„Aber Euro-Bonds sind auch für Kanzler Merz, darin ganz der Sohn Schäubles, vom Teufel. Es gibt kein ernsthaftes Anzeichen dafür, dass die Bundesregierung ernsthafte Schritte unternimmt, eine weltpolitisch handlungsfähige Europäische Union herbeizuführen.“

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

I don’t have a crystal ball, but I have a good idea how this shutdown ends. Trump and Republicans will cave (he won’t admit he’s caving, of course, but he will cave).
Here’s why: Air traffic controllers.

Would push back here — the collapse in public finances in Ingolstadt is because corporate tax revenues are dwindling, and Ingolstadt is a car city.
Germany losing 50% of its net car exports to China is the culprit, not “the green economic wonder” or some such.

Migrants aren’t the ones killing women. Most femicides are by (ex)partners or men close to them.

To talk about trade in Britain without mentioning the EU is a bit like trying to explain the solar system without mentioning the sun.
