Chapeau, @carmenwegge.bsky.social. Bei solchen absurden, platten, faktenverdrehenden Fragen zu #Aschaffenburg im #DLF trotzdem sinnvolle und durchdachte Antworten zu geben, ist eine große Leistung.

DLF das war keine Zuspitzung von Christoph Heinemann. Das war nah an Hetze.

Billionaire wealth surged by $2T in 2024, says Oxfam. But let’s be real: secrecy jurisdictions and non-public UBO registers mean this is likely an underestimate. The true figure could be even higher. Transparency matters. #WealthInequality #TaxJustice
‼️NEW: Billionaire wealth in the EU surges by nearly €400 million per day in 2024, with a new billionaire nearly every week.

This is according to Oxfam EU's new research out ahead of #WEF.

PRESS RELEASE: Billionaire wealth surges by $2 trillion in 2024, 3 times faster than the year before, while the number of people living in poverty has barely changed since 1990.

At this pace, we won’t see 1 trillionaire in a decade, but 5.

The first time we got an Interrail pass (free for kids). We did Brussels-Paris by Thalys, then Paris-Latour de Carol by night train, and from there we took a commuter train to Barcelona. The year after we booked our tickets very early on and went by Thalys and TGV.
Sorry, this is an old tweet I imported here from Twitter. And the import didn't work that well, I realised. The question is more than a year old and solved... Thanks anyway!
Sorry, das war der nicht ganz erfolgreiche Versuch, meine alten Tweets zu importieren, um vollständig umzusteigen...

Really important (and scaring) read on @POLITICOEurope today: 238,000 premature deaths *every year* in the EU are attributable to air pollution.

And still, MEPs + several EU countries (looking at you, 🇩🇪) are lobbying hard to delay stricter rules.

"Today 80 percent of urban mobility is forced, because people have to get up early and commute... In a city of proximity in which services are always close by, mobility is a choice: ... you go where you want because you want to, not because you have to.

Good + useful read by @MattTempest on writing and placing op-ed. I am proud to say I managed to place more than one op-ed with him. Just wondering why he didn't take all the others I offered that were sooooooooooooooooooo important. 🙃

EUobserver receives tens of thousands of words of unsolicited opinion pieces every day — for one daily slot. So, how do you differentiate your piece from the crowd of others, and actually get published?
