Interesting read… another example of politicians being politicians and why the goal in general has to be less money to the politicians…. https://t.co/YDQsmgHuti

Extremely good speech by Milei at Davos albeit highly intellectual and somewhat dry. Recommend listening to all of it and punching through the initial dryness. If only some of the EU experts such as Lagarde and Leyen had the intellectual curiosity and honesty to actually listen

Secretary Bessent, when asked about Switzerland and the EU in Davos: Switzerland is so successful, stay away from EU bureaucracy causing stagnation. Below French labor laws in French and Swiss labor laws in four languages. Where would you prefer to invest and create new jobs?

Europe and innovation and AI. Well worthwhile watching the Alex Karp interview from the WEF. Very sobering comments re Europe and Germany when it comes to technology and innovation. “I think America and China are … very successful, I’ve spent most of my adult life in Europe and

I had forgotten just how on point his writings are…. This passage is a fascinating one.
George Orwell: It began unobtrusively, almost politely. A post here and there disappeared—quietly, without explanation or ceremony. An article was removed from circulation, then another. Each absence was small enough to be dismissed, each deletion subtle enough to avoid

The U.S. Energy Secretary just obliterated Net Zero ideology in 60 seconds. Oil, gas, and coal power EVERYTHING including green energy. This is what adults sound like. Liberals are not ready for this conversation. https://t.co/c6J4x7k7Nk

Interesting. One has to look at full system costs to provide stable and reliable energy…. Who would have thought.
This is why renewables look cheap on paper. Running a power system on intermittent renewables is like subsidizing workers who only show up ~30% of the time. To keep operations running, you still need a fully skilled backup worker available 24/7. That backup costs money...
