  tldr: we pay higher spreads on debt we need to finance the #EU because German and Dutch politicians have to hide the (insufficient) joint EU debt from their voters because they made them believe it's morally hazardous to issue EU debt because lazy Southerners would spend it on booze and twinks. At my most voracious, eurobisexual peak, I could at best blow 2 billion a year on wine and groupies. Still leaves 798 for climate change mitigation and Ukraine. 🥂 #EUpol #MFFButNotTheFunKind #eurobo...

  RE: https://eupolicy.social/@Veza85UE/116923518398968747 An update: nvm, Denmark's deradicalisation therapy for frugalism lasted about as long as my last vow to not binge on albariño. I can go back to fully including it in my anti-Calvinist bullshit memes. #FrugalsInTrenches

  RE: https://eupolicy.social/@Veza85UE/116923488218443672 #DanJørgensen “Our electrification rate has stagnated for the last decade. We need to electrify and we need to do it much faster,” he said." Conflicted re: how much shit I should give any Danish politician as, to its credit, #Denmark is the only country among the "Hansa League" frauds to have denounced frugalism. We should welcome anyone seeing the light... But this is still a classic use case for the: "We're all...

  RE: https://eupolicy.social/@Veza85UE/116125593925760509 Latest in my "laugh-cry-die while reading the FT" series. Fatih Birol said that Europe’s low electrification rate — electricity’s share of the energy consumed in the EU — of around 23 per cent is holding back the bloc’s competitiveness and economic “sovereignty”. “This is in my view a major mistake for Europe,” Birol told the FT. “In general, I would have hoped and expected that Europe would have been more responsive to this...

  RE: https://eupolicy.social/@euractiv_politics/116119737300310606 Bleakly amusing to me that 4 years into Russia attacking Europe and using energy to blackmail us, 🇪🇺 electricity distribution grids are paying infomercials to ask for large-scale investments in ageing infrastructure: "Distribution grids will require EUR 730 billion investment by 2040 and a significant share of this will be dedicated specifically to resilience measures" ...but we can't have eurobonds because #Frugal...

  @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu If you're a EUropean from: * Germany * The Netherlands * Sweden * Austria * Denmark and you want "the EU" to Do Stuff That Costs Money, by far the most meaningful contribution you can make is to contact the people who actually run the EU, ie your national governments, and ask them if they're aware it's no longer 1981 and Margaret Thatcher is dead. Ask them why they continue to blow a 49 billion Euro hole in the EU budget by cla...

  The only lesson any of them (Stubb, Sikorski, any Italian Minister ever, etc.) will learn from this is that come January 2029 they will be extra obsequious and grovel *sincerely* with relief and love in their hearts. https://news.err.ee/1609980696/kaja-kallas-confronts-rubio-on-russia-as-tensions-flare-at-g7-meeting #MaaaybeNotDenmark #ButIWouldntVouchForAnyOfThem #LanaDelReyOccupiedEUCO #HeTellsMeToShutUpIGOTThis #ApolloTag #AtlanticistsMuggedByReality #NotMuggedHardEnoughObviously #EUpol #e...

  @wolf480pl@mstdn.io Congratulations, you're special. Not even sure what about the Commission's post hurt your feefees specifically, but there's 450 plus MILLIONS of us. If you do think your watching paint dry on Eurostat posts nobody reads approach is that much better to comunicate to all 450 million of us, do sign up for one of the open vacancies and show the EU comms team how it's done. @jmaris@eupolicy.social @benroyce@mastodon.social

  @wolf480pl@mstdn.io Yeah because if there's one issue with EU comms to citizens that needs urgent fixing is that it's not boring ENOUGH... @jmaris@eupolicy.social @benroyce@mastodon.social

  #VendrediLecture x #CrossBorderRail Cosas de los años 2000 que ya no existen: "Fue a buscar su Tarjeta Europea para el tren y meditó sobre una manera de llegar a Lisboa por ferrocaril. [...] Saliendo de Ginebra, el viaje duraba veintiséis horas. Pasaba por París y por Irún, en el País Vasco, y desde allí se viajaba con el tren nocturno hasta Lisboa." #libros #literatura #eurolectura #PascalMercier #tren #eurocultura #ferrocultura

  If you ever wondered how German car makers drove themselves into the ditch and how could German industrialists and the German governing parties they own ever be so arrogant to think China would never, ever meet them and then overtake them up the value chain, here's another titan of German industry doing his best to enlighten us: #Germany #Deutschland #Papperger #Rheinmetall #Ukraine #drones #innovation #TheKitchenPartTho #NotAllMenButAlwaysMen
