Led by pub mogul and family patriarch Charlie, the family have amassed a catalogue of some of Ireland's biggest public houses. But now a late-night incident in a hotel bar involving two of his children has put the Chawke name into the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

12 - The ideological scam gouging Australian drivers by Australian Citizens Party

Did the recent Texas elections actually do anything to lower property taxes? Short answer: not yet. Todd breaks down what just happened in the latest elections and what it really means for homeowners in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. There's been a lot of conversation (and frustration) around rising property taxes across Texas, especially as home values have increased over the past several years. So naturally, a lot of people are asking:

Amid rising fuel prices, the Victorian government has announced new anti-price gouging laws requiring petrol stations to set their maximum fuel prices the night before and display them publicly. While the government says the move will help motorists compare prices and avoid multiple price surges within a single day, some in the industry told SBS Punjabi that price fluctuations are also driven by consumer panic and uncertainty around oil supplies. Will the new rule bring relief to customers?

   Who even knew T-Mobile still had 3500 employees at 119th and Nall in Overland Park at what used to be the Sprint Campus?  Well, the Royals now  controll it all and T-Mobile says the owners are not allowing T-Mobile to stay after their lease expires in 2029.  We all know what that means.    Trump's talking affordability as drivers line up around the country for really, really cheap gas.    The J6 bomber, Brian Cole Jr, is a bit of a gender twisted man as he spent hours and hours online as a "Brony."  You won't believe what this is.    Consumers complain Instacart is gouging them, I have a solution for them.    The Royals get a rare off season win in the draft lottery as the draw for position moved the team up 10 spots in the draft.  What a gift!   Philip Rivers is back as he signs on to the practice squad for the Colts.  Oregon's QB is threatening to not play in the college playoff first round game.  Big 12 commish  Brett Yormark blasts the AD at Notre Dame.  Troy Aikman cuts off UCLA and Bill Self names his MVP so far this season.   Our Final Final is what Amelia Earhart's mom thought happened to her daughter in 1937.

Andy and Brendan return with a mega-episode to kick off a big weekend in sports! Andy is especially excited about his trip to the Walker Cup at Cypress Point and previews some players to watch in the 50th playing of the competition. The two discuss golf's resurgence in popularity, using Sergio Garcia's decision to skip the Irish Open to play with tennis star Carlos Alcaraz as a prime example. After a lengthy Walker Cup discussion and an all-time story from a trip to Cypress, Andy and Brendan dive in on the first round of the Irish Open. Rory McIlroy found himself on the clock on Thursday and was quite upset, but not as upset as Pablo Larrazabal was at Marco Penge missing out on the Ryder Cup team. Larrazabal's tweet is a perfect transition into some Ryder Cup commercialization news on a slow week in golf. PJ is appalled that there will be an outdoor takeover of Rockefeller Center for Ryder Cup weekend and Brendan shares details of some very expensive "at-home" kits for those watching on TV. Following the Ryder Cup, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will lead another set of teams at the "Golf Channel Games" in December. Andy is already excited for the potential of some takes surrounding any pro's performance in this made-for-TV exhibition. In a follow up from the legendary "Dunky" on Monday's episode, Andy shares another Walker Cup crime file - with this former player ending up absolved of any wrongdoing. To wrap things up, there's some brief NFL chatter before we send it to an old Flashback Friday segment from 2019 on the first-ever Walker Cup.

“I've got thosePayday-FridayGrocery store blues.”That working-class-lament is from an old bluegrass song, but millions of working stiffs are singing it today. While many workers have finally seen an uptick in their paychecks, they've been dismayed to see the increase quickly gobbled up by jacked-up grocery prices. What the hell?Kamala Harris has had the honesty to call it what it is: Gouging. And, to put some bite in her bark, she's proposing a long-overdue, national ban on rip-off pricing by food giants. Of course, this produced outraged squeals by corporate functionaries. But some of the most furious squealing is coming from a supposedly unbiased corner of America's economic structure: Economists.A little-known secret of this occult profession is that most economists are schooled by and working for the corporate order, generally hostile to consumers, workers and other competing interests. One absolute rule they learn is that NONE of the inequities and iniquities of America's laissez-fairyland economy are to be blamed on corporate greed.Thus, a whole pack of mainline economists raced to poo-pooh Harris' price-gouging charge, asserting that grocery prices have naturally surged due to what they benignly call “price pack architecture.”Bovine excrement! Price gouging cannot be perfumed by semantics – it is mass swindling, and people can detect it by its stench. So, let's follow that stench to its anti-free enterprise source: Monopoly. For the past half century, economists in both Republican and Democratic administrations have looked the other way, allowing food giants to consolidate and conglomerate, shut out competitors, monopolize every aspect of the food economy… and steal.It's that theft that Harris is daring to challenge, and Americans will cheer her on – no matter how furiously establishment economists squeal.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

With the release of July's consumer price index this week, the Inside Economics team discusses the current state of U.S. inflation. As they dig into the underlying details, they debate what they see as root causes. Specifically – are corporations taking advantage of consumers by keeping prices higher than they should? If so, are recent policy proposals to address ‘price gouging' likely to be effective? Hosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X' @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn

Mike talks about Vice President Harris' economic plan to put price controls on grocery stores.

We should pay attention to corporate America’s fluctuating wordplay, for their frequent contortions of language disguise ploys to dupe, confuse, and rip off us hoi polloi – i.e., their customers. For example, here’s a mouthful that’s been gaining popularity among manufacturers of food products:

We should pay attention to corporate America's fluctuating wordplay, for their frequent contortions of language disguise ploys to dupe, confuse, and rip off us hoi polloi – i.e., their customers.For example, here's a mouthful that's been gaining popularity among manufacturers of food products: Price Pack Architecture. It's a bit of gobbledygook meant to obscure the profiteering practice of – shhhh – ever so quietly shrinking the size and contents of their packages – without lowering prices. Economists dubbed this “shrinkflation,” but that too clearly implied gouging. Thus, corporate image-makers invented the incomprehensible nonsense phrase of PPA to cloak their anti-consumer trickery.This convoluted codeword also allows the tricksters to brag openly about their cleverness to their Wall Street investors. Here's Coca-Cola's CEO, for example, doing corporate-speak to bankers in February: “We are leveraging our revenue growth management capabilities to tailor our offerings and price pack architecture to meet consumers' evolving needs.”English translation: Consumers will need to pay us more for less Coke. You could almost hear the bankers weep for joy over Coke's sneaky scheme to stiff its customers.Perhaps you've wondered what big-time corporate CEOs actually do to rake in their exorbitant salaries, now averaging more than $8,000 an hour! Well, there it is: The CEO's main job is to keep workers' pay low, monopolize markets, and constantly invent slick ways to squeeze another dime from each consumer's pocket.It's not honest work, but it does pay well. Coca-Cola's CEO James Quincey, for example, hauled in $25 million in pay last year. That's 1,800 times more than the annual income of the typical Coca-Cola worker, who'll now pay more for a sip of Coke, thanks to Quincey's “price pack architecture.”Photo courtesy Alley of Ashes on Flickr.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.
