There’s gonna be a lot of hyperbolic talk about EU failing to meet the moment, yada, yada. But a 90 BILLION EU loan is a huge step for the EU and Ukraine! Europe just borrowed for war! EU crossed the joint borrowing rubicon. And they can still do the reparations loan in 2026.
We have a deal.

Decision to provide 90 billion euros of support to Ukraine for 2026-27 approved.

We committed, we delivered.

Este pénalti no jogo entre o Sporting e o Santa Clara é uma piada de muito mau gosto. Que rídiculo!

The shift to EVs is happening—fast. Manufacturers can either embrace the long-term transition or chase short-term gains by clinging to petrol and diesel.

China is choosing the long view. Many in Europe aren’t. The risk? Ending up with cars no one wants, lost market share, and shuttered factories.

european car industry will completely destroy itself with its unwillingness to change because the majority of people will buy EVs regardless

Exato.

Voltar a permitir a venda de carros de combustão interna após 2035 não vai alterar nada, a não ser que a Europa continue a apostar nos carros elétricos. Ficar agarrado a uma tecnologia cada vez mais ultrapassada é receita certa para o colapso.
O dilema impossível dos carros europeus
A Alemanha quer estender o prazo para acabar com os motores a combustão. Péssima ideia: prolonga a agonia e nada resolve

Trump’s ambassador to the EU is accidentally—and unwittingly—saying the US economy is losing ground to the EU, even if he doesn’t seem to realise it.

By comparing the wrong GDP metrics, Andrew Puzder is arguing the EU is currently trouncing the US. And it’s all because of Trump!

Let me explain🧵

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US

This view is wrong

Falta muita educação sobre *trabalho*. Fomos tomados pela aldrabice dos "colaboradores", quando a larga maioria de nós *trabalha* e sabe que as relações laborais são assimétricas e não é pouco.

It‘s really fascinating given the whole debate about alleged restrictions to free speech in Europe, that while 59% of Germans say they are free or extremely free to express their opinion, even if unpopular, 61% of Germans think people *in the US* are not too free or not at all free to do so.
