"We anticipate gradual fiscal consolidation for Austria over the coming years. In the absence of more specific and deeper...efforts, we project fiscal deficits will remain above 4% of GDP until 2027, due to a weak economic recovery, inflexible spending, and high deficits at the subsovereign level."

Thanks to the French Jewish magazine K., I've been able to put some thoughts to paper on the proposed Austrian Holocaust Museum, its role, content, and focus. I hope you take the time to read my essay.

I just heard a NPR journalist on the wireless refer to Bitcoin as something that was 'supposed to be a safe haven in turbulent times,' as if cryptocurrency were equivalent to bonds or dividend-paying stocks, to which I would ask, Who the hell ever said that?

Wonderful things are happening on X Dot Com

In other words, the United States wants to fund a fifth column in Europe that will undermine its allies and degrade European political culture in order to advance this administration's perverse interests.

An Austrian Holocaust Museum, I argue in my essay, should 'directly address and confront the role of Austria and Austrians as initiators and perpetrators of the Holocaust and cogs in the Nazi machine.'

These aren't layoffs; it's a massacre: "The company is laying off about 30 percent of all its employees, according to two people with knowledge of the decision. That includes people on the business side and more than 300 of the roughly 800 journalists in the newsroom, the people said."
