Those who celebrate @elonmusk's $1 trillion fortune need to be reminded of a simple and vital truth: That there is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy.

One week after the launch of the #GlobalJusticeReport, we've received a wide range of reactions. We're grateful for the many comments, critiques, and questions we've received so far, and we hope the discussions continue in the weeks ahead. We see the report as a contribution to a broader public debate. Here are three common criticisms we'd like to address: 1) “The report proposes a radical de-growth agenda” 2) "The report uses an unrealistically pessimistic 4.5°C warming scenario." 3) "The report is a utopian dream." 🧵

The EU must become a "Genuine Federation" according to Mario Draghi. What do you think? Should we continue with bureaucracy, or reform the EU into a superpower? Our stance is UNITY! 🇪🇺

Hard to think of a greater honor than to be considered The Economist‘s intellectual enemy #1. My work is “intellectual ballast” for the largest number of Americans since 1975 wanting government to “improve the standard of living” of the poor, cut their costs, raise their incomes and stop AI from wrecking society, they say. Dream of an endorsement. Thank you @TheEconomist!

The European capital should have been built halfway between Vienna and Bratislava, nothing else makes sense.

🇷🇴 Is Romania about to lose its main source of European money in just 2 years? Right now, a major battle is happening in Brussels over the next EU budget (2028–2034). Romania, together with Poland, Greece, the Baltics, Spain, and Italy, has formed the “Friends of Cohesion” group to fight for keeping strong Cohesion Funds - the money that modernized our country for almost 20 years. But Germany and the “net contributor” countries want to cut these funds significantly. Their reasons? → Focus more on defense and military industry → Invest in competitiveness and the Green Deal → Prepare for the huge costs of Ukraine’s future reconstruction Expert Gabriela Ciot (UBB Cluj) warns: priorities in Europe have changed. Romania must adapt, be smarter at negotiations, push for funds in defense (SAFE program), digitalization, and energy or risk stagnation after 2027. European funds won’t disappear completely, but the golden era of massive Cohesion money might be ending. The next 2 years of negotiations will decide Romania’s development for the following decade.

Degrowth proposes exactly the opposite : constraining growth in rich coubtries to allow poorer countries to catch up. It's literally the first post of @PikettyWIL 's thread: x.com/i/status/20624…

De-growth is the ultimate bourgeois ideology, dreamed up by spoiled kids in developed countries who would close the door behind them, oblivious to the fate of billions in the left tail of the global income distribution whose only hope to make it out of poverty is growth.

Then, to top it all of, they praise the deportation of 1 vulnerable refugees to countries that view human rights as optional (ignoring international law. It leaves me speechless. This is plain ignorant, distasteful, narrow-minded and dangerous 3/

@TheEconomist has fully lost the plot. I knew they were free-market liberals but to claim that the youngest generation’s worries about the future (wealth inequality, no housing, low employment, climate change, etc) are the result of insufficiently free markets is insane???? 1/

🇭🇺🎶 For the first time in Hungarian history, 'The forest is green / Pădure vergyé', the Hungarian Roma community's anthem—which gained that status after a 1993 civil rights protest—was played in parliament, at PM Péter Magyar's suggestion. Many MPs were in tears, and so was I.

PAS is quite literally the most pro-Romania and pro-union party that has ever governed Moldova, and yet those morons from AUR still haven't explained why they're so vehemently opposed to PAS and Maia Sandu

🇲🇩 Moldovan parliament has introduced restrictions on the use of the Russian language during official meetings. From now on, Romanian will become the only working language in the country's highest legislative body, but the pro-Russian opposition is not satisfied with this.
