expected to show that the trend has continued: Forecasters surveyed by the data firm FactSet predict that employers added 182,000 jobs last month. Though that would be well off the whopping 472,000 jobs that were added in January, the 326,000 in February and the 236,000 in March, it would still be a respectable gain that would show that many employers still need to fill jobs.The unemployment rate is thought to have edged up to 3.6%, only slightly above a 54-year low of 3.4% s...

Massachusetts Senate on budget hot seat

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:18:02 GMT

Senate budget writers who have the next shot at crafting the 2024 state budget say their outlook remains on track despite a massive shortfall in revenues reported in April, which is typically the most significant revenue month of the year.A one-month reversal of Massachusetts’ strong tax figures hit hard on Beacon Hill Wednesday when state officials reported collections for April came in nearly $1.5 billion below original projections for the month and $2.2 billion under collections from the same time last year.But the Senate’s chief budget writer said his chamber has been planning for a decline in revenues given recent forecasts and economic volatility.The Senate has “deliberately been cautious in our spending and revenue projections,” said Michael Rodrigues, a Westport Democrat who heads up the Senate Ways and Means Committee.“While we must be fiscally prudent moving forward, our actions thus far have put us in a strong position as we face this uncertainty,” he said in a statement....

I hope it will be okay soon. I hope.”Chernyakova is in line to work as a teacher at Temple Beth Shalom i...
