The thing about Europe: itโs the actual land of the free now
Europeโs very real problems donโt look so bad by comparison
The thing about Europe is it doesn't invest enough in defence. But nor does it joke about invading neighbours.
The thing about Europe is its economy is ailing. But Europeans have no concept of "medical bankruptcy".
My take this week on the truly free continent

Differences in consumption patterns between lower- and higher-income households suggest the potential for inflation inequality, but evidence on the scale and drivers of this disparity remains scarce. This column uses โdistributional consumer price indicesโ to reveal a clear and systematic gap in inflation rates across income percentiles in the US, reflecting the varying consumption patterns of households at different income levels. The findings suggest that a substantial number of individuals considered above the poverty line based on the official Consumer Price Index actually fall below it due to different inflation dynamics, and may be missing out on poverty alleviation programmes.
