President of #EU trade Commission Ursula von der Leyen decried addition of new #DJT #tariff threats for August 1st by stating proposed US policies are to "detriment of businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic."

"Few economies in the world match the #EuropeanUnion's level of openness and adherence to fair trading practices. The EU has consistently prioritized a negotiated solution with the U.S., reflecting our commitment to dialogue, #stability, and a constructive #transatlantic partnership...we will take all necessary steps to safeguard EU interests, including the adoption of proportionate #countermeasures if required."

"Chinese analysts have been closely monitoring the #LosAngeles #unrest, which they said had been exploited by #US President Donald #Trump for #PoliticalTheatre, jeopardising public #safety and #stability. (..) Lacking diplomatic wins, Trump may pivot to harsher domestic tactics to assert strength, risking deeper #crises, according to Yang."

Err .. @EUCommission - seems you can't duck away from a public statement any more.

Or #China will voice "grave concern" first.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation #FDIC is an independent agency created by the #Congress to maintain #stability and public confidence in the nation's #financial system. We have no more independent agencies. #DOGE invaded the #FDIC today and will be applying their atrocious #AI to plunder one of the last remaining secure #bank data and #statistics repositories. “The FDIC is a prudential #regulator, meaning for some banks it is the primary regulator enforcing all the capital requirements"

The loans will come at below-market interest rates, a crucial stipulation as #global #lenders usually charge much higher rates in #Africa, citing higher risks.

In an interview, Ajay Banga, the president of the #WorldBank, cast the initiative in sweeping terms where #economic #development met societal #stability & basic #HumanRights. “Without #electricity, we can’t get #jobs, #health care, skills,” he said. The success of electrification, he said, is “foundational to everything.”

“A fourth factor in #Nordic outperformance is patient shareholders. According to #McKinsey, a consultancy, four-fifths of large Nordic companies have long-term ownership, compared with three-fifths in Europe and only a fifth in America. Business dynasties play a prominent role in the region. #Maersk and #Lego are still controlled, respectively, by the founding Moller and Kristiansen families, though both firms are run day-to-day by outsiders. In #Sweden the Wallenbergs, whose fortune originated in banking, own large stakes in various companies, including #AtlasCopco and #Ericsson. Other big Nordic firms, including #Carlsberg and #NovoNordisk, are controlled by non-profit foundations.

Such arrangements have prevented foreign firms from snapping up Nordic companies, giving them more time to grow. They have also made it easier for companies to invest in their long-term success. McKinsey reckons that four-fifths of listed Nordic companies spend more on #research and #development than their rivals do elsewhere in the West. Lars Fruergaard Jorgensen, Novo Nordisk’s boss, has said that his main focus is how the company will look in ten to 20 years”

Client asked me to check their monitoring server - which also generates graphs, alerts, etc. - that I had lost track of for years. It also performs some backups of non-critical data, just for extra redundancy. They provided me with their VPN details, and I just connected:

18:25:14 up 2753 days, 4:39, 1 user, load average: 4.07, 4.11, 4.12

That is: system boot 2017-04-14 14:45

Putting security aside, I’d say the stability is definitely proven. The disks are fine, and there are no errors in the logs. Physical server running on Debian Linux.

I try to think back to the restart date of that machine, and I truly realize how much time has passed.

PS: the file system is BTRFS

“Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of #POTUS: his many #criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest in #policy & his increasingly bizarre [#weird] cast of associates.

“This unequivocal, dispiriting truth— #Trump is not fit to be president—should be enough for any voter who cares about the health of our country & the #stability of our #democracy to deny him re-election.”

How the lessons of the UK election could help Kamala Harris defeat Donald Trump

Adopting a #hero-#voter approach could make a vital difference, just as it did in the UK.

The start point is to identify & understand Harris’s
⭐️hero voters⭐️
– undecided voters who have considered Trump and live in the handful of most crucial battleground states.

The context is very different but the parallels are almost uncanny.
This group
– who in the US self-define as middle class rather than working class as the same group might in the UK
– is #struggling.
Its members believe that the middle class is #in #jeopardy,
➡️denied the dream of homeownership that previous generations took for granted,
➡️unable to cover the essentials,
➡️and hyper-aware of the cost of groceries, utilities and other bills.

Many work #multiple #jobs just to keep afloat.

As one Michigan swing voter told us last week:
⭐️“There’s less of a ‘legit’ middle class these days. People are just working, working, working – and I think that’s really unfair.”

Another voter in Pennsylvania said:
⭐️“The middle class is being eroded. You used to be able to work one job and buy a house, but those things are out of reach for people like us nowadays.”

Unsurprisingly, these voters want #change
– change that redresses the balance.
But they are also deeply insecure and want that change within a framework of #stability.

Harris can use this balancing act to her advantage, offering a combination of stability and the change voters crave.

✅By addressing concerns such as #inflation and #homeownership while promising #steady #progress,
she can present a vision that ✅contrasts with Trump’s record,
✅appealing directly to the middle class’s desire for practical, lasting change.

Like Starmer, Harris has an edge:

👉she comes from the same background as these voters.

Her middle-class upbringing and understanding of economic struggle give her a unique connection to working-class Americans.

She can own this narrative
– something that Trump’s rhetoric, despite his populist appeal, can’t match.

#Solar #energy is the
⭐️ most widely available energy resource on Earth,
and its economic attractiveness is improving fast in a cycle of #increasing #investments.

Here we use data-driven conditional technology and economic forecasting modelling to establish which zero carbon power sources could become dominant worldwide.

We find that, due to technological trajectories set in motion by past policy,
a global #irreversible solar #tipping #point may have passed where solar energy gradually comes to #dominate global #electricity #markets,
without any further climate policies.

🆘Uncertainties arise, however, over #grid #stability in a renewables-dominated power system,
the availability of #sufficient #finance in underdeveloped economies,
the capacity of #supply #chains and #political #resistance from regions that lose employment.

❇️Policies resolving these barriers may be more effective than price instruments to accelerate the transition to clean energy
