Keep these Yankee monstrosities off our European roads!
"US carmakers have accused Brussels of keeping their largest pick-up trucks, including the Ford F-150, the Chevy Silverado and the Ram 1500, off European roads”.

Дело то, как говорят, житейское! А вот что будет через две недели - совершенно не ясно...
"Цены на нефть резко упали, а акции резко выросли после достижения соглашения о прекращении огня с Ираном".

Trump is hastening Britain’s return to the EU, Gideon Rachman, #FT
Аккумуляторы постепенно добираются и до судов...

Of the #FinancialTimes articles recommended above I would like to highlight their flagship report about Orbán’s oligarchs, with emphasis on how insignificant these people were (especially Mészáros) prior to #Orbán coming to power, and how much wealth they accumulated within a short timeframe by hijacking state and EU funds.
#választás2026
🎧 Warmly recommend this short but very nuanced & insightful Gideon Rachman interview with Zsuzsanna Végh from the German Marshall Fund: great summary about the key drivers of the upcoming Hungarian #elections, what is at stake and what might come afterwards.
In the #podcast description there are some free links to further #FT articles about #Hungary, those are also highly recommended.
I have so many questions about following chart.
While I consider turning people towards rational, critical, moderate attitudes to be generally good thing, as the extreme views are often unsustainable, I also consider one-dimensional political spectrum to be rather insufficient, as there are more dimensions to human experience in society, than one.
So: this chart basically says, that AI chatbots manipulate people's opinions. Supposedly, in a good way (towards middle) but still... it means, that it manipulates them. Like old media, like new media.
But... do we really need to burn so much fossil fuels to explain people, that climate change is not hoax and therefore, we perhaps should not burn so much fossil fuels? 🤔
(I haven't read the article, because it is behind paywall, so these are may own comments)
#NeoRoyalism begets murder #FT:
"A … possibility is what
… Stacie Goddard and
Abraham Newman have called "neo-
royalism" -- an order "structured by a
small group of hyper elites" where
politics serve "narrow personalist
interests rather than national
obiectives". While those authors focus
on personalised accumulation of money
and power by ruling cliques, nothing
seems more neo-royalist than seeing
war through the prism of the physical
destruction of a rival leader"
