- AndrewCoja: 1 of everything, thanks.
Hungary to impose wealth tax on the richest people starting next year (r/worldnews)
- John__Jacobs: The article says starting at 67M forints which is $210K USD.
Later in the article it talks about ‘crowns’??
Something doesn’t sound right… - I__Know__Stuff: > this tax is targeting the ultra wealthy oligarchs.
A threshold of $3M targets a lot more than “ultra wealthy”, even in Hungary. - oldsecondhand: 67M HUF is just the price of a panel flat (commie block) in Budapest. Obviosly the tax threshold couldn’t be that low.
Ukraine Flies 4 Tons of Food by Drone Into Occupied Oleshky, Reaching 100 Locations (r/worldnews)
- TheDucksQuacker: The pure fear of seeing a fleet of drones heading directly at your village, and the subsequent joy of it being a care package is quite something.
- DragoonDM: Makes me think of the Soviet bombing campaign against Finland. A certain Soviet propagandist insisted it was actually “airborne humanitarian food deliveries”. In honor of that propagandist, Vyacheslav Molotov, the Finns invented the Molotov Cocktail, “a drink to go with his food parcels.”
- johnnydanja: I have to imagine they would have been informed ahead of time
Federal intelligence agency contacted amid U.S. interference allegations in Quebec election (r/worldnews)
- Ok-Appearance-674: Yet we air a commercial of a US president during the superbowl and Trump loses his mind
- Weekly-Ad-2509: I’m still 98% certain the election was stolen
- SuddenRadio6221: We didn’t especially want Trump but it’s the total incompetence of the Democrats that brought us here.
1. We could have had a liberal Supreme Court: Marshall quit and was replaced by Thomas but lived to see Clinton inaugurated. O’Connor quit and was replaced by Alito, she deeply regretted her mistake. Ginsburg was diagnosed with cancer while Obama was president and dems ran the senate, but she refused to leave. Now we have Barret.
2. Biden appointed Garland as AG. Despite an airtight case against Trump, he did nothing for two years. By the time he appointed Jack Smith, it was too late. Even as Trump was convicted in NY State, he couldn’t be punished.
3. Unlike Obama, Biden allowed the close to 10 million migrants into the country, which right or wrong, was deeply unpopular. By the time he realized the political cost and tried to stop it, the republicans wouldn’t, knowing that democrats would shoulder the blame.
4. Biden was able to hide his cognitive impairment long enough to get nominated. He thought he could hide though the whole election, but it became immediately obvious that he was unelectable. He immediately endorsed Harris.
5. America has the electoral college instead of a majority vote. As a result, the election is decided by a few swing states, which can best be characterized as conservative but winnable. Racism and sexism are definitely a factor in how they vote. In the end, no blue states or red states were flipped, but she lost EVERY SINGLE swing state. This was completely predictable.
Even now she hasn’t ruled out running in ‘28 and there’s zero reason to think that she’ll go from losing all the swing states to winning a majority of them.
The American people aren’t bad in aggregate, but the sheer corruption of the republicans continues to be matched by the sheer incompetence of the democrats and no one is looking out for the average citizen.
South Korea demands apology from Ukraine over disclosure of North Korean POW transfer (r/worldnews)
- nithrean: Why is the South so sensitive about this? Just trying to understand.
- arg_democrito: Like SK cares about that, NK can decide tomorrow to kill all the left handed people of its population for an insane dictatorial reason and no one in the world would do a thing. NK and SK relationship couldn’t be any worse, except for open war. To me SK is playing some political game to not piss off probably China or Russia too much, and using the prisoners thing as an excuse.
- Aethericseraphim: LJM’s reputation and popularity is in the shitter right now on the home front.
Typical weak ass populist trying to rally the banners at a made up external threat to improve his poll numbers.
