The US Administration says it has not decided to go all in on attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran. This is portrayed as strategic behaviour. However, the Israelis supply of weapons will run out soon. When that happens, the decision to defend Israel has already been taken. -/--

Industry 5.0 and the Next Challenge for European Production -
European industry's competitive model cannot and should not rely on low-wage labour, nor is full automation a viable escape route.

DOGE will remain after Musk leaves. This means that the US will operate under chaos. Managing the public sector requires different approaches. Many systems were developed over time. E.g. zero based budgetting was a technique to give some rationale to down-sizing. ../..

@bnr.nl bracht item over sociale kosten van gedrag van Nederlandse bedrijven. Interessante framing. Het klonk alsof bedrijven duurder uit waren als gevolg van IMVO. Het rapport zegt iets anders. Negatieve sociale kosten zijn 31 mrd euro. Oftewel, dat is wat bedrijven niet betalen

The only thing that tariffs will bring to the US are robots. Most of the robots will come from outside of rhe US. Even with tariffs, these robots will remain competitive to expensive blue collars jobs. -/--

Tariffs make the US administration blind for reality. The Netherlands gets sanctioned for having a trade deficit with the US. This deficit exists since decades and has only grown. The Dutch government should forbid ASML to send machines to the US. Agree? To keep some sane logic. See #DeVolkskrant

Two strange mistakes when thinking of tariffs as a means to make your country great again. The first is that you cannot divide more gains by making the total cake smaller. You may get a bigger slice of this cake, by being a serious bully. But your slice is going to be smaller. And, second, most -/-

Just don't know what the US republicans are thinking. Even if new jobs may be created by tariffs, this will not be blue collar jobs. It will be jobs that cater to highly educated groups. Probably jobs that have a democratic leaning? Oh yes. Make America Think Again?

Another prediction. Trump will impose tariffs, even if everyone says this is plain stupidity if you want to reduce inflation. My prediction: as Erdoğan did in Turkey, Trump will start forbidding any economic statistics on inflation. Let us see. edition.cnn.com/2025/03/03/e...
