#BREAKING Deutschland blockiert das EU-Klimaziel und riskiert das Pariser Abkommen.

Die Abstimmung zum EU Klimagesetz wird auf den Sankt-Nimmerleinstag verschoben.

Was heute passiert ist, wie es dazu kam und warum es so gefährlich ist: Ein Thread. 🧵

refreshing to read to a piece which does not portray an expected moderate increase in the public pension contribution rate as some kind of catastrophe

Bald scheidet Robert Habeck aus dem Amt. Unter ihm wurde die Windkraft wiederbelebt und die Solarenergie ist explodiert. Sonne und Wind eilen seitdem von Rekord zu Rekord während so wenig Kohle verbrannt wird, wie in den 1950er. Diese Leistung kann man nicht genug würdigen.

Rubio published a report-length rant against shareholder value. I'm pointing this out because it helps understand that this wing of the GOP—which is now in power—has long held an ideological view hostile to liberal/Democratic/public equity finance. 2/2
The decline of business investment and its relation to broader economic decline can be summarized through the key findings in this report. 1. The decline in business investment represents a shift away from the traditional understanding of the role of capitalist businesses. In American capitalism, private business enterprise is the fundamental unit of economic production. Private business has historically provided the dominant source of investment spending in the American economy, and economic productivity has been the outcome of a high-investment private business sector. However corporate business enterprise increasingly does not fulfill this role. For the first time, the nonfinancial corporate business sector now consistently spends more on acquiring financial assets than on capital development. Shareholder primacy theory is a driving cause behind this shift of American business away from the traditional role expected of it in our economy. Rising out of the economic stagnation of the 1970s, shareholder primacy theory refocused corporate management’s understanding of economic value as financial return to shareholders. This theory tilts business decision-making towards returning money quickly and predictably to investors rather than building long-term corporate capabilities, reduces investment in research and innovation, and undervalues American workers’ contribution to production.

Holy shit. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say they’re trying to kill us all.

“The Environmental Protection Agency plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists”

More than 1,000 chemists, biologists and other scientists could be laid off under a plan to dismantle the Office of Research and Development.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.
Who's running this country: MUSK Donald Trump or Elon Musk? Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself. The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your Senators and tell them it's time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk.

I‘m not a trade economist, but interesting considerations.

Trump’s accouncement to fire his first salvo in the new trade war against Mexico and Canada surprised many (including, frankly, me). Yet, economically, it might be less insane than many commentators think.

Germany, seems to be the only country where the upper school attainment has fallen significantly between 2023 and 2016! What’s the reason behind that?

Maybe there is a solution to our low birth rate after all.

There wasn’t room to fit it in the post but you’re right - the research shows this impacts rates of parenthood.

We’re starting to see some specific research on that now. For 20-25 year olds, having a home increases the chance of having a child by 32%.

This week, we released our World Economic Outlook. With growth of 3.0% in 2023 and 2.9% in 2024, the resilience to the shocks of the past few years has been remarkable. Yet growth is slow and uneven, with growing divergences. The global economy is limping along, not sprinting. bit.ly/3PPpm2H
