The euro has had the biggest gain of the major currencies against the faltering dollar, surging nearly 14 per cent to above $1.17

That's for 2025.

Wall Street banks expect the euro to strengthen to $1.20 by the end of 2026

So 3 cent decline for the dollar for 2026, that is pretty stable if that holds.
The headline must refer to what has already happened, but then why is it "on track" instead of it being already a fact?
Or does the author not believe the Wall Street banks?

Anywho I don't believe the dollar will only decline 3 cents against the Euro in 2026.
The American economy would clearly be in declining growth already, if it wasn't for the AI bubble. I suspect this to become clearer when job numbers for January and February 2026 are released.
The completely irresponsible federal budget for 2026 probably won't help either, and the Trump administration is almost guaranteed to make things worse as they continue their crazy policies, with or without Trump, I don't think that really matters much. The rest of the administration is as crazy as Trump is.

That's OK, it looks very interesting. 👍

Joke aside, that's kind of the vibe it gives off.

Better to live to fight another day IMO. I will strongly discourage anyone from going on hunger strike, it will more likely than not ruin your health for the rest of your life, and it will also shorten your life, if you don't die outright while striking.

True but that was a first and it was bigger and part of simultaneous demonstrations, and it broke with dogma of women being weak. So probably way bigger story for the press back then in the early 1900's.

Today hunger strikes very often don't get much attention, in this case, it is close to game over for these people.

And she earned every dollar of it fair and square, contrary to all those lazy ass musicians playing at your local cafe who can't afford health care.

So I suppose suspected Republican will be reason enough to kill Americans in other countries now?
I don't see how Republicans can reasonably argue against that, since they after all are part of a war crime cult now.
We may accidentally take out a few non Republicans, but hey that's the times we live in now, as they are defined by USA.

Funny then how your previous comment is completely disconnected from the real problem.
I think I'll just block you, because you are too weird for me.

Enron was cooking the books hiding huge deficits, and spending the money from the workers pension funds, so no Nvidia isn't Enron, but that doesn't mean it's all good.
Enron was the absolute worst, only matched by the Bernie Madoff pyramid scheme and the Bankman Fried crypto fraud.

Saying you are better than that is a very bad look.

I don't think you understand the problem, because lower is absolutely worse. A small decline in population is fine, the world probably has too many people already. But a steep decline like this is catastrophic for a country.

The fertility rate required to maintain population is around 2.1, having it at only 0.8 is really bad, making the South Korean population basically on a path to extinction within a few hundred years.

The principle of doing it yes, the way of doing it no.

 

With little innovation and lacking new models, Tesla has decided to cut prices again, this time the price of the model 3 is cut by 10%.

This may be to regain some of the lost marketshare. But it may also be because they simply have too much stock.
Cutting production is expensive, and obviously producing just to stockpile unsold products is expensive too.

I have no doubt that this price cut is an act of desperation, not a result of being competitive. Tesla is losing money no matter if they cut production or they cut the prices or they stock up on unsold product.

Whichever is the case, I had a good laugh that the Swasticars are so hard to sell Tesla has to cut prices yet again, and that's despite inflation.

Allegedly the profitability on a Tesla car was recently estimated at just 2%, so cutting the price by 10% is going to hurt for them.

Here's a link to a story about it by a major news outlet in Denmark:

Anton Gerashchenko on Bluesky story about a strike at a nuclear plant with documentation:

The post contains video from the situation.

As I've been posting many times before, many workers in Russia are behind on payments. People working in factories being 3 months behind is not uncommon.
Anna from Ukraine explains the situation here. She is a good source IMO, because her English is excellent, and being Ukrainian she understands Russian, and makes frequent news updates about the Ukrainian war from various perspectives.

Anna Danylchuk:

Inside Russia on youtube was first to report on the Russian population beginning to have had enough to a degree they are actually beginning to complain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoR5_bJywWQ

I've claimed before I don't think Putin will last through the winter, and I see this as the first signs that the Russian people is about to have had enough.
The story reported by Anna and Gerashchenko tells that the workers are at least 2 months behind on wages, they were promised transportation to work, something that is important because of the lack of fuel, and public transport becoming unreliable. But they do not get the promised transportation. They were also promised 1 hot meal per day, but do not receive that either.
Finally in their homes, they are out of water and heat.

This is the economic and infrastructure collapse many have predicted was inevitable, that is now beginning to really show. And it isn't even really winter yet!

PS: The moderators removed my previous post with false accusations, so here it is posted again according to their demands.

FDM warns of errors in several models from Tesla, and FDM has now been successful by the Danish Road Safety Authority. FDM has previously described that there are several cases of significant veil in the rear suspension and in the steering column of the popular Model 3.

The Danish Road Safety Authority has stated that the motorists' interest organization, FDM, rightly did not approve two Tesla Model 3 by sight after the car owners had independently complained about the demand for omsyn.

FDM said in a statement.

In both cases, the sight results were due to "too much veil in bushings in rear-wheel suspension".

However, Tesla found no faults and thought the electric cars should have been approved, which led to complaints and the Traffic Agency's review. Many Teslas have "veil in the bushing"

The agency concludes that the cars had a significant veil and that the vision had been carried out correctly in both cases.

Earlier in the year, the FDM warned that there are many Teslas that have veils in bushings in the rear-wheel suspension and in the steering column. See also FDM comes with call for Tesla owners

Veils in rear suspensions mean that there is a looseness or abnormal movement in the parts that connect the car's rear wheel to the car itself.

This applies to both the Model 3 and Model Y. According to FDM, around 37,000 Model 3 and more than 40,000 Model Y have been registered in Denmark. The error is seen on newer cars

Usually you first see the problem on older cars, which have driven many kilometers, but FDM has seen several models with the error early in the life expectancy of the cars.

It creates doubts about the safety of cars, writes FDM, who has contacted Tesla to get the company to solve the problems. See also Tesla gets fined for flawed marketing

"We expect Tesla to help drivers, as it is not fair that the consumer has an additional cost of repair and possibly overhaul, because the car has a fault it shouldn't have," said Lone Otto, area manager in FDM's technical advice.

At the beginning of the year, FDM said that almost one in four Model 3 from the year 2020, which last year was for inspection, failed - among other things because of veils.

For other electric cars, the dump percentage was nine.

I'm stressing the European parts, because my post from yesterday about Russian losses in Ukraine war was removed as "off topic".
Despite this sub is about:
News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

 

Merz pointed out that the restrictions have been lifted not only on German weapons.

"There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine, neither by the UK, France, nor us. There are no restrictions by the US either,"

 

Putin is getting more and more desperate. As he is running out of options, he is just increasing the meat waves!
