  • Beyond the incel: Europe in the face of masculinist terrorism

    Jump

  • As 'masculinist terrorism' isn't a European phenomenon, I am wondering what its impact is globally and how it effects the regional economics, health, politics in Europe and beyond?

  • The European Union is becoming the world’s “quality of life” superpower

    Jump

  • There are a lot of challenges in Europe (with foreign powers interfering heavily to drag down Europe and the rest of the democratic world as we know), but by any comparative standards - such as the Human Development Index (HDI), the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI), the Gender Development Index (GDI), the Augmented Human Development Index (AHDI), summarized here - Europe and only a few other areas and countries (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, ...) enjoy a higher standard of living than most other world areas.

    But it's not a given. Europe must do its part to protect its own achievements and collaborate with other democratic governments to increase quality of life everywhere.

  • Tackle wood burning and road traffic to improve Europe’s air quality, study finds

    Jump

  • For a global comparison of air quality in real time: https://waqi.info/

    Among the top 10 most polluted cities, 2 are in Pakistan, 2 in China, 1 in India, the rest are in the Middle East.

    Europe is quite good in that ranking, but there's a lot room of improvement.

  • They’re already here: How U.S. corporations have been eroding Canada’s economic sovereignty

    Jump

  • Yeah, and here on Lemmy is a large community that is now campaigning for China to erode Canada's sovereignty even more.

  • Is Canada selling out human rights for business with China? | The Hub Canada

    Jump

  • Yes, it can't be done quickly, but there is no alternative to diversifying trade. Canada must sell its canola into other markets than China, and China's offer of lift canola tariffs if Canada lifts EV tariffs is a bad deal for Canada imo.

    (That aside, China's tariffs on Canadian canola is not just hitting Canada. Very much as Trump is hurting U.S. citizens with his tariffs, Xi Jinping is hurting Chinese people with his tariffs on canola.. China's trade policy is bad for the Chinese economy, too.)

  • Like choosing between the plague and cholera?

    No, the choice is not between just two countries. Canada must diversify its trade, particularly with democratic partners around the globe.

  • Recycling and alternative sourcing are not mutually exclusive. At least here in Europe there are also plans to also recycle this stuff, and I would assume this will be also part of the game in Canada and everywhere else.

  • Global Funds Exit China Real Estate Amid Steep Losses and Distressed Sales As Oversupply Expected to Take Years to Be Absorbed

    Jump

  • Nah, this is not about the multinational investors but foremost about ordinary people's money.

    And the next bubble is loading already. Chinese households are returning to equities due to a lack of attractive alternatives, with the CSI 300 Index surging more than 25% since its April lows (and surging ~50% since the start of the year). There are large investors, of course, but the data -household deposits are down, stock market indices are up, to name examples- shows that small investors are a central part of this bull rally, with hundred of billions of dollars have been flooding the equity markets within short period of time now.

  • Private rent in Britain now swallows 44% of the average wage

  • According to the DWS Housing Affordability Report 2025 (pdf) - page 4 on the linked pdf contains a diagram comparing global cities - lists London among the least affordable cities citing. Within Europe, only Lisbon is less affordable.

    In a nutshell:

    • Salt Lake City and Austin maintain first and second place as the most affordable locations, while Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney climb the ranks compared to last year, completing the top five.
    • US cities continue to be some of the most affordable globally, due to high income levels and often fewer supply barriers. Five US cities appear in the top 10, including San Francisco. However, New York and Miami remain notable outliers.
    • Australian cities also score well, although Indian and Chinese cities pull down the APAC average.
    • Europe sits squarely in the middle, although with notable outliers including a surprisingly affordable Munich, and the increasingly expensive home of digital nomads, Lisbon.
    • Despite low affordability, global cities like London, Paris, New York, Berlin and Tokyo continue to attract people through their culture, career opportunities, energy and lifestyle – making high rents a price many still appear willing to pay
