Very frustrated that Europe apparently is "tiring" of war, and our leaders are leading us towards appeasement. This is happening in Europe in 2022.
RT @lapatina_: This is #Mariupol. Dead bodies of Ukrainians rot at a supermarket. There are so many dead that there isn’t a capacity to bury them, even considering mass graves and mobile crematoriums. This should tell you everything you need to know about Russia’s war in Ukraine
In this excellent interview, Ed Glaeser argues returning to cities is necessary, specially for younger people. To explain the mechanism he cites a "superb paper" but @tunkuv does not link or mention it. It is indeed superb. Link in next tweet. https://www.wsj.com/articles/big-cities-will-suffer-if-workers-stay-home-remote-labor-young-old-finance-college-11653664888?st=y1u5cma8ja40syc&reflink=share_mobilewebshare
RT @HannoLustig: The number of oil tankers that can ship Russian oil from the Baltic ports to Asia is limited. Simply not true that Putin would easily find another way to get his oil to Asia and finance his butchery. He needs the EU shipping companies to get the oil to Asia.
RT @HannoLustig: Lots of editorials in Europe about power of the US gun lobby. I agree. But what about the EU's shipping lobby? The EU shipping industry represents only about 1% of EU GDP. Their lobby is strong enough to allow them to keep shipping Putin's oil around the world with impunity.
Extremely eloquent Krugman on guns and the demented absurdity of Republican proposals to militarize all schools and supermarkets.

Transport sanctions deleted from the 6th sanctions package at the request of Greece-- allowing Greek tankers carry 63% of the Russian oil volume.
Not only we don´t stop buying Russian oil-- we helpfully transport it around the world.

RT @DevesaCarpio: Escoger los 25 mejores años de cotización de 35 elevaría la pensión un 6,5% y el gasto un 0,67% más. https://cincodias.elpais.com/cincodias/2022/05/26/economia/1653581563_812099.html
RT @joachim_voth: unbelievable -- German newspaper SZ publishing this caricature of President Zhelensky at the World Economic Forum; facial features completely distorted, reminiscent of the worst anti-Semitic cartoons in "Der Stürmer". All at the same time while Germany is stalling on weapons...
This drawing of (Jewish President) @ZelenskyyUa in Davos belongs in the 1930s @SZ
RT @xileffff: Der jüdische Präsident Selenskyj geifernd, übergroß und mächtig im Hintergrund des „World Economic Forum“. Ist das wirklich eine gute Idee @SZ?

RT @RenewEurope: Putin & the criminal oligarchs in his regime must help pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine!
We've campaigned for ambitious proposals that allow the EU to legally confiscate sanctioned assets.
We welcome @EU_Commission's initiatives to reinforce the EU's capacity to act!👇
Muchas gracias, a Antonio Sirvent (y a otros muchos artesanos como él), por el cariño y la dedicación con la qué haces tus maravillosos helados en Cambrils (Tarragona) - cada ingrediente tiene su historia, cada sabor sus largos años de refinamiento. Qué maravilla.
En la visita, J.A. Gago, DG de Ascó y Vandellos, nos explicó cómo se ha reforzado la seguridad para que la planta pueda hacer frente simultáneamente a un tsunami, terremoto y caída de electricidad, simulando Fukushima.
La nuclear es una fuente de energía segura. Los datos muestran que la nuclear es 40 veces más segura que el gas y 350 veces más que el carbón.
Ayer visité la Central Nuclear de Vandellòs II (Tarragona).
La energía nuclear es una fuente de energía limpia y segura, imprescindible para la transición energética. Abro HILO con bonus sobre la extraña posición de Iberdrola👇

The money keeps flowing to Putin!

RT @OperadorNuclear: En un cambio histórico, el Partido Verde de Finlandia 🇫🇮 votó abrumadoramente a favor de adoptar una postura totalmente pronuclear en su reunión nacional. El manifiesto del partido afirma que la energía nuclear es una «energía sostenible».

30 years since the assassination by the Mafia of two of the best men who ever lived, Falcone and (two months later) Borsellino. The Italian state did not deserve such corageous and integer servants.
RT @NickWhithorn: 30 years ago, on 23 May 1992, Giovanni Falcone is assassinated, along with Francesca Morvillo, Vito Schifani, Rocco Dicillo and Antonio Montanaro. This thread tells the story of how he is undermined, isolated & abandone…
La mortalidad relacionada con el alcohol es muy baja donde la gente "sabe beber": el alcohol se consume de forma social y sin pasarse (España, Grecia, Italia).

Una oportunidad histórica que, temo, que terminaremos "invirtiéndo" en ladrillos: 7 de los primeros 10 sectores adjudicatarios son construcción, demoliciones, obras, etc.(@esadecpol)
