Zrybew , in Tax our wealth, super-rich tell politicians at Davos

Meanwhile... Panama papers.

TheBronko , in Tax our wealth, super-rich tell politicians at Davos

What timeline did we entern? Did someone mess with reality itself?

perhaps game theory at play… they may realise that their lives would be better than what they pay in tax if all of them paid more tax, but they aren’t going to be the only ones to do it so they want it to be law

or it could just be PR bullshit and they relentlessly lobby for the reverse and pay more than what they’d pay in tax behind the scenes

Mr_Blott ,

The "billionaire finds way to profit from taxes" one

chanokin ,

I think they forgot the "we dare you" part of the speech

WhatAmLemmy ,

This is just a virtue signal. They know politicians won't do it, because they own the majority of them.

It's like the carbon tax that fossil fuel corps promoted while they knew they owned enough politicians for a carbon tax to never pass.

inclementimmigrant ,

Same timeline we've always been in.

The small handful of rich people who ask for economic justice and mostly live by it, mixed in with those who just want to virtue signal while doing the same shady shit of legal bribery to keep the status quo that make a public statement knowing full well that it will never get done because of the legal bribery from the regular rich people and virtue signalling rich people.

Mr_Blott , in Senate votes against Sanders resolution to force human rights scrutiny over Israel aid

Not really fitting for this community

How isn't this news

Vilian ,

i guess his conplain is that wasn't "global" news

Lmaydev ,

Dunno USA and Israel are pretty far apart

casmael ,

Also both on the globe checkmate

r_13 ,

It absolutely is global news. Does the United States care about the human rights record of supported nation states? And if not, why should the rest of us?

Mr_Blott , in Austrians happiest in EU, while Germans grow glummer

It's because of all the kangaroos innit. They're adorable 🥰

There are no kangaroos in Austria. You probably meant Australia, which is not part of EU.

Mr_Blott ,

Yes, yes I did. Well spotted, you must be very astute

awwwyissss ,

They might be a couple prawns short of a barbie

Mr_Blott ,

A couple prawns? Like husband and wife prawns?

I think you'll find that Austrians speak the king's English, you need an "of" in there

Papercrane ,

Wooosh

countsickness ,

In Austria there are no kangaroos. Only Mozart, Music and Muhlikuhs.

(Shamelessly stolen from some tshirt in Austria…)

Mr_Blott ,

I wondered why someone downvoted you then realised some folk are probably stupid enough to think "muhlikuh" is an Arabic word and you were being offensive 😂

countsickness ,

I guess it works better with a cute comic cow underneath it :)
Well… lesson learned.

Answer from the article : "simple analysis can unmask the fraud. Like the fatty acids composition test, or the sterol composition, as well as the spectrophotometric constants"

Oh. OK. Easy. Next time at the grocery store I will check that.

navigatron , in Millions face below-zero temperatures in US as winter storms bring Arctic air

Is this news? It’s wintertime. It’s cold outside. I don’t get it

It's a month too early.

TonyTonyChopper ,

January is the middle of winter in the Northern hemisphere actually

Compactor9679 , in Six pro-Palestine activists arrested over plot to disrupt London Stock Exchange

About time!!!

@negativenull@lemm.ee avatar

In the US, this is supposed to be legit: https://www.californiaoliveranch.com/products/100-california-everyday/41079566074040

They sell blends as well, but the 100% is well tested and is very good

Diplomjodler , in Why is UK being hit by medicine supply shortages?

Where there are certainly country specific reasons, the overall train is that production had been outsourced to the lowest bidder, which is India in most cases. This means less resilient supply chains and less reliable supply.

420stalin69 , in Albanese says Australia will not participate in ICJ case against Israel and instead focus on ‘political solution’

Surface to surface cruise politics

CluckN , in AI to hit 40% of jobs and worsen inequality, IMF says

I read that as “MF says” and thought the BBC had some major beef.

Undaunted , in Olive oil scams are proliferating: How do you spot a fake extra-virgin?

I know it's not the point of this post but holy cow is that an atrocious AI image.

CubitOom ,

Reminds me of Mafia! (1998) where the guy is squeezing the oil out of olives by hand.

puchaczyk ,

They use a fake image in the article about fake olive oil. Ironic.

Jakdracula , in Olive oil scams are proliferating: How do you spot a fake extra-virgin?
@Jakdracula@lemmy.world avatar

How come there’s no extra slutty olive oil?

Trex202 ,

No shelf life...

Lightly fucked.

ivanafterall ,

I sell it, but it's a custom-order item. Just let me know how much you want me to fuck the bottle and I can give you a quote.
