Michael A. Arouet: How do the left keep...
How do the left keep a straight face when they punish people working there with higher taxes to redistribute the money to people who don’t want to work, and seriously call it “social justice”?
Michael A. Arouet: It's always funny when naive US...
It's always funny when naive US leftists talk about the European Nordic countries as an example of "democratic socialism“ and scream „tax the rich“. Guess what: "the rich" in the US pay more taxes than in Scandinavia. And Sweden abolished inheritance and wealth tax.Michael A. Arouet: European Net Zero achieved two things...
European Net Zero achieved two things: 1. Deindustrialization in Europe due to high energy costs, many well-paid jobs lost. 2. The same products come now from Asia, but with higher emissions to build and ship. Cars, for example, cause 70% more emissions. Isn’t that genius?Michael A. Arouet: The next heatwave has just hit Europe...
The next heatwave has just hit Europe. Thousands will die again. The same greens who shut down nuclear power plants but kept coal instead are still arguing against air-conditioning. Make energy cheap again. Get production from Asia, where it causes more emissions, back to EuropeMichael A. Arouet: Everyone has heard about the amazing...
Everyone has heard about the amazing Polish economic wonder. Poland did many things right, the eight below explain that. Other European countries stagnate because they choose the opposite path of big state, bureaucracy, lavish welfare and high taxes punishing entrepreneurs.Michael A. Arouet: There is not a single week without a German...
There is not a single week without a German company announcing mass layoffs or closures. Germany is in the deepest structural crisis since WWII. Government spending masks the real magnitude It can’t continue forever, governments need taxes from the real economy to keep spendingMichael A. Arouet: Regardless of which government...
Regardless of which government, Britain has simply stagnated for two decades. What do you think about the new PM's announcement of a new start for Britain's economy? Will things improve, or will it be, as always, just more debt and higher taxes throttling growth even further?Michael A. Arouet: 83% of Spaniards don’t even...
83% of Spaniards don’t even make €3,000 gross per month. What exactly is the point of being the immigration champion in Europe when most working people struggle to make ends meet? What do I miss here?Michael A. Arouet: Europeans, unwilling to admit they are becoming poorer...
Europeans, unwilling to admit they are becoming poorer, argue that in the US only the super-rich are doing well, while Europeans are better off than Americans. Nope, Americans, excluding the top 1% and even the poorest 20%, are much better off than their European equivalents.Michael A. Arouet: There is a lot of talk about Germany...
There is a lot of talk about Germany spending one third of its budget on defense in a few years. If you underspend for decades to fund lavish welfare, the catch-up must be expensive. The times of welfare for all are over, something has to give, especially in a weak economy.Michael A. Arouet: Mit seiner Arroganz hat Deutschland...
Mit seiner Arroganz hat Deutschland jahrelang die Welt über Moral und Klima belehrt Dann begannen Fabriken zu schließen, Energiepreise explodierten, die Infrastruktur verfiel, und das soziale Vertrauen brach zusammen Es stellt sich heraus, dass linke-grüne Ideologie keine Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft antreibt. Die Industrie tut es

Did you know that Europe used to produce more natural gas than Russia? Then the greens decided to sacrifice Europe’s geopolitical and economic security on the altar of the green religion. Imagine what happens to Europe’s economy and societies if the scenario below materializes.Michael A. Arouet: While Iranians around the world and in Iran celebrate...
While Iranians around the world and in Iran celebrate, the Western left is mad about the US and Israel going after the evil regime. The left prefers to support those who slaughtered innocent young women, after October 7th and now again. The left is morally bankrupt. Full stop.Michael A. Arouet: I have just cancelled my Dubai trip...
I have just cancelled my Dubai trip this year. I'm sure many others do the same. Today is a game-changer. Dubai has always been expensive, but it offered great winter weather and fantastic restaurants. Who will pay the price of a small car for a holiday to watch drones?

Michael A. Arouet: Can someone please explain German green paranoia...
Can someone please explain German green paranoia? Don’t they have other, more pressing issues? If they put a fraction of the money and energy spent on “green” projects into innovation and deregulation, Germany would be growing again.

Michael A. Arouet: The main problem with Germany is...
The main problem with Germany is that the generation which rebuilt it after WWII has retired, and the new generation naively follows left-green fairytales, and takes for granted the prosperity their fathers worked so hard for. Germany would need to fall hard, before they get it.

Eye-opening chart. Germany is in its deepest crisis since WWII. Its outdated business and economic model is simply broken. More debt to fix a few bridges or plant more trees in Berlin, without deep structural reforms, won’t change anything. It will just slow down the agony. Chart @DanielKral1

Michael A. Arouet: I wouldn't call them stupid, I'd call them low IQ...
I wouldn't call them stupid, I'd call them low IQ. The left doesn't like hearing the inconvenient truth, but wealth distribution is similar to intelligence distribution. Why does the left always try to punish people for their intelligence with higher taxes? Is this fair?
