Taxe Zucman : il serait prudent de retenir, dans un premier temps, un taux de 1 %, par Jean Pisani-Ferry Gage d’une meilleure répartition, elle permettrait d’atténuer la sous-taxation des ultrariches et de moderniser le système fiscal, plaide l’économiste Jean Pisani-Ferry.

La taxe Zucman mérite mieux que des invectives. Pour des raisons d’économie politique, alors que la France fait face à un ajustement budgétaire de très grande ampleur. Et parce qu’elle permet d’adapter le système fiscal aux transformations de l’économie. www.liberation.fr/idees-et-deb...

The paradoxes of the protein transition maintain existing animal production and consumption systems - Nature Food Moving away from animal-based protein consumption requires major changes in how food systems operate. This Perspective explores three paradoxes driving the transition and alternative, interconnected approaches to support protein system sustainability.

I agree on the impact of livestock, not only beef, but we don’t have to substitute animal proteins by plant-based proteins. We just have to decrease animal proteins consumption and production as we are globally eating too much proteins as explained in this paper. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Tracing sources of funds used to lobby the US government about carbon capture, use, and storage Analysis of U.S. federal lobbying disclosures from 2005 through 2024 identifies the fossil fuel sector as the primary force behind a multipronged $954…

Yep.

"…clear that fossil-fuel companies, and their adjacent organizations, are the primary lobbyists for CCUS subsidies and that these subsidies benefit fossil-fuel companies at the expense of both taxpayers and the future health of our planet"

Dans l'histoire de la Ve République, aucun ministre de la Culture n'avait à ce point attaqué la presse, menacé les journalistes, intimidé des rédactions, tenté de faire taire des révélations. La combattre c'est combattre pour la survie même de la presse. Soutien à @thomas-legrand.bsky.social.

Merci à TV5MONDE de m’avoir invité à donner mon avis sur la loi Duplomb.

Ce que demandent les pétitionnaires, en France, comme en Belgique, c’est un nouveau contrat entre le monde agricole et la société basé sur le dialogue et le respect.

Loi Duplomb: le débat français sur l'acétamipride rejoint l'inquiétude des Belges autour des PFAS La loi Duplomb fait des remous en dehors de France. Le Conseil constitutionnel a censuré, jeudi 7 août, la disposition la plus controversée de cette loi agricole, qui prévoyait de réautoriser des pesticides néonicotinoïdes toxiques pour l'environnement et la santé, comme l'acétamipride. Un débat qui a eu des échos en Belgique, où l'acétamipride est utilisée par des producteurs de betteraves à sucre. Interview avec Philippe Baret, agronome et professeur à l'université de Louvain.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Parodie de Dora l’exploratrice : Dora-Macron et Babouche-Bayrou sont perplexes et semblent chercher quelque chose. Derrière eux, Chipeur , un cigare à la bouche, transporte un énorme sac qui prend la moitié de l'image marqué “211 milliards/an d’aides publiques aux entreprises sans contrepartie”. Dora-Macron: “Oh là là ! Mais où donc trouver de l’argent ?”, “Hum… je ne sais vraiment pas”, “Et vous, les amis, vous voyez ce qu’on pourrait faire à part précariser les plus pauvres ?”, “Non ? Vous non plus vous ne voyez pas ?” “Oh, Quel mystère !” »

Mais où donc trouver de l'argent ? Quel mystère !

Brussels scrambles to defend US trade deal with details up in the air Washington and Brussels can’t seem to agree on what they have actually agreed on.

The EU is struggling to sell its trade deal with the US as it becomes clear that many unresolved issues have been kicked down the road.

On the plight of the unbombed farmers of Eastern Europe Farmers are, understandably, demanding safeguards and compensation. The efficient and fair way to achieve that is by accepting Ukraine as a full EU member.

OPINION: Bringing Ukraine into the fold of the EU doesn’t mean bringing the war closer, it means pushing the bloc’s weight and financial power eastward to the actual front line.

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

The Roman fort of Trimontium lies in the central Scottish Borders. Agricola placed a lowland fort by the Eildon Hills. The fort was built for 1,000 men. It had two main periods of activity: first after Agricola’s invasion and second from AD 140 to c. AD 184. #RomanFortThursday

1/ The EU Commission proposes a budget 2028-2034 that is around €580bn higher than its precursor. The increase is a bit less enormous considering that NGEU repayments will already consume €168bn. However, there is still quite some additional spending in there, mainly going to the new Pillar II:

Huge congratulations, Saloni!

When we think about money flowing from richer to poorer countries, foreign aid is one of the first things that comes to mind.

But another major channel receives far less attention in mainstream conversations: the money that migrants send back to their families or bring home after working abroad.

Use illegitimate power to provoke violence

Use the violence as an excuse for greater state violence

Provoke a more violent response

And the cycle continues

A pretty standard tactic for fascists

Toute cela en totale contradiction avec le droit et la justice internationale.
