    From personal experience I can say that the stock market of less financialized economies (like China, and to a lesser extent Germany) aren't that good for investing. As a proof just look at the performance of the US stock market (most financialized economy in the world) against the stock market of virtually any other country, you'll find out that the US stock market very often performs better. At the expense of the real, material, economy.

    (Just to clarify I'm neither a financial expert nor a big investor, just somebody who's saving for retirement since the pension system in my country is a complete joke)

    The liberal veneer of civility goes away in the moment you criticize their idols.they cant fathom somebody that doesn't like mr joe "saviour of the world" biden or mrs kamala "sent here by god himself" harris since they live in political ecochambers, so the only possibile explanation is that Russia pays a bunch of people to post normal people's opinions online (most people are not hardliner diehard democrats)

  • EU limits anonymous cash payments to €3k and all cash payments to €10k. Pirate party reacts.
  • frippa frippa 3mo ago 83%

    How will they enforce it? I'm sure big/medium businesses will comply, but how can you track a cash transaction between private citizens?

    Furthermore in the country where I live (Italy, one of EU founding members) more than 60% of independent professionals (partite iva) evade/elude taxes in some way or another, and it's very common (so common that every Italian experienced it many times in their lives, me included) for small businesses and professionals to offer you a slight discount if you pay cash under the table (no receipt, so no taxes) and, even if we have an entire police force dedicated to financial crimes, the submerged economy is just so big that they can't deal with it now, imagine when they'll have to arrest/fine everybody that accepts more than €3000 in cash.

    What somebody writes on a piece of paper and what happens in the real world are 2 very distinct things, many stores in Italy don't accept credit cards even if it's against them law, and only a minuscule fraction of them gets fined.

    The EU has extremely nazi-esque control on the private financial life of its citizens (the state monitors your bank account, to open a bank account you need to give every info about u in the future they'll ask for your DNA probably, if you withdraw/deposit a "suspect" amount of money our IRS will come after your ass, ane you need to prove your innocence basically guilty untill proven otherwise, ecc, there are a thousand examples, I'm sure EU citizens can relate) but I can't see how they'll be able to track pieces of paper.

    TLDR I can't even see how they will be able to enforce this law, especially when we talk about small businesses/independent contractors, and the situation gets even funnier when its a transaction between 2 private individuals.

    Google translation of an article by Contropiano.org: A team of about ten masked people vandalized the entrance to the Physics department at La Sapienza University of Rome yesterday afternoon. The plaque placed two days earlier on the wall of the department and dedicated to the rector Sufyan Tayeh of the University of Gaza, killed in the Israeli bombings, was covered and the Stars of David were painted on the walls with spray cans. The Zionist commando was most likely seeking provocation and confrontation with the students in solidarity with Palestine, thus purposely creating "public order problems" within the university and perhaps pushing the rector to request police intervention to clear out the tent city set up. on the lawn, about 200 meters from the Physics department where the raid took place. It is the same dynamic that we saw with the Zionist attacks on the University of Los Angeles camp and on the SciencePo faculty in Paris, where the Zionist squad attack was then followed by the intervention of the police to put an end to the occupations and initiatives in favor of Palestine. It is clear that Israeli Minister Ben Gvir's "work instructions" to Zionist groups abroad are starting to become operational. For today at 12.00 the students have called a demonstration in front of the Physics department.

    ::: spoiler obligatory I don't know if this is the right community, if it isn't warn me and I'll move the post! ::: So I saw a meme about piracy on reddit (apparently a tankie HQ) and I wanted to share it on the biggest piracy instance on the fediverse, with good intentions I post, it gets some replies, but the funny thing is I can't reply as the post has been removed by the admins of that instance. I couldn't care less, it's just a low-quality meme, in fact I'm amused more than I'm sad. These libs are doing what the US state dept was doing during the cold war FOR FREE! I hope you all can share my amusement at the fact that apparently all it takes nowadays to be called a tankie is to be against big tech and to post from a mainstream instance. You don't even have to be a communist, it's full paranoia on their part at this point. ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/6f4f714a-ae44-4883-bc17-6287f0e9919f.webp) The meme in question, nothing "tankie" about it as far as I can tell. Edit: btw the community about censorship on lemmy has been.... Eliminated
