Via CAS: 👉Wat veel mensen niet weten, is dat EU-landbouwsubsidies ook terechtkomen bij fokkers van stieren voor stierenvechten.
Naar schatting gaat het om ongeveer €200 miljoen per jaar.
In steeds meer Europese landen roept dat vragen op. Publiek geld is niet bedoeld voor dierenleed.

Do #meat and #dairy #subsidies make them much cheaper?
According to Hannah Ritchie, not really.
"Across the #EU #US, and global modelling, removing direct subsidies would likely raise retail meat prices by well under 5%, and often closer to 1% or 2%. This drop would not be enough to change the economics relative to meat substitutes."
Important to make the difference between direct and indirect subsidies. The post is below

As we end the week, there is one correspondence I cannot forget.
Elon Musk has been making money from Starlink being used in the Ukraine war since February 2022. And through all this time, Russians have been using Starlink to coordinate their invasion, their bombing of cities, their killing of civilians.
And now, after 1440 days of making a profit off of Russian Starlink terminals — after countless Ukrainians have been killed — he casually turns off the Russian terminals.
I am lost for words.
@randahl 🧐This person #Musk is known for many things incl'g:
1) selling #EVs with #defective door handles tt resulted in #deaths (many fiery) of >=15 innocent folks;⚰️
2) selling #SpaceX rockets tt experts argue are physically infeasible & yet earned billions of $ of #taxpayer-funded government #subsidies & #contracts;💸
3) buying #twitter & turning it into an #XGrok cesspit of child & female sex #exploitation content; etc., etc.🤦♂️
In a normal country, such a person would've been incarcerated, no?🇺🇸
#House passes #bill to extend #healthcare #subsidies in defiance of #GOP leaders
In a remarkable rebuke of Republican leadership, the House passed #legislation Thursday, 230-196, that would extend expired #health care subsidies for those who get coverage through the Affordable Care Act [ #ACA] as “renegade” GOP lawmakers joined essentially all #Democrats in voting for the measure.

Though #MikeJohnson had signaled openness to allowing debate on the proposal, he ultimately rejected a bid to do so by politically vulnerable #Republicans who had hoped for a vote that would, at the very least, allow them to show voters they had tried to avoid rising premiums.

Speaker #MikeJohnson on Tuesday shut the door on a vote to extend #AffordableCareAct subsidies that are set to expire at the end of the year, bucking moderates in his party who had urged action to prevent millions of Americans from facing higher #health care costs starting Jan 1.

🏠 Housing is a right, not a privilege.
Yet affordable, quality homes are out of reach for too many across Europe - especially young people, families, and vulnerable groups.
The EU is acting with its Affordable Housing Plan: tackling structural barriers, boosting supply, and unlocking investment.
️🗣️ Have your say.
A public consultation is open until 17 October.

Have your say ? 🤔
I'll start right here:
The @EUCommission together with other #EU regulations regarding #subsidies is forbiding #communities to invest in #PublicHousing & is in #neoliberal fashion #DeRegulating the #HousingMarket which has been and is THE MAIN DRIVER of our European #HousingCrisis.
You took affordable housing away from us! (Long ago.)
It must feel so satisfying for you people to mock us now over this.
Cynical and evil.
