Rising anti-American sentiment in Europe as President Donald Trump's policies ruffle feathers is ushering in a shift in consumer behavior, not least in attitudes toward American goods. Trump's threats to impose punitive tariffs on Europe, seize territories and pull military support in the region " including his handling of the war in Ukraine " have irked European consumers, fueling campaigns to boycott US products. There's currently no country in Europe where more than half of the population has a positive attitude toward the US, according to a YouGov poll published March 4. Opinion soured the most in Denmark, where leaders and residents were riled by Trump's plans to take control of Greenland.

Before neo-Nazi Anders Breivik massacred 77 people in Norway in 2011, he emailed a 1,518-page document, a compendium of his own writing and other far-right texts, to over 1,000 people. The deranged screed warned that Muslim immigration to Europe amounted to an "invasion" of people " whose culture was "incompatible with Western society " that would lead to the "cultural and demographic suicide" of the continent. Earlier this month, the vice president of the United States went on TV to say the same thing. Speaking with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, JD Vance asserted that Germany is suffering an "invasion" of people who are "totally culturally incompatible" with "Western civilization." This purported "invasion," Vance said, will lead to a "civilizational suicide" if it's not stopped. It barely triggers a 24-hour news cycle anymore when the vice president and his boss, President Donald Trump, use the same language as fascist mass murderers.
A jury in Georgia has ordered Bayer, the parent company of Monsanto, to pay nearly $2.1 billion to a man who says the weed killer Roundup gave him cancer. This is one of the largest verdicts yet in lawsuits against the product. The jury's decision includes $65 million for damages and $2 billion as a punishment. John Barnes filed the lawsuit in 2021 after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The verdict will help him get the treatment he needs and expose the truth about Roundup's risks. Bayer, which bought Monsanto in 2018, denies that Roundup causes cancer and plans to appeal. The company argues that scientific evidence and global regulators support the product's safety. However, Bayer has faced over 177,000 lawsuits and set aside $16 billion for settlements. Documentary about Monsanto: documentary.net Read more

Customers of 23andMe are rightly concerned about what could happen to their DNA profiles now that the ancestry-research company has filed for bankruptcy. "It looks like it's up for grabs," he said of the genetic information. "And there doesn't really seem to be any parameters regarding its use." After a customer provides a saliva sample, DNA-testing companies like 23andMe provide a profile of a person's genetic heritage. Police used forensic genetic genealogy to solve crimes. 23andMe had a data breach in 2023 and paid out $30 million to settle a class-action lawsuit. Under bankruptcy, the company's DNA database of more than 15 million customers could potentially be sold as an asset.

Automotive repossessions reportedly jumped last year to the highest level in 15 years. The last time car repossessions were at this level was in 2009, when the country was dealing with the fallout from the previous year's financial crisis, the report added. As Bloomberg notes, these numbers are another sign that Americans are having trouble staying on top of their monthly bills due to steep interest rates and higher car prices. The number of subprime borrowers who were at least 60 days late on their loans climbed to 6.56% in January, the most on record, Bloomberg added, citing Fitch Ratings. Meanwhile, purchasing a car has become more costly, with Cox data showing that the average vehicle loan rate rose by five basis points to 10.16% in February, the highest in four months, with the average monthly car payment coming to $748.
