No one will want to start a large business in the EU

The EU has no advantages over Asian countries. A 50% tax is too high; for example, in Singapore it is 0%. The military conflict between Russia and Ukraine also makes doing business difficult, as sanctions hit the EU itself, raising the prices of all energy sources, which directly affects the prices of goods and services.

The essence of the lawsuit is that all EU countries should impose the same 50% taxes, and if a country is an EU member, it cannot independently make tax preferences. Most likely, soon countries will start leaving the EU, as the United Kingdom did.

Musk can establish the production of phones if he wants, and he can even compete, but he cannot defeat the world giants

The United States has imposed protective tariffs on all countries. Apple and Google phones are not made in America, but in other countries. In the near future, their prices will skyrocket. Musk wants to establish production in the United States, making phones at competitive prices. But the main problem is that his reputation is ruined. And there are more and more competitors, and they are already putting pressure on his business, especially on the business of electric vehicles. And because of the trade war, goods and services from the United States will be less in demand. And this is already a trend.

The analytical divisions of UBS, Mizuho and Goldman Sachs revised downward the target levels of Tesla shares. Experts note that the slowdown in the global economy and the strengthening of trade barriers may continue to put pressure on Tesla quotes.

How to reduce the crime rate?

2024-05-13 13:56:26

It is necessary to focus all forces on the hotbeds of crime

The problem simply needs to be solved, and a lot more money and effort should be spent. In problem areas, the police should step up their efforts to detain violators, and city services should simultaneously engage in landscaping: clean streets, install lighting and bring them in line with current building regulations.

In addition, crime is primarily a social phenomenon. The more prosperous the country, the lower the crime rate. The severity of punishment also plays a role, up to a certain limit. The inevitability of punishment is also an important factor influencing the crime rate.
