Much of the backlash against EU vehicle regulations was based on the assumption that the industry knows better what would realistically happen re: EVs. Turns out it didn't.

"German auto industry is being swept up in the electric vehicle wave. At VW, demand for electric cars has reached a level the company had not expected until 2029 (!) Mercedes, too, anticipates higher-than-expected sales of electric cars; its models are sold out for this year"

Amazing chart from Adam Farrar of Bloomberg @economics. Assuming the Binance hack was done by the North Koreans, as alleged by @trmlabs, then the country just captured 75% of its total 2025 revenue in the span of just 20 minutes

Aktualisierung: FDP widerspricht Initiatoren des Gruppenantrag, die behaupteten, es habe "gute, vertrauliche Gespräche" gegeben. Fraktionsführung habe alle MdBs einzeln abgefragt: Niemand werde mit Rot-Rot-Grün für Abschaffung o Reform von #218 vor Neuwahl stimmen. Quelle: @welt

Ich bin absolut der letzte, der ein gleichbleibendes Rentenniveau für notwendig oder bezahlbar hält, aber dieses Argumentieren mit nominalen Zahlen, wenn es gerade gut passt, geht mir so dermaßen auf die Nerven…

Die Rentner als Geiseln zu nehmen, ist eines Kanzlers schlicht unwürdig: Kein Rentner hätte weniger bekommen als vorher. Es wäre also nicht „gekürzt“ worden. Die ZUWÄCHSE würden ggf. etwas geringer ausfallen. #miosga #AmpelAus

Ein dummes Argument anzubringen, nur weil die Seite noch nicht voll ist: meistens keine gute Idee. Das beste Argument gegen Wahlen am 15. Januar bleiben die zu kurzen Fristen für die Kandidatenaufstellung.

❗️Exklusiv für @zdfheute - Papierindustrie widerspricht Bundeswahlleiterin. Haben wir in Deutschland einen #Papiermangel, der eine zu frühe Neuwahl verhindert? Ich habe beim Verband @Papierfabriken nachgefragt. Dessen klare Antwort: nein - es gebe keinen Papiermangel. 1/

Und, und das ist jetzt kein Argument, natürlich hat insgeheim niemand Lust, dass die Weihnachtszeit mit Wahlkampf verbracht wird. Freue mich schon auf den Vorwurf des versteckten Wahlaufrufs in Scholz‘ Neujahrsansprache.

I think the student loan obsession of the activist base was probably the most destructive thing I've ever seen. It's an issue that just completely alienated those without college degrees and the legal inability to get anything done antagonized the left activists pushing it.

It's not at all clear this is the case. It's more likely that there was simply no way to take the economic L from COVID that the public would have accepted because the fundamental public demand is no economic Ls, ever, for any reason

Economists are going to have to reckon with the fact that the public would have preferred a slower recovery with much higher unemployment, as long as prices had been stable.
