In Deutschland gibt es nach Berechnungen der Unternehmensberatung BCG immer mehr "Superreiche". Das sind Menschen, die über ein Finanzvermögen von mehr als 100 Millionen US-Dollar verfügen.
Die meisten größeren Volkswirtschaften haben eine Erbschaftssteuer. Z.B. USA, Japan, Deutschland, UK, Frankreich, Italien, sogar die Schweiz. Keine Erbschaftssteuer gibt es dagegen in China, Indien, Russland.
Vermögenssteuern gibt es dagegen in deutlich weniger Ländern, u.a. Frankreich, Spanien, Schweiz.
#Miller, who served as President Donald #Trump’s senior advisor on #immigration and homeland #security, disclosed owning between $100,001 and $250,000 of Palantir stock as of mid-March, according to financial disclosure forms obtained by the watchdog group. #Ethics experts told POGO that Miller’s dual role crafting enforcement policy and investing in Palantir, which provides “mission-critical” data services for ICE, could amount to a troubling conflict of interest.
@Jagahati this is St. Matthew's German Lutheran church
amazing organist. However it's so moldy from having been flooded I can't be in it for more than a few minutes. Also very WOKE
I used to find it disturbing walking around town and seeing the damn PRIDE flags hanging on these historic churches but now I think it's good they ID themselves
‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops
A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.
“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.”
“Cops covering up their badges? ID them with their faces instead,” the site, which McDonald said went live this Saturday. The tool allows users to upload an image of a police officer’s face to search over 9,000 LAPD headshots obtained via public record requests. The site says image processing happens on the device, and no photos or data are transmitted or saved on the site. “Blurry, low-resolution photos will not match,” the site says.
“fucklapd.com uses data provided by the City of Los Angeles directly to the public,” McDonald told me in an email. “This data has been provided in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits. That means all of this information belongs to the public and is a matter of public record. fucklapd.com is not scraping any data.”
In addition to potentially identifying officers by name and serial number, FuckLAPD.com also pulls up a police officer’s salary.
“Surprisingly it [the domain name] only costs $10 a year to exercise my first amendment right to say fucklapd.com,” McDonald said. playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2… I tested the tools by grabbing an image of a white and bald police officer from an LAPD press conference addressing its use of force during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. I uploaded the image to the site, and within a few seconds the site presented me with nine headshots of officers who could be possible matches, all of them bald white men. The first correctly identified the cop in the image I uploaded.
Clicking “view profile” under the result sent me to the Watch the Watchers site by the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, a community group based in the Skid Row neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles. “All of the information on this website comes from records that were deliberately made public by the City of Los Angeles in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits,” the Watch the Watchers site says. “We plan to keep refreshing this data from new public records requests as well as to add other data.” Stop LAPD Spying Coalition is not associated with FuckLAPD.com and did not endorse the site.
McDonald told me that since the site launched, it had around 50,000 visitors, but “Because the analysis happens on-device I have no way of knowing what people are using it for, except for some people who have posted screenshots to Twitter or Instagram,” he said.
In 2018 McDonald made another tool called ICEspy which used hundreds of photos of ICE employees from LinkedIn and does much the same thing as FuckLAPD.com. “This app is designed to highlight and embarrass the organization committing atrocities against refugees and immigrants to the United States,” ICEspy’s website says. That tool originally used a Microsoft API, before Microsoft restricted access to it. McDonald said on X that he recently relaunched the tool to run locally on devices. 404 Media tested ICEspy using images of ICE employees on LinkedIn to verify if the tool worked and each result was incorrect; McDonald indicated on X he was looking for others to re-scrape LinkedIn and update the database.
Over the last few months ICE officers have consistently worn masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to shield their identity while often refusing to provide their name or even confirm the agency they belong to. This includes while violently assaulting people, detaining U.S. citizens, and pointing weapons at bystanders, leaving little room for recourse or accountability against the individual agents or the agency.
ICE’s constant use of masks has created a climate where people cannot be sure that the heavily armed group of men coming towards them are really federal agents or not. In Philadelphia, a man pretended to be an ICE agent in order to rob an auto repair shop and zip tie an employee. In Brooklyn, a man posed as an immigration officer before attempting to rape a woman.
La segunda jornada de huelga de los trabajadores del metal en Cádiz está contando con un amplio seguimiento. Si este viernes no se llega a un acuerdo con la patronal, la huelga puede convertirse en indefinida a partir de la semana que viene. #HuelgaDelMetalCadiz
El segundo día de huelga empieza con la fuerza obrera haciendo retroceder a la Policía por las calles de Cádiz. La huelga a la que hay convocados más de 27 mil trabajadores/as tuvo ayer un seguimiento casi del 100% #HuelgaDelMetalCadiz
Durante la jornada de lucha de ayer la Policía del "gobierno progresista" detuvo a 6 huelguistas. Hoy sus camaradas fueron frente a los juzgados a exigir su libertad. #HuelgaDelMetalCadiz
El conflicto ha emergido con fuerza: barricadas y cortes de tráfico con cargas policiales y detenciones, evidenciando el choque entre los trabajadores y sus legítimas demandas frente a la cerrazón de la patronal.
El alcalde de Cádiz ha ido a hacerse la foto con los trabajadores del metal en huelga y le han hablado claro: "llevamos muchos años (así) alcalde, se acabó".
"En CTM decimos NO a la basura de convenio que ha firmado UGT.
Recuperación de pluses en el 2032 al precio del 2012, una puta locura. Se sacan de la manga un contrato para menores de 25 años al 75% del salario convenio para precarizar todavía más. Eso es lo que ha firmado UGT y no lo vamos a aceptar. Son vendidos."
Siguiendo la estela de la huelga del Metal de Cantabria de hace unas semanas, 25.000 trabajadores también del sector del metal han ido a la huelga, convocados por los sindicatos CCOO y UGT [1] suponiendo un seguimiento de aproximadamente el 95% de l…

