Absolutely gross. @anandwrites.bsky.social nails the semiotics of intra-elite back scratching from the Epstein emails. “This is what these powerful people…were thinking and doing —taking care of one another instead of the general welfare — before it got really bad.”

The #ECJ has just released the #minimumwage judgment: only Art. 5(2) and the phrase “provided that the application of that mechanism does not lead to a decrease of the statutory minimum wage” in Art. 5(3) are annulled. The Directive is otherwise upheld: a reading that reinforces social rights. 🇪🇺 #EU

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

So bottom line: the risk for Germany is that if it does not move to shore up car demand, it will face a much higher bill for lost tax receipts, bailouts, unemployment schemes and retraining in a year or two.
The choice here for Berlin is pay now — or pay much more later.

While I agree with much of what Stephen Bush argues here, I think this claim is overly simplistic: "This shouldn’t need saying in 2025 but markets and globalisation are good."

I was happy to see the Franco-German economic counsellors pick up our idea in their latest set of notes for the Chancellor and President Macron.
I can only hope they act on it soon - the prospect of 9 million in Chinese car exports a year, w imports at 1 million, is as big a deal as it sounds.
