Full Summary

Pieter Garicano argues in Works in Progress Magazine that Europe's rigid dismissal protections—like 62 months' salary in Spain or €167,000 per worker for Opel's 2014 factory closure—deter firms from high-stakes bets in EVs, AI, or space tech. While Volkswagen outspends U.S. rivals on R&D, it sticks to safe improvements rather than breakthroughs, and economists link this to Europe's lag in AI chips and mRNA vaccines. Critics cite studies showing protections can spur innovation, plus successes in flexicurity models like Denmark's, but many call for reforms to boost dynamism without sacrificing social stability.

Key Takeaway

Europe boasts educated workers and solid infrastructure, yet incomes have fallen 20 percent behind U.S. levels since 2000. A new article pins the gap on strict firing rules that make bold risks too costly for companies.

The European Commission cleared Universal Music Group's $775 million purchase of Downtown Music Holdings, which includes services like Fuga, CD Baby, and Songtrust for independent artists and labels. The deal faced a deep probe over competition risks, especially UMG potentially accessing sensitive rival data through Downtown's Curve Royalty Systems. To fix that, UMG must fully divest Curve—including its data, staff, and software—to an independent buyer, while indies like IMPALA express doubts about the outcome for Europe's music culture.

Key Takeaway

After a year of intense scrutiny, regulators greenlit a major music merger—but only if Universal hands over a vital royalty platform to keep rivals safe.

Real Madrid edged Benfica 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League knockout tie at Estádio da Luz, thanks to Vinícius Júnior's opener. Tensions erupted when Prestianni covered his mouth with his shirt from 20 meters away, prompting referee François Letexier to invoke FIFA's anti-racism protocol as Real players claimed he called Vinícius 'mono' five times. Kylian Mbappé and Federico Valverde backed their teammate, while Benfica released footage denying the slur and coach José Mourinho insisted his club isn't racist; UEFA has opened a disciplinary probe that could ban Prestianni for 10 matches.

Key Takeaway

Vinícius Júnior celebrated his goal with a dance, but Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni's reaction stopped the Champions League match cold for nearly 10 minutes.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee held a hearing on U.S. policy challenges in Syria after Bashar al-Assad's fall in December 2024, focusing on rising atrocities against religious and ethnic minorities under interim leader Ahmad al-Sharaa. Witnesses detailed mass killings of over 1,500 Alawites in March 2025, more than 1,000 deaths in Suwayda including abductions of Druze women and girls, a suicide bombing that killed 25 Christians at Damascus's Mar Elias Church, and brutal offensives against Kurds with beheadings and executions. Chairman Brian Mast warned al-Sharaa against eroding U.S. trust, while calls grew to enforce minority protections, manage Turkish influence, and potentially reimpose sanctions amid tensions with the Trump administration.

Key Takeaway

Lawmakers from both parties voiced sharp frustration over attacks on Druze, Kurds, Alawites, and Christians in Syria's fragile new era.

Caviezel starred as Jesus in the 2004 hit The Passion of the Christ, which grossed $612 million despite industry backlash he later described as rejection by his peers. He continued with roles in Deja Vu and Person of Interest but found major acclaim in 2023's Sound of Freedom, portraying anti-trafficking activist Tim Ballard in a $250 million box-office success fueled by grassroots efforts. While the film faced criticism for sensationalism and QAnon links, and Ballard denies recent misconduct allegations, fans celebrate Caviezel's unwavering faith and upcoming projects like Archangel.

Key Takeaway

Mel Gibson warned Jim Caviezel that playing Jesus would end his Hollywood career. At 34, with initials J.C., Caviezel prayed and embraced his cross anyway.
