#BREAKING Deutschland blockiert das EU-Klimaziel und riskiert das Pariser Abkommen.

Die Abstimmung zum EU Klimagesetz wird auf den Sankt-Nimmerleinstag verschoben.

Was heute passiert ist, wie es dazu kam und warum es so gefährlich ist: Ein Thread. 🧵

Bald scheidet Robert Habeck aus dem Amt. Unter ihm wurde die Windkraft wiederbelebt und die Solarenergie ist explodiert. Sonne und Wind eilen seitdem von Rekord zu Rekord während so wenig Kohle verbrannt wird, wie in den 1950er. Diese Leistung kann man nicht genug würdigen.

The decline of business investment and its relation to broader economic
decline can be summarized through the key findings in this report.
1. The decline in business investment represents a shift away from the
traditional understanding of the role of capitalist businesses. In
American capitalism, private business enterprise is the fundamental
unit of economic production. Private business has historically
provided the dominant source of investment spending in the
American economy, and economic productivity has been the
outcome of a high-investment private business sector. However
corporate business enterprise increasingly does not fulfill this role.
For the first time, the nonfinancial corporate business sector now
consistently spends more on acquiring financial assets than on
capital development.

Shareholder primacy theory is a driving cause behind this shift of
American business away from the traditional role expected of it in
our economy. Rising out of the economic stagnation of the 1970s,
shareholder primacy theory refocused corporate management’s
understanding of economic value as financial return to shareholders.
This theory tilts business decision-making towards returning money
quickly and predictably to investors rather than building long-term
corporate capabilities, reduces investment in research and
innovation, and undervalues American workers’ contribution to
production.

Rubio published a report-length rant against shareholder value. I'm pointing this out because it helps understand that this wing of the GOP—which is now in power—has long held an ideological view hostile to liberal/Democratic/public equity finance. 2/2

Trump Administration Aims to Eliminate E.P.A.’s Scientific Research Arm (Gift Article) More than 1,000 chemists, biologists and other scientists could be laid off under a plan to dismantle the Office of Research and Development.

Holy shit. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say they’re trying to kill us all.

“The Environmental Protection Agency plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists”

Germany, seems to be the only country where the upper school attainment has fallen significantly between 2023 and 2016! What’s the reason behind that?

Research webinar: Should people with long careers in demanding work be allowed to retire earlier? - Finnish Centre for Pensions In many countries, policymakers are looking for new ways to compensate for long working lives and arduous work through the pension system, mostly by offering possibilities for early retirement.

!Save the date! Early retirement for early starters - a good idea? I will talk about German policies; @ajriekhoff.bsky.social will talk about Finland which introduced a variant of such a policy in 2017. Moderator @katikuitto.bsky.social Discussant Maciej Lis (OECD)
