Ohne Einwanderung hätte DE 2019-2024 Rezession (-6% BIP) statt Stagnation (±0%) gehabt. Und: Trend der Arbeitsmarktintegration ist gut (weniger Overqualification, i.e. high skill leute in low skill jobs), aber Level still bad. Source: New @ecb.europa.eu blog www.ecb.europa.eu/press/blog/d...

Ongoing evidence that a sense of isolation and atomization is a driver of far right extremism. And one that becomes self reinforcing as far right parties agitate for policies that destroy the social fabric.

The German elections have produced a clear result: Friedrich Merz will govern with a majority of CDU, CSU and SPD. The not-so-grand coalition plus the Greens are 7 seats short of a 2/3 majority to change the debt brake in the constitution or to add a new special purpose vehible. So what now?

Trump’s Gaza plan is obviously grotesque but the strategy of funding an ally to fight a colonial war, the ally withdrawing, then the US taking over the war hasn’t exactly worked well in the past.
