It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US

This view is wrong

Unfortunately, it seems like the value of this was not obvious to people in America. Just another case of “oh, that’s what that was for” in the weeks ahead

Just let the crazies talk. They live off the attention of sane people. We should treat them for what they are: Loonies from the insane asylum.

You'll go mad if you pay too much attention to mad men.

Time has come for Europe to let the American boat go its course. Ignore it for a good while (while keeping an eye on it), while taking care of ourselves and our friends.

Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; they’re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canada’s sovereignty and economy and they’re all justifiably furious

In a world of widespread nuclear proliferation, what happens to American military power? Offensively, it will simply dilute and run the risk of disappearing. Imagine such a world.

Just making sure everyone saw what the former Social Security Administrator told CNBC on Saturday...

This is all lies. Reporting has made clear that
- Food and health spending is still paused, or contracts have been cancelled entirely (e.g. Ready-to-use therapeutic food for starving children)
- Money owed for work done during Biden still hasn't gone out
- Musk's people are the blockers

At some point, America is going to decide to test if Trump is going to put troops on the streets and if the military will follow his orders to do so.

Is this the maga solution to end the climate crisis?

4. Nationalize Tesla, SpaceX, Google for starters

5. Life imprisonment for bush, cheney, john yoo, james clapper, trump, and musk for starters

6. Re-education programs for MAGA, including forced labor for coup participants

7. Trains. Lots of trains

What if trump aimed to devalue US wages by 20 to 30%, to make the country's manufacturing competitive? What if it rains to compete with China in the long run? Who will States companies sell to after the trade war backlash closes markets to their products?

The US lives in a world of delusions. In policy, socially, in business. LLMs are a giant toy without serious business use cases, as it is not good enough. It is shocking to watch this.

It could not be more obvious that we elected a Russian asset but if there’s still any question after this, or if news outlets are still not stating it outright, I’m not even sure what to say.
