Inflation tends to be good for poor people, especially those with debts and those who have to work for a living. It reduces the value of the debts, and it goes with shortage of labor, which means you can get a raise.

Thus, the media alarm about inflation may be calculated to serve the interests of the creditor class.

*San Francisco’s progressive district attorney faces recall election.*

* Monitoring of workers and setting performance targets through algorithms is damaging [UK] employees' mental health and needs to be controlled by new legislation.*

I suppose it harms workers in the US, too, but the report is about the UK.

*Cop26 targets too weak to stop disaster, say Paris agreement architects.*

Iran's conditions for resuming the non-nuclear deal: The US must commit to remaining in the deal, and it must ease sanctions in a way that has significant effect. Also, European countries must not allow US sanctions laws to block them from trading with Iran.

These demands seem acceptable to me. It seems absurd for the US to have the power to tell other countries whether they can trade with Iran or not.
