France's impossible position — France appears to be approaching a moment when the usual political compromises may no longer work. Spend more, and the financial pressures deepen. Cut back, and the political backlash could be severe. Keep postponing the hard decisions, and the eventual reckoning becomes more difficult. How did a country with France's resources and institutions arrive at a position where every option seems to carry a serious cost? In my latest video, I examine the deeper forces behind the crisis — and why the consequences may reach far beyond French borders.
Out soon, and as always, thanks so much for sticking with me. It is very much appreciated and I hope your weekend goes well.
Be well.

Zuck's Threads: Google+ or Twitter Killer?
While I prefer Telegram over all social media platforms, and for the hands-off approach to moderation and the lack of single-minded enforcement of establishment narratives.
That said, the continuing saga of Twitter and the so-called Great Emancipator Elon Musk freeing at least one platform from the oppressive clutches of those that have stifled speech for so long now, and have in doing so, polarized the population to ever dizzying heights is now in its oscillation phase.
Mark Zuckerburg's launched his Data-Harvesting Twitter Clone, Threads to the squeals of delight from the latte drinking, self-appointed enforces of pronouns and correct speech, clutching their copies of the Communist Manifesto and Mao's little red book looking for a new Corporate controlled safe space that they can call their own.
It is being called the Twitter Killer. But is it? Well, lets take a look and see.

The Wine Aunt Age-Gap MELTDOWN
We're constantly told that women are independent adults who can make their own romantic choices. Until, apparently, they choose a man the internet disapproves of. Then suddenly everyone becomes a relationship expert, amateur psychologist and self-appointed guardian of female agency.
Apparently, a man dating a younger woman is now enough to trigger an entire internet tribunal.But is all this outrage really about protecting women—or is something else going on?

Is Weimar-America Worth Dying For?
A country is more than a government, a flag or a line drawn on a map. At its best, it is a community that people feel connected to, an inheritance that gives them something worth preserving, and a promise that the next generation might enjoy a better future. But what happens when that promise begins to disappear? When the language of national duty remains intact while confidence in the institutions demanding it deteriorates, the relationship between citizens and the state becomes much more complicated. That is the starting point for my latest video.
