Morlock No. 2 wrote that a recount would trigger a political earthquake. In his opinion, the Bundestag, with the exception of the AfD, sees no reason for it because the members of parliament consider their, in his view, overpaid seats to be more important than a correct election result. Moreover, the government would no longer have a majority. He expected that a recount would be rejected and said he would bet on that. #Politik #Bundestag #Wahlen (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote, citing Bloomberg from October 26, 2026, that Microsoft is offering voluntary severance packages to around 60,000 of its 223,000 employees worldwide. This corresponds to almost 27 percent of the workforce. Affected are selected business areas in the USA, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom, as well as executives up to certain management levels. Parts of sales, marketing, and data centers are exempt. According to Boeminghaus, Microsoft is investing heavily in artificial intelligence and the necessary infrastructure while also adjusting its cost structure. In July, more than 30 percent of around 8,750 employees who were eligible for a separate early retirement offer had already accepted it. He emphasized that the current offers are voluntary and do not mean that 60,000 layoffs have been decided; Microsoft expects a significantly lower acceptance rate this time. Boeminghaus presented the step as a sign that the AI revolution is changing the staffing structures of large technology companies and warned of the beginning of larger job losses. https://t.co/pA2OxhKgYU #Microsoft #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Stellenabbau (translated)

Javier Milei criticized the journalists who questioned his response to the claim that people run out of money on the 20th of the month. He said they had repeated a phrase he considered nonsensical and accused them of resorting to fallacies, such as appealing to what pollsters say or responding with personal mockery. Milei asked them to explain how a person could go ten days without eating or drinking. Regarding the argument about the use of credit cards, he suggested that one should consider what happens the following month and said that would help understand the intertemporal logic of credit. He also claimed that he had refuted the arguments about delinquency several times. He maintained that it was necessary to understand the changes in credit, low amount loans with high rates, and the dynamics following a political shock that halted credit. Additionally, he disqualified the intellectual capacity of the journalists and recommended they listen to his explanations until they understood them. #Economía #Finanzas #Periodismo (translated)
