2 procent belasting voor de superrijken? Niet onlogisch, vindt het kabinet, maar lastig waar te maken Het nieuwe kabinet staat welwillend tegenover een minimum vermogensbelasting van 2 procent voor de superrijken, maar voorziet grote uitvoeringsproblemen en internationaal verzet. Daarom worden er voor...

Nederland koos:
Als je zo rijk bent dat het lastig is vast te stellen hoe rijk precies, vindt de regering het te ingewikkeld om belasting te heffen.
Gevolg: mensen met modale en transparante inkomens moeten dan maar meer betalen.

Trump is today telling every member of the US military that it is ok with him if Russia helps Iran kill them--every one.

Once again Americans, Trump looks at US military personnel as suckers and losers that he can sacrifice for his own glory and profit. This is who leads

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Hungary grabbed Ukraine's state bank convoy.

Russia immediately deployed recycled Moldova election bots to spin it into propaganda. The money's still in Budapest. Oschadbank is going to court.

As Donald Trump embarks on another regime change – this time in Iran, a country of 90 million people – the sense of foreboding is profound. (...) the timelines are extending, and the sense is growing by the day that Trump is gambling with the fate of a country about which he knows next to nothing.

Since the second world war the US has set out to oust a government in the Middle East on average once a decade, and on almost every occasion it has left the country, and the US, worse off as unexpected consequences eventually emerge

Veteranos de Irak muestran su rechazo a la guerra de Trump en IrΓ‘n: "ΒΏCuΓ‘ntos soldados estadounidenses deben morir?"

Pese a que dos de cada tres veteranos votaron a Trump en 2024, muchos se preguntan sobre la legalidad y conveniencia de la guerra en IrΓ‘n.

Starmer’s position is entirely consistent with what he wrote about Iraq in 2003, a fact of enormous inconvenience to just about everybody currently criticising it. Happily for them, just like the entire bloody Chilcot Inquiry it is apparently very easy to ignore.

The Real Reason Trump Went to War Trump has called for sending American forces to Iran since 1980. He finally has, and must own the consequences.

The Trump administration's shifting justifications for war are a smoke screen that obscures the obvious, argues @Yair_Rosenberg. "The real impetus for such action was Trump’s imperial approach to American power, which was decades in the making."

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M β€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

10/10 Ultimately, the "Dubai dream" is just a mirage.

It is a fake paradise built on dirty money, exploited labor, and the hypocrisy of Westerners who sold their morals for zero taxes.

Now that the missiles are falling, the illusion is finally shattering

Perimenopausal women are more than twice as likely to develop bipolar disorder and 30% more likely to develop clinical depression; hormonal and physical changes associated with menopause may lead to the relapse or trigger eating disorders. Suicide rates are also higher among women of menopausal age.
