Well done Spain. This should be EU-wide. A first (but hopefully not last) signal to the tech bros that their dystopian vision has no place in Europe

Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Claudia Bothe und Alexander Wulfers, hat die belgische Studie mit deutschen Zahlen repliziert. Sehr beeindruckende Ergebnisse und Karten. Must read.

Warum in Deutschland Ungleichheit bei Bildung und Gesundheit besteht
Je mehr der Staat organisiert, umso besser für die Armen: So heißt es oft. Doch Bildung und Gesundheit zeigen: Staatliche Angebote sind oft dort, wo es den Leuten sowieso gut geht.

, denn diese werden eher in der Nähe von Reichen Vierteln anstatt von Armen Vierteln zur Verfügung gestellt. Im Endeffekt erleichtert das den Zugang für eher Wohlhabende - und Arbeiterkinder haben höhere Barrieren, um z.B. in ein Gymnasium zu gehen.

Eine sehr interessante Studie meiner @ulbruxelles.bsky.social Kollegen Micael Castanheira, Giovanni Paolo Mariani und Clemence Tricaud. Sie zeigen, dass bei der Bereitstellung vieler öffentlicher Güter wie zB guter Schulen und Krankenhäuser die Ungleichheit eher erhöht wird

First investigate and negotiate to give time for a climb down. But if needed, focus it on sectors where you can quickly substitute with domestic production. And design a strategy to help sectors exporting to the US that will be hit by trade war escalation.

But if history teaches us one thing, it is that you should not give in to coercion and agression. Appeasement does not secure freedom and democracy. Activating the Anti-Coercion Instrument is the right step. How to apply it?

The EU cannot accept being coerced into selling Greenland. As the narcisist power grab of President Trump expands, it is important to say no. US lawmakers are being more vocal and so are European lawmakers and countries. Will Europe have to pay a price? - yes.
