Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Kritik scheint zumindest teilweise bei der Union anzukommen (oder das glasklare Versagen der Strategie) – Söder sieht die gemeinsame Abstimmung mit der AfD vor der Wahl jetzt als Fehler an. Wenn die CDU-Spitze das jetzt auch noch lernen würde, dass sie sich mit diesem Rechtsruck selbst zerstört ...

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Wenn man als Europäer etwas länger als 30 Sekunden über die weltpolitische Lage nachdenkt, kann man nur zu einem Schluss kommen: 1. Vereinigte Staaten von Europa jetzt. 2. Rechtsextreme Parteien isolieren — und verbieten, wo es verfassungstechnisch geht. 3. EU-Armee. 4. Digitale Souveränität asap.!

My songwriting friend and I have this saying…
“Sometimes the song gets there before you do.”
What we mean is that often times the writer doesn’t know what a song is really about until long after it is finished. Sometimes only in hindsight do we know what we were trying to say.

Weil die EU Strafen gegen Musk verhängt, weil dieser Werbung nicht ordentlich kennzeichnet und Fake-Accounts verifiziert und damit seine Nutzer betrügt, will er die EU abschaffen.
Komisch, Russland hat X komplett gesperrt, aber die möchte er nicht abschaffen. Er kriegt von dort sogar Applaus.

Artomyces pyxidatus, the Crown-tipped Coral or Candelabra Coral fungus, was not seen in the UK over the entire 20th century, its last record in 1886 until a spate of recent findings around 2022, which is when I found this specimen (in East Kent). Where did it disappear all this time?

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
