They not only allow it. They gave the man a prize.

Great video as always, but it strikes me that - when it comes to Europe - it's usually American economists talking to UK economists about the EU.
Perhaps you could connect with an EU native or someone with EU roots for a different perspective? I would recommend @aphclarkson.bsky.social

Sorry, am I misreading?
'British officials on Monday confirmed the U.S. suspended the deal last week, the FT said, adding that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration was pushing for Britain's concessions in areas of trade outside the tech partnership.'

So yeah, they did the deal and the US turned right around and asked for more concessions.
You said this would happen. Everybody else said this would happen. It happened.

Wat een interessante woordkeuze. 'Nu'? Als in 'Plotseling'?
Boetjagin begon zijn archeologie op de Krim in 2014, direct na de Russische invasie. Hij profiteerde van Putin's misdaden. Hij is een collaborateur. Het echte schandaal is dat hij nog 11 jaar op Europese universiteiten werd uitgenodigd.

Helaas doen ze dat niet. Helaas praten ze rechts-extreme politici naar de mond. Helaas rapporteren ze uitgebreid over Marco Borsato's rechtzaak, maar is EU-politiek 'te saai'.
De journalistiek doet zijn werk niet, maar elke kritiek wordt afgeweerd met 'persvrijheid'.
Respect moet je verdienen.

As you've said yourself, we can't underestimate how weak Maduro's position is. Unseating him may be much easier than anybody expects.
Of course, afterwards they'll want to stay there. They'll send in their companies. And that's when the quagmire starts.

Apologies for being the mood killer, but:
It's nonsense, they know it's nonsense and they know that we know it's nonsense. The point is; if they can get away with using this as a defence, it proves that laws are completely in service of whoever is in power.
That will resonate.

Natuurlijk is het niet gek. Dit is hoe het altijd gegaan is in de geschiedenis van kapitalisme.
Eerst je diensten zo goedkoop mogelijk aanbieden om concurrentie te verwoesten. Daarna je monopoliepositie benutten om de kwaliteit van je produkt te kunnen verminderen maar de winstmarge te verhogen.

I would say that it is rather heartening that we can judge people as populist con-artists by the content of their character, not their gender, religion or the color of their skin.
Truly, humanity can come together in recognizing that this guy is a race-baiting, gaslighting grifter.

But, clearly, the implication of the press release that the people leaving are white while the people coming in are brown.
It's all very logical if you're a racist.
