Nasz dochód na mieszkańca w tym roku przegoni Japonię 💪💪, ale nie tylko PKB się żyje: powinnyśmy postawić sobie narodowy cel 🎯 aby najpóźniej do 2050 roku móc pokazać podobną do Japonii mapę polskich marek i firm rozpoznawalnych na świecie👇 Dzisiaj byłaby praktycznie pusta…

Zgoda z @R_A_Ziemkiewicz , że polskość jest atrakcyjna! Zgoda też, że w sprawie imigracji chodzi nie o "czy" ale o "jak". Możemy iść śladem ZEA, Danii, Australii etc., jednocześnie ucząc się na błędach innych krajów Zachodu, i stworzyć system mądrej, selektywnej, punktowej,…
Migracja, rynek pracy i demografia – czy Polska jest gotowa na twarde decyzje? Czy polskość może być atrakcyjna? O tym rozmawiam z @R_A_Ziemkiewicz w Układzie Otwartym👇youtu.be/chiAZOaxfpg
biggest win of second trump administration to date
Together, the EU and the US are a market of 800 million people. And nearly 44 percent of global GDP. It’s the biggest trade deal ever ↓

It’s a humiliating climb down

So demeaning to the European Union 🇪🇺👇. It is painful to see it how the EU has downgraded itself in the global pecking order, in the process agreeing to undermine global trading rules that it has otherwise promoted. Even with Trump gone in 2028, it will be difficult to reverse…
Trump just announced that the US and EU had reached a tariff deal. European goods coming into the U.S. will have a 15% tariff. The EU will put 0% tariffs on US goods, make $600 billion in U.S. investments (plus military) & buy $750 billion in U.S. energy.
“I want to thank President Trump personally, for this personal commitment and leadership” .

Those disappointed in the EU rolling over for Trump (1) overestimate the EU's leverage (2) underestimate the extent of EU's dependence on US (trade, energy, tech, security) (3) misjudge pain thresholds for EU politicians (4) ignore broader context & realistic options given above.
Instead of defending the rules-based trading system, the EU is entering into a deal whose durability is uncertain, which is governed by the whims of a populist administration, and which is not compatible with the rules of the World Trade Organization. 2/2
The 'China shock' at the turn of this century wreaked havoc on US manufacturing. Is a second shock coming? I talked with @davidautor — one of the economists who identified the first 'China shock.'
JP’s Dimon (@ft): “Europe has gone from 90% US GDP to 65% over 10 or 15 years. That’s not good. You’re losing.” What a misleading statement (using market FX rates). Surely he knows what he is doing. So, why not say Europe has gained 10% on US since Trump became president?

Dobrze powiedziane👇 Warto stworzyć elitarny “Klub 100”’ zrzeszający największych polskich eksporterów/firm gotowych do międzynarodowej ekspansji i wspierać ich wszelkimi możliwymi sposobami, od dyplomacji po kapitał na wykup zagranicznych firm. @Domanski_Andrz
💬 Polskie firmy muszą mocniej zaistnieć na rynkach zagranicznych. Tworzymy do tego narzędzia. Ale dyplomacja gospodarcza ma dwa kierunki. Chcemy również przełomowych inwestycji tworzących dobrze płatne miejsca pracy w Polsce – minister @Domanski_Andrz w „Faktach po Faktach”.
3. A team of Stanford economists recently estimated that nearly three quarters of all U.S. innovation since 1976 can be attributed to high-skilled immigration.
