I just learnt that the multimillion-dollar FTX lawsuit against Amazon is about allegedly running what were supposed to be second-price ad auctions as first-price auctions. The revenue equivalence theorem surely does not contemplate rigging the rules!

Die Neuauflage des Tankrabatts kostet 2,5 Milliarden. Das ist mehr als alle Einsparungen bei Familien - weniger Elterngeld, Unterhaltsvorschuss und Kindersofortzuschlag - zusammen. Die Kürzungen bei Familien sind kein Sachzwang. Sie sind eine politische Entscheidung.

Can the US release more of its strategic oil reserves? "The SPR has a practical operational floor near 150–160 mb that must remain in place to preserve cavern stability." Given Trumps concern for negative long-run consequences, I guess the SPR will be fully depleted... www.ft.com/content/2b00...

Could the US really release more of its strategic oil reserves?

Not knowing much about Scientific Reports, I thought of it at least as a reputable subjournal. Its shocking to see what they publish and shocking that Nature and its subjournals engage in such funneling.

That's an interesting interpretation of the "investment promises". Will be interesting what happens if he actually demands the payment of the "signing bonus". Certainly, the "trade deals" are not done and I guess they will continue to dominate the debate for quite some time going forward...

Holger Herz @herzholger.bsky.social · 05/08/2025

So Trump is saying that the investment promises within the trade "deals" are "like a signing bonus in baseball", and that its "our money to invest as we like". (starting around 2:45). Specifically mentions 550b from Japan and 650b from the EU that are his to spend. www.cnbc.com/video/2025/0...

So pauschal wie die USA die Zölle festgelegt haben frage ich mich dann doch, ob sich die offizielle Schweiz nicht zu früh "freut" in der Annahme, dass die Pharmabranche von den Zöllen ausgeschlossen sei. Dass Trump sich für irgendwelche WTO-Abkommen interessiert wage ich zumindest zu bezweifeln.
