"And the worst part is that the perpetrators of these acts will never face any consequences. I've had enough of the images of destruction that are a symbol of a cowardly state that lacks the courage to act decisively against them." "This is today's France. And some try to excuse it by saying that they are just 'dissatisfied students'." (translated)

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that the construction of a pipeline linking Alberta to the Pacific coast could begin after a final green light expected next summer, as part of a strategy to make Canada an energy superpower and reduce its dependence on the United States. (translated)

"Regardless of the scenario that will unfold globally in the coming years, the continuation of international conflicts is, unfortunately, very likely. This is partly due to the fact that fundamental changes in progress — and the opportunities they provide — are fueling ambitions and the desire to take risks in hopes of seemingly huge gains.” Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that the probability of international disputes continuing is very high as the world changes, but that the situation will improve with the decline of what he called "Western hegemony," Reuters reports.

PATIENT CHOICE OR WHEN A PODCAST IS WORTH SOMETHING IS ⚕️ And a bizarre unpleasant debate about colonoscopy can have one positive outcome. I can show you what specifically I want to change in healthcare. Capsule colonoscopy is a modern alternative; you swallow a small camera that takes thousands of images. However, if you choose it today instead of the covered standard, the insurance will not contribute even what it would otherwise pay for a regular examination. You have to pay for the entire procedure yourself. And that is exactly why I advocate for patient choice. The insurance will continue to pay for everything you are currently entitled to. However, if you choose a different, more expensive option, you will only pay the difference. We are not taking anything from anyone. We are just giving people a greater opportunity to decide about their own care. What do you think about that? 💙 (translated)

Lawyer Claudia De Rosa found herself in an embarrassing situation in court after the justice of the peace, commenting on her lack of toga due to a strike, made an inappropriate joke suggesting that she could also undress, provoking her indignation and that of the female colleagues present.

Regarding Mounjaro and similar "weight loss medications." A patient whom the orthopedic surgeon did not want to operate on for a hip replacement until she lost weight. She was practically in a wheelchair, or on crutches. So, movement was not possible. She lost 10 kg, is now post-operation, and will start rehabilitation. 👍 (translated)

I just read in detail the 2027 finance bill that was submitted this morning by the Prime Minister ✅ Let's overlook the fact that the proposed savings are clearly insufficient. What I noted regarding taxation: • No general increase in capital taxation • No direct attack concerning the PEA • No change regarding the Exit Tax (and this is what interested me the most) • Reduction of 30% of the exceptional surtax on large companies (positive for the large groups concerned, including several companies in the CAC 40) • No new tax or tightening announced specifically targeting wealth management holdings • Indexation of the income tax scale to inflation • No cuts to the Dutreil pact (business transmission) • No increase in donation/succession rights (but no decrease either) • Several measures favorable to the transmission and productive investment of businesses We will now have to remain vigilant about the modifications that could be made by parliamentarians, But in any case, the Government's proposal remains quite timid regarding tax increases, which is an excellent thing ✅ (translated)

For me, great! (translated)

Donald Tusk talks about Poland flourishing economically, while at the same time hospitals stop admitting patients due to exhaustion of funds for medication programs. Mr. Prime Minister, success propaganda will not heal patients. You are unable to govern, so it’s time for resignation! (translated)

López Obrador is one of the worst things that has happened to this country, a man filled with complexes and resentments who ended up taking advantage of poverty and ignorance, who manipulated the people he called “solovino” to destroy all checks and limits to his power. I believe that the old man will not live long enough to see himself in the reflection of a history that will condemn him and his 4T as one of the worst moments for the country, where ignorance governed and the government made deals with drug traffickers causing what could well have been something very similar to genocide. A period full of pain and meanness. The fate of his closest ones is sealed, I highly doubt that the United States cares about his message filled with clichés or his jokes about social media that now expose him. The old man is cornered and his children are cornered. A large part of his "people" despises him. His pets, his paid applaud-ers, his doormats, and his kissing posts will be forgotten, stored in the drawer of shame, and, very likely, those who still face the judgment of history will end up betraying their little cotton-headed leader, they will deny him more than three times. But, how big is the fear of losing power?, what will they be capable of doing in the drug government before the final blows? Because I don't believe that their secret weapon is a boring (and lying) history class... or is it? (translated)

If I had given ChatGPT this prompt: "write me an article about Ukraine that is pro-Putin, that instrumentalizes peace to justify the surrender of Kyiv, and that repeats Russian propaganda about the causes of the war," it would have come out as Bettini's piece in today's Corriere. (translated)
