"There is one by-product [of Orbán's defeat] that’s truly been a puzzlement. Across the media landscape, the chattering class has assayed the election and made what is—to it, anyway—a fresh discovery: What if political corruption is bad? And what if campaigning against corruption is a winning issue?"

It is a fascinating insight into the mind of Donald Trump, standing there strangely bereft of emotion and awkward as a visitor collapses and others rush to his aid. Has Harnik captured a perfect image showing Trump's dementia?
George MonbiotClaims and ideas which happen to favour the ruling class don't dominate public life by accident.

Once they've been drummed into our ears enough, they're internalised as "common sense".

You know what, I'm trying to comment on this but I just can't think of anything funnier to say than how this is sure to turn out
The reality of conservative, right wing government is this: in each case, they have moved money and power from the public good to crony capitalism's good. Right wing grifting instead of public benefit policies. It's that simple, the right is grift, the left is public good. The more obvious the corruption the likelier people are to rise up against it.

Wow.
In addition to this, apparently farm yields INCREASE if you mix ground-dwelling crops with overhead PV panels, which provide shade/humidity traps for the plants and livestock.
