Ultimately, UK might need to go through such a period of chaos to swing back to a electorate more able to accept trade offs.

Those guys are going to want to return to their families after a couple of days!

It has been suggested that i pin this piece, but I never actually posted it myself. So 👇

What's the chance of the population actually reducing even in 2025? Deaths are over births already so US is reliant on migration for population growth. Most of previous migration is tied to job growth. US economy is now losing jobs in last two months.

Global renewable power output overtakes coal for the first time, report says Renewable energy sources generated more electricity than coal globally for the first time in the first half of 2025, driven by rapid growth in China and India, a report by think tank Ember showed on Tuesday.

In general, I agree. But those that have committed crimes (every assault by an ICE agent) or actively allowed crimes to happen, don't get a pass without serving their time.

At some point the GDP hit from the shutdown, isn't going to be a rounding error!

And these Oregon Republicans want to be reelected?

NEW: GLOBAL RENEWABLES OVERTAKES COAL

How the heck did that happen so quickly?!...🧵

If Badenoch doesn't believe in government, how can she be trusted with it?

If government fails, we will see higher interest rates. This is the lesson from the Truss budget.

But we don't want to hear that as it must be someone else's fault and tax cuts are universally good!

There was a hubris in Germany that people are unwilling to recognise.

That a tight budget and schwarze null would feed industry to be the best in the world and optimise Germany. To recognise failure would call into question the universal applicability of these policies.

If my amateur ecosia search can be believed, it's because glew was the old form for glue.

So it's already taken as a word and glow lost out?!

The Tariff Exemption Behind the AI Boom Data Centers get Tariff-Free Imports. Why Shouldn't we All?

NEW from me:

In his 2nd term, Trump has pursued the largest trade war in modern US history—with 1 glaring omission. Computer imports are almost entirely exempt from tariffs

It's a special carveout that AI companies are now reliant on for their data center buildout🧵

The ideal state is about 6 months before the last large Minsky Moment!

Journalists in Portland: Try to get photos of gas canisters/munitions, either spent on ground or still carried by DHS. ONLY IF SAFE. Use long lens. Risks unknown, don’t approach.

This green smoke isn’t super common. Raised concerns in 2020. Documenting DHS munitions may help accountability later.

Not sure about this. Value of AI seems overstated. But... I would not fully trust a Chinese or American AI system too much so Europe needs alternatives somehow.

That's amazing if true. Logically, it makes sense.

Fear of change - any change.

I take your point. I imagine that there will be one week where Trump bails out a buddy or Argentina, and in that same week, he'll turn down something significant in a red state.

I am sure there are examples when that hasn't happened, though already.

I feel that I will have a strong desire to visit the USA once Trump is removed from power and things settle down.

Republican states will lose it over Trump before Blue states. When they get screwed over the feeling of betrayal will drive their actions. Blue states will be on the defensive and be focusing on holding it all together.

I do wonder if Trump and his people use this government shutdown to shutdown Congress. Rule would thereafter be by Trump's executive alone.

Have many will follow such orders despite being unconstitutional?

Could we please, please not build a narrative of the inevitability of people like Farage? Why not highlight Farage‘s failures from time to time. He did enormous harm to the uk economy. He failed to get anything on migration. He did enormous harm to uk fisheRies, which was his core ‘competence‘.

Dry cleaners also stuffed. More people working from home leads to less shirts needing dry cleaned. Remaining dry cleaners need to raise prices. Consequently, more decide to iron their own shirts...

Social media usages as a indicator of societal mental health? Good news for Europe and the youth. Bad news for USA.

Have we passed peak social media? As platforms degrade into outrage and slop, users are turning away

Another pressure for China to stop transfers from households to the corporate sector and increase consumption levels!

Trump is reengineering the US economy - one way or another. But with it, he is causing huge political, cultural and economic chaos. Where this ends is unknown.
