Hard to see Tesla numbers recovering in Europe. Predictable outcome if you make a product designed to appeal to people you despise and who despise you.

Just goes to show how they can easily come up with reasoning to support universal basic income when they want to. Yes, UBI is a dividend for shareholders. As citizens, we are all shareholders.
Also, we ALL created the capital that AI is trained on. We should all be paid a GDP dividend EVERY MONTH.

According to the European Commission, France and Austria will have among the most restrictive fiscal stances in 2026 (largest contraction in Romania). In countries like Italy and Poland, EU funds (RRF) will still offset national consolidation efforts, but only until 2027.

1/ What a Russian breaking of the ceasefire will look like, step by step.
There are far better experts on this, but I was an Australian diplomat in Ukraine in 2014 so I've seen this play out up close.
So join me, brothers and sisters, as we count down to a fullscale re-invasion.
