In deinem verlinkten Artikel steht an erster Stelle „Der Staat zahlt der Rentenversicherung immer höhere Zuschüsse.“ Warum er das derzeit machen muss ändert nichts am positiven Effekt den eine Erhöhung des Rentenalters hätte.

Renteneintrittsalter sofort erhöhen würde aber enorm helfen, denn dann müsste der Bund weniger zuschiessen. Aber so schlimm dass man Boomer verärgern möchte ist die Krise wohl nicht.

Incredibly naive to assume Netanyahu has any regard for humanitarian concerns. You should demand Western governments to impose harsh sanctions on Israel!

It speaks lengths that in July 2025 an Economist reporter discovers that war crimes happen in Gaza. I love your newspaper but your Gaza reporting is a complete and utter failure that has enabled what’s happening right now.

A step further would be to design the tariffs to de-risk the relationship with US and only remove them if substantial concessions are offered.

That’s indeed the most benign way to understand it: Rutte sacrificing his dignity to keep Trump on Europe’s side until it has rearmed itself.

Israels Kriegsverbrechen in Gaza sind gut dokumentiert. Zu sagen man „vermutet“ diese ist schon grenzwertig.

I’m pretty the current justifications for repeated war crimes in Gaza will also eventually feature in the list of monstrosities supported by The Economist. Really a shame for such an otherwise great paper

What would be the alternative to it? As you said, the often still good hundreds of applications so they filter by grades and the reputation of your university (esp for entry level positions). I actually got an internship at a UN agency once simply because the manager thought my uni was good

What you describe is basically signalling theory in economics: employers take degrees as proxies for an employer‘s ability. It’s not just laziness though, without degree requirements you would have thousands of applicants for every high paying job and it would be impossible to assess their abilities

Not sure what you mean. Yes, Green Party has been rising but not to levels not seen in other European countries. As so often in Switzerland (and especially remote cantons like Valais), a broad political trend arrives after most other places.

MS in the EU context usually refers to as all 27 member states as a collective. Ukraine is not a member state (yet).

That would actually not be the worst outcome given the persistence of institutions that have outlived their purpose (eg. UNIDO and EBRD). Could lead to a more efficient multilateral system in the long term.

It’s probably just because it’s the FT and Goldman is a bank (or rather THE bank).
But you’re right that staying that short usually means that in Goldman’s up or out system, she was probably an « out ». Few people leave voluntarily before becoming Associates.
