The thing about Europe: itโ€™s the actual land of the free now Europeโ€™s very real problems donโ€™t 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

Man kann nicht immer auf Estland als Vorbild in Sachen Digitalisierung verweisen ohne auch die 2.7-fachen รถffentlichen Investitionen (vgl. DEU) zu erwรคhnen.

Great suggestion here on using legend for histograms. Requires clarification on whether itโ€™s discrete count (# of countries) or capita.

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 โ€˜distributional 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.

Would it be possible to issue a pardon that only insulates Hunter Biden from future investigations but NOT from the sentencing in the cases in which he has already been convicted?
