Arthur Berman, commentant mon analyse globalement positive des variables de bien-être en Chine, a écrit
Je pense que la trajectoire plus positive de la Chine repose sur un approvisionnement en pétrole et en gaz naturel importés à bas prix. Les chocs énergétiques liés à l'Ukraine et désormais à l'Iran exposent la Chine à une vulnérabilité massive.

"Assistanat", "pognon de dingue", "traverser la rue"... le discours politique néolibéral sur la pauvreté repose sur un postulat : les aides sociales sont trop généreuses et elles décourageraient de chercher un travail. C'est faux. Une étude de l'OFCE montre qu'il est toujours plus rémunérateur de travailler que de percevoir les minima sociaux, y compris à mi-temps.

L'andamento dei negoziati in corso in Svizzera tra emissari di Washington e Teheran sta mettendo in tensione le relazioni israelo-statunitensi.
Al punto, sostiene il ministro israeliano della Cultura e dello Sport Miki Zohar, da portare i due Paesi "in rotta di collisione". La risposta israeliana, ha aggiunto Zohar, "non sarà automatica. Il nostro interesse di sicurezza determinerà le mosse in campo militare".

Those who have lived in the Third World know the smell of a high-end Third World grocery store. If it has ready access to the produce, it tends to have that smell of rotting produce in the air. It is a slight smell, but a present smell. And in the Second World, that is how many of the grocery stores smell too. Somewhere under the roof of that grocery store is, or has recently been, rotting produce and the store seems infused with the smell.

"The difficulty lies not in the new ideas, but in escaping the old ones." - John Maynard Keynes
If you have a 401(k), buy gas, or wonder why your grocery and utility bills keep rising, look no further than the invisible machine running our global economy.
For most of the 20th century, that machine ran on gold.
Like clockwork, it gets hot in summer in western Europe. And like clockwork, the morons in the European ministries blame climate change for their own failure to face reality and make proper provisions for adapting to it.

We all know the myth - to boil frogs, slowly increase the temperature so they won't realize it until it's too late to jump out of the pot and save themselves.

Yesterday I wrote about how immigrant-invader federal judge Sparkle Sooknanan from Trinidad and Tobago, a Biden last-minute DEA appointment, blocked President Trump from using the federal database to limit voting in US elections to American citizens.
Today I am writing about the two journalists who reported the story. Judging by their names, Fatima Hussein and Ali Swenson, they are also immigrant-invaders.

In the last days there were two developments in Lebanon and Iran that will likely cause the war to reignite into a much larger conflagration.
Iran insists on having control over the Strait of Hormuz. But at least half of the passage way is under Oman's jurisdiction.
Oman is, unlike Iran, a member of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and has as such a different view of the international law with regards to the Strait situation.

A recent international survey has highlighted shifting global perceptions of the race for leadership in artificial intelligence.

Western intelligence agencies warn that the world's top artificial intelligence models are becoming so advanced that in a few months they'll pose serious cybersecurity risks to the United States.
"(AI) is rapidly transforming cyber risk, and we must act swiftly to remain ahead," says a statement published this week by the Five Eyes intel coalition.

The "Golden Dome" is effectively obsolete long before it ever materializes and becomes operational. The Trump administration describes hypersonic missiles as "the most catastrophic threat facing the United States". However, instead of engaging in dialogue and diplomacy with Moscow and Beijing, Washington DC keeps escalating tensions with both (often simultaneously).

"Cette zone est constituée de tentes abritant des civils : des personnes déplacées, qui ont subi l'oppression, l'humiliation, la famine, la guerre et le siège. Et tout cet endroit a été bombardé."
KHAN YOUNIS, bande de Gaza - Mercredi, Ahmed Al-Raqab, âgé de onze ans, jouait devant la tente familiale installée sur le littoral sablonneux de Gaza, à Al-Mawasi, à l'ouest de Khan Younis, lorsque le missile israélien a frappé, le tuant et blessant gravement plusieurs autres personnes.
