has germany considered investing in productive assets within their own borders rather than investing in supposedly “parasite” countries like spain and italy?

There's a fantasy in Italy and Spain that Germany's TARGET2 claims aren't real. They're very real. They're subsidized loans from Germany that finance a standard of living in Italy and Spain that's artificially and unsustainably high. The AfD will end this. robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/…

it’s not like germany is out of things to invest in, for example “making db not the most dogshit train system in the eu” or “producing competitive electric vehicles for willing buyers in the union”

maybe in more general terms they could “raise their own standard of living” rather than investing in the 11th vw marque brand factory for romania

a lot of the current taste discourse on here is downstream from mostly people on here having been either /mu/ or /fa/ posters in their youth

there’s functionally no difference between someone posting a music listen 4x4 featuring death grips and the swans in 2015 and posting about taste in tech now. it’s all dick measuring

Imagine a Melbourne where you can finish work on a hot summer's day, head down to the Birrarung Yarra and jump straight in. Victorians used to swim in the Birrarung Yarra. There's absolutely no reason why we can't again. Paris even did it in the Seine - we could do it here too!

there might well be a way to centrally plan an economy. the problem is i simply don’t trust the proponents themselves to do it well enough

car insurance over the last 5 years has hit 2 big changes with costs heavily rising to repair new cars alongside the standard cost pressure of labour. maybe some discussion on the reinsurance side of the market

You know how Brazil reversed deforestation. It wasn’t a bunch of conservation tax incentives for farmers. IBAMA (Brazil’s equivalent of the EPA) airdrops shock troops to firebomb illegal logging and mining camps. Yanuni (2026)

之前有人问我为什么喜欢俄罗斯文学，我告诉他，这感觉就像是在大雪纷飞的冬夜，喝得醉醺醺，从暖烘烘的屋子里走出去，在雪地上痛快地撒那泡尿。

Big news. Woodside walks away from Greater Sunrise. Sells its 33% stake to Timor's state-owned oil and gas company Timor Gap for around $280 million AUD. Timor Gap will have full control of the asset after the sale. Some big questions looming now for Dili (and for Canberra)
