When 27 nations create a new company form for 450 mio. people, well, the sayings about sausage making are true. Nevertheless, Kudos to DG JUST team of the EU Commission for steady work again today. Keeping the faith for a unanimous regulation. @EUStartupNet @euinc_petition

Congratulations to Aghion, Howitt, and Mokyr for a well deserved Nobel on growth and innovation. Mokyr carefully showed why it started. Aghion & Howitt showed how it continues: a process of "creative destruction," where new technology must be allowed to displace the old.

Rest easy, Diane Keaton. Few could command the screen like her. 🕊️ From the first moment we met Annie Hall, she changed what it meant to be both a movie star and a style icon.
