#Mehrwertsteuer wird auch für Burger King- und McDonalds-Fraß reduziert: 500 Mio. € #Steuer - Geschenk von #Dehoga - und #Blackrock - Cheflobbyist #Merz an #Lobby.

Das fördert mangelhafte #Arbeitsbedingungen, #Hygienemißstände, Ignoranz deutschen Rechts, ekliges Essen, US-amerikanisches Denken und -Unternehmen.

#Boykott US-Unternehmen – die wunderbare Chance, #SlowFood, #Europa, seine #Werte, wiederzuentdecken. Sich vom US - #Überwachungskapitalismus zu trennen.

Hong Kong's #CKHutchison opens new tab will not sign a deal next week to sell its two port operations near the #PanamaCanal to a #BlackRock-led group, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said, as pressure mounted from Beijing.

> #China's market regulator said it will carry out an antitrust review on the #Panama port deal in accordance with a law to protect fair competition and safeguard the public interest, its official WeChat account showed late on Friday reuters.com/business/ck-hutchi

🇺🇸 Billionaire Larry Fink wants to privatize social security. This is why we need a General Strike. This is why, 3 years ago, we hosted a General Strike Summit. This is why I continue to call out billionaires. They're a problem. We will all suffer while they thrive!

Schon lange frage ich mich, woher die braunschwarze Gesinnung des Mannes kommt, der sich schon als unser Bundeskanzler fühlt.

In dieser #Correctiv-Recherche hatte ich gelesen, dass #Merz nicht nur #BlackRock-Lobbyist ist, sondern auch oft #BASF als Anwalt vertreten hat: correctiv.org/aktuelles/wirtsc

Heute wurde ich daran erinnert, dass #Auschwitz III ein Arbeitslager der IG Farben war, zu der auch BASF gehörte. Und schon passt alles zusammen. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/KZ_Ausch

#Trump’s comments were regarding #BlackRock's agreement to acquire 2 ports serving the #PanamaCanal from a Chinese group, CK Hutchinson, as part of a larger $22.8B deal.

#Mulino on Wednesday rejected the notion that the deal came about because of pressure from the #US & he accused Trump of "lying again."

"I reject in the name of #Panama & all Panamanians this new affront to the truth & our dignity as a nation," he said in a post….

The #Trump White House on Wed doubled down on taking credit for the #BlackRock deal to place 2 #PanamaCanal ports under #US control.

#Panama Pres José Raúl #Mulino on Wed accused Trump of lying about his claim a day earlier that the US is "reclaiming" the Panama Canal.

"My administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, & we've already started doing it," Trump said during his address to #Congress on Tues.
