JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warns Europe is falling dangerously behind America economically… and blames anti-business, anti-investment, and anti-innovation policies. 🇺🇸🇪🇺
“If you don’t believe me, go to Europe, folks. Europe used to have a GDP per person of 90% of America’s. It’s now 65%. It’s on its way to 50%.
That will jeopardize the health of Europe itself over time.
And it’s all anti-business, anti-investment, anti-innovation. They kind of know it.
If they don’t fix it—and we should help them fix it, because Europe matters—it’s really bad for the Western world, too.
We should do it wisely.”
Europe shift over the past three decades has proven decimating for their economy. Aging population forces mass immigration in order to maintain adequate growth. Crazy regulation and bureaucracy slows innovation and investment… forcing the economy further down. At the same time, the United States has pulled ahead exponentially and will continue to do so. Europe is struggling.

Good Morning from Germany, where one of Europe’s biggest landlords calls the country “uninvestable.” Heimstaden is withholding fresh capital over Berlin’s expropriation plans. It owns 20,000 apartments in the city worth ~€5bn and estimates a potential €1bn loss. Its hybrid bond has plunged from ~98 cents in August to 82.5. The irony: a policy meant to tackle the housing shortage risks driving away investment without building a single new home. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"Humanitarian" ei ole "humanist." "Humanitarian" on inimeste kannatuste leevendamisele ning elu ja väärikuse kaitsmisele ressurssi suunav isik (eriti sõdade, katastroofide ja kriiside kontekstis).
Seega väljaöeldu on veel kõvasti hullem, kui oleks öeldud "humanist."

France has very high social spending, even by the standards of social democrats, yet somehow it’s not enough:

Let me get this straight.
The same people that complain about the cost of living think that more government spending, more money printing and more migration will solve it.
Fascinating

Just imagine French voters and politicians were exposured to Bastiat instead of Piketty. Then France wouldn't be in this mess.

Hundreds of thousands of young people work hard to earn their high school diplomas, but there is nothing planned to welcome them into higher education

France's collapse is the direct consequence of following Piketty and Zucman's recommendations of massive government, huge spending, high taxes and uncontrolled migration.
Now they give lessons.
Muide, kas te teadsite, et professionaalsete aktivistide meelest võib liikumispuudega inimene liikumispuudega seotud asjade osas arvata ka ainult õ-i-g-e-s-t-i? Ja ka siis LOEB tema arvamus AINULT siis, kui ta arvab ka muude asjade osas õ-i-g-e-s-t-i? 😀

French Protesters Demand More Socialism To Fix Problems Caused By Socialism buff.ly/9V0NW1A
Ma olen elus vähemalt paar korda arvanud, et kui ma ostan endale nahktagi, siis minu elukvaliteet paraneb märgatavalt ning ma olen õnnelikum.
Mul on õigus olnud.

Good Morning from Germany, where wholesale power prices are increasingly topping €200/MWh vs an avg of just €96.6 since late June 2024. The latest day-ahead price is €210.67, up 12.5%. France: €212. Spain: €193. Nordic benchmark: €105. Expensive gas, weaker wind and rising heating demand are squeezing much of Europe. Another headwind for Europe's industry before winter even begins.
