Hvis mennesker kan flyve til månen, så kan vi for fanden da også genskabe Mette Frederiksens slettede SMS’er. Hvis mennesker kan flyve til månen, så kan vi for fanden da også lave et ordentligt ejendomsvurderingssystem. Hvis mennesker kan flyve til månen, så kan vi for fanden da også stoppe væksten i antallet af statslige bureaukrater. Hvis mennesker kan flyve til månen, så kan vi for fanden da også screene for antidemokratiske holdninger. Hvis mennesker kan flyve til månen, så kan vi for fanden da også tilbyde danskerne den nyeste og mest effektive kræftmedicin. Hvis mennesker kan flyve til månen, så kan vi for fanden da også sænke verdens højeste skattetryk. Fortsæt gerne listen. #Danmark #Politik #Samfund
Fanny Nilsson argues in her article that the biggest crisis in Swedish healthcare is about the lack of continuity in relationships and access to a permanent doctor, rather than just about waiting lists and privatizations, and that such a model would lead to lower mortality and more efficient resources.

Jag vill se en utredning om hur många miljarder kronor av våra skattepengar som har gått som stöd/bidrag till täckföreningar och frontorganisationer som i sin tur utbildar och driver vänsterrörelsens politik och arbete i Sverige. Skattepengar som gått till t ex miljö/klimat, hbtq+, asyl, islam, minoriteter, jämställdhet, feminism, andra kulturer än den svenska, integrationsåtgärder utan resultat, allmänt snömos och mys med batiktanter, osv. Våra skattepengar ska inte spenderas på vänstervridna insatser!☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻 Insatser bekostade av våra skattepengar ska vara opolitiska, resultatdrivna och effektiva, uppföljningsbara och redovisade. Punkt. #skattepengar #politik #Sverige

@Nilbaronessen @oresundsbaron Jeg synes ikke jeg har set noget "ubarmhjertig fægten med verdens fattigste" fra Øresundsbaronen. Jeg har kun set ham kritisere midler der netop ikke effektivt går til verdens fattigste. #fattigdom #socialretfærdighed #effektivitet
Läste att det inte varit en enda dödsskjutning under augusti så här långt. Det kan bara finnas tre möjliga förklaringar. 1. Kommunerna har blivit sjukt mycket bättre på det förebyggande arbetet 2. Skärpta straff har haft avskräckande effekt. 3. Polisen har börjat steppa upp. #brott #säkerhet #samhallet

Professor Stefan Wirz explains that melatonin can help chronic pain patients suffering from insomnia to break the vicious cycle of pain and lack of sleep and may directly influence pain processing, while a recent meta-analysis shows that it can reduce the consumption of painkillers like ibuprofen, but further research is needed to assess the clinical relevance of these effects.

The marginalization is deep, and those affected suffer. The effects on the surrounding society are also noticeable. When children do not get to see their parents go to work, it creates a breeding ground for everything from inherited marginalization to recruitment into crime. (translated)

Klaus-Michael Kühne ist heute gestorben! Klaus hinterlässt ein Vermögen irgendwo zwischen 23 - 40 Milliarden Euro. Allein diese Spannbreite ist absurd. Wie reich einer der reichsten Deutschen tatsächlich war, weiß niemand genau. Große Privatvermögen werden in Deutschland nicht vollständig amtlich erfasst, man arbeitet mit Schätzungen. Bei Bürgergeldempfängern wird jeder Euro geprüft. Bei Milliardären wissen wir teilweise nicht einmal auf zehn Milliarden genau, wie reich sie sind. Allein 2022 flossen Kühne laut Surplus 4,4 Milliarden Euro Dividenden zu, bei einer geschätzten Steuerbelastung von unter 9 Prozent. Hapag-Lloyd selbst zahlte im Rekordjahr effektiv rund 1 % Steuern. Sein Vermögen geht nun an seine Stiftung, ohne klassische Erbschaftsteuer. Und auch die Herkunft dieses Reichtums gehört dazu: Kühne + Nagel war während der NS-Zeit an der sogenannten „M-Aktion“ beteiligt, bei der Eigentum deportierter und ermordeter Jüdinnen und Juden aus rund 70.000 Wohnungen abtransportiert und verwertet wurde. Eine umfassende unabhängige Aufarbeitung gibt es bis heute nicht. Milliarden erben, Milliarden Dividenden kassieren, kaum besteuert werden, Vermögen steuerbegünstigt weitergeben – und normalen Leuten erzählen, für Rente, Pflege und Sozialstaat sei kein Geld da. Das ist keine Naturordnung. Das ist Klassenpolitik. #KlausMichaelKuehne #Vermögen #Klassenpolitik
Vet ni vad jag läser i SvD? Att en ny mätning visar att fler väljare tror att de skulle få mindre pengar kvar i plånboken om Magdalena Andersson blir statsminister. Det är helt korrekt. Höjd skatt på arbete, boende, sparande och på bensin har den effekten. Väljarna är inte dumma. #politik #skatter #väljare
