Am I a chicken-shop lefty? Here′s what a French fast food row taught me about politics | Coco Khan (The Guardian)

Feathers are flying over the halal chicken chain Master Poulet opening a branch in gentrified Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine – it's an issue of wealth and class we know only too wellHow do you like your progressive politics? Are you net-zero left or anti-identity politics left? A “legalising drugs” kind of radical or someone whose public sector solidarity includes police? Nato or Nat-no? The reputation for infighting in lefty spaces – where policy disagreements harden into personal tests of morality – needs neither introduction nor encouragement.But reading about the left-on-left battle at Master Poulet, a French chicken chain that just opened its first UK branch, I found myself mulling a question that felt more than a little personal: am I chicken shop left?

′It′s become a nepo baby sport′: how secondhand fashion got so expensive (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Thanks to gen Z resellers and platforms like Depop, thrifting has lost its subcultural roots - and ballooned into a $350bn businessVintage boutique owner Janelle Best has been rummaging in thrift shop bins since the 90s. When she started, she says, there was a stigma about it. “It was either you were a freak, or you were poor – and I was a freak.”At first, she did it to source stage outfits while playing in psych-rock bands. Then, in 2005, she started “casually reselling” on eBay. Ten years later she was trading as Desert Stars Vintage at street markets, and by 2023 she had opened a showroom specializing in upmarket silk dresses in her Williamsburg apartment. Even just a few years ago, she says, she still put in the hours at places like Goodwill. The bins, she says, “were a field day. There were so many fucking bangers.” And then, thrifting became a social media craze, she says, “and the hell gates of high school students flooded in. Twelve people to each bin. Everyone fighting.

Die Zahlen stammen vom Statistischen Bundesamt und beziehen sich auf die aktuellste Erhebung, die derzeit vorliegt. Im gleichen Zeitraum

NIM: Konsumklima verharrt auf niedrigem Niveau (Dow Jones)
|
|
|
Die Erholung der Kauflaune in Deutschland hat einen leichten Dämpfer erlitten. Der vom Nürnberg Institut für Marktentscheidungen (NIM) ermittelte Indikator zum Konsumklima prognostiziert für August einen Rückgang im Vergleich zum Vormonat um 0,3 Zähler auf minus 29,6 Punkte (Vormonat revidiert: minus 29,3 Punkte). Von Dow Jones Newswires befragte Ökonomen hatten einen Anstieg auf minus 28,1 Punkte erwartet.. --- Die Sparneigung zieht unterdessen wieder an: Der Indikator steigt um 3,1 Zähler und liegt nun bei 17,0 Punkten. Im langfristigen Vergleich ist dieser Wert sehr hoch, was unterstreicht, dass die Menschen es angesichts der allgemeinen Wirtschaftslage weiterhin für ratsam halten, ihr Geld zusammenzuhalten..

Behind America's Growing 'Food Freedom' Movement
Authored by Jeff Louderback via The Epoch Times,
Joel Salatin wants to liberate Americans from over-regulation with neighbor-to-neighbor food commerce.
Salatin, who runs Polyface Farm in the hills of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, is pitching the concept of a "Food Emancipation Proclamation."

Through what he envisions as a federal declaration, consenting adults would be allowed to buy and sell homemade and farmstead food directly, without the costly commercial infrastructure and cumbersome government regulation currently in place.
Salatin's mission reflects a push among homesteaders and independent farmers to cultivate local food networks, where...

ROUNDUP: Nestle wächst aus eigener Kraft - Profitabilität unter Druck (DPA-AFX)
|
|
|
Der weltgrößte Lebensmittelkonzern Nestle hat sein Wachstumstempo aus eigener Kraft im ersten Halbjahr 2026 wegen Preissteigerungen und höherer Absatzmengen gesteigert. Dem standen allerdings negative Wechselkurseffekte gegenüber. Hingegen sank die Profitabilität. Zudem präsentierte Nestle hat eine Lösung für sein Wassergeschäft: Der Nahrungsmittelriese bildet dafür ein Gemeinschaftsunternehmen namens Peranel mit der US-Beteiligungsgesellschaft Platinum Equity. Der Deal bewertet das Geschäft mit Marken wie Perrier und San Pellegrino mit 4,9 Milliarden Euro. An der Börse geriet der Aktienkurs unter Druck..
