Given U.S. #consumption is so important globally (two-thirds bigger than #EU consumption!) the #world 's #governments have now few options to counter #Trump 's #trade #war : #state #subsidies to impacted sectors and #economic or #fiscal stimulus to avoid #recession (both triggering higher public #debt ), counter-tarrifs, and new free-trade agreements with other countries. In most cases it will be a mixture of all and reconfigure #global trade flows and #market mecanisms.

Ring the ALARM Bells…. #Privatisation of public transport infrastructure ensures a decline in services and early retirement of infrastructure assets due to cuts made in order to produce profit for investors. Private enterprise strip the assets bare and then put their greedy little hands out for govt #subsidies to get them out of presumed financial trouble (no one is looking at their deep pockets full of stolen $$ here). It has always been so, it will always be so… what’s so hard to understand here? It plain old #StateTheft. Your tax money going straight into private pockets.
After, God I don’t know, one hundred years, govt still make the stupidest decisions and hand over public assets for ‘stripping’ by grifter mates…
Come on Aussies. Don’t vote those fuckers in again… Jezzzz…

Although the direct payment system, which accounts for 75% of #funding, disproportionately benefits large-scale #farms, there are no concrete changes outlined: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/eu-commission-sets-green-deal-180858137.html #subsidies
After laying off thousands of employees (8% of #JPL's workforce) under the #Biden administration and putting on hold the #MSR mission, while favoring "space economy" (a euphemism for subsidizing the space industry) and calling upside-down moon landings and half baked private missions a "success", now

2: Politics should remove fossil fuel #subsidies and invest in #energyefficiency !
3: Phase out #plastics from waste to reduce district heating #emissions
4: Secure a #sustainable #energy supply. Invest in #pumpedhydro & promote local #energycommunities
