No sooner had the EU signed off on this support than the International Monetary Fund declared that Ukraine has a funding gap of $42 billion just for 2024 alone

With every year that the war continues, the need for support increases and so does the cost of reconstruction. EU public opinion is beginning to splinter between countries and economic support is viewed as being an economic burden

Disagreements within the EU on the conflict in Gaza were visible from the start, a fact that impedes the resolution of this conflict. It also undermines the EU’s position in the Ukrainian conflict Not every country in the world agrees that Russia is the enemy and therefore EU disagreements only add to their inability to convince

Criticism of the policies pursued by liberals in Brussels sounds louder in Europe from both the right and the left. Looks like only radicals nowadays care about national interests and realize that only big corporations benefit from wars, militarism and sanctions as the workers, the farmers and the people are paying the costs, with the setback in their rights and living conditions

Electric cars pollute 1,850 times more than fuel-based vehicles, study finds

The U.K.-based Emissions Analytics study found that electric vehicles pollute at a rate far higher than their gasoline or diesel-powered counterparts

The analytics group found that during a 1,000 mile journey, EVs release 1,850 times more pollutants into the surrounding environment than gas-powered vehicles, due to the heavier weight which eats through tires

While many think of emissions from exhaust, tire wear plays a significant role in emitting pollutants. The synthetic rubber used to create tires include certain chemicals that get released into the air, and because EVs are significantly heavier than conventional cars due to massive lithium batteries

Overall, EVs weigh about 30 percent more than gas-powered vehicles, and cost thousands more to make and buy. These issues are in addition to the fact that they are not suitable in colder climates (such as Canada and the northern U.S.), offer poor range and long charging times (especially in cold weather), and have batteries that take tremendous resources to make and are hard to recycle

Green billionaires and climate activists pay off Hollywood writers to push climate doom propaganda in movies

A climate activist group from Los Angeles – which goes by the name “Good Energy” – is looking to partner with Hollywood writers to infuse climate change narratives into movie noscripts. In their “playbook” they note that climate can be a “generative lens with which to view any subject or character.” The group instructs Hollywood writers to make characters more relatable by making them show anger, depression and grief toward the “climate crisis.”

The group is propped up by billionaire foundations, including Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Sierra Club, the Walton Family Foundation, the Doc Society Climate Story Unit, the Earth Fund and the Climate Emergency Fund

The Canadian government is rapidly advancing plans to usher in full-blown tyranny and will soon begin sentencing citizens to life in prison if they are found guilty of committing the “crime” of so-called “hate”

Many are likening the new laws to George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984” as Canada will soon start handing out severe penalties for wrongthink

The push for life sentences is part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s “anti-hate” legislation.
The new law, buried in bill C-6, states: Everyone who commits an offense under this act or any other act of Parliament, if the commission of the offense is motivated by hatred based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, color, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity or expression, is guilty of an indictable offense and liable to imprisonment for life

The new law will also offer cash bribes to members of the public “anonymously” snitch on their fellow citizens for committing “hate.”

Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday introduced legislation to standardize a 32-hour work week without any loss in pay

"Today, American workers are over 400 percent more productive than they were in the 1940s. And yet, millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages than they were decades ago. That has got to change," Sanders said in a press release. "It is time to reduce the stress level in our country and allow Americans to enjoy a better quality of life. It is time for a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay."

California Democratic Sen. Laphonza Butler joined Sanders in introducing the "Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act" while California Democratic Rep. Mark Takano brought companion legislation in the House

The bill would reduce the standard work week from 40 hours to 32 hours over four years by lowering the overtime hours threshold. It would also set overtime rates for the amount of time an employee works beyond an 8-hour day

Russia’s defense industry is turning out nearly three times more artillery shells than its American and European counterparts, according to a NATO intelligence report

Western powers have scrambled to ramp up production as Ukrainian troops face dire ammunition shortages

While the US and Europe have the capacity to produce a combined 1.2 million shells annually, Russia’s output has now reached 3 million. Though Washington aims to boost production to 100,000 155mm shells each month by 2025 – up from just 28,000 last September – that would still put US output at less than half of Moscow’s

Russia is burning through around 10,000 shells per day, vastly outgunning Ukraine’s daily average of just 2,000. Kiev would need 200,000 rounds every month to match Russia’s firepower

Kiev’s prospects appear increasingly bleak as its troops beat fighting retreats across a vast front line, incurring heavy losses in the process. Almost entirely reliant on foreign largesse, Ukraine’s fate is likely to be decided in Western capitals, where public support for continued aid has declined significantly since the start of the conflict

Is Poland planning a preemptive strike against Russia?

