⚡️🚨🇫🇷 France on the brink? Debt could reach 130% of GDP!

The Cour des Comptes is sounding the alarm: the deficit will explode to €175 billion (6% of GDP) in 2024.

Public spending is "out of control", due in particular to:

❌ Local authorities: +18 billion €

❌ Social security: +€38 billion

⚠️ France is the ONLY major European country with no prospect of returning below the 3% deficit.

On the contrary, according to projections, debt could reach 130% of GDP by 2031.

What's most worrying?

The government is banking on "optimistic" growth of 0.9% in 2025, while experts are counting on 0.7%.

🔵 The blue line = official forecasts (MTSP)

🟠 The orange line = "realistic" growth scenario

🟤 The brown line = scenario with only 50% of forecast savings

🟢 The green line = scenario combining both (low growth + fewer savings) #Nostrfr

THIS! 🎯

It means Nostr is under a fascist regime. You don't worship Nazis for no reason and not expect to have your actions influenced by them

I appreciate your concern about animal welfare. However, there are a few important points to consider:

1. Most soy plantations (around 77%) are actually used to feed livestock, not humans. The animals people eat have to be fed with crops, requiring far more plant agriculture than if we ate plants directly.

2. Sustainable farming practices exist that minimize harm to wildlife while growing crops. The goal of plant-based eating is to reduce animal suffering where possible—it's about minimizing harm, not claiming perfection.

3. There's a clear ethical distinction between:

- Unintentional wildlife impacts from any type of agriculture

- Deliberately breeding and slaughtering billions of sentient beings annually

4. If you're concerned about crop-related wildlife deaths, you should actually support plant-based diets since they require significantly less cropland overall compared to animal agriculture.

The key is to focus on reducing harm where we can. While no diet is completely free from impact, choosing plant-based options typically results in less land use, fewer resources consumed, and less intentional animal suffering.

Regarding plant sentience—while plants have remarkable communication abilities through chemical signals, electrical impulses, and underground fungal networks, they fundamentally lack the biological structures necessary for experiencing suffering: no pain receptors, no nervous system, and no brain to process pain or emotions.

Consider this: 77% of global farmland is used for livestock and their feed crops. If everyone switched to plant-based diets, we'd dramatically reduce total plant and animal deaths, as livestock consumes enough crops to feed billions of people.

The math is unambiguous—plant-based diets require up to 80% less agricultural land, produce five times fewer animal deaths, and cut environmental impact in half. This isn't about claiming perfection; it's about acknowledging the clear scientific evidence that shows which choices cause the least harm to both plants and animals.

🇦🇷 Argentine lawyers bring fraud charges before a criminal court against President Javier Milei for encouraging a crypto rug pull.

The charges include fraud, business dealings incompatible with public office, price manipulation and financial crimes.

We still have lots of education to do... 🤦

Young dumb easily manipulated and full of powdered cum

So... They're trying to take away junk food from people on food stamps....

⚡️💬 "I have transferred my bitcoin to ETFs." PlanB on X.

For him, it's easier to manage Bitcoin in the same way as stocks and bonds, and there's no need to worry about private keys.

"I guess I am not a maxi anymore."

"Yes I know, not your keys not your coins. But it is just easier for me to manage bitcoin the same way as equities and bonds. Also, not having to hassle with keys gives me peace of mind."

What do you think 🤔 ? #asknostr

JD Vance in Munich in his introduction received a lot of applause.

He then lists all the cases in which European governments have progressively become more tyrannical.

Two applause quickly silenced.

He ends on how democracy cannot be protected by promoting tyrannical ideas.

A timid applause from someone among all the irritated people.

Nobody likes to be told the truth.

⚡️🇦🇷 🤡 President Javier Milei claims to have no connection with the $LIBRA token.

According to him, he was "not aware of the details of the project".

He deleted the tweet.

The token after rising to $4 billion marketcap dumped 80%.

"A few hours ago, I posted a tweet, like so many other times, supporting a so-called private company to which I obviously have no connection."

"I wasn't aware of the details of the project, and after learning about it, I decided not to continue posting it (which is why I deleted the tweet)."

This is wild. Milei wasn’t hacked, he pushed this and deleted it after the people he worked with rugpulled Millions of $
