I’m really surprised this isn’t bigger news. Just under 10 million people live in Tehran. Where can they go? Where else in Iran will have enough water? This will undoubtedly strain the country’s and the region’s politics, finances and governance capacity.

"Judge McCourt said he was prepared to spend all afternoon watching videos of a cat shittng in Mr Nugent's garden, but he wanted lunch first" is a scene that even Flann O'Brien would have been pushed to invent
Judge James McCourt heard that an aggrieved lawyer and his wife had recorded for 18 months what Coco the cat had got up to night and day in their newly-laid-out front garden at their Mountain View Road home in Ranelagh, Dublin.

Une sanction pénale du « localisme » n'a jamais été aussi imminente.

L'an passé, la Cour de cassation a jugé que le délit de fraude aux examens & concours publics peut être commis par les organisateurs d'un recrutement universitaire.

L'ironie de la DGFIP

Selon la base fiscale actuelle, 7,4 millions de logements ne sont pas équipés en eau courante, électricité, toilette ou lavabo.

C'est une bonne idée de mettre à jour l'assiette au moins une fois tous les 50 ans. Cela donne aussi d'autres idées comme changer d'assiette.

GDP treats cigarette sales & cancer treatments as “good,” but caring for your kids or creating art doesn’t count at all.

@dianecoyle1859.bsky.social joins Nick & Goldy to explain why GDP no longer reflects the real economy—and how we can measure true progress instead.

Comme quoi, la politique de l’offre, ça marche: baissez de 4 points les impôts des plus riches, ils produisent 120% de plus, et vos recettes fiscales augmentent.
Le bilan est sidérant :

- Explosion des revenus des ultra-riches :

En 2003, ils gagnaient en moyenne, 95 fois plus que les ménages les plus modestes. En 2022, c'est 167 fois plus.

- *Mais* réduction de leur taux moyen d'imposition :

De 29,2 % en 2003, il a été ramené à 25,7 % en 2022...
