"French President Emmanuel #Macron said in remarks published on Tuesday that #Europe is facing a serious #political & #economic crisis. Speaking to several newspapers ahead of a #EuropeanUnion (EU) leaders meeting on Thursday, the French president said the bloc risks being 'swept aside' in the face of competition from the #UnitedStates & #China."

"#Antisemitism does not behave like an opinion. It behaves like a #contagion.
It lies dormant in the background of societies that congratulate themselves on progress. It reappears in new costumes when conditions allow: #economic anxiety, #political polarization, #war, #socialmedia accelerants, #conspiratorial thinking. It #mutates so that each generation can say, sincerely, “This is different.” And then, as if on cue, it becomes socially transmissible again—moving from the fringe to the fashionable, from coded insinuations to open intimidation.
If this sounds like a virus, that’s because it functions like one.
For #Jews, the strategic question is not whether we can finally “solve” antisemitism through education, dialogue, or moral appeal. Those tools matter, but history is brutal on fantasies of eradication. The strategic question is: How should Jews live wisely in a world where antisemitism periodically becomes #epidemic?"

For the two at the back : there is no such thing as unlimited growth on a #planet with limited #resources 🌍
« #Economic #growth is still heating the planet. Is there any way out ?
Rising GDP continues to mean more carbon emissions and wider damage to the planet. Can the two be decoupled ? »
#economic growth can coexist with #poverty #exclusion #violence & here is a #graph to prove it.

If where a CEO of a large firm spends most of their time (lives) indicates what market/country is most important to their business, then the fact that nearly 1 in 5 FTSE100 CEOs does not live in the UK, tells us something about the orientation of the biggest firms on the London stock-market.
Its yet one more sign of the UK's slow but steady move to the margin of the world economy (we're nowhere near the margins yet but the direction of travel is clear).

I quite agree, but I would oppose #imperialism even if it was shown to be an #economic benefit. If someone could prove to me that spending a single penny of taxes on imperialism would result in a million dollar profit to the nation, it would still be immoral.
The arrival of #President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the People’s Palace hall to meet the #Saudi #economic delegation and sign strategic #agreements between #SaudiArabia and #Syria.
The #healthcare plan already funded by the Public has been scuttled with NO replacement. The tax credits to states - also already paid for by the Public - funding hundreds of me marketplace programs that provide #health & #medical services to tens of thousands of people, were taken and given away by #Congress - largely by donors to the Senate Minority Leader and House Speaker, with a few vague promises to negotiate some scraps back, all now evidently broken. At the end of 2025 the so-called Private #Insurance Industry was greenlighted massive increases to premiums and the associated payments of co-insurance & deductibles. The 2026 budget will scrap virtually all of #Medicaid and most of #Medicare right after this year's midterm #elections. Particularly in rural areas, upward of 40% of hospital revenues come from Medicaid reimbursements which will abruptly cease. HUNDREDS OF HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE are likely to shut down and, in some areas, nearly all will sharply reduce critical services like primary care, emergency rooms, OB/GYN, pharmacy, dialysis, and pediatrics. Many of these particular services will be consolidated to other #hospitals far away with no transportation provided. Thousands will die, tens of thousands will be impoverished, as a direct result. A national #economic failure is more than merely likely. And without good cause; only to crush the Public and to transfer away the remains of its #wealth - our #savings, our #investments - for #redistribution to the untaxed parasites who create nothing, to further ensure that their next six generations will be exempted from the Social Compact.
