🇺🇸🇬🇧🇯🇵 The typical American, German and Brit are all POORER than they were in 2020. The typical Japanese? Over 50% richer. That’s median wealth per adult after inflation, from UBS’s latest Global Wealth Report. The typical American and German are both down almost 20%, and the Brits got hit hardest of the 3, losing 23.6%. France is down 12.2% too. Japan, meanwhile, posted the biggest gain of any country UBS tracks, followed by the UAE, up roughly 40%. FEWER THAN HALF the countries in the report have a typical adult who’s better off than at the start of the decade. 6 years, a pandemic and an energy crisis later, and the “rich” West has some explaining to do.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

What stage of capitalism is this? 😬🙃

Belgium restored nuclear power output Belgium’s two remaining nuclear reactors are back online, restoring 2GW of reliable power after months shut down. Under Bart De Wever, the government has also scrapped the nuclear phase-out law and lifted the ban on new reactors. Concrete action to reverse the damage inflicted by energy-illiterate fools. Germany threw away more than 20GW of nuclear capacity under Merkel, enough to supply roughly 30% of its electricity. Not just IMHO, 8GW can still be recovered at minimum cost and in short order. Merz must halt dismantling and launch a serious programme to restore capacity - asap. Removed equipment can be replaced. Political paralysis is a choice. That’s the difference between De Wever’s pragmatism and Merz’s catastrophic inability to correct past energy mistakes quickly and decisively, even with a highly capable Katherina Reiche as energy minister. Well done, @Bart_DeWever and team. @_FriedrichMerz @BMWE_

French PM Puts Telecoms On Alert For Nationwide Social Media Blackout As Far-Left Riots Spiral zerohedge.com/political/fran…

Avoid Berlin like cancer. Europe’s largest residential landlord Vonovia stands to lose more than €8bn from nationalisation plans in Berlin, as the prospective governing parties of the city discuss the socialisation of 140,000 apartments. The leftwing Die Linke, winner of the September state election, has agreed to coalition talks with the Social Democrats and the Greens over plans to transfer large apartment portfolios into public ownership in an effort to bring down rents in the capital. The proposal, which foresees compensation far below market values, could impose losses of more than €11bn on four major property companies relative to the levels at which the properties are held in their books, according to FT calculations.
