With the increasing pressures and threats from the US on Europe (invasion of Greenland, higher tariffs for countries that don't support US invasion of European territory, etc.), it is becoming increasingly important for Europeans to stop relying on American products. I already proposed European...

Another great video by Evan Edinger. How much market are delivery companies like Uber Eats, Doordash, Deliveroo, Takeaway/Justeat making on each delivery (service fees, delivery fees, etc.). How much are they paying their delivery people and with what benefits? Great analysis. I'll let you...

Road fatalities considerably higher into United States than in Europe. There are many reasons for that: younger minimum driving age, more lenient attitude to wearing seat belts (not even compulsory in New Hampshire), more dangerous road design, and so on. But another reason I have not been...

European Digital Sovereignty: Why Supporting Local Tech Matters In an era of geopolitical uncertainty and escalating tensions between Europe and the U.S., digital sovereignty is more critical than ever. Recent trade disputes, data privacy conflicts, and the risk of sanctions or regulatory...

I've been following Evan Edinger on YouTube for a while. He is an American from New Jersey has been living in London for the past 13 years. He came as student and decided to stay. Is YouTube channel is mostly dedicated to the differences between the US and UK (or Europe in general)...

Here is yet another study that found that Maghrebin immigrants cause vastly more crimes per capita than other nationalities, except when it comes to rapes, paedophilia and child pornography, for which Pakistani and Afghans are the most overrepresented. It shows once again how poorly integrated...

Most of Europe is now covered by the Eupedia Travel Guide (EU + Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, but without Cyprus and Malta). The map below ranks regions of Europe from the most to the least interesting for sightseeing based on the density and rating of cities, towns, castles ans well as naturals...

The Dutch government has just released the official statistics on how much immigrants from each country contribute to or cost society over their lifetime. The results are shocking. Each immigrant from the horn of Africa (Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia) or Sudan costs the government in average...

Type Ashton is one of my favorite YouTube channels. The videos are very high quality, worthy of a BBC documentary. I've already shared a few of them before but this one is probably one of the most important so far. Over 40% of the food in the US and Canada is thrown away, against only about 7%...

I found these two maps, which I found interesting enough to share. The highest fixed speeding tickets are in Austria, Italy and Belgium. Oddly enough the amounts on the map are in Australian dollar. I like the system of speeding tickets based on the driver's income like in the UK...

You may have heard of their digital euro. But what is it exactly? It has nothing to do with cryptocurrency stable coins like the USDT. It's way for the European Union to become an independent from American credit card companies like Visa and MasterCard by making card payments directly from...

All countries in the world lend and borrow money to each others. There has been a lot of talk about the US public debt lately. About 12% of it is owned by foreign governments, notably Japan, China and the UK, and another 9% to 12% by foreign companies and individuals. But despite having a public...

I have had the chance to travel to most European countries, and most regions and major cities within big countries. Based on my experience and on the data of the most visited cities in Europe, I have complied a list of places that I consider to be overrated or underrated. An overrated city is a...

While I already knew well the limitations of the GDP per capita for judging how rich a country is, the video made me think of calculating the Net GDP per capita of 'supposedly rich countries'. To do this, just subtract the public debt per capita from the GDP per capita. By doing this we see that...

At present, 20 countries already operate high-speed railways. This includes 12 European countries, as well as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Egypt should open its first line this summer. India and Thailand will follow next year. In the...

Over the last few months the Europe Travel Guide has undergone a complete transformation. There were only detailed travel guides for Belgium, the Netherlands, England and parts of Western Germany and France. Now almost all of Europe in covered with travel guides for 31 countries (still missing...

This is a great video on the possible future of European integration using a system with different levels of membership based on each country's needs. I heartily agree with the proposal.

The Eupedia Travel Guide has changed a lot over the last few weeks. There are brand new guides for Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia, as well as completely reworked guides of Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Austria, Denmark and Sweden. Pages for all these cities have been updated, reworked and...