this is really a question about life expectancy, since money accumulates (or is negative and is never going back up) while intelligence (broadly defined) is an asset that takes work to use.
You could do something with more money while on your deathbed (at the worst, donate), but probably not intelligence. And doubling the allowance of a child would barely provide a candy bar.
i voted for the money. I consider myself intelligent enough to do the job i'm doing. I've never run into a problem where I felt "If I was just a bit more intelligent I could do this". I've never found something impossible for me to learn, even if it takes some effort to learn it. So, I think if I were twice as intelligent, I would perhaps have more genius insights or figure things out faster, but twice as much money would let me buy a house and have a much more stable life, which would be better for my wellbeing than being a prodigious genius, which might well make me more depressed than I currently am.
How about we flat out abduct Khamenei, Netanyahu, Putin and Zelensky. Relocate them here, maybe Texas. And make them fight to the death in televised cage matches. The loser's countries get obliterated by the US nuclear arsenal. The winner remains in captivity for the next season.
-- well, you're very unlikely to find any woke in an Orthodox parish. 😆 Ours is filled with amazingly based people. And some of my closest friends I met there are also No Agenda listeners. ;)
-- Jay was one of my early introductions as well! And then Jonathan Pageau's more gentle and thoughtful ways (which are actually way more typical of my interactions with Orthodox people) made me even more curious.
Having been a lifelong agnostic, becoming an Orthodox Christian has been a very slow process, with two years of just inquiring and then a year as a catechumen before finally being baptized. Everyone was so patient with my MANY questions and never pressured me. 😀
it's some bizarre skin issue - have seen 3 dermatologists, GP and a podiatrist as well. All they can do is steroids which boomerangs. BUT I was hooked up with a naturopath/Chiropracter and I believe I'm making progress - my spirit is light despite being confined at home Thank you for your prayers
-- oh dear, that sounds super uncomfortable and frustrating! Glad you're on an alt medical track now; hopefully, they'll help you find some answers, or at least solutions.
Just a shot in the dark... if you've had any tick bites, have you by chance ruled out alpha gal syndrome? (They order an antibody blood test.) A wide variety of skin issues are common reactions, often occurring many, many hours after eating problematic foods, which can make it hard to make the connection.
no tick bites - I did have 3 insect bites last summer which gave me problems - might be worth looking into. He's discovered liver issues and I think it's because I internalized the horror of the last 5 years - and it came out expressing through the skin. Have to say being hobbled is tiresome but it's forced me slow down, digest and start writing again
right? I was so tightly-wound thinking the more info I had the more I could protect myself & those I love. Which is actually absurd. Typical addict behavior trying to control lol That being said I would not wish anyone to have this experience
-- same, such growth! Would never wish it on anyone though.
Learning to trust God, and not try to control everything, has been oh so difficult but so very, VERY worth it. I've never felt so at peace in my life. 😀
@elston_ -- I can relate though! The debates between denominations confused me for years and were a large part of why I steered clear.
When first learning about Orthodoxy, I was quite struck by idea that it's "predenominational". So when I became intensely Christian-curious and wanted community, I figured I'd start at the root of it all and go from there. Ends up Orthodox theology and biblical interpretation are the first that have made sense to me and seemed internally consistent. 🤷♀️
@elston_ I love to hear your enthusiasm! I felt that way about the Episcopal church - I love the rites and rituals of the BCP. Then I fell in love with the Congregational Church - especially as it was'n't top down. Who knows?
– I've also had many questions about baptism, especially for infants!
I barely dare try to articulate my feeble grasp/why I'm comfortable with it now. It's only come through just starting to understand, and personally experiencing, how the holy traditions of the church–baptism, liturgy, Eucharist, confession–combine to gently orient a soul towards God; and, at the same time, each person themselves chooses to maintain that orientation, even after being baptized at whatever age.
baby shah is even less than eric adams. and i dont say that lightly. the son of a dog who hasn't stepped foot in "his" country since he was 12 years old and wants to be put on a throne by a country that's itching to massacre "his" people. that throne is in a museum. maybe we should put baby shah in one too...
@benda did you see the thing where he said he wouldn't be able to live in Iran full time because his business and social life is centered in the US (or something like that?). Just said it right out loud.
hes fucking oblivious. i honestly hope he gets the chance to go back to iran so he can face, for the first time in his entire nepo-baby life, the opinion of the iranian people.
Al-Udeid airbase in the Qatari capital was struck by at least three ballistic missiles in response to Washington's bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities
My poor kitty Lola. She still poops on the floor, which is semi-manageable now because I place puppy pads next to the litterbox. She also has blood in her urine. She's had 2 rounds of antibiotics and her culture is bacteria-free, so she has "idiopathic cystitis," ie no known cause. The vet suggests I give her Gabapentin to "manage stress," and I guess I'll try it, but I doubt the cause is "stress." I'm considering that the cats got Covid from me in 2023, when I was completely bed-bound for 4 weeks and sick for months, and that may be the source of their autoimmune disease too (they both have IBD) and complications. Which means, not much to be done. They're already both on prednisone for IBD, which shortens their lives all by itself. We (meaning my Mom, they're her cats too) have spent a lot of money on teats and treatments and vet visits, and some point need to stop and let the inevitable occur. My poor kitty.
Here's a pic of her cooling off on the floor under the ceiling fan yesterday.

