You face energy-related inflationnary pressures? Do not worry, central bank credible reputation as neutral interest rate setter will bring market expectations back to the target , Ormuz straits will open again and Trump will be sane again. Does not make sense? Yes but you get a Noibel Prize for this

A modern heating system doesn’t need a soloist. It needs a choir. 🎶 Tartu brings together waste heat, river water, thermal storage, district cooling and renewable energy to create a system that reduces fossil fuel dependence. 🎥 See how Tartu found its harmony: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCE1...

More evidence that Warsh wants a Quadrant III Fed (no conferences, no fwd guidance). Fewer FOMC meetings mean a Fed that not only communicates less with the public but also less internally, a set of policies that seem unlikely to produce either financial stability or democratic accountability.

Warsh Considers Reducing Frequency of Fed Policy Meetings (Gift Article)
The Federal Reserve has met at least eight times a year for decades. Reducing the number of meetings would represent the biggest change by Kevin M. Warsh since he became chairman.

Die Koalition will einen Rentenfonds nach 🇸🇪 Vorbild, in den 2% des Lohns fließen. Wie schon bei Lindners Aktienrente (remember him?) greift die progressive Kritik an diesem Element der #rentenreform viel zu kurz. Internationale Evidenz zeigt: Kapitaldeckung = Finanzialisierungsmaschine. 🧵

#AI policy everywhere uses "risk management (RM) frameworks". But that, @leevisaari.eurosky.social and I argue, creates blind spots: future AI harms that cannot be quantified and attributed to specific actors fall by the wayside. RM thus limits democratic control. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
