How German Media Became The PR Arm Of The Expanding State
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
How does economic growth emerge? Let us turn to Ludwig von Mises, one of the defining economists of the 20th century – and paraphrase his idea: growth arises where private capital is guided in a free market by an undistorted price system. Prices signal scarcity and direct scarce resources to where they generate real value. When this system is distorted by ideological intervention, capital is misallocated – potential growth simply evaporates.
That is the theory. And there is no doubt that the reality of emerging economies has repeatedly confirmed the teachings of the Austrian School. Take Argentina, for example: the economic policy shift under President Javier Milei is leading to a rollback of the state and new private investment impulses. That is how it should be: the state as a rule-setting referee, not a player in the economy.
This thesis meets maximum resistance in German editorial offices. There prevail...

"Moderate" Democrat Abigail Spanberger Considers Tax On Gym Memberships And Streaming Services, Among Other Ideas
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger is facing backlash after refusing to rule out new taxes on everyday services like gym memberships and streaming subscriptions, according to the Daily Mail.
During an interview with 8News, the Virginia governor was asked whether she would sign legislation expanding the state's sales tax to cover a long list of services. Rather than rejecting the idea outright, Spanberger said any proposal that seems “reasonable” should at least be part of the conversation as lawmakers search for new sources of revenue.
"I think every idea, as long as it's reasonable and makes some amount of sense, should be entertained should be discussed," she said.
"You mentioned the one on streaming services, you used to buy a DVD, there was a sales tax. Streaming is different," she added. "I recognize there is value in having these co...

Kerosin wird zum Stresstest für den Luftverkehr (DZ Bank)
|
|

Die IEA-Szenarien zeigen, wie schnell Lagerpuffer in Europa bei nicht ersetzten Nahost-Importen abschmelzen können. Kann Europa 90% der üblichen Nahost-Mengen ersetzen, bleibt die Versorgung im Sommer beherrschbar. Bei nur 75% Ersatz würde die Lagerdeckung bis August unter 23 Tage fallen; bei nur 50% Ersatz bereits im Juni. Dann steigt das Risiko physischer Engpässe an Flughäfen und von Flugausfällen deutlich. --- Für den Luftverkehr ist dieses Risiko besonders relevant. Preisrisiken lassen sich absichern; physische Verfügbarkeit nicht. --- Der Blick auf Brent reicht nicht mehr aus. Entscheidend sind Jet-Fuel-Preise, Jet-Crack, Lagerbestände, Raffinerieläufe und alternative Importströme. Unser Basisszenario bleibt ein Umfeld aus hohen Kerosinpreisen, knappen Puffern und selektiven Anpassungen - kein flächendeckender Versorgungsausfall. Der zentrale Trigger bleibt die Straße von Hormus. --- So wird es wohl sein und wer die richtige Aktie im Depot hat, profitiert! https://www.boersentreff.de/neste-aktie.htm
