Ole a TV3, assenyalant que el problema és la "tinença d'armes en la via pública" (com si la gent sortís a córrer amb una 9mm xd) i no que tinguem bandes sud-americanes pelant-se gent al mig del carrer.

[Jaume Clotet @jaumeclotet]

Ell no ha de demanar res. El seu partit governa a Catalunya i a l’Estat. El seu partit té la potestat i la capacitat de canviar les lleis per endurir-les i de posar més policies als carrers. Si no passa és perquè el seu partit no vol.

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

So Putin responds to Ukraine’s successful attacks on Russian oil depots - by targeting innocent civilians in Kyiv and murdering women and children. The Russian President is going to lose his revolting war, which he never should have started. But the truth is that Western governments are doing nothing like enough to bring him to the negotiating table. Why won’t we systematically take out the shadow fleet? Why won’t we give the Ukrainians the hundreds of billions of frozen assets? And why the hell is the UK - of all countries - now buying Russian aviation fuel, even if it has been refined in third countries, under a loophole recently opened by Keir Starmer? This means British cash is helping to fund Putin’s war machine. It’s a total disgrace and if Starmer wants a legacy he should end the practice now.

This is because the anti-capitalist left is not actually against people being crazy rich. They're against certain types of people being crazy rich.

Artists and athletes make sense to them because they've played music and sports and because their success can be explained by "luck" and "talent". Messi's wealth is not offensive to them because they understand Messi is much better at football than they are.

But when it comes to business, the anti-capitalist leftist has no framework for understanding why Jeff Bezos might be super rich since 99% of them have never ever created a product, business or service that was of value to other people. They've never taken entrepreneurial risk. They've never employed people and felt the burden of responsibility that comes with that. They've never pick up a business and given it a play in the way they've picked up a ball or a guitar.

They *literally* don't understand wealth creation. They think there is a fixed amount of money and the only thing a business does is split it unfairly.

It's why they rage at Elon and other successful business leaders. Because they genuinely don't understand why they're wealthy.

Also, and this is just as important, athletes and artists are disproportionately young, attractive, "diverse", left wing etc. Business leaders are "evil" middle aged white men whose success offends the average anti-capitalist leftist because they don't understand a) what it is they do and b) that Elon Musk has the same talent advantage on them as Messi does, it's just harder to measure.

2 anys d'espera perquè et donin cita per tramitar el grau de discapacitat.
2 ANYS!!!

I, mentrestant, el Govern fa una crida a voluntaris per tramitar regularitzacions exprés a 10€ per expedient. Si parlem d'1,3 milions de sol·licituds i suposem que la meitat es tramitaran fora de l'horari laboral, només la tramitació tindrà un cost d'uns 6,5 milions d'euros.

Prioritats ben clares: vots abans que les persones que de debò ho necessiten. Una vergonya.

You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Russians that were given a sense of superiority, security and significance these past 4 years while they cheered on the attempted genocide of a peaceful neighboring nation are now apparently not happy with their skies black with Ukrainian drones.

[J Baeza @JorBaeBel]

Les esquerres fa tant de temps que tenen l'hegemonia cultural i moral a Catalunya, tantes generacions, quatre concretament, que han d'entrenar rovellats com es juga al joc del pluralisme competitiu, perquè amb la dreta alliberada, el còmode domini aplastant ja s'ha acabat.

No deixar que els catalans tinguin més propietats que els castellans m'ha recordat quan Felip V va prohibir que els catalans tinguessin més que un ganivet lligat a la taula.

El interés "general" de las empresas públicas 👇

[J Baeza @JorBaeBel]

Un impost estrany i a més de récord mundial. Regressiu i que ataca l'ascens social. Inequitatiu horitzontalment. Que descapitalitza el país per fer despesa corrent.

Una joia fiscal, en definitiva, que només tenim aquí perquè som els més llestos de la UE, no pas els més rucs. Els més llestos som.

Que com a societat haguem arribat al punt d’assumir amb normalitat que un migrant vingui ens cali foc als nostres boscos i l’haguem de cuidar a un hospital pagat per tots i després ja veurem quina condemna li cau em sembla fascinant… https://t.co/00nBjNmxAr

[joan tubau @joantubau]

IBI, Patrimoni i Successions i IRPF del 40% pel que treballa per pagar tot això i després us escandalitzeu perquè els catalans es veuen obligats a vendre's el patrimoni a un americà que no competeix amb aquesta llosa. L'enveja i la ignorància econòmica han matat aquest país

[Gargotaire @Gargotejant]

No en tenen idea de quants s'han colat

Però em sembla clar q això ha estat una crida pq els futurs immigrants no perdin temps per Europa i vagin al país on es regularitza amb facilitat.

Els q diuen q l'efecte crida no existeix són racistes q creuen q els immigrants són estúpids

[Philmore A. Mellows @PhilAMellows]

No para agilizar gestiones de la SS, reducir los trámites frente a la Administración, reducir las listas de espera o limpiar las calles.
Para acelerar las regularizaciones.
A cualquier precio y de cualquier manera.

[Handre @Handre]

For fifty years the economic establishment has told you that deflation is a disease. Falling prices, they warn, freeze spending, crush wages, spiral the economy into a tomb. Then there's Switzerland, which has spent decades doing the forbidden thing and somehow refuses to die.

The Swiss franc bought you roughly 0.23 dollars in 1970. Today it buys you about 1.20. The currency appreciated against the dollar by a factor of five while Swiss living standards rose to among the highest on earth. Consumer prices in Switzerland have repeatedly turned negative: 2015, 2016, 2020. Each time the Keynesian commentariat predicted catastrophe. Each time the Swiss kept buying watches, building tunnels through the Alps, and running a current account surplus that would envy any German.

Here's what a strong currency actually does to you. Your savings grow without you lifting a finger. The chocolate bar that cost five francs holds its value or gets cheaper as Lindt's productivity improves. You are not robbed in your sleep by a central bank printing your purchasing power into the pockets of the politically connected. A Swiss worker who stuffs francs under the mattress is rewarded for thrift, the oldest bourgeois virtue, the one Washington and Frankfurt have spent a century punishing.

Free market thinkers explained this generations ago. Prices fall because production rises. When a factory makes more shoes per hour, shoes get cheaper. This is not a malfunction. This is the entire point of an economy. The "deflationary spiral" the IMF dreads requires people to indefinitely postpone eating, heating, and clothing themselves in anticipation of a 0.8 percent price drop. Humans don't do this. The Swiss certainly don't.

So when the European Central Bank tells you it must hit two percent inflation forever to keep you employed, understand what it is confessing. It needs your money to lose value because its entire model depends on debtors outrunning savers, on stimulus over thrift, on the quiet transfer running underneath the floorboards. The Swiss declined the offer. Their reward sits in every vault in Zurich, getting heavier while everyone else's gets lighter.

[Queen Natalie 👑 @TheNorfolkLion]

This really upset me. What if this was your nan or relative?!

An elderly woman was trying to get up the stairs and this arrogant POS stood in her way and wouldn’t move!

How hard would it have been for him to move? 😡 Nasty little prick.
