Minnesotans, are you making plans for Friday?

For Mpls, it’s easier because it’s already a planned day off from school (good thinking MFE friends).

No work, no shopping. Are you going to make it work?

It's wild that European leaders are deploying troops to Greenland to "demonstrate they are serious about ensuring the security of Greenland against China and Russia", when it is blindingly obvious that the threat is emanating *not* from China and Russia but from the United States.

In Denmark, you get free healthcare, free university education, a solid state pension and 5-star public transport.

The USA have people going bankrupt to pay medical fees, many with huge student loan debts and ICE terror on top of it all.

My weekend essay in @unherd.com on why central bank independence is a distraction. The real danger lies not with unelected technocrats but in the aggrandisement of power by authoritarians and the global financial sector—that’s true even for the Fed.
