Which economy is more productive - Germany or the US? It seems the answer would be clear, but it's not.
The mood in Germany is so deeply negative, even aggressively pessimistic, that I thought we had fallen behind by a lot. But here are the facts - they surprised me as well:

Your promise to prosecute rich & powerful men who were at Epstein's rape island would be more credible if you stop breaking Rep. Thomas Massie & my law.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES: During one of Doe's encounters with Epstein, he took her to Mar-a-Lago where he introduced her to its owner, Donald J. Trump. Introducing 14-year-old Doe to Donald J. Trump,... 1/2

One of girls Epstein abused claims that Epstein introduced her to Trump at Mar-a-Lago when she was 14:
“Epstein elbowed Trump playfully asking him, referring to Doe, "This is a good one, right?" Trump smiled and nodded in agreement. They both chuckled.”

"One [victim] said that she was brought to Mar-a-Lago by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14, and Epstein kind of nudged Trump and said, 'this is a nice one, right?' If two grown men are staying there with a 14-year-old, what message can you take from that? That's a question for Trump to answer."

If more right wing extremist governments get elected in Europe, security guarantees for Ukraine will mean very little. Security guarantors and Russia should probably have to put material and or money in escrow, since they cannot be trusted to keep their promises.

The flood of German transshipments to Russia continues unabated. It's been over three years of this now and this stuff is just deeply shameful. The new government needs to make a decisive break from the past and shut these transshipments down. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Today. No more excuses...

Almost surely none of this is real. This is multinationals using inflated transfer prices to make profits appear in low-tax Ireland. Trump's EU trade war is stupid on many levels, but the fact that it's based in part on an accounting fiction is the cherry on top

One thing I haven't seen pointed out, although someone must have said it, is that much of the reported EU surplus is probably a fiction driven by tax avoidance. Ireland supposedly exports 6 times as much to America as it imports; it's 3 percent of EU GDP but accounts for 1/3 the trade imbalance

Europe should react below the tariff radar. Slowly increase tariffs on a random schedule so the news never gets mentioned to the mad king. Once he does get told about it, it would seem like old info. That could lead to a slightly more rational response.

By combining income from tariffs with the threat of sanctions on oil and gas sales, the U.S. can make money while pressuring Russia to end its war in Ukraine.

If the US now supports dictatorship and Imperial Conquest the people of the world must unite in support of freedom, democracy and lasting peace.

However... the fact that we don't see what's going right, also means that we fall for the cynical misinformation of populists like Trump, and are willing to destroy everything we build, in order to restore an imagined past that never was.
