UK interest rates hiked to 4%. Average real wage hardly moved since 2008. Inflation caused by profiteering, not wage rises. Millions to hand wealth to banks, boosting their profits. Rich get richer. Govt could have removed excess cash by taxing the rich. Could have curbed rents, energy costs.

The U.S. government’s apparent priority is boosting the Russian economy. Seeing Russia’s war effort weaken, America’s top representatives—that’d be the president’s corrupt son-in-law and corrupt real estate investor friend—try to find ways to help it succeed in exchange for bribes for themselves.

MENAFM (MIDDLE EAST NORTH AFRICA FINANCIAL NEWS) VALUES THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE “STRAMURALES INTERNATIONAL STREET ART FESTIVAL (STORNARA LIFE APS) SOURCE: https://menafn.com/1110917208/Harvard-Journal-Names-Italian-Street-Art-Festival-A-Global-Public-Health-Model?fbclid=IwY2xjawRQDnFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBGT3BrSFk4NGlpeDJvcU1Sc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHh-eN-5smrvQqrFR95cX6u4W5WktUfMVjbM1GKGxdHe3yc_CXSNvBSKV32m1_aem_Y5l03GguzE11JGaB4bh5_Q The renowned economic, financial, and social portal for the Middle East and North Africa has reported on the recent publication by Harvard University’s prestigious Health and Human Rights Journal, which has recognised the Stramurales International Street Art Festival as a global model of public health. Not merely a festival. Not just another cultural event. But an international case study — the first in academic history dedicated to a single street art festival. “The question is not whether art can serve as a public health intervention: Stramurales demonstrates that it can.” So states the study, authored by Luciano Magaldi Sardella and Matteo Mantuano, and published in a journal that carries the legacy of figures such as Jonathan Mann and Paul Farmer. From a small town in the Italian South — Stornara — a model has emerged capable of: reducing social isolation; rekindling a sense of community; boosting tourism, the local economy, and collective confidence; transforming more than 150 walls into an open-air museum speaking of rights, migration, identity, and the future. It is proof that culture is not a luxury, but an essential infrastructure. That art can be a form of care. That participation can alter the destiny of a place. Today, Stornara is not merely celebrating a recognition: it is celebrating a message that travels across Italy and reaches the wider world. When a community imagines together, everything becomes possible.
