Gli italiani hanno inequivocabilmente votato per il fallimento dell’INPS.
Applausi.
Davvero istruttivo leggere i commenti di chi vuole insegnarti l'economia senza capire il concetto di adverse selection.
Proviamoci con un semplice quiz da prima ragioneria:
Il candidato esamini il caso di due Paesi: il Paese A concede la cittadinanza dopo 5 anni, il Paese B dopo 10 anni (+ 3 anni di burocrazia).
In quale Paese sceglierà di lavorare un immigrato ad elevata professionalità e ad alto reddito potenziale?
E quale invece attrarrà proporzionalmente più immigrati a bassa qualifica?
Arla has ended the Bovaer trial in the UK, just after massive problems appeared in Denmark. But what bovine stupidity led to Bovaer being introduced in the first place? A thread (1/n)
Bovaer is a product of the Net Zero cult that has seen UK FIRES call for beef and lamb to eliminated by 2050. Of course they want to reduce methane emissions as well as CO2 (2/n)
The CCC have been less draconian. They want meat consumption to fall 35% by 2050 compared to 2019 and a 38% cut in the number of cattle and sheep, despite acknowledging methane emissions are already 62% lower than 1990 levels (4/n)
This is the story of the man who would become the first ruler to be known as “the Great” after Alexander, and, like him, would be at his peak the most powerful man on Earth, who inherited a decaying empire, and led it to greatness. It's the story of Antiochos III. 🧵
Antiochus wasn't destined to become a king. He was the younger son of Seleukos II, and so, his brother became king as Seleukos III afterwards. When he in turn was assassinated while campaigning in Anatolia, Antiochos ascended to the throne in 223 BC. Antiochos was ~20 yo.
The empire he inherited was in crisis. Two realms, the Parthian and Greco-Bactrian kingdoms, had formed out of its northeastern part, and in Anatolia, the kingdom of Pergamon had made progress against the Seleukids. In addition, royal power had declined under his predecessors.
1) The Bedouin couple that was murdered lived on the edge of Mouhajireen neighborhood, they had lived there for 30 years and were known by everyone. Of course their killing was intended to cause this chaos
2) they were from the Beni Khaled tribe, who responded by storming the mostly Alawi Mouhajireen neighborhood, vandalizing homes and potentially killing two people (unconfirmed as far as I know).
Around 1:20pm armed convoys arrived in central Homs shooting in the air.
3) At this point Zahraa & Abbasiyah neighborhoods were locked down (both are adjacent to Mouhajireen). General security deployed on all main entrances and were turning cars away
The neighborhoods were already ghost towns with almost every shop closed and streets empty
En 1892, el catalán Ramón Gabarró presentó una pila tan avanzada que los ingenieros de la época pensaron que era imposible que funcionara. Nadie imaginó que aquel invento olvidado acabaría siendo la raíz de Duracell y de la batería que llegó a la Luna. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Gabarró era un autodidacta incansable que estaba convencido de que la electricidad portátil debía ser ligera, segura y barata, algo que las pilas existentes no podían ofrecer. Por eso desarrolló una pila seca compacta mucho más estable que cualquier otra de aquel momento.
Su objetivo era mostrarla en París y Londres, donde llegó a presentarla ante técnicos y empresas. Incluso hizo pruebas en tranvías, pero el clima político europeo y la falta de financiación hicieron que su invento quedara estancado y regresara a España con su proyecto paralizado.
Bloomberg: Trump’s “peace plan” was secretly written in Miami by Witkoff, Putin’s envoy Dmitriev, & Jared Kushner.
This is how Moscow hijacked U.S. policy.
Bigger than Watergate.

Bloomberg confirms: Ukraine is being pressured by a compromised White House to accept a deal effectively written by Russia — the 28-point plan was drafted in Miami. Rubio was blindsided, Trump approved it at the last minute, & Vance took control in Washington.