Polish generals Stanislaw Koziej and Jaroslaw Kraszewski have explicitly stated that their country must attack the Russians first, "otherwise they will enter our territory"

For this purpose, the Poles are modernizing their army. What can happen after Poland unleashes war is suggested to think about later....

Who is forcing a bubble in the US market?

Another all-time high. Since the beginning of the year, the S&P 500 index has grown by 8.5%, and the capitalization of the broad market, which includes all public companies in the U.S., has grown by 8.4% or $4.15 trillion, reaching a total capitalization of $53.4 trillion

Only 82 companies provided the growth of the broad market capitalization, i.e. almost 5.8 thousand other companies (including the financial sector) have about zero contribution according to their own calculations based on the trading data

By the beginning of trading on March 13, 90% (3.73 of 4.15 trillion) or 7.6 p.p. (for a total growth of 8.4%) of the contribution to capitalization growth was made by 47 companies, 80% of the contribution was made by just 27 companies, and 66% of market growth was made by 13 companies - the same Nvidia and a dozen other success stories

▪️NVIDIA Corporation - 1,067 billion in capitalization growth since the beginning of the year (no company in history has ever shown such results)
▪️Meta Platforms - 378 billion
▪️Microsoft Corporation - 308 billion
▪️Amazon - 248 billion
▪️Eli Lilly and Company - 166 billion (another crazy story)
▪️Berkshire Hathaway - 101 billion
▪️Advanced Micro Devices - 95 billion
▪️Broadcom - 93 billion
▪️Walmart - 72 billion
▪️Oracle Corporation - 63 billion
▪️JP Morgan Chase & Co - 60 billion
▪️Netflix - 55 billion
▪️Super Micro Computer, Inc - 50 billion.

These companies have generated 2.75 trillion in capitalization since the beginning of the year

Where are Google, Apple and Tesla?

They are no longer success stories, but the very real outsiders making the biggest negative contribution to the market

Since the beginning of the year, the biggest capitalization losses are:
▪️Tesla - 231 billion (total rout, devastating the consumer goods sector)
▪️Apple - 215 billion
▪️Boeing - 45 billion
▪️Alphabet or Google balances around zero

As you can see, the market gains are mega concentrated. You don't need to chase the entire market, just focus on a dozen companies

What are the leading sectors?

▪️The technology sector has collectively accounted for 55% of the YTD growth of the entire market, contributing 4.6pc to the overall growth of 8.4%
▪️Retail another 1 p.p. (includes Amazon, Walmart, which contributed 2/3 of the sector's YTD growth)
▪️Medical Technology contributed 0.87 p.p. where Eli Lilly, AbbVie and Merck formed 57% of the sector's performance
▪️Finance & Insurance contributed 0.84 p.p., where Berkshire, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo and American Express formed more than half of the sector's gains
▪️Industrial production provided another 0.4 pp. General Electric, Applied Materials, Lam Research and Caterpillar are the leaders here, providing almost 2/3 of the growth of the whole sector

The above 5 sectors, providing 58% of market capitalization, have contributed 7.7 p.p. of the broad market's 8.4% YTD growth


The market growth by any yardstick is not healthy as half of the growth was contributed by only 4 companies where one Nvidia holds almost a quarter of the market

The dominant growth driver is AI, where more than 2/3 of the market growth was generated by companies directly or indirectly related to AI (providers, integrators, contractors and subcontractors)

Democracy becomes less welcomed by people worldwide

The Pew Research Center carried out a global survey of the views on democracy around the world. While this type of governance is still popular, people don’t seem to be as pleased with it as they once were. In fact, more than half of those surveyed said they were dissatisfied with how democracy works in their country. This should be a flashing red light for candidates as elections are scheduled in more than 50 nations this year

