There´s an authoritarian move by Donald Trump to control the Fed.

It´s about time The Economist begins to make proper journalism in its treatment of Donald Trump actions. Anything short of "Erdogan treatment" is whitewashing and this article is way shorter than that. To begin with there is no "spat between the Fed and White House".

Many bad takes about Thucydides could be avoided if the person reading just a small portion of Thucydides stopped to ask, "wait, and then what happened?" while keeping in mind that Thucydides' intended reader already knows the answer to that question.

Cualquiera que apoye a Trump a estas alturas es una mala persona. El problema es que EEUU está lleno de gente así

I’m sure @spignal.bsky.social could explain you that this is a signal of the decadence of Europe.

The Chinese didn’t need to use its weapon till the orange idiot began an economic war. Everybody knew the Chinese would be serious in an open war.

There’s a fatal flaw in how The Economist is covering Donald Trump’s presidency. You find an accurated description of his actions but in no way this actions are call by its name; the one you just have used (a Christian nationalist autocracy)

“Some on the left”. No name. Some semianonimous account on social media. “MAGA-world” the POTUS and his cabinet. “A supposed leftish plot”. No evidence and even no suposicion of a plot. Bootlicking journalism by The Economist

Five reasons the Democrats should remain silent while Trump calls them radical terrorists.

Another piece in which @spignal.bsky.social hate against everything european blinds him to the point of absurdity. Really is a good thing moving at the speed of presidential edicts when US is marching towards authoritarianism precisely that way?

A technology with at this point a negligible impact in total transportation marks european decline but the extensive high speed rail network in Europe but absent in US, counts for nothing. Not even counting european cities public transport networks

A donde siempre estuvieron. O sea, a ninguna parte. Esas cifras son puro teatro para que el idiota naranja las venda pero no son reales. El gobierno surcoreano no puede obligar a sus empresas a meter dinero en los EEUU. Como tampoco puede la UE, por ejemplo

The idea that Europe has to flagelate itself for not being like US even in an area like transportation in which is clearly superior is really curious to agree with.

Alicante-Madrid (in Spain) its a little more than 400 km. Nobody flights anymore because takes 2 hours 20 min. No, the network doesn´t sucks.

If you think OBB is representative of best practice in european high speed rail network you have a problem. Try advance countries like France or Spain, not underdeveloped ones like Austria.

This article is a disgrace for The Economist. The actions and policies that describes are clear and obviously ethnic cleansing but in no moment the words appears in the text. I’d expect from The Economist to call the things what they are.

Well, I don’t think an state that practises ethnic cleansing, war crimes and at this point probably genocidal intent against a portion of the population under its control could be called a democracy. But you are right, for me it’s analogous with apartheid SA.
