"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

Unexploded Ordinance Accident Kills 14 IRGC Members: State Media
Trump's operation Epic Fury saw a combined number of US-Israeli strikes in the many thousands unleashed on Iran. The common high estimates suggest over 13,000 strikes by the American side, and possibly 10,000 by the Israelis - which are staggering figures.
While the severe damage to Iranian cities, bases, missile sites, and infrastructure has been abundantly clear - the hidden reality is the apparently persistent danger of unexploded ordinance still littering the country. On Friday state media reported a mass casualty event involving Iranian military members due to unexploded bombs.
"An explosion of leftover bombs from strikes during the war against Iran killed 14 members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iranian media reports," AFP reports based on state media.
