@JesusFerna7026 Do you think toxicity has had an effect as well? Endocrine disrupting chemicals are common.

@profplum99 The pain seems concentrated in Asia, Australia, and the Gulf states, and especially in Qatar.

What happened to the pivot to Asia?

Isn't OZ a reliable ally of USA? or Qatar?
Hasn't Qatar paid the Trump family enough to have their wishes considered? A gilded 400MUSD airplane ?

@CryptoJelleNL @grok is this true

@noclador @StuntmanLT I've heard that it does exist, and is a requirement for the sales to Columbia, and if Canada so chooses, to Canada.

Great article about the broken system in the states.

Sweden for comparison

max payment for two kids at a good daycare: about 350 USD/ month.

Seeing a doctor costs 23 dollars,

a day in the hospital with all care costs I think also 25 dollars.

If you’ve spent more than iirc 150 dollars on healthcare, you get free healthcare for a year. Medicine is quite inexpensive as well.

Parental leave is 12 months, shared between the parents, with a further six months available at lower pay.

The middle class is thriving.

@APompliano @profplum99 absolutely. a GREAT piece. Perhaps one could put the lead in market commentary in a separate piece.

@Trace_Cohen The list seems out of date. Northvolt went bankrupt and Getir is only operating in Turkiye now. I didn't check the others

Now imagine an AI-powered swarm of thousands of drones overtaking ship defenses in a critical global chokepoint to deliver IEDs (or worse) all at once.

The death of 400 yrs of Mahan Doctrine (control naval checkpoints = control the world) has not begun being marked-to-market yet

@EliotJacobson not good.

@davidfrum You mean the AMERICAN armed forces, not the "Trump administration".

Trump has been elected twice. He is the SCOTUS.

This might very well be the USA armed forces.

Not so fast, I think.

The "deal" says that the EU will buy 750 billion USD in energy in total by 2028, or maybe 250 billion / year.

The EU has no power to buy energy; that power lies with the 27 soveriegn states and their energy companies.

That energy export number would be difficult to reach anyway; USA exported energy for 318 billion in 2024, of which less than 80 billion to the EU.

One COULD redirect a large part of all USA energy exports to the EU, I suppose, leaving other customers dry, or the states COULD export much more energy.

However, Trump's oil price target of 60 dollars/barrel makes most fracking rigs in the states unprofitable. it will be difficult to produce much more out of the Permian at those prices.

I think it's more accurate to call the tariffs a new federal sales tax on foreign goods.

@Urban380Urban JA!

@TrentTelenko https://t.co/EdbHKCyNER does variable pitch propellers on their drones. They're necessary to steer while carrying a tree trunk; the center of gravity then falls well below the drone.

🟢 A Greenlight to remove chemicals from our crops 🟢
Double-stranded RNA has just been shown to be a rifle-shot treatment for plant viruses — "one of the most stubborn and costly challenges in global food production. Just months after proving we can control one of the world’s most destructive weeds, we’ve now shown that our RNA platform can also target viral pathogens across multiple crops, including tomatoes, corn, and soybeans.

Why does this matter?

According to the USDA, plant viruses account for over 1 billion metric tons in annual crop losses (with economic losses exceeding $30 billion and a climate impact approaching 1 GTon of CO2e). They are notoriously hard to manage, with few effective, scalable tools available.

GreenLight has demonstrated effective control of most classes of pests and diseases that affect crops, including insects, acarids, destructive fungi and weeds, and now, plant viruses." — from https://t.co/Ang4PtG6q1

And all this without chemical residues or any interaction with humans, bees or ladybugs.
