A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

LET'S FUCKING GOOO
heavy insistence on this mechanism was how smallest (liberatian-ish) party of last coalition iirc limited defense spending including military aid to Ukraine. in last elections they fell under electoral threshold and have no seats in bundestag at all, rip bozo, you won't be missed
If I remember correctly, this js also why DB is in such a shit condition, it needs a LOT of investment, but the government couldn't raise debt to pay it off over time.
were there people advocating for privatizing DB?
Always have been, DB is technically a for profit open capital company, but 100% of its shares are owned by the government (thats why its called Deutsche Bahn A.G., the ag stands for "share company"). It used to be a normal governmental body but was made that to privatize it later, something that never happened. Most Germans I know would rather take DB back than privatize it.

A robust Europe that could be more assertive on the world stage is good for the world in the long run. I say that as an American. Best of luck to the Germans, EU as a whole, the UK, and everyone else in the region.
Started investing in European stocks via mutual funds since last week. Let's gooooo🚀🚀🚀🌕
Which ones do you like for the next five years or so?
It's through a mutual fund so it's more a case of what the fund managers like for next 5 years.
Anyway, their portfolio seems like European heavyweights. Shell, SAP, Barclay's, AstraZeneca, Allianz etc. That's generally the case with developed markets. You're rarely going to beat the index.
Scroll down to portfolio to see.
And whatever returns I or other investors will get will be affected by Euro-Rupee rate. Seems like Euro will keep getting stronger over time.
Oh btw, I'm investing equivalent of 20 or so Euros per month. Might increase to 30 Euros once I get salary hike.
Thanks, gives me something to think about. I'm using my US-based brokerage so I'll have to figure something else out. Cheers
They'll have to make sure to skim wealth from the top and get it to the people at the bottom of they want to keep voters away from the far right.
Unlikely with Black Rock Merz being in charge
The people of northern Europe, you have your shit together! Can you influence the rest of Europe (only slightly) and teach the rest of the world how you do it? I think we really need healthy dose of European influence right about now!! Thank you! ♥️
