Yes , countries should learn from their neighbours... And from those who are not. One of the big puzzles of USA policy making is how little the lessons from other places figure on the debate.
RT @spignal: My Charlemagne this week is on cut-and-paste policymaking: why politicians should look at what their neighbours are doing and steal their best ideas.
AND I start with 6 schemes from across Europe that all governments ought to consider.
The winners are…🧵

Todos mis pensamientos con los ucranianos mientras los bombarderos estratégicos rusos se preparan para salir a bombardear objetivos civiles.
Debemos dar a Ucrania medios para proteger sus poblaciones. Y debemos cortarle todos los fondos a Putin.

RT @SiminaMistreanu: Crowd of at least 100 making its way to Tiananmen Square in Beijing on Sunday night, chanting, “We want universal values,” “We want freedom, equality, democracy, rule of law,” “We don’t want dictatorship,” “We don’t want personality cult.”
RT @isaacstonefish: Incredible. This photo reportedly shows two Chinese professors in Shanghai standing bravely between dozens of police and protesting students.

Could you survive a cold winter under attack, with sporadic electricity, no gas, no heating? Read this amazing thread by my friend @Mylovanov . A story of resilience in the face of Russian aggression.
RT @Mylovanov: Good evening. Day 5 after the latest Russian attack on Kyiv. Day 277 of the war. I am president of the Kyiv School of Economics, a former minister of economy of Ukraine, and a professor of economics at the University of Pittsburgh. I left the US for Ky…
RT @jsantirso: Me encuentro en las calles de Pekín, donde ahora mismo está teniendo lugar algo excepcional: cientos de estudiantes han salido a protestar contra la política de covid-cero.
La policía está presente en el lugar de los hechos, pero se mantiene inmóvil.
Corageous protestors in Russia, China and Iran remind us why dictatorships will never be superior to democracies: they don't care about their people.
- Russia sends thousands to their deaths
- China imprisons millions in their homes
- Iran murders and imprisons innocent women
What Chancellor Scholz says: "Zeitenwende," "€100bn more for army."
What he does: 2023 budget by armed forces down by €330m.
Germany is still not thinking responsibly about security.

RT @WilliamYang120: Clash between Foxconn workers and police continued for the second night in #China’s Zhengzhou, with some workers who were quarantining in the hotel also demanded to get the 10,000 RMB subsidies like others but the local government is only willing to give them 2400 RMB.
Happy to see the @ecb @Isabel_Schnabel acknowledge that unfunded deficits are a threat to price stability. The consequence that follows is clear: countries should have the right incentives to pursue fiscally sustable. Now they do not.

RT @davidfromterra: In 1631, Prague was conquered by Sweden, only to revert back to the Habsburgs six months later. France took Nancy from Burgundy in 1634 and held it for decades. Thousands of such city switches occurred throughout history. What can we learn from them? New research with Eric Weese:

RT @EricTopol: “Americans have been trained for 100 years to think that the hospital is the best place to be, the safest place. But we have strong evidence that the outcomes are actually better at home.”
The hospital-at-home movement is just getting started

RT @minesoto2003: Los datos a octubre siguen mostrando que los fondos NGEU no llegan a la economía: apenas se han adjudicado algo más de 7 mil millones de euros en 21-22, aunque se han licitado proyectos por más de 22 mil.

The tech story of 2022 to me is the huge progress of AI. GPT 3, DALLEE, now GPT-4 coming... Everyday we hear of a huge step forward. Here is another stunner.
RT @emollick: AI has been destroying humans at adversarial games, like Chess or Go, for a bit.
But now it is successfully outperforming humans at Diplomacy, the classic multiplayer game that requires natural language negotiations over chat, as well as strategic lying. https://t.co/e6V7pHQnkO
