The #EuropeanCommission wants to boost Europe's economy by redirecting the savings of citizens across the #EU towards investment to stay competitive on the global stage.
The #Commission will address barriers preventing insurers, banks, and pension funds from investing in equity.
- the question is whether people's savings will end up like the savings of American retirees who saved for years in the #SP500 and then lost that value in a few days ?

US stock markets were on an amazing bullish run (almost +50%) for the previous 2yrs. That all stopped in November 2024 and it’s been basically flat for 3 months now

What happened 3mon ago? Yup, we elected a billionaire conman and got his mega-billionaire sidekick who are doing nothing to bring down consumer prices and are destroying investment in America. And we haven’t even seen the price of the chaos, firings and canceled contracts yet

One day after the #german #election|s, #Merz (most likely #Germany's next chancellor) is suddenly considering to reform the limits on public #debt:

tagesschau.de/inland/reform-sc

For the last three years (under the previous government), #Merz was strictly against that, which significantly reduced the governments abilities to act and #invest in #infrastructure, #schools and so on. This certainly contributed much to heat the discussions inside the previous government and ultimately led to its end.

I mean seriously?!

Could you imagine if #auspol used VSL value-of-statistical-life (currently valued at $5.3 million per normal person) based approach in #housing policy areas as they do in infrastructure?

Sensible move really when you consider the #homeless die at almost twice the rate as those who are housed.

Apparently #mortality isn’t considered ethical.

Here is a quick little hypothetical mock-up I made - and as you can see - I kept receipts...

I created a quick table and analysis to compare a hypothetical policy change in Australia if the government adopted a Value of a Statistical Life (VSL) approach when assessing the return on investment (ROI) and cost-effectiveness of preventing homelessness. A table with four columns: 'Policy Area', 'Current Approach', 'VSL-Based Approach', and 'Implications'. The table compares funding for social housing, homelessness services, and rental assistance. For social housing, the current approach is a $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund aiming for 40,000 homes by 2029. The VSL-based approach requires $21.2 billion to save 4,000 lives, using a 2024 VSL of $5.7 million. The implication is that current funding covers less than 50% of the VSL-justified need. For homelessness services, the current approach sees over 50,000 people turned away annually due to capacity limits. The VSL-based approach to prevent 1,000 deaths (suicide/overdose) would require $5.7 billion. The implication is that existing programs are 10 times under-resourced by VSL standards. For rental assistance, the current approach involves a 15-25% Commonwealth Rent Assistance (CRA) boost to reduce poverty but does not address mortality. The VSL-based approach to raise CRA by 60% to prevent 383 deaths per year would need $2.2 billion per year. The implication is that current increases of $500 million per year fail VSL cost-benefit thresholds.
