"With them, we are better equipped to cope with economic shocks such as energy crises or sudden changes in household consumption behavior."

Daniele Ganser wrote that Donald Trump spoke on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 9, 2026, and agreed with him on extensive diesel deliveries. Russia is supposed to provide more than 300,000 tons of diesel for the world market and the USA in October, and an additional 500,000 tons in November. Ganser interpreted this as the lifting of US sanctions against Russian diesel. Ganser cited Trump's domestic political pressure due to high diesel prices before the congressional elections on November 3, 2026, as the reason for the move. The economic war of the USA and the EU had not forced Russia to its knees, he wrote. Instead, the populations in the USA and the EU were suffering from high energy prices because they had cut themselves off from Russian oil and gas. Ganser advocated for Germany to end the economic war against Russia, to resume imports of Russian natural gas and oil, and to repair the Nord Stream pipelines. Chancellor Friedrich Merz does not want this and continues to beat the war drums, while high energy prices heavily burden Germany, Ganser wrote. #Wirtschaftskrieg #Energiekrise #Russland (translated)

The work of the laureates has provided us with a solid theoretical foundation for the models that are now used by central banks and governments around the world. Thanks to these models, we are better able to respond to economic shocks – such as energy crises or sudden changes in household consumption behavior, says John Hassler, chairman of the committee for the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. #Wirtschaftsnobelpreis #Ökonomie #Stabilisierungspolitik (translated)

Bernd Kaiser expressed his condolences to Bärbel Bas on the death of her stepdaughter but accused her of politically exploiting the tragedy. He wrote that Bas is resigning from her position as Federal Minister of Labor and the presidency of the SPD party but is keeping her Bundestag mandate. Kaiser criticized that Bas would therefore continue to receive a salary and additionally statutory transitional pay: the full ministerial salary for three months and then half for up to two years. He compared this to the regulations for employees: those who lose a stepchild have no right to statutory special leave; in the public sector, there are two days off for the death of direct relatives. He claimed that Bas did not change this regulation during her time in office. Kaiser accused Bas of evading political responsibility by referring to grief and public attacks while the costs would be borne by taxpayers. #BärbelBas #SPD #Doppelmoral #BärbelBas #SPD #Politik (translated)
