This is adjusted for inflation.

Well duh, we consume more oil but we need a lot less of it to produce the same, is the point.

The big difference in this crisis vs. the oil crises from the past is that the world economy now needs a lot less oil to run.

The Gordon Ramsay series is definitely my kind of jam when it comes to guilty pleasures, food stuff, top chefs stuff. But my god, a six-hour ad for a new restaurant is a bit much isn't it?

Number of mentions in the titles of published books?

It makes sense to gloat about how Bitcoin has no intrinsic value when it crashes, I agree completely with it. But just realise that has nothing to do with its price, eventually it will surge again and you'll have to deal with the other guys doing exactly the same, it's a very obnoxious cycle.

How is this a real account

Those people are taking the fucking piss on so many levels that it's a wonder we don't have guillotines back in the streets yet.

Incredible numbers out of Spain. The Eurozone labour market IS the Spanish labour market.

If you loved that shining beacon of stability and prosperity that was the UK in 2022 you're going to love your new Reform government.

Maybe time for a name change.

Two ways to look at the Free Trade Agreement with India, "the mother of all deals":

- It's an absolute nothingburger at the macro level right now for Europe.

- But, the potential for growth is huge given the very low starting point and India's growth prospects.

It's 2026 in America and a bunch of masked goons can literally execute you on the streets with the full support of the government. I don't think we're really capable of fully comprehend the gravity of the situation yet, it will take years to look back to be able to show how insane this was.

Looks like it's time for another State Visit!

Next up the list for Trump

It's hard not to be cynical about the science ("science?") when the analysis is "blah blah nonsense extreme scenarios but a plausible one is 0.3"

This may be a plain vanilla take but the Union Jack is a really cool design. If only it had a dragon to represent Wales, it would kick major ass.

Is that the same military alliance led by a guy gushing about people calling Trump their daddy?

Don't worry UK friends, it's only two more months of pure winter misery. After that it's one month of hoping to catch a glimmer of light, then the occasional glorious day in spring and boom, it's summer. Which let's face it, it's not that great but feels like heaven for us poor tortured bastards.

If you allow thugs to murder with impunity, guess what, thugs will murder with impunity.

Got it, didnt realised you meant the 77bn as the increase, not the accumulated sum, looked very small, thanks!

Or is $77bn the total US deficit, not the deficit with the EU?

Where are you getting $77bn, I have $191bn January to October?

Uno de los indicadores que muestra la salud de la economía de manera más intuitiva es la venta de coches, que crecieron un 13% en 2025. Aquí se ve claro por ejemplo, como recuperación inicial post-pandemia era en parte efecto estadístico y por impulso externo, y mucho más sólida desde 2023.

I'd love to see which European government is going to make the first move of sending troops to Greenland as a deterrent against the US.

I said realistically.

So if the US actually decided to take over Greenland with some bs pretext, what can Europe do apart from "strongly urging not to"? I mean realistically. This is the burning question no one has a clear answer to.

Ni cotiza que vamos a tener un artículo de opinión más temprano que tarde pidiendo que EEUU haga lo mismo en España que ha hecho en Venezuela.

Happy New Year to all those starting potty training a two-year old today! (admittedly a niche group)

Nothing hard to believe about France protecting their farmers 😒

Then I will have to settle on yelling at cyclists running through red lights I guess.
