USA i den nuværende forfatning er en ikke land man skal bygge (dele af) sin forsyningssikkerhed på. Det kræver - igen - nogle investeringer og ofre, men EU har nok behov for øget uafhængighed af både Kina, Rusland og - ja - USA ift. centrale ressourcer og produktion.

Det er nogle interessante - lettere skræmmende tal Nyhan her præsenterer.

The Dallas Fed's Manufacturing Activity Index records comments every month from its respondents (factories in southern NM, TX, and northern LA). These typically run pretty far to the right of the WSJ Editorial page. Anyhow, here's what they're saying this month: www.dallasfed.org/research/sur...

American science is under attack. This includes everything from cuts to censorship. This will likely have damaging consequences for fields ranging from medical science to agricultral from national defense to economics. See this letter from the Director of the NIH: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/o...

Bodø/Glimt leverer fortsat spændende resultater europæisk. Denne afslutning - hvor de første udligner den samlede stilling, sparker sig til avancement og derefter lukker Twente tilbage på 4-5 minutter er alligevel lidt vildere 🥳 Fodbold er en skøn sport.
