Je ne sais si les gens s'en rendent compte, mais c'est peut-être la première fois qu'une nation entière a non seulement essayé de faire pression pour interdire leur équipe nationale de participer à la World Cup, mais souhaite aussi leur défaite et leur totale humiliation.
@CdricLabrousse Ils s’en sortiront au contraire mieux que nous parce que dans leurs sociétés c’est toujours normal d’avoir 80 ans et de travailler encore pour s’en sortir, et ce le sera toujours dans leur creux démographique. Là où l’on considère ceci comme une atteinte aux droits de l’homme
« Vous n’avez pas le droit de vous promener comme ça dans la société ! »
Il y a quelques jours, un grand journaliste français affirmait que le voile n’était plus obligatoire à Téhéran. Sur ces images, enregistrées hier dans le sud de la capitale iranienne, une jeune femme est harcelée et menacée par des individus pro-régime parce qu’elle refuse de porter un voile.
En ces temps troublés, il est plus que jamais essentiel que journalistes et chercheurs demeurent nuancés et attachés à la vérité. #Iran
The UK graph is one of the most interesting because the historical graph with the correct denominator — % of total wealth rather than % of GDP — from the World Inequality Database, Piketty’s lab, looks so different.
There is a clear upward trend since the 1980s, but:
1⃣ The levels are far less impressive, since the top 0.001% owns roughly 2% of the nation’s wealth.
2⃣ In retrospect, levels remain much lower than the average for the 20th century.
This, of course, does not take into account that the UK has since developed a large welfare state. In particular, these graphs leave out the value of accrued pension claims from the UK state pension, something that most workers in the early 20th century could not count on.
If, instead of looking specifically at the top 0.001%, we look at the top 1%, which is more relevant for 99% of people, there was a huge collapse in wealth inequality in the UK between 1900 and 1980, and basically no change since then. And that is before taking state pensions into account. The same thing is true when you look at the top 10%.
Again, these are not my numbers, but those reported by Piketty and Zucman’s lab. The only difference is that I compute the shares correctly: the wealth of the top 1% as a share of total wealth of the UK rather than its GDP.
Every group’s wealth has increased as a percentage of GDP since 1980 because asset prices have increased: house prices notably. Using GDP as the denominator does all the heavy lifting here and is a fallacy.
@SaladinAlDronni France has a 5.3% deficit with perfect conjoncture conditions, and was not only unable to address it but completely unable to even recognize it as a problem (see Bayrou vote of confidence speech in parliament).
France is absolutely fked regardless of elections unfortunately …

Kaveh Naseri, a Kurdish civilian from Sanandaj (Sine), was killed after Iranian security forces opened fire on his vehicle during a nighttime pursuit in the city amid the war between Iran, Israel and the United States.
Following the shooting, security forces told his family they had mistaken him for an “Israeli” and had therefore targeted his car.

Outsider: I have investigated this academic field and found that it is mostly fake.
Insider: This essay adds nothing to the discourse. All of these so-called "problems" are discussed in Hamilton and Schwartz’s "Our Entire Field Is Mostly Fake" (2009). You absolute buffoon.
Parlons "foutage de gueule", justement : vous mélangez le bénéfice mondial de TotalEnergies avec la marge réalisée sur l’essence vendue en France.
Le fantasme du "Total qui se gave à la pompe" ne résiste pas deux minutes à la lecture des comptes publiés.
En 2024, TotalEnergies France, c’est :
CA total HT : 25,603 Md€
dont ventes France : 24,378 Md€
achats produits / matières / marchandises : 15,058 Md€
autres achats et charges externes : 1,897 Md€
impôts, taxes et versements assimilés : 8,092 Md€
résultat d’exploitation : 263,6 M€
résultat net : 310,5 M€
Donc sur 24,4 Md€ de chiffre d’affaires en France, la filiale française sort 263,6 M€ de résultat d’exploitation. Traduction : environ 1,08 % de marge opérationnelle.
À comparer aux 8,092 Md€ d’impôts et taxes inscrits dans les comptes : l’État prend environ 30 fois plus que le résultat d’exploitation de la filiale française.
Et les "énormes bénéfices de Total" ? Au niveau mondial, TotalEnergies a fait en 2024 15,8 Md$ de résultat net IFRS. Mais ce résultat vient surtout des activités mondiales du groupe, pas de la prétendue “rente” des stations-service françaises.
Le vrai gagnant de chaque litre vendu en France, ce n’est pas Total, c’est l’État. Il prélève des milliards, laisse une marge microscopique au distributeur, puis certains viennent expliquer que si l’essence est chère, c’est à cause des “profits indécents” de Total à la pompe.
Il est là le foutage de gueule.

If the internet in Iran were cut by US or Israeli airstrikes, the media and the left would be talking about it every single day. But because the Islamic Republic is the one cutting it, no one says a word.
On that day in 1974, 163 civilians were killed, including nine students from the University of Sulaymaniyah. Around 300 others were injured in the devastating airstrike ordered by Saddam Hussein’s regime.

You can almost watch the oil market thinking in real time here (this is the Brent futures contract for June):
1609 EST: Indefinite extension of the ceasefire! Great!
1610 EST: Wait, indefinite extension of the ceasefire means indefinite closure of Hormuz
A 14-year-old student disappeared during protests near Tehran on January 8, only for his family to receive his body 60 days later with a gunshot wound to the temple, Iran International has learned.
