Here’s why wages are falling behind inflation, an economic warning sign
It wasn’t so long ago that Americans’ earnings lost ground to inflation.
From 2021 to 2023, prices for gas, food and housing soared due to a combination of increased demand and supply chain shocks.

Pouvons-nous rendre les vélos à nouveau durables ?
Le vélo est le plus durable des moyens de transport, mais il devient de plus en plus néfaste à l’environnement. Une quantité croissante d’énergie et de matériaux est requise pour sa fabrication tandis que sa durée de vie baisse.

Karin Kneissl, Ex-Außenministerin Österreichs, lebt seit 2023 in einem 400-Seelen-Dorf in der Region Rjasan. Im Interview beschreibt sie: In russischen Dörfern fehlt fast die gesamte Generation zwischen 15 und 50. Verbreiteter Alkoholismus, Mütter, die Schnaps statt Essen kaufen. Staatlicher Druck auf Frauen, mehr Kinder zu bekommen. Sie zählt die Folgen einzeln auf – über dem Sofa hängt Putins Porträt. Weggehen? Für sie „eine dumme Frage".

Einst tanzte Karin Kneissl auf ihrer Hochzeit mit Wladimir Putin, nun lebt sie allein in der russischen Provinz. Für viele bleibe sie dort eine Fremde, sagt sie. Doch obwohl sie vor Ort vieles irritiert, wolle sie nicht weg.

'Afgelopen vijf jaar [aug 2025] is de Nederlandse aanschaf van Israëlische wapens geëxplodeerd.
