Here's my conversation with Jennifer Burns (@profburns), a historian specializing in the evolution of economics & political ideas over the past 100 years. She wrote two great biographies: one on Milton Friedman and one on Ayn Rand. This is a super-technical deep-dive on econonmics, capitalism, and ideas of freedom in general.
Also, at the end of the episode (in the outro), I reflect on my conversation with President Zelenskyy.
The full episode is here on X and everywhere else. Links in comment.

‼️Globalna prodaja električnih vozila porasla je za 30,5% u septembru, u poređenju sa septembrom 2023. godine ‼️
Kritičari električnih vozila to nazivaju usporavanjem⁉️
Prodato je čak 1,7 miliona električnih vozila.

Da li su komentari na post u kom gori vozilo, da je u pitanju elektricno vozilo opravdani, ili su samo deo kampanje protiv elektricnih vozila 🤔? Ili je ipak u pitanju samo nezainteresovanost?
Evo sta kazu zvanicni podaci 🔽
“Rudarska kompanija Imeris, koja je sa britanskim startapom Cornish Lithium ušla u konzorcijum za otvaranje rudnika u Kornvolu, radi i na projektu otvaranja rudnika litijuma u središnjoj Francuskoj.”
‼️ Naslov “Nova Performance baterija iz Toyote izbacuje litijum iz igre” i ceo tekst u kom se sugeriše da litijum nije deo baterije, odnosno strategije kompanije Toyota za električna vozila jednostavno nije tačan. Prava istina je da je Toyota objavila saopštenje za medije 🔽
“Posvećenost Finske održivoj rudarskoj praksi takođe je u skladu sa ekološkim ciljevima EU, pa se često koristi i kao ogledni primer kako bi ovaj sektor trebalo da radi na održivim osnovama.”

SAD podržavaju stav vlasti u Srbiji o projektu "Jadar", ali da li će rudnika biti odlučiće narod, kaže za Glas Amerike Džefri Pajat, pomoćnik državnog sekretara 🇺🇸

Odgovara i na tvrdnje 🇷🇺 da Zapad ruši Vučića kroz proteste👇
Argentina’s ambassador to the US who attended the meeting with Musk, told Argentine media that the pair had also “discussed investment opportunities” for Tesla in lithium, the metal crucial to electric vehicle batteries, of which Argentina has some of the world’s largest reserves
