Urban trees can absorb more CO₂ than cars emit on some summer days, Munich study shows
How much carbon dioxide do parks and individual trees in cities absorb, and how much do they release? To answer this question, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a high-resolution CO₂ biogenic flux model. Their findings show that, on average, around 2% of Munich's annual urban emissions are compensated by vegetation. Urban trees have the greatest impact, whereas grassy areas are often net sources of CO₂.

Territorial concessions by Ukraine won't bring peace, Zelensky says in Munich
"It would be an illusion to believe that this war can now be reliably ended by dividing Ukraine – just as it was an illusion to believe that sacrificing Czechoslovakia would save Europe from a greater war," Zelensky said at the Munich Security Conference.

...during his comments announcing a new defense industrial strategy, Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke up against Christian Nationalism.
While he wasn't asked directly about it, Carney opted to call out a recent speech by United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio. In his Munich speech, Rubio described the USA and Europe as sharing a Christian faith and heritage. His speech was condemned by the Freedom From Religion Foundationn.

A Metro line in #munich can‘t run due to repair on the tracks. People flock to busses in rush hour. Bus is overloaded already. Who also crams in: mother with a stroller, woman with steaming hot tea that she will spill as soon as the bus starts rolling. Bus inches forwards through morning commute full of SUVs with a single guy inside.

The standing ovation that European politicians gave Marco Rubio in Munich serves to diminish his influence in the US administration, according to Anthony Scaramucci. Trump does not like anyone in the administration but himself to get a standing ovation, and the fact that Rubio has had one will definitely be held against him.

And "free" also implies that the worker is supposedly completely free. He is free in the sense that he can sell for as high a price as he can manage.
Himself?
Yes, for as much money as possible. - Now, in this market, the computer replaces the best thing the worker has to offer: knowledge and skill. The machine takes over both, and he himself is degraded to a mere machine operator. His actual abilities have been coaxed out of him and incorporated into the device. Consequently, he has less to sell than before, and what he can still sell is worth less.
He himself loses value?
Yes, because he is not only robbed of the ability to provide bread for his family, but also of one of the signs that prove to him that he is human. Now he is simplified and transformed into an operator. (Almost like in Kafka, where a man is transformed into a beetle; Kafka is a prophet in that regard.)"
