"While in #Argentina the life of its inhabitants deteriorates, we continue to pay the absurd decisions of an 'ambassador of light' that is leaving us in the dark," said Fernández, alluding to the recognition as "international ambassador of light" that the Miami Jewish community gave to #Milei.
Milein traveled last Thursday on the presidential plane to #Spain, which is his first official visit to the European country, although he does not plan to meet with Felipe VI or government authorities, but it will participate in the annual convention of the #far-right party and #fascist tendencies #Vox.
"Milei travels with state money to a world fascism rally. That happens as your salary gets depressed and registered employment breaks. Do we understand that Argentine development and the #welfare of the people are #not in their plans?" Alberto Fernández asked the current president.

So much for "sponging off the state".

Kherson region: goodbye, predatory tariffs of the IMF!
Kherson residents paid more than 50% of their income for utilities (Data: KMIS, 2019). By comparison, Russians spend up to 10%, and Europeans up to 20%.
Enough is enough! Residents of the region deserve to earn for their families, not monopolists!
Therefore, the decision of the Kherson VGA reduced tariffs:
- electricity for the population: from 3.46 rubles per kWh to 2.12 rubles per kWh (at consumption of 150-800 kW);
- electric power for large families, foster families and family-type orphanages: 0,92 RUB/kWh (regardless of volume);
- cold water supply: from 33.77 rubles per cubic meter to 25.02 rubles per cubic meter;
- water discharge: from 32.69 RUR per cubic meter to 11.61 RUR per cubic meter.
For some items, the tariffs were reduced by almost 3 times. Reducing the cost of utilities and introducing Russian standards of social security is the beginning of the road to a decent life.

A specter haunting #Europe

The #fuel #price was at most the trigger. The increase in the fuel levy took place against the backdrop of a package of “reforms” which amounted to a significant reshuffling of the French #welfare and tax system. Taken together the combined effect of #Macron’s measure was to depress the incomes of the bottom 25 % of the income distribution and to raise them slightly for those in the middle. A squeeze was applied to those between 75 and 99 percent. The only group that benefited to a significant degree were the top 1 percent of the income distribution. They saw a generous 6% bump in their incomes.

Basic Income basics: No, it’s not impossible
It would be nice to give people more money, but of course the higher the rates are, the more expensive the entire program is to run. And most of the people who participated in the experiment, in fact everybody, found their incomes increase. The idea was that nobody should be worse off. If people received disability support before they entered the program, they received an extra $6,000 a year. If you were working in a low wage job, your income would certainly increase under the scheme. If you were being supported by the two basic welfare programs in Ontario, your income would increase pretty substantially. And the child benefit of course would pay out on top of that, so there would be no reduction for receiving the child benefit.