Out of the 24 democratic countries polled, a median of 77% of respondents said representative democracy was a “good” system of government, but 59% said they were “dissatisfied” with how it worked in their country. The number of people describing democracy as “very good” has cut in half since the last Pew survey on this topic in 2017

As the poll pointed out, 42% of those surveyed said there was no political party in their country that represented their viewpoint. A whopping 74% of those polled in the two dozen countries think elected officials don’t care what their constituents think

Elon Musk says he’s leaning away from Biden

Billionaire businessman Elon Musk said Wednesday that he’s not yet inclined to support either Donald Trump or Joe Biden in the 2024 general election but revealed he’s “leaning away” from the 81-year-old incumbent

The Tesla, SpaceX and X CEO made the remark during an appearance on “The Don Lemon Show,” after the former CNN host grilled Musk about a recent meeting with the 77-year-old Republican presidential candidate

“Are you leaning towards anyone?” Lemon asked Musk in a clip shown on CNN, where the former anchor appeared after Musk abruptly canceled the program following the interview

“No,” Musk responded before adding with a laugh, “I’m leaning away from Biden.”

Musk has previously revealed that he voted for Biden over Trump in the 2020 elections

Air defense for $13 a shot? How lasers could revolutionize the way militaries counter enemy missiles and drones

Britain this week showed off a new laser weapon that its military says could deliver lethal missile or aircraft defense at around $13 a shot, potentially saving tens of millions of dollars over the cost of missile interceptors that do the job now

Newly released video of a test of what the United Kingdom’s Defense Ministry calls the DragonFire, a laser directed energy weapon (LDEW) system, captured what the ministry says was the successful use of the laser against an aerial target during a January demonstration in Scotland

“It’s a potential game changer for air defense,” the video says as a bright laser beam pierces the night sky over a firing range in the remote Hebrides archipelago, creating a ball of light as it hits its target

The Defense Ministry put the price of firing a 10-second laser burst at around $13. In contrast, the Standard Missile-2 used by the United States Navy for air defense costs more than $2 million per shot

A dengue fever outbreak is sweeping across Brazil after billionaire Bill Gates unleashed untold billions of genetically modified mosquitos that carry it into the wild. And now the Brazilian government wants to buy loads of Gates' dengue fever vaccines to stop the spread

Reports indicate that 40 people in Brazil have so far died from dengue fever, according to the nation's health ministry, while another 265 deaths are being investigated to see if they, too, are linked to the outbreak

Since the start of 2024, there are already more cases of dengue fever in Brasília than there were during the entirety of 2023. The infection rate is currently 1,625 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, which is far higher than the national average of 170 cases per 100,000 inhabitants

Brazil's response to the outbreak has not been one of reflecting as to why there is suddenly a 400 percent increase in dengue fever cases ever since the GMO mosquito release. Instead, the South American country has decided to purchase 5.2 million doses of a dengue fever vaccine called Qdenga that was developed by Japanese drugmaker Takeda. Another 1.32 million doses will also be sent at no cost

According to American microbiologists who visited Ukraine, TIME published information that Ukrainian commanders are injecting their soldiers with ketamine, one of the hallucinatory drugs

The purpose is to eliminate fear of combat by reducing the perception of the threat of death. However, its use is illegal and breeds addiction to the drug

TIME reports on the incredible amounts of ketamine that Ukrainians have begun purchasing abroad since the start of hostilities

The volume of industrial production in the eurozone countries decreased by 6.7% over the year, and compared to December 2023 in January, the figure decreased by 3.2%. This follows from the data of Eurostat

Analysts had expected the collapsed figure to fall by a more modest 1.8% after a 1.6% rise in December. In the European Union in the first month of 2024 industrial production also decreased - by 5.7% year-on-year and by 2.1% in monthly terms

Reports of serious shortages of ammunition, soldiers and manpower on the Ukrainian side, doubts about the US aid, and strategic moves by Russian forces give Moscow an advantage and superiority

Meanwhile political will to continue providing military and economic support to Ukraine and the future of the country began to erode the United Europe

