Presumably the guy had to go trough some sort of "security clearance" to get a job like that, so someone fucked up.

 

From the description:

"I'm Andres Acevedo and this is The Market Exit. During the migration crisis of 2015, the small country of Sweden admitted a very large number of refugees. What effects did this surge of migrants to Swedish have on the Swedish economy? To find out, I met professor Peo Hansen, author of the book "A Modern Migration Theory" and from our conversation, I realized that many of the economic models we use for assessing our economy and society are deeply flawed.

In the conversation, we talk about the field of research called the fiscal impact of migration. We talk about the difference between real resources and financial resources. We talk about the so-called brain drain within the European Union. We talk about why politicians are so afraid of speaking the truth about migration."

Wish you were too. Amazing how such a monumental decision could be taken on a simple majority vote, and without a plan on what would happen next.

Could it be that Farage & Johnson are actually underpants gnomes?

  1. Leave the EU
  2. ???
  3. Profit
 

PARIS, Oct 3 (Reuters) - The European Commission is suing EU member states Spain, Cyprus, Poland and Portugal for failing to implement rules aimed at ensuring a global minimum level of taxation for multinational companies, it said on Thursday. All four countries were required to enforce the necessary laws by the end of 2023, the Commission said, adding that they had failed to notify it on any such step. Spanish Budget Minister Maria Jesus Montero said Spain was a "pioneer" in the push for a minimum tax for multinational companies and would comply with the EU requirements in the coming months, with parliament expected to approve new legislation by the end of the year. "We have a regulation that currently includes the 15% tax... but there are other things that need to be incorporated, which is what the Commission is referring to," she said. Contacted by Reuters, the Portuguese government had no immediate comment.

No it isn't. Copy error it seems. But the article isn't paywalled is it?

They are claiming potential sabotage by a Chinese company supplying machines. Not sure I buy that, but it's interesting. I'll see if I can find the link.

Edit. Not where I read it, but it's in English so it'll have to do. https://www.resetera.com/threads/massive-swedish-battery-producer-northvolt-could-be-facing-sabotage-by-chinese-government.981816/

I see what you did.

Because the UK chose to not be a part of the single market anymore, so goods they UK wish to export into the EU needs to be treated like any other 3rd country goods with checks and certifications to prove that they are good enough, but with NI still part of the single market as well as the UK, this label was the best solution they could come up with to avoid having to check everything going from the UK to NI. Without the label trade friction will be lower between Ireland and NI, which will please republicans, but not unionists I think.

Not mad at all. I'm just saying that I'll avoid posting images/memes going forward. I'll still keep posting the links I find interesting and somewhat relevant to the Europe community.

I appreciate the work you and the mod team is doing.
