Nyx. Her children are all the personifications of various negative aspects of life. I‘ve got a bit of a pessimistic attitude. Just seems fitting.

I‘m sorry but..girlboss and hustle culture? I only remember "YOLO" and "treat yo self" financial habits. Do I have to turn in my millenial membership card somewhere now?

Though I doubt digital things will survive an apocalypse.

These types of protest happen in my country quite often and the worst I have heard the cops do is carry them away in purposefully painful ways or give full cavity searches after arresting.

The sound of dogs barking. If I liked that, I‘d be so happy every single day. I‘d wake up and go to sleep to a sound I enjoy. As it is, I will have to move and rent is even more expensive now, just depressing.

I‘m going to have 0 kids, for many reasons, one of them being climate and to balance out those who can‘t stop having them, but there is a surprising amount of people around me who can‘t even leave me alone about this. They need me specifically to have a kid for pensions sake or GDP or genes or some shit. It‘s wild. Don‘t even get me started on the taxes, already we pay proportionally far more for others kids (which I still DO support, if only to prevent kids growing up in poverty), but there is even talk in government to introduce a new tax specifically on those without children.

If there is one cultural change I wish that came out of all this, it would be that collectively society leaves people who don‘t want children live in peace.

From my daily 7,5h I‘d say about 3h of meetings and 2h of work

Humanity sucks. Destroys ecosystems. Feel hopeless.

In my city something similar is going on, three homeless people have already been stabbed while sleeping at night. I honestly don‘t understand the depravity humans get up to.

The only artist I would personally get excited about if someone foreign knew of them is the author Thomas Bernhard (Austria), but he was famous and infamous for hating Austrian culture and it wouldn‘t go over well with many others here I suppose.

So I posit some more widely liked people: Mozart, Falco or Arnold Schwarzenegger.

 
 
 

Finanzminister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP) hat mit seiner Aussage von Dienstag, wonach die hohen Lohnabschlüsse Grund für die im EU-Vergleich hohe Inflation in Österreich seien, auch am Mittwoch für Wirbel gesorgt. Kritik kam vom Koalitionspartner Grüne ebenso wie von SPÖ, FPÖ und der GPA. Brunner lenkte indes ein.

 

Im Gegensatz dazu:

Rising corporate profits account for almost half the increase in Europe’s inflation over the past two years as companies increased prices by more than spiking costs of imported energy.

Aber auch die Unternehmensgewinne spielten bei der Teuerung eine maßgebliche Rolle, sagte der Leiter des Konjunktur-Referats der OeNB, Gerhard Fenz. So sei die innerösterreichische Inflation (gemessen am BIP-Deflator) 2022 bei 6,4 Prozent gelegen, die Gewinne machten davon vier Prozentpunkte aus.

Nochmal auch im ORF alles so bestätigt:

Findet es noch jemand extrem bedenklich, dass der Finanzminister uns so krass was vorlügt und dabei sogar den Banken und Wirtschaftsforschern widerspricht? Sollten die nicht auf einer Linie sein?
