Poland shifts defence spending to domestic, regional suppliers
x/russian
— 13h
Poland is pivoting its defence procurement toward domestic and Central European suppliers as it builds Europe's largest land army, quadrupling spending to 30.4 billion zlotys and targeting about €53 billion in core defence this year. Officials say this shift strengthens supply-chain resilience, reduces reliance on distant vendors, and prioritizes domestically produced drones, ammunition and other frequently used equipment amid Russia's threat and lessons from the Ukraine war.

WPP Plans Up to 1,000 Job Cuts

— 14h
WPP plans to cut up to 1,000 more jobs by year-end and accelerate a restructuring that consolidates Ogilvy, VML and AKQA into a single WPP Creative unit, while trimming non-core assets and potentially selling real estate and even the 40% stake in Kantar. The moves come amid weaker client budgets and efficiency gains from AI, with WPP targeting a 12-13% operating margin after reporting a revenue decline, as similar cost-cutting cascades through the broader advertising industry.

Rams Owner Stan Kroenke Reportedly Buying Los Angeles Angels from Arte Moreno
The post by sports insider Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) claims that Stan Kroenke, owner of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams (and other teams), is purchasing the MLB’s Los Angeles Angels from longtime owner Arte Moreno. It notes this would give Kroenke controlling interests in the Rams (NFL), Angels (MLB), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), and Arsenal (soccer). It is trending due to the massive multi-league sports empire angle, the unpopularity of Moreno’s Angels tenure (often criticized for wasting Mike Trout’s prime with little playoff success), high engagement (thousands of likes/views shortly after posting), and excitement/speculation about future competitiveness and stadium possibilities.

July’s Australian inflation surprised on the upside, with a 3.5% year-on-year rise and a 1.0% monthly jump, driven by housing, food, and recreation, keeping the Reserve Bank's rate-hike risk firmly in play as it sits above the 2-3% target. Core inflation remained stubbornly high, with the trimmed mean at 3.6% and a 0.5% monthly rise, underscoring persistent price pressures that bolster calls for another rate increase.

Boston Fed finds productivity offsets 2025 tariff inflation
x/donald-john-trump
— Aug 19, 2026
A Federal Reserve Bank of Boston study finds that productivity growth in 2025 offset much of the inflationary pressure from President Donald Trump’s tariffs, leaving a net impact of about 0.5 percentage points on core PCE inflation. The research suggests tariffs alone do not explain the 3% inflation level, as stronger productivity and reduced hours helped producers absorb higher costs, though other factors may still be driving inflation higher.
