Agriculture is only a tiny part of EU-Mercosur free-trade agreement • EU tariff cuts on Mercosur-made meat will apply only to small share of European imports • Real economic rationale of deal could lie in industrial and services trade, as well as mineral products www.economist.com/europe/2026/...

🚨Trump kræver "øjeblikkelige forhandlinger" for at købe Grønland. Han kalder Danmark "utaknemmelig" og siger, at USA ikke burde "have givet Grønland tilbage til Danmark efter Anden Verdenskrig". Minder om USAs militære magt i Venezuela. Mener Grønland er "ubeboet og uudviklet".

First statement from Macron: “Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context. Should they materialise, Europeans will respond in a united and coordinated manner. We will ensure that European sovereignty is upheld. In this spirit, I will speak with our European partners.”

Europe has to stand up to Trump. Use the Anti-Coercion instrument. There's no other way Weakness will only invite more

Tillad mig (igen) at opsummere argumenterne imod differentieret moms. Og bemærk: Argumenterne handler ikke om hvorvidt differentieret moms øger eller mindsker uligheden, eller hvorvidt det påvirker tilskyndelsen til at arbejde.

Good Morning and welcome to another episode of regime change by the USA. The US seems to be militarily trying to get rid of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro right now. There are reports of US ground forces in action. However, watch the Cubans too. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Ny analyse - EU's levestandard vokser meget hurtigere end USA's på trods af lavere vækst i BNP. Hvordan hænger det sammen? (1/6) #dkøko

While no one disputes that Europe needs to do more for its defence, the focus on defence spending percentage of GDP won’t get us there. Indeed, making Europeans commit to an arbitrary spending target is the best way to keep Europe from reaching strategic autonomy. My rant in the @financialtimes.com
ft.com
Spending 5 per cent on defence doesn’t make Nato stronger
An arbitrary target won’t enhance members’ capabilities or co-ordination and encourages creative accounting

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

For those listening to this rant, those numbers are not tariffs. The European Union, e.g., has weighted average tariff rates of ~ 3% and arguably lower on US goods. So they are clearly including VATs and who knows what else? This false reciprocity is nonsense. For more: www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

Håndværkerfradraget er skattebegunstigelse af bestemte former for forbrug/investeringer. Dårlig samfundsøkonomi isoleret set. I den anden retning trækker så de positive gevinster på klimaet af grønne renoveringer. Men det er bare dyr og dårlig klimapolitik. Skrot håndværkerfradraget #dkpol #dkøko

New from me: I wrote about how search algorithms have created a web full of content and words for Google, not humans. We made a fake lizard website to show you what has happened over 25 yrs. The visuals are beautiful. I’m so proud to work with such talented people! www.theverge.com/c/23998379/g...
“Along with the subheads, we’ll add a table of contents to the top of articles so each section becomes a link that can drive traffic on its own.
“
A blog post on a fake lizard site is chopped in the subheads with keyword crammed writing that mirrors People Also Ask sections in Search.“We’re also adding significantly more professional background details. We’re going to round up how long we’ve been writing about reptiles — it’s mostly true. Can Google even tell?
“
An author bio section shows a longer blurb about experience, targeting Google’s EEAT guidelines.“Our lizard blog doesn’t look much like what we started out with, but it probably resembles hundreds of sites you’ve seen before.” Shows the contrast between the website before SEO took over and after.
