*Albanese's second term ... Has the Labor government improved people's lives*

USA: "F.D.A. Blocked Publication of Research Finding Covid and Shingles Vaccines Were Safe"
"The withdrawal of the studies is the latest step by the administration to try to limit access to vaccines. It has sharply cut research funding for vaccine development, released unvetted information casting doubt on vaccines, and blocked other information supporting their safety"

On the 9th of April, 1723, the mayor of Leipzig, and head of the city council Abraham Platz wrote the following about the person he just hired for the position of Music Director at St Thomas's Church:
"Da man nun de besten nicht bekommen könne, musse man mittlere nehman."
Roughly translated from German: "Since the best (candidates) cannot be obtained, I suppose we will have to make due with the mediocre one."
The "mediocre" candidate Councilor Platz was speaking about, the person who was their third choice hire behind Telemann and Graupner, was none other than J.S. Bach, possibly the greatest writer of western classical music who ever lived.
Remember this the next time someone in a position of authority tries to diminish you or the quality of your work. Sometimes people in power don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
"The political earthquake that #Hungary experienced on Monday, when the party opposing #Orbán won two-thirds of the seats in Parliament, was unimaginable a year and a half ago, but there had been smaller, almost imperceptible rumblings of the kind that usually portend profound political change. Across rural Hungary—the source of Orbán’s base—small civic groups were forming in places where civil society had all but disappeared."
