US economy based on a climate vulnerable asset: housing. And insurance industry can't keep up.
But vulnerable asset owners are mostly unorganized & thus underrepresented in policy and politics.

Everyone should be furious at these Democrats for voting to fund ICE, but the real culprit is Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
He refused to pressure his members to vote against ICE. He quite literally chose not to lead. Pathetic.

Jeffries Won’t Whip Vote Against ICE Funding - The American Prospect
While the House Democratic leader announced personal opposition to a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, he won’t pressure his colleagues to do the same.

Idk where this brings us. China is already weaponizing its green revolution and will dominate the 2nd half of the 21st c, among other things, w/ a cultural narrative of climate leadership.
Is 🇨🇳 the climate champion we deserve? Probably.
I’m still on the fence on whether it‘s the champion we need.

The TACO cycle:
Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.
So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

But the data tells a different story.

Finally, it is a good example why the current European Parliament is so unpredictable - majorities are much tighter, and thus even a few rebels can decide a vote. Here the failure of the centre left and centre right parties to keep their rebels in check were decisive.

VW was helped by double- and triple-digit percentage gains from its ID family of electric cars. Meanwhile, the PHEV version of its Tiguan helped the brand to take the top spot for plug-in hybrid cars.

A key part of the struggle against encroaching authoritarianism is to reject rather than perpetuate the Trumpist assertions of absolute power, to push back against the notion that resistance is futile – that MAGA is inevitably marching towards triumph.

Its whole premise was that we need “stop pretending,” to “name realities,” yet somehow he doesn’t mention climate change even once.
