Today In Labor History April 7, 1804: Haitian general, Toussaint Louverture died on this day. He was one of the most prominent members of the Haitian revolution for independence from France. The slave revolt against the French began in 1791 with the call by Dutty Boukman, a vodou priest. Encouraged by the French and American revolutions. Louverture led 100,000 enslaved Haitians in revolt, winning their freedom in 1793. In 1804, Haiti became first free black republic in the world. The U.S. refused to recognize Haiti for the next 70 and France extracted millions in restitution, destroying any hope of ever moving out of deep poverty. Louverture was betrayed in the end and died in prison. For a fantastic history of the Haitian Revolution, read “The Black Jacobins,” by C.L.R.James.

A fantastic video which explains why #Europe must stop relying on #America. We #European s need a strategic #independence. We shall buy from our own companies and we shall not feed the people of the #USA. #UnitedEurope now. #FederalEurope now. #EuropeanArmy now.

#Trump ’s administration made it clear with #signalGate and new #tariffs that they hate us. Simple as that. We must jump off the american truck and find our own path. Our common path.

It's not the 1970s, #JeromePowell stresses [we’ll see]

We face risks for higher #unemployment, higher #inflation, that's difficult for a central bank

Powell also said:

Fed #independence on monetary policy is critical, to keep it should not get involved in other issues. [Trump also has expressed interest in making the Fed much less independent as he has done to other #FederalAgencies]

Earlier Friday, #Trump said it would be the "perfect" time for the Fed to lower interest rates.

Yes, "Buy #European" is trending but it also sucks. A lot.

Hear me out: I understand and also feel the urge for tech #independence, particularly from the US, right now.

But just because something is European doesn't make it good or ethical.

@Tutanota People shouldn't trust you because you're "from Europe" or German or whatever. But because you have an #ethical business model, employ good people, care about your users, respect #humanrights and build free and #opensource software.
