For Lars Løkke handlede det ALDRIG om noget. Det handlede ALTID om nogen. Nemlig ham selv. Men én ting er sikkert. Jeg kommer til at æde ham og hans folk hver evig eneste dag. Og der er INGEN på Christiansborg med større appetit end mig!
Jeg bor selv til leje i en provinsby og det kan godt betale sig. Jeg har 5 værelser og 110 kvm til en husleje Jeg knap nok kunne få en et-værelse for i København. Derudover har jeg indrettet mit liv til at have så få faste udgifter som muligt. Det gør følgende: A) Jeg kan arbejde med ting jeg sytes er interessant og ikke blot for at betale en husleje. Det betyder at jeg pt. kan arbejde med at løse vigtige samfundsproblemer, selvom jeg bliver betalt under min markedsværdi. B) Jeg er ikke tvunget til at sutte røv på en arbejdsgiver, da jeg kan betale mine udgifter på en overførselsindkomst. Det betyder at jeg på mange måder, har ret meget kontrol over mit arbejdsliv, da jeg er mere villig til at tage chancer. C) Jeg har ingen lån, da jeg har et fornuftigt beløb tilovers efter jeg har betalt alle udgifter. Det betyder at jeg relativt hurtigt kan spare op til de ting jeg gerne vil have eller få mine penge til at arbejde for mig gennem investeringer. D) Når jeg køber noget, så foretager jeg altid en vurdering af om det er et aktiv som mister eller holder værdi. Hvis du kun køber aktiver, som taber værdi (f.eks. dyre el-biler, som meget hurtigt mister værdi), så bliver du meget hurtig fattig. Sådan som jeg ser det, så er de fleste mennesker økonomisk retarderede. De træffer økonomiske valg efter hvad der føles godt, frem for hvad der er rationelt. Kun meget få tænker langsigtet. Den retarderede forbruger er så besat af social status, at de vælger at bo i boliger, som de ikke har råd til, have biler de ikke har råd til og et forbrug, som de slet ikke har råd til. Det gør at de aldrig bliver økonomisk frie, men lander i et selvskabt slaveforhold mellem generet indkomst og gæld. Faktum er at alle er pænt ligeglade med hvad du ejer og hvor du bor. Så du ender blot i bundløs gæld og et arbejdsliv, der bare æder din livskvalitet, fordi du vil skabe et billede af dig selv, som alle andre grundlæggende er ligeglade med. Du kan sagtens indrette dit liv, så din økonomi ikke er et problem. Jeg bor selv i centrum af en fin lille provinsby. Jeg har adgang til stort set alle faciliteter som folk der bor i København, uden at have de samme udgifter. Det betyder konkret, at jeg meget sjældent tjekker om der er penge nok på min bankkonto, da jeg som udgangspunkt forbruger væsentligt mindre end jeg tjener. #dkpol #dkfinans #privatøkonomi
As of now, already 5 people have been reported killed in Kyiv as a result of last night’s Russian attack. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Around 40 people have been injured in the capital, and another 7 in the Kyiv region. There are already 28 injured in Kharkiv. And two people have been injured in the Odesa region. In total, 180 sites have been damaged across the country, including more than 50 ordinary residential buildings. A search and rescue operation is still ongoing in Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district. Efforts continue to find people under the rubble. More than 10 people are reported missing. All necessary services are also operating in the Obolonskyi district. And recovery efforts are underway after Russian strikes in the Poltava region. Overall, more than 750 personnel of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and nearly 750 police officers have already been engaged across the country to eliminate the consequences of the attack. I am grateful to all who help the rescuers and the police Also, earlier today, during a humanitarian mission in Kherson, the Russians twice attacked a vehicle of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs with FPV drones, and the Russians could not have been unaware of which vehicle they were targeting. The Head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and eight other staff members were inside. Fortunately, no one was injured. The mission personnel have been evacuated. Even so, a significant number of missiles and drones were shot down during these attacks – the overall interception rate is over 93%. Of course, it needs to be higher. And of course, the most difficult challenge is defending against ballistic missiles. I thank everyone who is helping us with this. There must be a just response to all these strikes. And pressure on Moscow must be such that they feel the consequences of their terror there. It is important that global sanctions against Russia remain in place. Russia’s accountability for this war, and our sanctions pressure, must work at full strength. And it is also very important that the world does not stay silent about this terror and stands with Ukraine.
Scoop: Julie Davis, the acting US Ambassador in Kyiv, is leaving the State Department having grown frustrated with Trump's dwindling support for Ukraine. Davis's resignation follows that of her predecessor, Bridget Brink, who resigned for similar reasons early last year. W/@christopherjm as.ft.com/r/1781e555-fad…
Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
