"Nepal is a fragile democracy trying — sometimes clumsily, sometimes bravely — to strengthen norms," writes Monik Bhatta. "America is a powerful democracy acting as if norms are optional accessories."

La genesi di questa particolare classe di stelle era alla base di una controversia aperta da decenni. Uno studio guidato dall’Università di Bologna e dall’Inaf, pubblicato su Nature Communications, ha trovato ora una soluzione.
Naast mijn werk heb ik besloten iets nog veel nuttigers te gaan te doen en deel te namen aan de politiek via Volt. En dapper mee te doen aan de komende verkiezingen.
Wij in Houten hebben nu ook een eigen mastodon account. Wij hopen dat mensen die geïnteresseerd zijn in Houten en Volt ons gaan volgen via @volthouten
Graag boosten, want wij willen mensen bereiken en dat kan alleen via jullie 🙂
Top! Dankjewel. En goed dat er een registratie is. Kan ik ook wat anderen vinden en volgen.
Wij zoeken overigens naar een betere server. Aanbevelingen mogen. Hebben een vraag uitstaan bij de Waag, maar het kan best zijn dat zij geen politieke clubs willen hosten.
Stiekem wil ik een Europese Volt mastodon server, maar daar moet ik intern achteraan.
Scott Bessent replied to a question on Danish investments by saying that ‘Denmark’s investment in US treasury bonds, like Denmark itself, is irrelevant’
simply dumping US debt on large scale can backfire. Flooding the market with US treasury and stocks means selling them for a discount, which can compound losses both for the US and for the EU (especially considering how still tightly connected our financial systems are). It’s the nuclear option with its mutually assured destruction.
It doesn’t mean however that we can’t get creative with more harmful actions 🙂
Private divestment: A lot of US debt in the EU is actually in private hands rather than governments or large banks (think of all those who invest into Silicon Valley stocks for example, all the banks that provide basic investment plans pegged against indexes composed mostly by US companies, all pension funds etc.). We as individuals actually have a lot of power. Private individuals who own US stocks or treasuries should sell them. It can trigger a cascade sell that may not be mutually harmful enough as the nuclear option, but still harmful enough to erode the US economy, push up American yields, deficit and inflation (and a country that needs to pay its compounding debts and manage eroding purchasing power at home is a country that can’t bite very hard outside of its borders). Plus, the American stocks and treasury markets look already a bit bubbly at the moment, they may just need a little nudge 🙂
Rating and ranking: Given the current political situation, EU rating agencies and market authorities may simply worsen the outlook for American financial products and/or increase their risk. Since banks and funds are usually bound not to have too many risky assets in their portfolios, it’s basically an indirect way to discourage investment into US products, or trigger sales of their inventory at least to the point where they meet the security thresholds.
Reinvest in the EU: The funds that are taken away from US financial products can be reinvested in EU indices. This can be the big push that Eurobonds have been waiting for decades. Instead of investing into Google and Apple, invest into Adyen, Zalando, Spotify, ASML etc. Instead of financing American debt, finance your own countries (preferably through instruments for common debt). And encourage the movement by temporarily reducing taxation on EU financial products while increasing the friction for the purchase of US treasuries and stocks.
Relatedly here's the unnecessary code I removed, something that I've learned to do from being here on the fedi: ?si=jFJV3m6abH7uzRGS I don't understand it but folks here say that it does some kind of tracking. All I know is (1) the link works without it so it isn't essential & (2) never trust google. If I live long enough to experience liberated computing, that would feel so good. If you live somewhere that's not awful please promote this idea.

#Billionaires are spending massive sums on #politics. A backlash brews. Protesters and counterprotesters showed up in Brookville, Indiana, reflecting a debate rippling across the country. Political debates about the influence of the very #wealthy are not new in #America; as far back as the late 1800s, the power of John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and others sparked criticism and condemnation washingtonpost.com/politics/20… archive.ph/PiyDa
