A test I gave last week:

Nous avons un plan pour recréer la filière textile française, notamment à partir de la culture du lin. Nous engagerons une réorganisation d'ensemble en mettant en place une économie circulaire pour récupérer les matières premières. Chaque année, des tonnes de textiles sont jetées. Nous nous sommes fixé des objectifs à atteindre : • 10 % de vêtements neufs produits en France d’ici 2032 • +20 % de surface de lin cultivée en France • 35 % de vêtements achetés en France issus soit de la fabrication française, soit de l’économie circulaire • 70 000 tonnes de textiles réemployées en France

🔴 🗣11-Novembre : “Je n’accepte pas l’idée que qui que ce soit en Europe veuille construire la plus grande armée conventionnelle. Il faut poser la question à nos voisins : ‘À qui comptez-vous faire la guerre ?’“, déclare Jean-Luc Mélenchon, candidat LFI à la présidentielle.

Wenn man Verbindungen zur PFLP inakzeptabel findet, weil die für Gewalt in Nahost steht, was in Gottes Namen hat man dann beim Lobbyverband der israelischen Armee zu suchen? Ehrlich gemeinte Frage.

Very thought-provoking argument by Louis-Vincent Gave @gave_vincent, co-founder and CEO of Gavekal (one of the most respected macro research firms on China). His argument - which is correct - is that one of the The biggest problem for Western governments today (be it France, the UK, the US) is the rapidly rising cost of funding their debt. He says that governments have 3 broad ways to get it under control: 1) Austerity, cutting spending massively, which basically no politician wants to do because it makes you massively unpopular 2) Specific to the US, they could dramatically reduce AI data center spending, which soaks up a huge share of the world’s capital and pushes up borrowing costs for everyone, governments included. Not good either since it kills the AI boom. 3) Or, they can go back to embracing China, which he calls "the one deflationary force in the world today." He says it's by far the easiest path, and policymakers always take the easiest path. Louis-Vincent argues that's exactly what Mark Carney (“the least dumb of the western leaders today,” in Gave’s words) did when he opened Canada to Chinese cars: it's a cheap and easy way to fight inflation, and to reduce the cost of funding Canada’s debt in the process. It's fairly ironic when you think about it: you can actually find plenty of quotes by Western officials castigating China for "exporting deflation" (like Klaas Knot from the European Central Bank here: en.protothema.gr/2024/12/30/…). Louis-Vincent’s argument is basically that, sooner or later, folks in Western finance ministries are going to look at bond yields, then at the inflation numbers, then at all those speeches about China exporting deflation, and go like: "wait a minute..." 😏 Full video of Louis-Vincent’s interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=kT_cV_Wa…

Trump’s Board of Peace acknowledges that the disasterous winter storm flooded tens of thousands of tents and temporary shelters in Gaza - and that Israel has blocked the shelter materials needed to avoid the horrific and needless suffering of Gaza’s civilians. What they omit is that Israel even has blocked NRC, as the humanitarian shelter coordinator, access to Gaza and removed our longstanding registration in Israel. History will judge this severely.
