How Higher Inflation and Tariffs Impact Your Wallet

Hey everyone, it's been a week with some pretty significant economic news, and honestly, some of it feels like a bit of a gut punch. Last night on the CBS Evening News, they highlighted a really concerning report: most Americans aren't earning enough to truly afford a basic quality of life. Think about that for a second. This isn't just about scraping by for food and rent anymore. This report factored in things we all rely on, like technology for work and school, healthcare costs, and even […]

Americans, it’s time to move to Europe

A slightly superficial article iun many ways, but having lived in the US and now living in Europe (Scotland) with a US partner (who would not go back) a lot of it is good stuff. And that is before you have to consider the current fascist danger or even trivial things such as gun crime.

screenshot : reads I live emotionally between the two continents. As a British student in the US in the early 1990s, I thought it was the greatest country on Earth. I acquired an American wife and kids, but we ended up in Paris. Over decades of transatlantic visits, I've tracked the lives of American friends and relatives. I now feel that even somehow setting aside the mammoth issues of Trump and freedom, most Europeans live better than most Americans.
There's one big exception: the mega-rich. If you're among the wealthy Americans awaiting another tax cut from Congress, then congratulations: the Trump administration is at least trying to run the country for your benefit. You're unlikely to get that from European governments. Similarly, most Americans in tech or finance will find undynamic Europe frustrating.
That leaves about 99 per cent of the population for whom emigrating to Europe would be a life win. The biggest potential beneficiaries are adults under the age of 35: unable to afford a home or even childcare in America's biggest cities, but young enough to acquire a new language and circle of friends.Screenshot, reads 'Once here, your salary may shrink, but your costs definitely will.
The Eurozone's income per capita is about three-quarters that of the US, after correcting for purchasing power, says the World Bank.
Americans in Europe might need to cut down on consumer goods.
On the upside, they will be able to afford housing, education and healthcare. The average premium for family health insurance in the US is $25,572, reports the Kaiser Family Foundation. That's more than the average post-tax wage in much of Europe. Fun here is cheaper too. A multinational organisation I know brought its national chapters together for a dinner in Madrid. When the bill came, the Americans were so startled by its tininess that they photographed it, saying they would hang it framed in the Washington office.

"The thing about Europe is that it lacks an absolutist attachment to free speech. See how judges in Romania and France derailed the careers of hard-right politicians, who have convinced themselves (with little evidence) that it was their ideology rather than their lawbreaking that got them in trouble. Yet to many Europeans the idea that free expression is under threat seems odd. Europeans can say almost anything they want, both in theory and in practice. Europe’s universities never became hotbeds of speech-policing by one breed of culture warrior or the other. You can express a controversial view on any European campus (outside Hungary, at least) without fear of losing your tenure or your grant. No detention centres await foreign students who hold the wrong views on Gaza; news outfits are not sued for interviewing opposition politicians. Law firms are not compelled to kow-tow to presidents as penance for having worked for their political foes.
(...)
The thing about Europe is that it is like an open-air museum, yesterday’s continent. Is its model even sustainable? A good question—one that presupposes the European model is worth defending. It is a place blessed with walkable cities, long life expectancies and vaccinated kids who do not need to be trained to dodge school shooters. Charlemagne’s realm is a place of many flaws, lots of them enduring. But in their own plodding way, Europeans have created a place where they are guaranteed rights to what others yearn for: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

I lament the fact that the City of #Salem budget is in such bad shape that the #libraries, #parks, and #seniorcenter are considered “optional” for funding. But here we are.

Please vote to keep these essential public services open and operating for the next five years. Your “Yes” vote on May 20 for the levy will support jobs and quality of life in Salem.

Carlos Roldán ponders the “quality-of-life” in like it's the meaning of life itself. 🎮🧩 Spoiler: It's still just blocks falling, and the real puzzle is why anyone needed legal disclosures to read about it. 🚫📜
