Maybe not just vocational careers, the age of bouts of early retirement might be in the past as more pressure on pension systems and fewer younger workers coming through due to overall demographics.

Sounds very similar to "Seeing like a State" by Scott but coming from a slightly different angle. He wrote about high modernism being driven through against underlying conditions.

Pundits going to pundit.

Looking surprisingly stable for the last 25 years...

Yes but if you start those graphs at 2000, the picture for a few countries like France and Germany changes. And policy positions as a result might be different.

Wildfires, like in 🇫🇷🇪🇸, are getting more frequent, and more destructive. We are helping finance and coordinate the deployment of a record number of firefighters, aircraft and emergency experts. This is European solidarity in action.

Much easier just to stop and lock bike (even if just to itself) than find a parking space, if you wanted to chat to someone, buy a coffee or jump into a shop! Totally agree.

Brad Setser: "The EU new car market is around 11m cars. Imports from China have now reached just about 1.2m cars, or over 10% of the market. Exports from the EU to China are now under 140,000 cars, or almost 10% of imports." #alwaysbecharging nitter.net/Brad_Setser/...

Agree

I can't envision a new Bretton Woods happening. What will develop will develop. We simply need to adapt as we can. Maybe rolling away the hubris that we can engineer our way out of the US system decline will make things easier.

Hello! Last year, X was ordered to pay a €120 million fine for breaching transparency obligations under the DSA. Also, proceedings are ongoing regarding X’s handling of illegal content & information manipulation. Another investigation was launched in January regarding child sexual abuse material.

And these two points strengthen the other through after sales value. After sales value diminished considerably without the trust that someone will be there to look after you (take responsibility) if something goes wrong.

Secondly, creation of any art is more about the effort of creation than the end product. Deny buyers whatever story is behind the creation and you commoditize the product and screw over your profits.

There is, at least, 2 things that I turn to when considering these topics. Firstly responsibility. If a company was just a CEO and machines, he would take responsibility. If no CEO, you don't have a company but a partnership. The partners take responsibility and ignorance of the law is no defense.

And then there's the result of the 6 hour day experiments! Where they couldn't find the extra 33% of shift workers to cover hospitals. How does that fit into the overall plan(?)?

What's the difference between part time work and a side hustle? When does the 15 hour week become viable? It's not just economics but cultural politics.

This kind of makes sense. There is a lifecycle of a national team of 4 to 8 years. A European championship or World Cup is a definite milestone at least to either confirm progress or begin next lifecycle.