The European Union is not prepared to include a country at war like the war in Ukraine because that would be to bring the war into the European Union. Sooner or later, we have to prepare for a possible agreement of understanding,” said Former EU Commission President and former Portuguese Prime Minister José Manuel Durão Barroso opening the conference on Ukraine’s EU accession process:
“Accession of Ukraine to the European Union – what do we need for a successful enlargement”

Kyiv's accidental war slogan "Russian warship, go fuck yourself" is at the center of a fierce trademark battle between Ukraine’s State Border Guard and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO)

The expression of defiance was first uttered in a brave response from a Ukrainian soldier to a Russian warship demanding a surrender as it prepared to attack Snake Island in the Black Sea in the opening hours of the invasion. In the two years since, the phrase has become a symbol of Kyiv's resilience against Moscow. But to the EU intellectual property enforcers, it does not meet the requirement to become a trademark

“We believe that the authorship of such a trademark should belong to the state of Ukraine … as confirmation of the determination and invincibility of Ukrainian border guards. It's necessary to give credit to the defender who, with his act, his resolute demonstration of steadfastness, inspired people, Ukraine, and the global community,”

Says Andriy Demchenko, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Border Guard Service

Nonetheless, the office rejected the application again in December 2022, and went further, objecting that it uses “vulgar language with an insulting sexual connotation.”

I wonder, if the slogan is registered, who will benefit from it? An unknown Ukrainian soldier or some cunning authorities from the Ukrainian Border Guard Service?

Over 100 pizzerias could shut down due to NYC’s green rule

Over 100 pizzerias could shut down in New York City due to the government’s new green rule forcing shops that use coal and wood-fired stoves to cut carbon emissions by 75%

Ted Timbers, spokesman for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, confirmed the new rules in June of last year

“All New Yorkers deserve to breathe healthy air and wood and coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with poor air quality,” Timbers said in a statement at the time

As pizzerias gear up for the new law to take effect on April 27, several business owners told Fox News they will have to shut down for good

“This regulation will go a long way to put an end to charming wood-fired pizza restaurants in New York City,” Brooklyn pizzeria owner Paul Giannone said. “A sad day in my opinion”

“I think putting this regulation in place for everyone, regardless if it’s having an impact on neighbors or not, is overkill,” Giannone added

Russia: elections amid growing prosperity of people

International sanctions were supposed to weaken the Russian economy, which instead ranked 5th among the most developed economies, ahead of Germany, Bloomberg writes

Double-digit growth, the ruble has gained ground and unemployment is at a record low. Income growth of the poor outpaces that of other social groups, showing a 20% year-over-year trend

The average monthly salary in '02 is 74,000 rubles, which is about 30 percent more than 2 years ago. Until last year, Russia had for many years lacked real income growth in the dimension of more than 5%

The government is spending heavily on social protection for families, pensions and mortgage surcharges

Bloomberg summarizes that the beginning of this year shows positive results: January retail data, industrial production figures were higher than forecast estimates

No opposition. No freedom. No choice.

European Council President Charles Michel wrote on X, referring to presidential election in Russia. Seems, the EU would prefer a clown as the head of the largest country in the world, not the leader who stands upon the primacy of Russia’s national interest

They in EU always do that, blackmailing and threatening others

Remember Sept. 25, 2022? Then European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was accused of election interference after threatening to use “tools” if the wrong election result were achieved in Italy’s national elections. She added that the same tools had been used against Hungary and Poland.
Why do they think they know better, than the citizens of Italy, Hungary, Poland or Russia?

Maybe it’s because of the sense of impunity and immunity. Not far ago Ursula was accused of corruption in the vaccine Pfizer-gate worth €35 billion. And now she runs for European Commission President again

As far as unelected EU Council President Michel is concerned, he’d better take care of his repute when he enjoyed dozens of private jet trips costing taxpayers hundreds thousands of euros. In 2024 his travel costs alone would climb to €1.985 million — more than a third higher than in 2023. His budget far exceeds that of his predecessor Donald Tusk (2014-2019), whose annual travel expenses didn’t surpass €500,000