This heat wave is absolutely bone crushing, and I'm so glad that I installed central air two years ago.
But if you are without central air, or you're dealing with a heat wave for the first time because it's reaching areas that don't historically get this hot, here are a few tips from my years of poverty in a desert:
1. Pay attention to what direction your residence faces, and where the windows are. Cover/close all east and north facing windows in the first half of the day, and south and west starting no later than 10am.
I do this, it makes a huge difference. I close all my windows when the temp outside rises above inside temp. And open them again when temp equalizes on the way down/nighttime. Also, if you have multi-level dwelling, open windows on all floors, sometimes a breeze develops going up/down stairs.
2. Keep air moving, even if you can't open any windows. Ceiling fans are better than nothing, but hot air rises, so I find that big box fans work better. If you are using ceiling fans, make sure they're rotating counter-clockwise (they should have a switch)
During the brutal heat dome here we put damp towels in the freezer for our pets as well. The dog liked to lay on them and the cat like them draped over him. My pup also had an evaporative bandana that helped a lot because she was a tiny old lady and it sat right against her chest.
When I lived in ‘the valley’ in LA with no AC in the bedroom, I was fortunate enough to be able to shift my schedule I slept until it was too hot to sleep and then went to work only returning home well after dark.
Rarely cooked in the summer mostly salads of some sort.
I haven't seen solar cooking mentioned yet. I have used a box cooker successfully for bread, cookies, biscuits, and of course quesadillas. Where I live is dry heat, so I don't know how humidity would change things.
I'll rarely use my oven from June-September due to the heat- but I do love baking cookies.
(I also have small batch recipes that yield only 4-6 cookies at a time. Some other people I know make up their regular batch, divide it up, and freeze for later.)
also, especially for the "first heatwave because of climate catastrophe now reaching them" crowd: Figure out wether where you live (and I don't mean country. I mean city, street, specific flat sometimes) your summer heat will be wet or dry heat. Because you have to deal with wet (swamp) heat very different than with dry (desert) heat, and it will kill you in different ways. Like, if it's hot and wet enough stuff like an *open fireplace* can help cool you down.
My takeaway from my years in Greece: - siesta is a must. You will catch up, waking early morning, when it is (relatively) cool. - "space" aka SOS blanket, glued (even with tap water) on the outside surface of the glass, silver side to the sun, will protect interior from heating up. - use shades and ventillation in a smart way.

