RT @ben_moll: Already a year ago @GeorgZachmann was ringing the alarm bells about Russia weaponizing gas and keeping EU gas storages purposely low.
RT @mattyglesias: This whole line of thought that you shouldn't say things that you think are true because those things may be "weaponized" by others strikes me as fairly corrosive to intellectual life.
You can't control how other people react to things.

RT @POLITICOEurope: OPINION: While Kyiv urgently needs financial assistance from its friends in the West, Vladimir Putin is now playing a waiting game, hoping that Western governments will soon be too busy coping with a recession to care about Ukraine.

RT @timurkuran: Seven years ago, the archaeologist Khaled al-Asaad was beheaded by ISIS at the age of 83. He had been head of Antiquities at Palmyra for 40 years. His “crime” was to have hidden the artifacts in Palmyra’s museum. Tortured, he refused to disclose where he hid them. A modern hero.
Very much in agreement. The article, and much other reporting on gas prices, becomes almost unreadable with the proliferation of units.
RT @adam_tooze: Gas prices:
£5.15 a therm.
$9.40 a million British thermal units
€236 a megawatt hour
I know these units are conventional & there is no single market, but under circumstances @OilSheppard @derek_brower @FT
could we at least report using a common unit?

Stunningly courageous reporting, fabulous writing. Congratulations @cegoldbaum . Take care.
RT @cegoldbaum: In Afghanistan, hundreds of Shiite Muslims joined an uprising led by a former Taliban commander. We embedded with the rebels just as the Taliban prepared to attack their northern stronghold.

I write on financing Ukraine in @POLITICOEurope today.

RT @SteveCicala: Adding this directly to the thread on governments confusing the gas & the brake in European energy policy.
The intention is good, but this is actively discouraging conservation of scarce gas resources.

EU governments have promised much more economic help to Ukraine than they have delivered. I write in Político about how they must provide additional guarantees to unlock in September the remaining money. We cannot let Putin win his waiting game.

Escalofriantes los abusos de poder de Hacienda que documenta @cultrun. Debe ser prioritario devolver el equilibrio a la relación entre Hacienda y los contribuyentes. https://www.abc.es/economia/documental-hacienda-quiere-veas-20220814201022-nt.html#vca=compartirrrss&vso=abc&vmc=rrss&vli=fixed-twitter
RT @AlecStapp: Not enough people are aware of just how broken our immigration system is
Qué maravilla de entrevista, con pausa y tiempo, de @davidmejiaNY a @cayetanaAT.

RT @KashifMD: Pakistani friends, you can disagree with Ahmadi theology and yet passionately condemn our persecution. No difference of belief justifies the ongoing apartheid. #AhmadiApartheid
Free speech is a basic pillar of our free societies. Salman #rushdie ha fought too often on his own against murderers and tyrants. Our thoughts and prayers must be with him yes, but also with the cause he is fighting for for decades.
RT @thijsreuten: ⚪️🔴⚪️ Marking the two year anniversary this week of the relentless dictator Lukashenka stealing the elections from the Belarus people, I wrote this👇🏼article in 🇳🇱 newspaper @volkskrant together with Ardy Beld. — 1/2
One more in the wonderful list of substitution examples by @ben_moll illustrating how market economies are about ingenuity and adaptation - in this case, to high gas prices.
RT @ben_moll: 28. A case from the heavily gas-dependent aluminum industry.
German engineers are smart and inventive. Unfortunately the lobbyists pretended that they are not.

Congratulations and good luck in your new policy role in the German @SVR_Wirtschaft , @umalmend !
RT @FAZ_NET: Ulrike Malmendier ist die erfolgreichste deutsche Ökonomin in Amerika. Im Interview mit @JoPennekamp und @SveaJunge erklärt sie, warum sie als „Wirtschaftsweise“ in ihre Heimat zurückkehrt und warum krawallige Debatten auf Twitter nicht ihr Ding sind. https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/wirtschaftsweise-ulrike-malmendie…
@M_C_Klein Maybe they are paying in €? 😉
