Renten und Löhne finanzieren sich aus dem, was erwirtschaftet wird. Wenn in einer alternden Gesellschaft mehr des Erwirtschafteten an die Lohnempfänger ausgezahlt wird, bleibt, ceteris paribus, weniger für die Rentner. Aktienkäufe erhöhen den Rentenanteil indirekt. Dividenden sind auch Auszahlungen.

5. Trump withdraws claiming victory and then creates a new scandal to divert attention from the lie.

When consuming less than one produces goes towards producing more in future, that is generally considered a good thing (channel degrowthers), while if it doesn't, this is considered bad. 2/2

Saves me writing the same thing. OTOH, saving = investment is also an accounting identity. So saving always 'funds' investment. Saving = credits, investment = debits. Central tenet of accounting is credits = debits. 1/

Clear signs of mass migration. It has to stop! Whatever happened to real British birds?

Work with different colours for different elements. More saturated colours for elements with low surface area, less sarurated & brighter for larger surfaces. In small, low rooms, keep walls & ceilings light to enlarge. Play with contrasts for more dramatic effect.

Yup, which is why one should be wary of 'labour vs. capital' reasoning. Much of 'capital' is just pensioners squeezing that lemon of labour for its juice.

This is quite literally how China handled FDI from Deng Xiaoping onwards. Fordism meet Dengism.

Are local dialects considered working class in Italy?

I think he's saying that, because the upper class is still defined by lineage, not money or power, there's no way for outsiders to join it (other than through marriage or being knighted perhaps). So there's no point in trying.

Then again, he isn't claiming it's not happening elsewhere. Just that it (no dissolution of class through migration) is in Britain. Seems plausible. But I ain't no sociologist.

Great @gilesyb.bsky.social ! Now I have something new to get worked up about :). As an anti-metaphorist myself, I can only offer a feeble attempt at purging the concept of money of its many metaphorical crutches. Starting here, for example: theaccountingview.blogspot.com/2020/10/a-ti...

Well, some progress will not show up on a mortality graph. Doesn't mean it's not progress. Keyhole surgery technique e.g. is a gift from heaven. Not sure it saves lives.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the 2nd sentence.

Nearest English book:

To overcome these physical constraints, the buildings are erected on a podium deck supported by stilts which are then screened by concrete grills.
