Germany is headed for its second recession of the pandemic after the emergence of the coronavirus’s omicron strain compounded drags on output from supply snarls and the fastest inflation in three decades.
Europe’s largest economy shrank by 0.5% to 1% in the final quarter of 2021, according to an estimate released Friday by the Federal Statistics Office. With new Covid-19 cases at a record and the key manufacturing industry still struggling to source components, Dekabank, NordLB and ABN Amro all predict another contraction this quarter.

Is "party animal" Boris Johnson's party coming to an end? The controversial "partygate" has triggered huge waves of criticism against the UK prime minister from inside and outside the Conservative Party, and Johnson is facing growing pressure to resign. However, although British people are seemingly free to criticize and supervise politicians, the essential problem has been ignored: The Western system lacks an overall accountability mechanism for the government's policies, and no matter how many prime ministers resign, politicians' governance ability will not be improved.

I think the timing of all these revelations is highly telling.

These are things that happened over a year ago, with so many participants and done so routinely that there is no way it is only getting out now.

So the key question is why now, and I think that is because the person who is organising these leaks is a leadership challenger who believes that the worst of covid is now basically over.

They didn’t leak these stories before because they didn’t want to topple Boris only to get saddled with the poison chalice of running the country during more covid waves and lockdowns. So they left Boris in place to take all the blame for the inevitable covid fuck ups.

Aside from academic curiosity, this revelation might have practical implications. Because if the above is true, then a possible escape route for Boris would be if the pandemic and/or economy and/or Ukraine situation suddenly got a whole lot worse. So much so that whoever is itching to take over gets second thoughts about how wise it would be to take over now.

I would not be surprised if after his current ‘red meat’ naked bribery tactic fails, Boris puts in place policies to deliberately bring about some or all of the above to save himself from being toppled.

If he survives and stays in power, he has options. If he is toppled now, like this, he is done. I would not be surprised if prison actually comes into the equation for him even.

One of the guys (the non-ethnic white) is a Billionaire and one of the co-owners of the NBA Golden State Warriors.
Chamath Palihapitiya is a pretty well known venture capitalist/engineer. When I said China should create a social environment to attract more immigrants, that’s what I’m talking about.