The Guardian found native Russian wording — & Rubio confirmed the draft was crafted with Putin’s envoy before backpedaling.
Senators King, Rounds & Shaheen say Rubio told them the 28-point plan is “the Russians’ wish list” given to Ukraine/Europe to create panic
@Liv_Agar @CallaWalsh The Nazi war machine was already ramping up for war against the USSR specifically, with the 'Western' Empires hoping that Fascist Germany would deal with the "communist menace" for them.
The USSR was able to secure advanced machining tech in exchange for raw materials
@Liv_Agar @CallaWalsh The basis of the USSR's victory was its rapid industrialization, its how they fought off and destroyed 3/4ths of the Nazi military
The USSR strengthened by the year in the 1930s, while the Germans, lacking the manpower or resources for a war of attrition, weakened comparatively
This is the story of how I nearly lost everything to activist Swedish Social Services.
In 2017, my family and I were living in Sweden.
I had lived there before as a single man. We thought it was the safe, stable, open society everyone in the West keeps praising.
What happened instead nearly destroyed us.
I am a former Marine with a couple combat deployments to Afghanistan (this detail matters) and was part of Marine Corps Forces European Command in Germany. I worked for Amazon Web Services with a Nordic focus, staged in Stockholm
I managed teams across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.
We lived in the countryside, paid taxes, followed every rule. We even insisted on speaking the local language.
We tried to be the ideal expat family.
Then the Swedish social services system turned its eyes on my family.
Not because of abuse. Not because of neglect.
One of my kids insisted on being "decidedly American". He climbed trees, he was enthusiastic, he was proud of my military service, he would not stand in line if he couldn't determine a reason. He was the James Dean 'Rebel Without a Cause' archetype, despite our pleadings.
And in Sweden, that non-compliance simply would not do.
What we didn't know was that the Swedish Social Services system is engineered to view foreign families as disruptions to the social order if they are not "Swedish Enough" (their words).
Once you fall into their process, innocence and evidence do not matter.
All that matters is their internal bureaucratic logic.
If they decide you are a target, you are a target.
Swedish friends warned me that Social Services was the last holdout of hard-line Marxists who believed the doctrine of the "New Swedish Man" (Nya Svenska Man), where they could recreate people based on their social and political doctrines.
And because we were Americans during the first Trump Admin, pursuing us was considered "punching up".
We began to notice things. Strangers watching our house. Our kids would come home from school and tell us they were taken out of class in a room with strangers and talked for hours. But they couldn't remember about what. They were 1, 9, 11, and 13. But it was basically about if they were happy at home.
We started getting unexplained letters and visits from state employees. Teachers calling us, telling us that our kids wouldn't listen, would climb trees, put olives on their fingers at lunch, or go to the bathroom without asking. We were told it was "unusual".
We received a letter telling us to meet with state officials, so we did. The kids were taken and put in a room and interrogated (after being plied with juice and cookies).
Most know Kirill Dmitriev as the Russian president’s envoy. But to more than 200 investors in Ukraine, he is known for taking part in a Kyiv real estate project that ended in a fraud and criminal case. Using articles from 2011, I was able to find more details. 🧵Thread:
2/ The story begins in 2000s, when N. Lahuna and A. Dmitriev (Kirill Dmitriev’s father) planned the elite suburban “Olympic Park.” Construction was to be carried out by Traverz-Bud, a subsidiary of "Evropa", in which, according to "Argument," Kirill Dmitriev held a majority stake
3/ Based on court documents cited in the media, in 2011 (links at the end), a prosecutor’s audit found that construction of the properties, which under agreements with the developers of the “Olympic Park” was due to be completed by the end of 2008, has not been carried out

19-Jähriger stürzt auf
▶️ AfD-Weihnachtsfeier ab – und
▶️ attackiert einen ausländischen Arzt in der Notaufnahme
Nur auf den ersten Blick ist die Geschichte von
Matthis M. (Name geändert) schnell erzählt.
Dann, wenn man sich darauf beschränkt, die Ereignisse zu schildern, die sich in der Nacht zum 16. Dezember 2024 abgespielt haben.
Am Abend zuvor hat der junge Mann aus dem Gebhardshainer Land eine Weihnachtsfeier der AfD auf dem Westerwald besucht.
Dort hat er laut Zeugenaussagen gesungen und geredet, vor allem aber: ▶️ getrunken und gekifft.
So viel, dass er gegen Mitternacht mit Atemaussetzern und Krämpfen auf dem Boden lag und seine Parteifreunde den Notarzt rufen mussten.
Info zum HOLOCAUST
Und das Ziel war nicht „Unterwerfung“ oder „Vertreibung“.
‼️Das Ziel war: AUSLÖSCHUNG. KOMPLETT.
▶️ Bis zum letzten Kind.
▶️ Ein ganzes Volk sollte aus der Welt radiert werden, weil es existiert.
Kein „Konflikt“, kein „Bürgerkrieg“, kein
„beide Seiten“-
‼️Das war ideologisch gereinigter Vernichtungswille, in Aktenordnern abgeheftet und mit Stempeln versehen.
▶️ Das macht den Holocaust einzigartig – und ja, deshalb „das schlimmste Verbrechen“:
▶️ Weil hier die Kälte des Systems auf den Fiebertraum des RASSISMUS traf.
