Die Koalition will einen Rentenfonds nach 🇸🇪 Vorbild, in den 2% des Lohns fließen.
Wie schon bei Lindners Aktienrente (remember him?) greift die progressive Kritik an diesem Element der #rentenreform viel zu kurz.
Internationale Evidenz zeigt: Kapitaldeckung = Finanzialisierungsmaschine. 🧵

Press coverage of the richest Germans is rare but focused on a minority of highly visible individuals and varies along the historical origins of fortunes.

Fossil fuel price shocks are redistribution shocks.
Last time, we warned windfall profits would benefit the ultra-rich at the expense of everyone else.
This time, there is no excuse. The numbers are in. We need windfall profit taxes & multilateral price caps now.

Ban the fucking polymarkets. Betting on death. Betting on war while Incentivizing death and war. Shaping foreign/domestic policy by rewarding the rich people already in the know and encouraging them to make decisions that destroy the world while padding their pockets. Burn it down.
Six suspected insiders made $1.2M betting on a US strike on Iran
these wallets
• were funded in the last 24h
• specifically bet for February 28
• bought "yes" hours before the strikes

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.
In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Mit Merz gibt's einen Rückschritt in die Wirtschaftspolitik der 2000er. Meine Einordnung der Agenda 2030 @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social:
Die Agenda 2030 ist ein Abstiegsprogramm
Friedrich Merz will »neuen Wohlstand für Deutschland« schaffen. Doch seine Agenda 2030 ist vor allem ein Geschenk an den deutschen Exportsektor – und macht die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung ärmer.
