This is the sort of chart you see in a medieval history book explaining the origins of an event called something like 'The Upheaval of 1328'

@welt Man könnte ja, anstatt wirkungslose Maßnahmen gegen das Mineralölkartell, mal temporär den Preis des Deutschland-Ticket absenken.
Z.B. auf verrückte 9 Euro.

European countries threatened by Trump should put tariffs on US oligarchs.

Concretely, If Tesla wants to sell cars in the UK or France then Musk himself should have to pay tax in these countries.

Put a wealth tax on him, and condition Tesla’s market access to him paying the tax

finally, some good news

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

#Dispatch devs have no interest in using AI to replace voice actors or game development 🎮

"AI feels like a production solution, not a creative one. Maybe it's a creative one if you aren't creative"

"Whatever we're building, it has to connect. It's got to be made by people. It's got to connect to people"

"We're not getting up every morning and talking to ourselves like, 'hey, what if we did this with less people? What's the lowest number of people we can use to make this thing?' This is like not anything that we're too concerned with"

"Die Verpflichtung für WhatsApp und Co., in die Daten zu schauen, ist vergleichbar damit, dass die Post vor dem Verschließen des Briefes nochmal schnell auf das Briefpapier schauen muss, ob da nicht etwas Verbotenes drin steht. Es klingt absurd, aber die Chatkontrolle ist genau das. Und wenn wir die Post nicht draufschauen lassen, dann gibt es keine Briefmarke und wir dürfen keine Post mehr verschicken."

This is one of the more interesting revisionist histories of modern US economics I've heard in a long time.

The story I thought I knew about China and the decline of US manufacturing is that opening trade with China created a "shock" to blue-collar labor that moved manufacturing to Shenzhen from Ohio.

@pkedrosky offers a (somewhat complementary) counter-history: What also happened is that the broadband Internet build-out of the 1990s required so much capital that it sucked investment away from manufacturing.

If that's true, then the Trump administration's re-industrialization plan is INCREDIBLY ironic. Trump is trying to reverse the China shock by raising tariffs. But the AI boom is recreating the capital shock, as data centers replaces fiber-optics as the new death star that's sucking capital, which might have, at the margins, gone to manufacturing. And, in fact, what we're seeing today is declining manufacturing (and construction) employment at a time when AI capex is contributing 30-50% of GDP growth.
