Sammanfattning på svenska av den amerikanska intervjun från föregående blogginlägg.  

USA:s glidtur på den globala räkmackan är på väg mot ett brutalt slut

End of the American dream

 

Who´s cheating who, exactly? And who will be "liberated"? Speaks for itself.  

THEY PLAYED MY ASS

 

THE LOCAL SUPERMARKET HERE IN SWEDEN PLAYED MY ASS, WTF. From now on, I´m going to ask my new friend about product lines before I make expensive purchases. Also, Trump must sanction...I don´t know...Swiss cantons or something?!

Is Dubai Style Chocolate marketed by Lindt the same thing as "Dubai Chocolate"?

No, Dubai Style Chocolate by Lindt and what people refer to as "Dubai Chocolate" are not necessarily the same thing. Here's the distinction:

• Lindt's Dubai Style Chocolate: This is a specific product marketed by Lindt, often featuring flavors and ingredients inspired by the Middle East, such as dates, saffron, pistachios, or cardamom. It’s a premium Swiss chocolate infused with flavors popular in Dubai and other Gulf regions.

• "Dubai Chocolate" (General Term): This usually refers to chocolates made in Dubai or brands that are popular in Dubai, like Patchi, Mirzam, or Al Nassma (camel milk chocolate). Some people also use the term to describe luxury chocolates sold in Dubai's upscale malls and airports, often featuring gold leaf, exotic nuts, or traditional Middle Eastern spices.

So while Lindt’s Dubai Style Chocolate is inspired by Dubai flavors, it’s still a Swiss-made chocolate, whereas Dubai Chocolate can refer to locally made or widely sold chocolates in Dubai.

Happy days are here again

 

Wow, the world (and myself) survived Black Monday! It´s already Wednesday here in Sweden. I even found *somewhat* cheaper coffee in the co-operative supermarket...

Bracing myself for the cheap Chinese steel dump or whatever is the next move of the Middle Kingdom in this saga.     

Den svarta måndagen

 

Har sett detta i "mitt" snabbköp också. Gevalia bokstavligt talat slutsålt. Vilken tur att jag fick ett gratis paket från mina föräldrar (!) för flera veckor sedan...

BLACK MONDAY

 

Me, anticipating the death of the world capitalist system at the hands of a right-wing populist Amerikan prez.. 

Is it over?

 

Rumor: The British PM Keir Starmer will give a speech today local time (Monday) declaring that globalization is over, and that both it and mass migration has failed the voters. He will also say that the Labour government will take a more active role in stimulating the economy. 

Is this it, then? Or is Sir Starmer simply shmoozing for Donald Trump to bide some time? Bide his time for...what? 

Coming up next: France will re-activate the Auld Alliance and send the Foreign Legion to Scotland. OK, maybe not this year, but wait another ten years...
