FULL STATEMENT from Germany’s Economic Minister Robert Habeck on the country’s gas crisis. Absolutely must read. “In order to reduce gas consumption, less gas is to be used to produce electricity. Instead, coal-fired power plants will have to be used more”

Feels like we are all talking past each other. It's not that price gouging is the sole cause of inflation or even the primary one. But what we are really talking about is who carries the cost of adjustment. And as of now, it tends to be the wage rather than the profit share.

I think a lot of people didn't get Trump's foreign policy message. He wasn't saying that the WOT was a mistake. What he was saying is the liberals made you do shitty nation-building cause they liked Muslims and tried to convert them whereas we should have just been killing them.

Stoltenberg is saying that war is politics by other means. Of course, this war ends at a negotiating table. That's true of all wars. The issue is who sets the terms. And that's determined by the battlefield. This means that Ukraine needs to win there to win at the table.

Jens Stoltenberg saying here that the only solution to war in Ukraine will be at ‘the negotiating table’. For sections of the British press, and both major parties, this is apparently a ‘Putin talking point’. Stoltenberg is the Secretary General of NATO.

Fukuyama went wrong because he really though 89 was a revolution rather than an inter elite transfer of power.

If the US doesn't pass the reconciliation bill and China plays out like it looks like it might, well welcome to the great recession on steroids. No fiscal impulse to be found anywhere.
