Democratic Socialist, “hard core, godless Communists”, wins Colorado primary

Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old first-time candidate, endorsed by progressive Vermont senator Bernie Sanders and California Democratic congressman Ro Khanna. 

She was backed by Justice Democrats, the group that helped catapult Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Congress in 2018.

Her victory comes a week after three congressional candidates backed by New York City’s mayor Zohran Mamdani swept their Democratic primaries, ousting two sitting lawmakers from the party.

US President Donald Trump last week called Democratic Socialists “hard core, godless Communists”

Annika Ström Melin: Nej tack till superstat – men... en toppstyrd mardröm.

Sverige har varit en del av EU under drygt trettio år, men efter konfrontationerna mellan Ja och Nej i folkomröstningarna om medlemskapet och euron har det varit förunderligt tyst.

Två nyutkomna böcker. Carl-Vincent Reimers, programansvarig på marknadsliberala tankesmedjan Timbro, och Susanna Kierkegaard, ledarskribent på Aftonbladet.

Reimers och Kierkegaard syresätter debatten om EU i Sverige, men varför är författarna så förtjusta i orden superstat och supermakt? 

Sådant signalerar stark centralmakt och kamp om världsherravälde och åt det hållet ska Europa inte gå.

Jag saknar också den viktiga frågan om medborgarnas inflytande över beslutsfattandet. Glöm inte att EU växer och kan bli en sammanslutning på upp till 35 medlemsstater.

Pfizer in 2019 sold $20 billion of drugs in the U.S. Its federal tax bill? Zero; Ireland

Trump has already singled out pharma companies and countries like Ireland that reap the benefits of tax-avoidance moves.  Despite its small size, Ireland ran an $87 billion trade surplus with the U.S. last year—larger than any country except China, Mexico and Vietnam. https://www.wsj.com/health/pharma/how-trumps-tariffs-could-upend-pharmas-overseas-tax-strategy-5b8ca758 Is Ireland vulnerable again as the world’s vast shadow banking system starts to crack? Shadow banking is the dog that has not barked during the latest global spasm of financial stress. This is very fortunate, especially for small countries such as Ireland that have bet the farm on this industry. https://englundmacro.blogspot.com/2023/04/is-ireland-vulnerable-again-as-worlds.html Cayman Islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Islands What the heck is happening in the Cayman Islands?

Cognitive blind spots

Bild
Cognitive blind spots are undermining our ability to see the world as it is, rather than as we would like it to be. At the start of the 21st century, western elites generally assumed that globalisation, democracy and the free market were self-evidently good, and would keep spreading, creating peace. N o longer.  FIS, Swiss Federal Intelligence Service, has published a manual about cognitive blind spots. 18 different cognitive biases that hamper our thinking, such as “group think” (adhering to the cosy assumptions of our tribe), “anchoring” (relying exclusively on whatever information we see first, say on social media),  “confirmation bias” (only seeing data that reinforces pre-existing views),  “mirror imaging” (assuming others think like us),  “absence of evidence” bias (failing to think about the data we lack)  and “survivorship bias” (judging data only with success stories, not failures).
