Ethiopia takes a bold step toward Africa’s economic unity by starting trade under #AfCFTA. This milestone boosts intra-African trade, opens new SME opportunities, and enhances connectivity — with @flyethiopian ✈️ as a key enabler. #AfCFTA

Strange negative spin on this headline. A more complete statement would be "Tax revenue grew but GDP grew faster".
#Ethiopia’s tax-to-GDP ratio plummeted from 12.4% to 7.5% during the past decade, the largest global decline. Key factors include structural economic shifts, tax non-compliance, conflict, & inflated GDP estimates—exacerbating fiscal challenges amidst ongoing economic mismanagement.

The math is obvious and unequivocal: ~100% of energy over time comes from the Sun. Everything else is a rounding error.
People forget that power is literally power. Whoever harnesses the most power from the sun, wins.

Solar power is growing super fast. In the very long-term (Kardashev Scale), solar will be >99% of all power generation.
If you're hearing (as I often do) that solar isn't growing fast enough to meet future needs, please keep in mind that that is BS.

Michelle and I think that Julie Mehretu’s art installation, titled “Uprising of the Sun,” will be one of the most important aspects of the Obama Presidential Center and an iconic contribution to the South Side and the city of Chicago. We can’t wait for you to see it.
