This outpaced Germany’s 0.2% contraction, France’s 1.1% growth and was also ahead of Britain, whose total GDP grew by 0.9% last year”. What was crucial to this growth? Immigration and the movement of people. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

- Thank you @mollytempleton.com for the nod to Remember You Will Die! 😍"The book began to feel not as if it stared at death, but like it had found a way to show how the tendrils of each life reach out & find their way into so many other lives. It was, in the least hokey way possible, life-affirming."