Handling compliance yourself may save money initially, but mistakes like wrong filings or missed deadlines are common without expertise. Correcting errors can be costly.
Singapore's business environment is structured, but compliance mistakes can lead to costly fines, especially for small companies. Many errors are avoidable with awareness and organization. Below are the top compliance pitfalls and how to sidestep them.
Meet Filing Deadlines
One of the most frequent mistakes is missing ACRA annual returns or IRAS tax filing deadlines. These are non-negotiable, and delays trigger penalties.
Annual returns are due within seven months of the financial year-end. Tax returns must be filed by November. Repeated misses can escalate to legal action. Track deadlines with reminders or use corporate secretarial services to stay compliant.
Appoint a Company Secretary
Every Singapore company must have a qualified company secretary within six months of incorporation. This role manages compliance tasks like filings, resolutions, and record updates.
Not appointing a secretary or using someone unqualified can lead to fines. Secretarial services can take on this role if your team is short on time or expertise.
Inform ACRA of Changes
Changes like new directors, address updates, or share issuances must be reported to ACRA, usually within 14 days. Failing to notify risks fines or director liability if records don't align with reality.
Report changes to your secretary or service provider promptly to maintain compliance.
Prioritize Record-Keeping
Singapore law requires companies to keep records, including shareholder and director registers, meeting minutes, and resolutions. Startups often neglect this, thinking it's low priority. Missing records can complicate audits or funding rounds, and ACRA can issue penalties.
Designate someone to manage records or rely on secretarial services to keep them organized.
Clarify AGM Requirements
Private companies can avoid Annual General Meetings if they send financial statements to shareholders within five months of the financial year-end. If this doesn't happen, an AGM is mandatory. Misunderstanding this can lead to compliance issues.
Check your AGM obligations with your secretary annually to avoid errors.
File Taxes, Even With No Income
A common myth is that companies without profit don't need to file tax returns. All companies, even dormant ones, must submit annual returns to IRAS. Skipping this can lead to fines or deregistration.
Consult an accountant or corporate secretarial services to ensure timely filings, including for zero-income returns.
Use a Compliant Address
Your company needs a Singapore address, accessible three hours daily on business days. An unsuitable address or failing to update it can result in missed notices and fines.
Corporate secretarial services often provide compliant registered address options for businesses without a physical office.
Avoid DIY Compliance Pitfalls
Handling compliance yourself may save money initially, but mistakes like wrong filings or missed deadlines are common without expertise. Correcting errors can be costly.
Secretarial services ensure compliance is done right, saving time and reducing risks.
Stay Compliant, Stay Fine-Free
Singapore's rules are straightforward but require diligence. Fines often come from minor oversights. Regularly check your filings and records, and consider corporate secretarial services for support.
Proactive compliance keeps your business safe from penalties.
Being in business in Singapore is associated with numerous roles, including legal and regulatory requirements of which companies must comply to remain legal.

Wir sind Wächter: Regie: Chelsea Greene, Rob Grobman, Edivan Guajajara
Ein ergreifendes Porträt der verschiedenen Gruppen von Ureinwohnern, die sich bemühen, das zu retten, was vom brasilianischen Amazonas übrig ist. Er seziert die wirtschaftlichen Triebkräfte, die die Umweltzerstörung im großen Stil vorantreiben, und deckt gleichzeitig die Korruption auf.
Here's a big #BDS win from the #UK: "One of the UK’s biggest supermarket chains confirms it will stop sourcing products and services from Israel because of its human rights abuses and violations of international law." Via Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden eigens Kolonial-Schulwandbilder produziert und flächendeckend in Schulen eingesetzt
Viele zeigen Natur- und Landschaftsdarstellungen. Oft werden aber auch hierarchische Machtstrukturen sichtbar und die koloniale Ausbeutung legitimiert. Schulwandbilder haben auf das Bild der Kolonialzeit maßgeblich eingewirkt.

