Some time ago, I had a bout of 1980s Mac nostalgia. So I built one with my 3D printers, a Raspberry Pi 4, and a bit of patience. (Detailed instructions in the link below the video.) https://t.co/DAj3er5oIs

@afpolice Give the Lego bricks back, apologize, and resign!

My grandmother, Renée Lacoude, was a resistant and a concentration camp survivor. Personally, I can hardly see the difference between the ones who arrested her in 1944 to send her to Dachau and, later, Ravensbrück and the American Fork police officers @afpolice in the Ben “Reckless” Schneider video. My blood is boiling. If the facts alleged in the video are even half true, these police officers need to be investigated, fired, and sent to long jail sentences. A free society cannot survive this level of police corruption and, frankly, stupidity. https://t.co/kEXTpErTsX

For a government that is nearly 40000 billion dollars in the red, its henchmen in the executive and judicial branch are sure busy with the important issues: the captain of the Titanic fighting with some crew over the future color of the deck while the ship is sinking.🤣

OK, but what's to stop Trump from changing HIS name to Kennedy Center? Check and mate...

It's an interesting inquiry by a left-leaning (generally pro-big-government outlet). You would think that libertarians would be all over this. But crickets. https://t.co/HGChIu6y3F

@VividProwess You need to paint half of Europe in green too...

@RuffusNussby @eurofounder @EmmanuelMacron Because it is true and thus unacceptable. If you don't remove your reply, I will report it to the European authorities.

@davepl1968 He has no cellphone and just wants to place a call on your vintage payphone.

My second PhD was in economics, in public finance, on the incidence of tax rates on labor supply, a fancy way to say "Laffer Curve". Which is a real phenomenon... Your exposition of the subject is truly excellent. Bravo! On the other hand, this guy is truly a clown, in my professional opinion.

France regulations are growing by 10% a year. GDPR is flourishing. France is just one Cerfa away from perfection. That's all that matters. Down with capitali$m!

@nickgillespie President Trump probably hasn't read many books. And he almost certainly hasn't written any. Yet, this certainly makes him one of the most learned people in politics.

Is Iran still a strong force or a thorn in the side?

Argentina's GDP contracted by approximately 1.6% to 1.86% in 2023 due to high inflation exceeding 211%. President Javier Milei @JMilei implemented a “shock therapy” program upon taking office in December 2023. The recession continued into 2024 with a projected contraction of 3.2% to 3.5%, driven by tight austerity measures and a sharp decline in economic activity before signs of a rebound later in the year. The primary fiscal deficit in 2023 was roughly 5% of GDP, while in 2024, the administration achieved a consistent primary surplus, reaching a surplus of over 0.2% of GDP by early 2024. [i.e. diff = 5.2% in one year!]

Argentina's GDP is forecast to recover strongly, with projected growth of 4.5% in 2025 and roughly 3%–4% in 2026, driven by investment, exports, and the easing of severe austerity measures that marked 2024. Following a contraction, this growth reflects rebounding economic activity and falling inflation, with BBVA Research projecting a 3.0% growth rate in 2026.

2025 Execution: Estimates suggest a rebound with growth projections ranging from 4.2% to 5.2%. The 2025 budget maintains a "zero deficit" policy with a projected primary surplus of roughly 1.4% of GDP.
2026 Growth Outlook: Growth is expected to continue at a solid pace, with forecasts ranging between 3% and 4.3%. The draft 2026 budget targets a 1.5% primary surplus, focusing on fiscal discipline.
2027 Growth Outlook: Growth is expected to continue at a solid pace, with the IMF forecast at 4.0% amid a potentially slowing world economy.
Key Drivers: Growth is propelled by energy, mining, and agricultural exports, supported by a more business-friendly environment, lower taxes, balanced budgets, and regulatory reforms.
Key Risks: The recovery is subject to continued macroeconomic vulnerabilities, potential social pushback against austerity, and global economic volatility.
