They don't understand anything. Starting today, ALL OF EUROPE will demand that UEFA take action against FCB, because not acting is impossible. At what point do they think UEFA is going to say "we've analyzed everything and we're going to do nothing"? 😂 (translated)

We have known Rutte for a long time as a pathological liar, but now the rest of the world is getting to know him as such! He was made to look ridiculous by the Prime Minister of Lithuania, because there is absolutely NO EVIDENCE of a Russian threat! Who would have thought that? 😅 Rutte was a JOKER! (translated)

“Hemos tomado la decisión deliberada de absorber estos costes, los cuales vemos como transitorios, en vez de trasladarlos a los consumidores, para mantener los precios constantes y la inercia de pedidos”Según la citada información, Shein facturó 11.082 millones de dólares (+0,9%) y sus ingresos operativos se situaron en 235 millones (-66,3%), algo que su fundador y presidente, Chris Xu, achacó a “una fuerte subida de los precios del petróleo y los costes logísticos ante las tensiones geopolíticas en Oriente Medio”. #Shein #Bolsa #Economía

VVD is backing down again. How can a @Minister_FIN in heaven's name want to halve the tax-free allowance and not realize that this affects small savers? It's messing around. The cabinet is already throwing the plan that affects small investors and savers in the trash. (translated)

A reflection from Colombia Colombia has just spent one night experiencing the arrival of BTS and, amidst all the excitement, we have also seen how situations that do not correspond or are presented out of context are starting to be attributed to the Colombian fandom. We completely understand the concern regarding what happened at the airport. As a fandom, we also consider it essential that BTS's privacy is respected, and that is precisely why we are vigilant about the actions of Colombian media and attentive to any situation that may violate their rights or privacy. It is not about justifying behaviors that are not appropriate. If something needs to be pointed out, it will be pointed out. If something needs to be corrected, it will be corrected. But that does not mean that the actions of some individuals can be used to generalize about an entire fandom or an entire country. This is the first time BTS is in Colombia, and we are learning as we go. Thousands of people have been working for months, organizing and doing everything possible to ensure these concerts are a safe, respectful, and special experience for everyone. That's why we also ask for responsibility when sharing information. We have seen posts that use images or videos from other areas, other moments, or situations that do not correspond to what happened here to build a narrative about Colombia. That is also misinformation and unfairly affects the image of an entire country. We can talk about what happened, question it, and ask for explanations when necessary. What we do not consider correct is to turn specific situations into a representation of an entire fandom. Our goal remains the same: to protect BTS's privacy, maintain a good atmosphere for ARMY, and ensure that BTS takes the best possible experience from Colombia. And regarding the situations related to production and screens, we believe that it is correct to keep the conversation in its proper context: these are specific issues on which clarifications can be requested directly from the corresponding official sources. Requesting information, transparency, or an official statement does not mean attacking any artist or questioning the concert's execution. We want to enjoy these two concerts. We want to savor them. We want BTS to enjoy Colombia. And precisely for that reason, we will continue to act responsibly, attentive to what happens, and expressing ourselves firmly, respectfully, and professionally. Colombia deserves to be represented responsibly. (translated)

Now Sveriges Radio is reporting extensively on rapes against the elderly in home care. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about just this – about how elderly care has long functioned as a labor market for integration policy for newly arrived and immigrant labor. Some points from my review: • Elderly Minister Anna Tenje notes that elderly care has for too long been used as a labor market and integration policy arena: “Almost anyone has been allowed in.” • Foreign-born individuals account for 31.8 percent of the wage sum in care, compared to 19.1 percent in the economy as a whole. Care is the welfare sector with the highest proportion. • Of the over 20,000 unaccompanied men who arrived in 2015, 27.5 percent are now working in care, social services, and welfare – about 5,500 people. • Employers can receive very large government wage subsidies to hire, among others, newly arrived individuals. A home care entrepreneur describes to Fokus how employers are actively fed information about the support. • The Employment Service also states that the authority does not impose its own requirements for education, language, or suitability when someone is matched with elderly care: “It is the employer who sets the requirements.” • And the question that still lacks a proper answer: is there a connection between this recruitment and integration policy and the abuses? Anna Tenje says that the knowledge situation is too poor to draw that conclusion. The Crime Prevention Council has therefore been tasked with mapping the crimes.
