#davos vediamo con pragmatismo le principali evidenze del #WEF23 #miniThread sugli impatti economico-strategici
1) Europa first ma solo per i settori del #green possibilità per gli Stati di un po’ di flessibilità ed intervento pubblico solo per la transizione green in settori l’elettrico e collegati come #Automotive #batterie #fotovoltaico
Tutto il resto (dei settori) alimenta domanda e quindi inflazione. Va attentamente controllato, monitorato e all’occorrenza ridimensionato. Tassi alti e chi si salvi chi può. Non ci saranno salvagenti 🛟

I got my Prius in 2004. The car cost $30,000 but over the 17 years I owned it, it saved me $35,000 in fuel costs (compared to my prior #auto)

I was a BIG fan. Now I'm a big Toyota critic

From Leader to Laggard
Toyota has sold ~5M globally. Sales peaked in 2010 at 500,000 units

For the last few years Toyota has been campaigning against EVs. Why? 1) Because it's far behind in the #tech; 2) It's working to promote hybrids

#disruption #ElectricVehicle #CES2023
I've gone from being a major fan of Toyota to a major critic

Toyota has chosen to be on the wrong side of history. EVs outsold hybrids for the first time in 2021

Toyota has gone from darling to villain for environmentalists

#EUChipsAct The @EU_Commission has published a staff working document #SWD which consists of 4 parts. Can be found here:

A long 🧵with some thoughts/comments on it 1/x
The first chapter provides a very good overview on the #semiconductor industry/value chain, elaborating also on important players/ market shares.

Basically, they could have used also the study by @snv_berlin / @JPKleinhans on that, but anyway, it is quite well analysed. 2/x
imho every journalist that want to cover a #semiconductor topic should easily be able to comment/edit on this section. If someone is new on this field, it is a very good initial read to understand the sector. 3/x

Was der Erfinder des #IoT für den Grund hält, dass es sich nach 20 Jahren immer noch nicht durchgesetzt hat: "Alte weiße Männer. [...] Die wollen tun, was sie immer getan haben." Kommt uns das bekannt vor?
tagesspiegel.de/wirtschaft/erf…
So geht das Zitat weiter: "Man hört immer die gleichen Ausreden und merkt irgendwann, sie wollen einfach nicht. Daher ist die Geschichte der Wirtschaft eine Geschichte von alten weißen Männern, die sich nicht ändern wollten und aus dem Geschäft gedrängt wurden."
Es wird noch besser: "Q: Wo stehen da die Deutschen? Führen da noch die alten weißen Männer? A: Jeder ist ein alter weißer Mann in der Autoindustrie." Wie recht er hat! 🤪 Und 4 Jahre danach hat sich das keinen Deut geändert...

“Travel patterns have changed. Public transit is down massively so cities need to promote other options. Cities are really promoting micro-mobility [and e-mobility] where you’re in an open air environment.” -@GrahamGullans of @Superpedestrian #SALTTalks

Some future gazing regarding #Brexit. Two possible scenarios for consideration, and under both, Brexit just doesn’t go away.
1.We get a deal this year. It's thin for goods, with the benefits broadly limited to zero tariffs, at least on paper if not always in practice (see rules of origin & #automotive), & largely non-existent for services.
This new FTA world comes with considerable new cost that sends some businesses to the wall, and new friction that will cause significant disruption in some places (see Kent), but not everywhere.

1 - Yes, we want to grow it! #UK #Automotive exports £1 billion engines to Turkey, twice as much as the entire North-American region and second only to the EU. British engines are assembled into passenger cars and CVs exported from Turkey to the UK and other European countries.
2 - In 2018, we imported more than 175,000 finished vehicles from Turkey, mainly cars and vans. In 2008, we were importing just over 65,000. Turkey ranked 5^ among the biggest export markets for UK cars.
3 - High level of integration was fuelled by favourable trading conditions of the EU-Turkey customs union. This agreement allows all industrial goods to be traded tariff-free, regardless of their origin, once in free circulation in the EU-Turkey customs area.

Don't believe that Blukip Mayhem & Co realise just HOW far adrift they have become from public opinion NOW! Of course, they could put ANY deal? Big IF? to a #peoplesvote, and test the will of the people to which they love SO much to defer? Democracy? Do they really believe in it?
Hard to escape the view that 'so called' UK Democracy has been completely hijacked by Blukip Mayhem & Co. There's NO mandate to trash our economy in the way now daily unfolding. It's totally risible to suggest that we'll go global from the self-inflicted wreckage of what we had.
Triple hit from #Brexodus; deferred, reduced or cancelled #BusinessInvestment and collapsing consumer #Confidence look likely to impact UK #GDP when #Q2 stats are known. Will Blukip Mayhem & Co take any notice? Or just keep racking up yet more debt, as UK #TaxTake recedes!
