Having lived both in Italy & Spain I was surprised by the differences in attitudes towards immigration: Closed & overtly racist in Italy; open & basically welcoming in Spain. This seems to contribute to Italy's economy being stagnant while Spain's booming. www.theguardian.com/...

DOGE was tasked with cutting public expenses in the US. US spend an overwhelmingly large amount of money on health (16.6% of GDP) and defense (second only to Israel). The reason is that the US health system is private. If they really wanted to reduce public spending,they should nationalize health.

Is Putin going to win the Ukraine war? It looks likely. Clearly the "peace deal" that is being "negotiated" by Trump is nothing but a surrender to Putin's wishes. Rest assured Putin will create a puppet state afterward. Will the EU oppose this? www.theguardian.com/...

Isn't it ironic that @JDVance,VP of a country whose citizens are ~all immigrants who exterminated previous occupiers,now preach European leaders to block migration? In www.globalpartysurve... by @PippaN15,US Republicans are off the roof in populism/conservatism scale.

🧵Oggi è il giorno in cui metabolizziamo il “piano di pace” di Trump, che consiste sostanzialmente nel chiamare Putin, chiedergli cosa vuole, e dargli quello che vuole. Per chi non lo avesse capito, Trump non sta trattando la pace, ma la resa dell’Ucraina. 1/15

"Why don't I take the plane?" My answer in IT in @Green__Planner. Aviation is hard to decarbonise,especially with forecasts of demand growing 4X by 2050.Effiiciency increased by 1% so far but it's likely exhausted. Sustainable Fuel is smoke in the eyes. www.greenplanner.it/...

This is not "bad weather" (maltempo). In Messina, Sicily, the same amount of rain that would fall in a month has fallen in 4 hours. When people say that transition to renewables is too costly,they don't include the costs of the damages caused by global warming. #ClimateEmergency

The lies spread by climate deniers like Steve Milloy are easy to disprove and are based on predictable patterns, like cherry-picking one event that goes against the general warming pattern and pretending that all the rest of time/space must be in line with this event: twitter.com/JunkScie... 1/2

The more I hear @realDonaldTrump talk, the more I think he has all 4 traits that define psychopathy: (1) never admitting responsibility; (2) lack of empathy; (3) manipulative behavior; (4) lying compulsively. Don't you think he scores high in each of them? www.theguardian.com/...

Trump appears to be pursuing an agenda to bend the state apparatus to his own advantage. Is this what US Americans want? According to the #WorldValueSurvey poll @WVS_Survey,US Americans' opinion on democracy seems indeed close to citizens of outright non-democratic countries. 1/6