Pero no todo está perdido. ¡Hay una solución y se llama Signal! ✨
✅ Es gratis y de código abierto. ✅ Gestionada por una organización sin ánimo de lucro. ✅ Su único objetivo es proteger tu privacidad. ✅ Utiliza un cifrado de extremo a extremo que SÍ ha sido verificado.

"Es ist #Propaganda. Wir lachen bei #Ukraine. Ich weiß noch, da haben wir über Putins 'Spezialoperation' gelacht, obwohl das ein Angriffskrieg ist par excellence. In der #Tagesschau sehe ich jeden Tag, wie von der 'Militäroperation' der Israelis in #Gaza gesprocen wird. Nicht von einer Invasion und so weiter und sofort."
Die Berichterstattung über den Gaza-Krieg hat die Debatte über Journalismus in Deutschland neu entfacht: Berichten Leitmedien zu zurückhaltend über die Krieg...
Hingegen haben Spiegel, die Zeit, die taz, Süddeutsche, Tagesspiegel, ntv, Focus, #ARD und #ZDF #Propaganda gemacht für westlichen #Imperialismus = die Politik von #CDU / #CSU, #SPD, #Grüne & #FDP.

Police live in the communities they police. ICE personnel don't. ICE personnel are not accountable to the city government. LAPD is part of the city government and is not only accountable to it, they depend on it for their wages.
ICE is the enemy of LA, including its police. They're an invading army. If I were Jim McDonnell (chief of LAPD), I would tell my officers to demand that ICE officers pull off their masks and reveal themselves to my officers so my officers can photograph them. They should even be forced to do this while detaining people. If they fail to comply, they should be arrested for kidnapping.
Ordinary police detain suspects every day, but they aren't allowed to do so without identifying themselves with police badges that bear their names.
Trump is at war with LA and the whole state of California.

The advisor to the commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Vahidi, confirmed that Iranian forces attacked the most important American base in the region on Monday.
Bon, il faut dire que je l’ai cherché, à force de dire que la France faisait fausse route en Ukraine, de m’élever depuis le premier jour contre le carnage de Gaza devenu génocide, de taper quotidiennement sur Macron, ça allait finir par énerver les belles âmes.
Chez moi, il arrive qu’on finisse par s’agacer et qu’on me demande jusqu’à quand je vais continuer à brailler. Pour les gilets jaunes, contre Macron et son illibéralisme liberticide, contre la propagande russophobe délirante du système médiatique, en soutien au peuple palestinien confronté à l’horreur.
Je m’en tire par cette pirouette : « j’arrêterai quand je serai mort. Et encore c’est pas sûr ! »
Je viens tout juste de recevoir l’avis de mise en examen. Je vais étudier le fond de cette affaire et bien évidemment je vous informerai des détails et des enjeux.
@Emmanuel Florac Indeed, they're both terrorist states. I notice that both the left and right in the US, both love projecting their attitudes on others. The leftist in the west love to project their authoritarianism tendencies on their counterparts on the right.
However, it is noticable that the establishment right in the US, who are primarily Zionists, protect terrorists who serve their purposes and condemn everyone else that oppose them, as being terrorists. It's very revealing.
A Map of the Northern Magnetic Pole's Shift Over 400 Years:
Earth's magnetic poles are undergoing dramatic change — and the pace of change is accelerating.
The North Magnetic Pole, the point where Earth's geomagnetic field is vertical, has been steadily shifting for centuries. A historical mapping of its movement from 1640 to 2020 reveals a gradual northwest trajectory in more recent centuries, primarily toward Siberia.
This shift has significantly accelerated in the past century, with the pole rapidly approaching Russia.
The movement is influenced by changes in the dynamics of Earth's molten iron core, which generates the planet's magnetic field. Unlike fixed geographical poles, the North Magnetic Pole's position fluctuates daily within an oval-shaped locus due to geomagnetic variations.
To create maps like these, scientists use historical data from magnetic measurements taken at various locations over centuries, including records from old compass readings, volcanic rock samples, and recent satellite observations.

According to Chuck Jones this is actually true. Bugs is trans and beyond the binary system. Chuck said Bugs is sometimes more male and sometimes more female, just as he feels like it.

Vermögenssteuern gibt es dagegen in deutlich weniger Ländern, u.a. Frankreich, Spanien, Schweiz.
