This sounds like the start of a comedy sketch https://www.economist.com/europe/2026/08/06/italians-may-help-germany-get-its-trains-to-run-on-time

Sadly true. Germany has had train and infrastructure issues for a while, now.

I hope they also fix their old gatehouses while they're at it.

Jared Kushner Bought $125 Million of Albanian Beach Front From an Alleged Coke Trafficker, and It All Just Exploded

How to torch a “generational” Balkan real estate empire in eight easy months

So let’s recap the pattern, because it’s a pattern:

Serbia: massive Kushner project → forged document → officials indicted → protests → project dead.

Albania: massive Kushner project → allegedly forged documents → seller wanted for coke trafficking → protests → money frozen → project on life support.

At some point you have to ask: is Jared the unluckiest real estate developer in the Balkans, or is “buy politically-gifted land in fragile democracies from questionable people at lightning speed” just a business model with a very predictable failure state?

The Trump-associated money ball will all be spent within two generations. Hopefully through settling lawsuits.

Two generations is a very optimistic estimate.

I found this interesting and pretty scary. The very economics of our country are calculating to ensure hatred and distrust amongst us.

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/6030279-us-societal-distrust-growth/

The institutional elite discovered that rage scales infinitely better than unity. A divided populace creates highly predictable voting blocks and captive consumer markets. This calculated division ensures that the industry of outrage remains fully funded and sustained. Every political campaign relies on the explicit premise that the opposition intends to dismantle civilization — either forcing you into communism or fascism, neither of which, if we are being honest, sounds particularly appealing.

<snip>

The country is locked into a cycle where distrust breeds contempt, contempt destroys relationships, and destroyed relationships ensure that the next generation doubles down on the disdain. The country is settling into a permanent, highly profitable state of mutual loathing. For much of its history, the United States has been united more in name than in reality. Now, it’s a nation divided not only by borders, but by an unbridgeable psychological gulf.

Keep in mind that Jared Kushner is the son of Charles Kuschner, who was convicted for tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions and witness tampering (among other things). One particular heinous thing he did was the attempted hiring of a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law so he could blackmail him. Very Epsteinian.

These are two families of crooks and swindlers, it's no wonder they merged and their offspring continues to be involved in these shady business deals.

Heard about that. This is a good time to buy EE Bonds, rates are being forced up by investors who have stopped trusting and are bluntly saying "Show me". Well, good if you think the U.S. is still going to be a going concern and not pull an Argentina.
