And then looking at what actually constitutes energy pricing. 40% is energy production, 28% is grid fees and 32% is taxes.
Grid fees are going up partly because of political decisions to build needed transmission lines underground which does look nicer but makes things magnitudes more expensive.

And then - on top of things - we have again the political decision that the energy for industrial customers (currently ~0,18€) is further subsidised (down to ~0,12€) for specific industries by residential customers which are currently paying about ~0,39€ per kWh.
That too is driving up pricing...

LOL. A Project 2025 associated "conservative think-tank" wants to be a nuisance and hassle the Cisco board to explain why inclusion is good and provides financial value.
Hint: It's not about value, it's another sad attempt at ending woke.
Let me use my shareholder vote to tell them to GET FUCKED!

In short. Isabella needs a wellness check, there's a high probability she lost her brain and is now just vegetating, the perfect median voter.

It took me a moment but I now understand the median voter:
The median voter is an idiot with no connection between their views and vote.
Easy to predict, just pick the opposite candidate to what they profess to support. Their views don't matter, they are uninformed and it's vibes all the way. 😑

A terrible omission, better soon to be rectified.
Just two days ago I had the opportunity to visit a Spanish Aldi and I was blown away. The selection was absolutely lovely.
I'm seriously tempted to return and buy myself a nice 12 month old ham for only 65€...

The nice thing about the BSD daemon is, that it's an equal opportunity daemon for everyone.
Even the horny straights can have a daemonette.

And the spain surge followed by a black-out had nothing to do with renewables. That was just dumb and cheap propaganda. Instead the TSO failed at their job and made a multiple mistakes.
Nothing to do with renewables.

It is a real shame, that many institutions are not yet on BlueSky.
I would have loved to be able to share my displeasure of seeing a #TeslaTakedown Swasticar in a Scottish museum here.
Had to go over to the hell-site however because the Glasgow Life Charity is only reachable there. 😑

Oooff. I am not impressed with the focus on migrants as it’s an AfD-led distraction. Even deporting everyone overnight would not solve any pressing problems.
But to consider Brexit Britain an improvement? Not seeing it after all the „control of our borders“-discourse.

Lufthansa is offering Superbowl themed snacks in their lounge today.
Can’t help but wonder if this is the last time I‘ll see the US Soft Power in action. Because with the current actions it’s USOver soon.

Oh wow. The Trump effect is real, you can clearly see the prices of eggs going up, the close it comes to election day.
And then, after Trump gets elected, the price shoots up again.
Crazy.
