Købekraften for overførselsmodtagerne er næsten 5 pct. lavere end i 2021😬

Samtidig steg reallønnen på borgen med 80%😉

Inflationen er under kontrol. Men fødevarepriserne gør ondt på lavindkomstgrupperne. Der er store forskelle i danskernes købekraft: På det private arbejdsmarked er reallønnen ca. 4 pct. højere end i 2021, mens købekraften for overførselsmodtagerne er næsten 5 pct. lavere end i 2021 #dkøko #dkpol

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

Min kollega, MF Victoria Velasquez, er blevet bordet og ulovligt tilbageholdt af Israel i internationalt farvand, da hun forsøgte at sejle mad og medicin til Gaza.
Jeg forventer, at vores regering kræver Victoria og de andre aktivister øjeblikkeligt løsladt, og fordømmer Israels forbrydelser #dkpol

My colleague, MP Victoria Velasquez, has been boarded and unlawfully detained by Israel in international waters while attempting to sail food and medicine to Gaza.
I expect our government to demand the immediate release of Victoria and the other activists, and to condemn Israel’s crimes. #dkpol

Flying cars are the perfect example of a point solution: trying to solve a systemic problem (traffic) with an individual product (fly over the traffic).

But traffic is not a technology problem; it's a social problem. Remote work, congestion fees, and dense transit-connected housing solve it better.

ae @aelkus.bsky.social · 2d

which then begs the question of why you want flying cars instead of whatever mass transportation equivalent you imagine

Antarktis har længe været betragtet som mere stabilt end Arktis, men i dag er billedet ændret: Havis forsvinder, temperaturer stiger også her, isstrømme accelererer, og smeltevand trænger ned i gletsjernes sprækker, hvilket får dem til at glide hurtigere ud i havet.
