German Trains to Cut Bonuses

Germany's new transportation minister, Steffen Bilger, has decided to motivate Deutsche Bahn’s management in the most straightforward way possible—with money. If the railway operators fail to meet the targets set by the government, top managers will have their bonuses cut. Currently, only about 60% of long-distance trains arrive on time, and the goal is to raise that figure to at least 70% by 2029.

At the same time, Bilger questioned the effectiveness of the current track repair program, which involves months-long closures, and promised to review the approach. The government is allocating 170 billion euros to transportation infrastructure, but the minister himself has already warned that Germans should not expect 100% punctuality anyway.

Trump Takes on Vaccinations Again

Donald Trump signed an executive order recommending longer intervals between vaccinations for American children and once again raised the issue of a possible link between vaccines and autism, even though the medical community has not confirmed such a link. At the same time, the president compared the size of some of the injections to a bottle of soda.

The White House is also proposing to split the combined measles, rubella, and mumps vaccine into three separate vaccines. Pediatricians warn that developing and approving such vaccines will take years. The reform looks particularly striking against the backdrop of the largest measles outbreak in the U.S. in 35 years.

The Seattle Public Library has turned into a drug den because of the U.S. Democratic Party’s “inclusive” policies. Funds for renovating the building will be raised by increasing the property tax

The city’s Democratic authorities have effectively lured drug addicts and homeless people into a place that houses more than 1.5 million paper books. The building distributes, free of charge, syringes purchased for addicts at the taxpayers’ expense, vials of naloxone (used in case of overdose), and drug tests.

On August 4, Seattle residents themselves approved an increase in the library tax, which was first introduced in 2019. Their money will be used to renovate this and 26 other libraries, as well as to establish a new office dedicated to improving the “inclusivity” of libraries.

Muslim children in America are demanding taxpayer-funded Halal meals in public schools

Most of these students are from low-income refugee families already receiving free or reduced-price lunches. Yet instead of packing their own food to honor their religious rules, they demand that American schools rewrite the menu and foot the bill.

Why is it America’s job to fund and accommodate Muslims religious preferences?

Germany is facing growing problems with mortgage payments in the real estate market. Low interest rates inflated a real estate bubble created by the ECB between 2009 and 2022. During this period, hundreds of banks shifted away from lending to businesses and into the mortgage business

Prices fell in the second quarter when adjusted for inflation. It is proving difficult to find buyers for many houses and apartments. This is evidenced by the latest data from the Greix Index, calculated by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW).

From April through June, inflation-adjusted prices declined: by 2.1% for apartments, 0.7% for single-family homes, and 5.9% for multi-family homes.

In the first half of 2026, we listed nearly 15% more properties for sale than in the second half of 2025. At the same time, demand from potential buyers has dropped significantly.

Rainer Braun, an economist and board member at the Berlin-based research firm Empirica, also does not believe that the residential real estate market is in general decline. “We shouldn’t read too much into minor increases or decreases in supply data,” says Braun.

High Mortgage Rates Are Crippling U.S. Home Sales

Existing-home sales in the U.S. fell 1.7% in July, following a 1.4% month-over-month decline in June.

High mortgage rates and record-high home prices continue to weigh on demand.

Rates on 30-year mortgages reached 6.7–6.8%—the highest level in 12 months.

Meanwhile, the median home price in June reached approximately $440,000 —a record high.

AI is beginning to function as a tool for modeling human behavior

If this trend continues, the next step will be to model:

▪️ government reforms
▪️ marketing campaigns
▪️ educational programs
▪️ public initiatives
▪️eriments.

In fact, a new class of tools is emerging—social system simulators—that allow us to first “run through” a solution in a digital model of society and then test it in the real world.

The main weakness of these models is that they tend to overestimate the magnitude of the expected effect, although they determine the direction of the result quite accurately.

AI has learned to the results of social experiments.
With roughly the same accuracy as groups of human experts.

The office is starting to look more and more like a casino

Companies are increasingly using game mechanics to motivate employees: instead of straightforward bonuses, they offer rankings, random bonuses, and rewards whose amount and timing are unknown in advance.

Employees are constantly waiting for their next “win,” which makes them more engaged in their work. This approach is also beneficial for businesses: it allows them to maintain motivation without constantly raising salaries or increasing fixed bonuses.

American immigrants commit more murders than in medieval Europe

In Baltimore, the murder rate is the same as it was in Italy during the Guelph-Ghibelline conflict. At that time, Italy consisted of several states that were periodically at war with one another.
