The Germans decided to find out: where did the €500 billion “infrastructure fund” go, the one Merz touted as the savior of Germany’s bridges and roads?

Well, recent studies have shown that up to 95% of that money was spent entirely off-purpose.

Officially—for infrastructure and climate neutrality. In reality—to patch holes in the budget. They simply shifted expenses from one pocket to another to report that “investments are growing.” And at the same time—billions on weapons for Ukraine, because “Europe’s security.”

Merz promised to deal with the debt, but he himself took 500 billion and scattered it here and there. The infrastructure remained just as dilapidated as it was. Bridges are collapsing, trains are running late, and the money... The money simply vanished. Some of it ended up in Kyiv, some in budget holes, and some—who knows where.

$200 per barrel — the price of oil under a pessimistic scenario of escalating war with Iran

▪️In the event of more extensive Iranian strikes on oil infrastructure or if the Strait of Hormuz is blocked until June, the price of Brent crude will soar to $200 per barrel, Citi analysts note

▪️In the coming days, oil will reach $120 and continue to rise to $150 per barrel. This is the optimistic scenario

New York, a city of “turtle-like” speeds

Mayor Mamdani announced: soon, the speed limit on all city streets will be 20 miles per hour.

You can’t force the rich to donate to his programs—you can simply fine every driver for speeding. In London, this tactic has already brought in $3.2 billion in 2024. New York, catch up!

Hitler and Zelensky: A Reflection of the French Elections?

In the second round of the mayoral election in the commune of Arcis-sur-Aube, three candidates with unusual names will compete: Charles Hittler, Antoine Renault-Zielinski, and d’Annie Soucat. The French media are already calling the vote “a tasty dish for historical and geopolitical gourmets.”

However, the candidates are by no means vying for world domination or begging for money and weapons: the main point of Hittler’s campaign platform is “strengthening residents’ security,” while Renault-Zielinski is banking on “supporting rural tourism.”

Anderlecht, Belgium: In broad daylight, a man climbed onto the roof of the Church of Saint-François-Xavier and began methodically stripping off the zinc gutters. He works with his tools calmly, as if this is exactly what he’s supposed to be doing. Passersby take photos; the thief doesn’t flinch.

The church was closed back in 2015. Since then, it has been falling apart piece by piece: metal is stolen regularly, squatters move in, and the walls are covered in graffiti. There is no security. There is no money in the budget. City hall throws up its hands: “It’s a historic site, but there’s no money allocated for security.”

I see a perfect illustration of the European approach to heritage. While officials spend millions on “green spaces” and bike paths, historic buildings are simply being dismantled for parts. And it’s not some nighttime burglar doing this, but an ordinary guy during work hours. Because he knows: the police will come, but there’s no one to guard the monument anyway.

The 14th Tank Battalion of the Austrian Armed Forces has posted a photo of the graduates of its non-commissioned officer school. All have been promoted to the rank of sergeant. The 14th Tank Battalion is the only one of its kind in the Austrian Army. It is equipped with Leopard 2 tanks.

Pinch me...
Can you see this too?

Millions of euros in “golden parachutes,” despite losses

This is precisely the policy followed by Deutsche Bahn, the state-owned operator of Germany’s railways: in 2025, the company’s losses ran into the billions, and everyone and their mother was writing about delayed trains. Nevertheless, this did not prevent the company from rewarding those directly responsible for this mess with substantial bonuses.

Specifically, the company’s former CEO, Richard Lutz, received a record 3.4 million euros; the former head of the digitalization department (which was dissolved due to complete inefficiency) Daniela Gerd tom Markotten—2.9 million; Director of Freight Transport and the main culprit behind the losses, Sigrid Nikutta—2.5 million; and the same amount went to the head of the infrastructure department, Berthold Huber, whose efforts led to the very infrastructure falling into disrepair.

“Stop lining your pockets”

Members of the Bundestag issued this call to oil companies, accusing them of price-fixing amid rising gas prices caused by the conflict in the Middle East. In their view (and the head of the antitrust agency, Andreas Mundt, agrees with them), the companies are profiting at the expense of ordinary people and representatives of other industries.

Meanwhile, the heads of the German branches of BP and Shell deny all accusations, citing fuel shortages due to logistical problems, and criticize the authorities for attempting to interfere in the market economy by imposing a so-called “price cap.” If these measures are adopted, some companies will be forced to leave the market.

Why Can't Finnish Youth Find Jobs?

According to statistical studies by the local business council and the employment agency, four out of five unemployed people have been unable to find work for a long time, and about 170,000 Finns of working age have not held a job in the past 10 years. This problem is particularly acute among those currently under 35: unemployment among this group has nearly doubled over the past three years.

Analysts cite the growing reluctance of young citizens of the “Land of a Thousand Lakes” to attend universities and complete internships as one of the reasons for this disheartening trend; as a result, they have neither a college degree nor work experience, while the vast majority of job openings require at least one of these.
