-@EuroBriefing - not to forget #Italy #Spain - even #Germany and #Austria are on slippery slope with some of highest #Tax burdens in the world #economy

[Wolfgang Munchau @EuroBriefing]

In our main story we look at what might become another global financial crisis. France, in particular, has similar macro characteristics to the UK. - https://t.co/VKWTz4IeXi

How many #payment service providers do we need? Are #banks THAT sleepy that they cannot tweek their systems? And in any case, who REALLY has a problem paying bills? #checkoutLtd #everythingbabble https://t.co/MH4Hkt4Gub

Welcome to the Casino! #Cryptocurrency Traders Go to #Carbon Markets, Credits representing millions of tons of greenhouse-gas #emissionoffsets are now tied to digital tokens. (WSJ), Insane speculation distorts real economy! #Environment

[TA Economics @TAEconomics]

Even a fervent free market advocate like me has to question whether there cannot be too much freedom? Soon we will be charged for the air we breathe as well (#Carbon is unavoidable when we exist) #Energy #NaturalGasPrices https://t.co/uJcu7Pficb

#ImpactInvesting - excluding 'bad' companies a pointless virtue signalling? New Study out #Corpgov #ESG #SRI https://t.co/yMJSqz9MDC

At least nobody gets (yet) burned on a stake, the #climate obsession has still a long way to go then...

[Javier Blas @JavierBlas]

And because it's my home country, and minister @Teresaribera started to follow me this week on Twitter, here we go with Spanish day-ahead electricity prices, hitting a fresh record high of €141.71 per MWh. Power prices are now front-page story in Spain. A huge political problem.

Putting lipstick on a pig!

[Simon French @Frencheconomics]

Given how much of this steady increase in UK public spending stems from an ageing population then really the 70Y headline tells you less about political decisions around size of public sector & more about the demographic evolution - with a lot more to come over next 30Y.

Shareholder Democracy is sacrificed, Inequality will increase, another kick in the teeth for (already) toothless #Corpgov and #ESG posturing multitudes in Academia, Media and Financial (Dis)Services, let alone Governments and Regulators #Morrisons #GSK https://t.co/2YPmTP4TQZ

#Assetmanagement firms sit in the glasshouse when they ask for #Execpay restraint, all the whining by #Corpgov crowd so far has not brought proper pay control https://t.co/g4gjDRi8OZ

[TA Economics @TAEconomics]

Another demonstration of how useless the #CorpGov #Execpay crowd is - allowing these excesses but blustering about minor trivialities #Tesla $TSLA #Blackrock #Vanguard #S&P #ProxyAdvisers #Inequality https://t.co/s5hM0NcR7a

"private companies are of course allowed to do whatever they want" WRONG! not once they dominate their field! Or could Edison have prevented anyone from using the telephone? #Twitter #Google #Facebook #antitrust

Time for sleepy #regulators to stop this nonsense, #Bitcoin #Crypto is a #chainletter, not an #Investment #FCA #ESMA #Finman #Bafin #SEC

[TA Economics @TAEconomics]

#Crypto #Bitcoin etal pass the #Ducktest, they are #Investments, esp as #FundManagers add them to their holdings - where are #Regulators #SEC #FCA #Finma #ESMA

#CaffeeNero wants #rent suspension for 3 yrs - Landlords should rather leave premises empty - enough finl engineering, tax, going private etc #Capitalism #Inequality

[TA Economics @TAEconomics]

#Regulation is not helping the #Investors, just adds costs, cushy life for 4000+ staff at #FCA for ex

[TA Economics @TAEconomics]

#ISS #Proxy recommendations reviewed - Pointless as the #Execpay problem is not resolved - waste of money #Capitalism https://t.co/edhnLJeJbs
