Mi sono imbattuto in questo tw, l'ennesimo tentativo di prendere un tema serio e buttarla in caciara, dandone una lettura distorta.

Prendo spunto per (spero) chiarire alcuni aspetti su #salariominimo.

Buona domenica e buona lettura. 🧵

Australia is replacing coal and gas power with solar and wind—

At the turn of the millennium, Australia got more than 80% of its electricity from coal. This has dropped to less than 45%.

The chart shows how the country’s electricity mix has changed in recent decades.

In the 2000s and early 2010s, coal was initially replaced by gas, with only moderate growth in solar and wind. But in the last five years, solar and wind have been deployed much more quickly.

Gas is now on the decline, too. In 2023, solar overtook gas to become Australia’s second-largest electricity source.

While coal is declining, it still supplies much more of Australia’s power than most high-income countries.

As China continues to innovate, develop its economy, and improve the lives of millions of people, expect to see more absurd headlines like this one, reflecting Western hegemonic anxiety.

TRUMP just admitted it on camera:

“Israel needed us. They couldn’t have done it without us. They couldn’t have even come close.
They needed us, and they got us to help them.”

America got pulled into this war because Israel couldn’t handle it alone.

Da Bruxelles è giunta una lieta novella, da tanto tempo attesa e sperata
Picierno lascia il Pd, dove rivestiva il ruolo di Quinta colonna sionista e guerrafondaia nel Parlamento europeo
Tuttavia non vuole rinunciare al posto di vicepresidente dell’Europarlamento in quota PPE e pensa di ricandidarsi con Renew, forte dell’appoggio di Calenda

BREAKING: "House votes to halt Iran war," per POLITICO

[Ryan Rozbiani @RyanRozbiani]

THIS IS HUGE - END THE WAR ON IRAN

🇺🇸🇮🇷 House Passes War Powers Resolution to Strip Trump of Authority to Keep Striking Iran

The vote was 215 to 208. The Senate already broke through weeks ago, advancing its own version 50 to 47.

Trump has signaled a veto the moment it lands on his desk. A flaw of the system if you ask me.

The House and Senate FINALLY speak for the American people.

Germany's bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council ends in crushing failure

After Germany's reactions to events in Gaza, Venezuela, Lebanon and Iran, no one could believe that "its utmost priority will be respect for the rules of international law", if elected

Germany has failed to win a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul (CDU) secured 104 votes in the General Assembly, falling 23 short of the required two-thirds majority. It is the first time Germany has missed out on a rotating seat.

Le imprese italiane sopra i 15 dipendenti hanno una produttività simile se non più alta di quelle tedesche. Eppure anche in queste aziende i lavoratori italiani prendono uno stipendio da fame in confronto ai colleghi tedeschi. Non è che sta storia della produttività è una truffa?

Jared Kushner admits his friend Nat Rothschild was the one who helped him find his new off-the-grid private island in the middle of the Mediterranean while he was on his boat on vacation.

Kushner says he had a private meeting with Albania’s Prime Minister on Rothschild’s boat.

The private island will be exclusively for the rich, the powerful, and the elites.

“We were on a friend’s boat, Nat Rothschild’s, on vacation.”
