My God, Trump has lifted socialists back to power in Denmark. He will make Europe uniformly left wing by the time he’s done.

If you were 20 yrs old in 1880 you could expect to spend <6% of your life in retirement (2.3 yrs)
If you were 20 in 1990 you could spend up to one-third of your life in retirement
Retirement is still a relatively new concept

Rep. Greg Steube: "You see Macron and the French sending troops to Greenland. I would love to see the US military up against French troops in Greenland, because it would not last very long. It would be a very small skirmish ... we don't care about what Macron and the French want."

This something I want people to understand. If you don’t get their names, they’re just gone. There’s no arrest record and the snatch-and-grabs can last seconds. People simply disappear and we can’t find out who they are or what happened to them.
They seem to be making a habit of it.
This child was taken 10 days ago, no idea who he is, if he is with his family or even if his family knows what happened to him.

A new survey shows 40%+ of execs say AI saves them 8+ hrs/week while ~2/3 of non-managers say it saves <2 hrs or nothing.
This is the second time I’ve seen this split, and it explains the CEO hype vs rank-and-file worker ambivalence.
LLMs excel at summaries and email drafts, aka exec busywork.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

A thing that might not be clear from the outside is that while everyone here is engaged in this fight, ICE’s use of dystopian technology means that you essentially have to pick a lane between observing ICE and doing mutual aid. They are tracking observers’ cars, and taking pictures of their faces.

The power outages and freezing conditions in Ukraine right now are insane. Greenland news and war “coverage fatigue” not giving it the presence in headlines it deserves. The humanitarian impact is absolutely staggering.

It is instructive to compare @hunterw.bsky.social’s report on the deranged Trump press conference with Luke Broadwater’s article in the @nytimes.com, which saw fit to mention Trump’s comments about his Little League career but to leave out his racist rant about Somalis and other immigrants.

I think financial market participants have a fundamentally dated view of the fiscal positions in the US vs Europe
Since the Euro crisis, EU has de-leveraged, while USG has levered up
Right now EU is running NGDP growth well above fiscal deficits, while US is running deficits well above NGDP growth

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

🧵 Trump’s Greenland brinkmanship puts the EU’s Anti-Coercion Instrument back on the table. Few cases fit economic coercion more cleanly.
But the ACI is often misunderstood. It’s not a bazooka, but a slow-loading cannon, able to fire anything from heavy shells to hot air. Here’s how it works ⬇️
