oirs, no of'shops' (and subsequently staff) is ridiculous seen the way things are done at present etc).
How to attack this issue (or a lotof similar issues) effectively.
Now it is basically done via specialised non mass media in a rather academic way and getting the pressure off during that process. While the other side is working effectively via lobbyist into the other direction.
1. Politicians main objective is to be reelected. They might get away with minor stuff which is forgotten at election time but no at the end of the day with the larger longer taking issues.
Look at EU; look at immigration if traditional parties donot react new kids on the block will arise (aka as populists).
The issues are very important for large groups of voters and permanently in the news. If the traditional parties donot react and pay attention somebody will jump in that (marketing)hole.
So to get this solved it would have to be an issue of the same or slightly less magnitude as immigration or the EU/Euro.
The issue is however very technical and complicated to get mass attantion it needs to be simplified and related to the economy (and via that way to people's wallet).
2. To appeal to the masses it has to be simplified so people understand it and the way if affect them (and their wallets).
At the end of the day the subsidy could otherwise have been used for Granny Johnson's medication, schoolfees for Mr and Mrs Peterson's kids. That kind of stuff.
Make it personal and make it an own wallet issue.
3. Keep the pressure on especially close to electiontime.
4. Come up with a total plan not just a rough idea. Not for the general public btw. But politics are clearly simply not able to do that themselves. One of the reasons at present the sector is winning on a lot of fronts.
5. Look at the Krugman example.  It is of course important to keep your own supporters awake and informed. However the main mistake it is completely usueless if you have only 40% and do that in a way that pulls the other 60% off. You need 51%. In a nutshell Krugman's standard mistake.
At the end of the day it is not about media attention (Krugman does very well) it is about getting things done your way (Krugman is probably counterproductive).
Go for the groups that can make the difference and bring you to 51%. Otherwise it is practically useless. A nice academic exercise without any practical result.
And adjust the way you communicate to those groups to make it effective. An organic soybean munching lefty is not really a great presentor if you need social conservative groups for support. And the other way around.
But especially the 70s and 80s style lefties are in the firing line in general at the moment. They are the personification what a lot of potential populist voters (and a lot of others) see as what is wrong in today's society.
6. Politicians usually move when there is something to gain. Make it an interesting proposition for them (and do most of their work).
Same with media. These havenot seen this as a major news item as it is way too technical (and they themselves donot grasp it).
"There is one simple explanation. The power of the banking lobby" - I was enjoying this post (hey it confirmed my pre-existing views, so shoot me) up until it said that because its such a rotten explanation not least because it potentially encourages a distracting sideshow focus on better lobbying legislation.
Rather than viewing things in terms of bad bankers vs government or us or regulators, a better explanation stems from taking a class based approach, specifically that of the British ruling class.
Practically, big banks are stuffed full of private school then Oxbridge educated(the good Prof will know this first hand, so should presumably have an opinion here) members of the ruling class intent on making the big moolah for themselves (with occasional references to "trickle down" being used to explain how this is actually for the greater good). So again don't do anything to mess with their bonuses.
And then you look at the post government careers of politicians, regulators, civil servants and what not where they build up nifty portfolios of special advisor-ships here, senior positions there and directorships allova the place - in the financial services sector!
So does the immense power of the banking lobby explain things? No, of course it doesn't because for the most part they're pushing at open doors. What does provide a much better explanation is the pre-existing beliefs of the ruling class and its own sheer self-interest. Simples.
Harley-Davidson – The Legend Evolves
From filming foxy grey eye makeup tutorials on YouTube, to being recognised as the beauty between the “beasts”, the gorgeous Maya Mia has become renowned as an ambassador for the Harley-Davidson brand in South Africa. We all recognise the throaty roar of these particular beasts, a sound on which many a dream of the open road, big sky and freedom has been built. Adding Maya to the mix just makes the fantasy so much sweeter.
The story of Harley-Davidson is a classic American tale of spirit, invention and the right idea being brought to fruition at the right time. From its beginning in a small Milwaukee shed in 1903, William Harley and his cousins, the Davidson brothers, set in motion what would eventually become the world’s most iconic motorcycle company.
This legendary American motorcycle brand stood through World War I, World War II and the Great Depression and is bringing its vision into the future with range of electric motorcycles, starting with a lightweight EV concept scooter designed for easy urban riding and the LiveWire® – a middleweight EV concept that bridges Harley-Davidson’s EV tech to their rich history and the legendary XR750.
The current Harley-Davidson range of motorbikes fall into four main categories: Street, Cruiser, Touring and Trike.
As the name implies, Street bikes are built to shred city streets. They are sleek and nimble, with an authentic urban attitude.
Cruisers are made for cruising country roads, where pure Harley heritage meets modern technology for power, style and an unadulterated riding experience.
Touring bikes are designed for the long haul. Immerse yourself in the most epic journey of discovery possible.
The Harley-Davidson Trike range is made for comfort. Ride with confidence. Turn heads with custom style.
Customisation of your Harley is what it’s all about. The ultimate personalisation of your ride.
Of course you can’t stop there. Every self-respecting Harley owner (and every diehard fan) has a closet full of Harley-Davidson’s Motorclothes® – accessories and gear to match your mean machine.
The factory-sponsored Harley Owners Group® (commonly referred to as HOG) is a global organization and the largest of its kind in the world. Harley owners get to share their experiences, their unique culture and their love for the iconic H-D.
Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Harley-Davidson Johannesburg was forced to close its doors after 24 years. The good news is that Harley has quite a number of other stores around South Africa. Visit to locate them.The one weekend only play sold out all three shows and ended with a question and answer session. It was performed by Sundeep Morrison at the Broadway Theater in Milwaukee.
What should have been a fun event for a Vancouver woman and her two cousins catching a Mariners game at Seattle's T-Mobile Park over the weekend has prompted a call for better security training.

Tasty, the smoke and the spice are great together.
Vanilla on the nose, sweet fruit notes, caramel, oak and a nice spicy note, some nutmeg.
Strong in the mouth, black pepper, sweet notes and tart oak. Tendency sweet with a harsh balance.
Spices. Black pepper, sweetish fruit notes, some smoke from the barrel.
Pleasantly grotesque mix from bourbon and Islay notes. 84/85.
Vanilla, caramel, smoke, tobacco, spices and hazelnuts.
Spices, smoke, bourbon, caramel and vanilla.
is pleasant to drink, super integrated alcohol, pleasant spiciness.
with a lot of imagination you will find a very small amount of smoke, otherwise it is balanced and not as vanilla and caramel-like as a good average bourbon. The alcohol is very well integrated.
There is a bit of a refill keg left in the wood, the spice dries up.
Not what you would expect from a Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Different, but not better. Should have tasted, if you have a good portion of real Americans behind.
One of the best American Whiskeys that I tasted recently.I find it enjoyable and enlightening.
Sweet, powerful, spirituous and extremely nutty at first nosing - truckloads of fresh hazelnuts, pecans and roasted chestnuts. Notes of tobacco and shoe polish, roast lamb (slightly burnt), cranberries and Chateauneuf du Pape are coming up.
Powerful, acrid and spirituous at first mouthfeel. Spicy with smoke, ashes and lots of nutmeg, Burnt toffee and sour red wine.
Very long and spicy, dry, slightly harsh with nutmegs in the aftertaste.
