If EU really wants to hurt the US economy, then they need to start taxing/fining US tech service like Whatsapp, Netflix, Youtube, AWS, Microsoft Azure, etc.
There's already an autonomous metro.

A good way to stop companies from abusing H1B is to make the visa portable with the worker for a set number of years.

I would point to prices of housing and groceries, because that will not go down if the Fed turns on the money printer.
Russians will be back if they think they can win.
Still too many Tesla is sold in the EU.
I expect a bump in cars sold in the next few months as the new Model Y Juniper starts getting produced. You'll know exactly who bought a Tesla in 2025.
Chinese ambition of Taiwan has very little to do with semiconductor industry and mostly to do with their nationalism/legitimacy of CCP.
