Your daily reminder that peace and unity in Europe will only come with a Russian defeat. It's almost like this is Europe's war of independence. Either we disappear or we win. There isn't really any middle ground.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.
Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.
This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

Merz to the rescue as EU seeks a path around Belgium on Russia’s €210B.
With Belgium resisting the reparations plan, the EU is exploring a workaround that could allow sanctions to be extended and assets mobilized without unanimity. Germany is the driving force.
The outcome will shape the future.
