America on its knees: Unemployment soars to 3.3million after three MILLION new claims are filed in just one week – four times the 1982 record – as coronavirus cripples the economy
'This isn't something that's wrong with the economy. This is a situation where people are being asked to step back from economic activity, close their businesses, stay home from work so in principle, if we get the virus spread under control fairly quickly then economic activity can resume. And we want to make that rebound as vigorous as possible.' … [Read more...] about America on its knees: Unemployment soars to 3.3million after three MILLION new claims are filed in just one week – four times the 1982 record – as coronavirus cripples the economy

Bring out the cardies and cocktails – it’s time we celebrated Dallowday
Woolf mocked such gendered stereotypes in A Room of One’s Own: “This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in the drawing room.” In Mrs Dalloway, her aims were significant and large, well beyond the superficial concerns of the drawing room. She aspired to “give life & death, sanity & insanity; I want to criticise the social system, & show it at work, at its most intense”. She succeeded, creating an influential novel that is a study of aging and change, but also a radiant tribute to survival and joy, to “life; London; this moment of June”. Nonetheless, some critics have dismissed Woolf. That was certainly the message I received when I first studied Mrs Dalloway as an undergraduate in the 1960s: “VW: more intellectually limited than James Joyce,” my lecture notes read.

Let’s face it, we all judge each other’s relationships
But to express such views, these days, is to risk being found guilty of the modern sin of Judging Other People’s Relationships – something we’re reminded, in article after article, that we definitely shouldn’t do. (In social media lingo, it’s a form of “policing”, which is always bad, unless you’re the one accusing others of doing it; policing-policing is apparently fine.) The notion that the private lives of others are none of our business, though it would have baffled people at most points in history, is unquestionable in ordinary contexts today. The thought that I might harbour an opinion about your decision to have or not have kids, the age difference in your relationship, or your open marriage, seems faintly scandalous. Which is weird, because the truth is that everyone’s judging everyone else’s relationships all the time. … [Read more...] about Let’s face it, we all judge each other’s relationships
