The bill states, among other factors, that "An operating system provider shall do all of the following:"
"(1) Provide an accessib…

Asylzahlen halbiert, AfD trotzdem stabil. Wer noch glaubt, die Partei lebe vom Migrationsthema, hat ihren Markenkern nicht verstanden: Sie mobilisiert Angst vor sozialem Abstieg, Unsicherheit, Wut aufs System. Lösungen? Fehlanzeige. Merz' „populistische Plagiate", stärken sie, statt sie zu schwächen. Wir brauchen endlich eine konstruktive Erzählung – keine Kopie von rechts gegen die Anti-Partei. #T

"Das ist ein Irrglaube": Darum bleibt die AfD stark

Conservatives want schools to teach this strict life path they say avoids poverty
The steps are simple: Graduate from high school. Find a full-time job. Get married before having kids.

But soon, students across the country may be told that following those steps could keep them out of poverty as adults.
The approach is getting a boost from conservatives seeking to bring it to America’s middl…
