Wenn rund 40% deiner eigenen Basis den eigenen Vorschlag ablehnen, könnte man sich ja auch einmal fragen, ob der vorgeschlagene Gesetzestext wirklich eine so gute Idee war. Kollateralschaden: Moderate Erbschaftssteuer ist für die nächsten Jahre wieder vom Tisch.
In 10 days, Swiss citizens will vote on the introduction of a inheritance tax on inherited wealth above 50 million CHF.
All current polls show that the proposal will likely be rejected by a large majority, showing that inheritance taxes are probably the least popular social policy in Switzerland.

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Some good news this morning - exports of Xinjiang tomatoes have collapsed. Last year I worked with the BBC to expose how XJ tomatoes produced with forced labour were making their way to UK supermarkets via Italy. 🧵
The western Chinese region of Xinjiang dramatically increased tomato cultivation and processing in recent years, but slumping sales to Italy and other western European markets have left it sitting on a vast stockpile of unsold paste. on.ft.com/4i5bFtZ

Procedural violations (her emails) or personal flaws (Biden’s aging) are understandable in this framework and need to be punished to reassert the legitimacy of the system. “The president is a rapist who participated in a child trafficking network” breaks the whole premise of legitimacy.

More than anything else, powerful men - like the ones who run the NYT - believe in the legitimacy of power itself. Because if it isn’t legitimate, they have to start asking hard questions about the world and themselves.
