Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:
#Europe will suffer one way or another, but we have options. Do we want to draw a line in the sand, deploy the #tradebazooka and carry the pain of the blowback with pride and dignity? Or do we yield, let ourselves be divided, conquered and betray ourselves and the world in a way we'll dearly regret?

We have no more time to lose.
The European Union does not cut it, we are overdue for the #European #Federation! The European community can be a force to be reckoned with if we simply let ourselves. The US wont remain a superpower and in its ashes we can rise to fulfill the promises they never could.

I can only recommend my fellow #EU and #EUsky consider how they can free themselves of the digital yoke of the US. Over the past 5-10 years I have left Windows, PayPal, Netflix, Discord, Instagram, WhatsApp, now Spotify. While never joining Google, FB, Microslop.
First step is always the hardest.

Finally ditched one of the last intrusions into my digital privacy with #spotify. How does one replace it? I have been building a #homelab server, streaming my content via jellyfin, all legally obtainable via EU drm-free store Qobuz.
I can only recommend others do the same and ditch US tech. #EUsky

Go play some Wolfenstein and ask yourself, if this was the real world, would that be worth mourning? Poor Frau Engel, the intolerant left just can not control itself.

In recent years investing has become more widespread, but the ones with decimals are still the geriatric oligarchs.
Facts dont care about your feelings but the stock market does.
What would the decimal-holders do with their shares if they read about MCs fuckup in investing news? ;)

I wonder. Mastercard is publically traded. Did Mastercard violate fiduciary responsibility? Wielding their power as payment processor for ideological purposes or complying with a brand-unsafe org like CS, I'd argue, speaks to MC c-suiters forgetting what they are in the business for. Just a thought.

Palantir - as part of secret police contracts creating a “real-time data-sharing network”- is compiling the sexual orientation and the sex life of all people who live in the UK.
Discovery of things like this should result in the collapse of a sitting government followed by an election.
