From July 1 to 7, inflation in Russia rose 0.79%, the highest weekly increase since spring 2022. The spike was driven solely by higher utility tariffs, which increased by more than planned.

The image depicts a scene illuminated by a green light, creating a monochromatic green hue throughout. In the foreground, there is a white mug filled with a light-colored liquid, possibly milk or tea, with a spoon resting inside. The mug is placed on a wooden table, which has a visible grain pattern. To the right of the mug, there is a clear plastic water bottle with a label, partially filled with water. In the background, a bed with a patterned blanket and a pillow is visible, suggesting a domestic setting. The overall atmosphere is dimly lit, with the green light casting shadows and highlighting the objects on the table.

Why Does Everyone Hate This Neighbourhood?
I’ve come to the most hated neighbourhood in Montreal to think through a common criticism of yes-in-my-backyard pro-housing advocates, which is that we focus too much on the quantity of housing built while ignoring the aesthetics and architecture, enabling ugly buildings.

The image features a gradient background transitioning from purple at the top to pink at the bottom. Centered in the image is a block of white text that reads: "opposing bigots isn't the cause of divisiveness; bigotry is." The text is in a bold, sans-serif font, making it stand out against the colorful background. At the bottom of the image, the name "A. R. Maxon" is written in a cursive, script font, also in white. The overall design is simple and direct, with the text being the focal point of the image.

Ach ja und die Diäten ein bisschen nach unten schrauben, ich glaub dann geht's auch so.
Und so dumme Fehler wie das Maut Debakel von Herr Scheuer und andere Verfehlungen knallhart abmahnen und Konsequenzen ziehen.
Ach es wäre ein Traum.

Vielleicht würde es manchen linken Gedanken entschärfen, oder manche rechte Propaganda vermeiden.
Könnte man.
Einordnung? Neeeeiiin, würde sich ja keiner mehr aufregen.

Die Union hatte und hat keine Lösung. Die linken haben eine plausible Lösung.
Deckelung bei Sozialbeitragen weg, kalte Progression regulieren (nein, der Lindner Vorschlag war damals wieder einmal Bullshit) und Vermögenssteuer her.

in reply to tagesschau • • •"Zurzeit betragen die Sozialabgaben für Beschäftigte und Arbeitgeber zusammen rund 42 Prozent des Bruttoeinkommens."
Ah, da schieben die Milchmädchen wieder Überstunden.
Beispielrechnung:
60.000 Brutto
13.000 Sozialabgaben für Arbeitnehmer
Macht knapp 22%
Mit dem Arbeitgeberanteil wäre das ca. das Doppelte, also wohl die 42%, aber die zahlt nicht der Arbeitnehmer von seinen 60.000 Brutto, sondern Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber zusammen von den gesamten ~73.000 Lohnkosten.
