Maxim Röder wrote that he sees no long-term reasons for concern about ServiceNow and has already explained his assessment in detail this year. Corporations do not only buy software, but also certifications, liability, support guarantees, audit trails, and a data model that has received millions of customizations over the years. Therefore, the switching barrier is very high. According to Röder, a clone created with Vibe Coding does not offer these safeguards. In case of errors in productive operation, the liability question arises, and no CIO will risk their neck for that. Additionally, large corporations have different approval processes, security standards, and regulatory requirements than small companies. According to Röder, ServiceNow positions itself as a deeply integrated platform that connects various AI models and data sources and orchestrates processes in companies securely. For investors, the question is not whether AI scripts will replace enterprise software, but how quickly and effectively ServiceNow will monetize new AI licenses. #Software #KI #ServiceNow (translated)

We have made adjustments and savings that reflect the priorities of the member states. This preserves the goal of meeting the new political priorities of our modern budget while also supporting core areas such as the Common Agricultural Policy and Cohesion Policy. Almost every program in the budget will be increased compared to the current Multiannual Financial Framework, emphasized the representative of the Irish Council Presidency, Minister of State for European Affairs Thomas Byrne, at the press conference. #EUBudget #Entwicklungspolitik #Agrarpolitik (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Porsche delivered 178,532 vehicles worldwide in the first nine months of 2026, 16 percent less than in the same period the previous year with 212,509. In China, sales fell by 33 percent to 21,493 vehicles. Porsche is now losing ground in all markets, he explained. Deliveries of the Taycan fell by 31 percent to 8,699, and the Panamera dropped by about a third to 13,781. The 911, on the other hand, increased by twelve percent. According to Boeminghaus, Porsche is responding with a realignment towards fewer models and higher sales prices. The ongoing sales losses are increasing economic adjustment pressure and uncertainty about the future of the company and its employees, he wrote. He cited Handelsblatt as the source. https://t.co/0VvHt1JNL0 #Porsche #Absatzkrise #Automobilindustrie (translated)

Before the car show in Paris, VW, Renault, and Stellantis, together with politicians, are demanding measures to protect the European automotive industry from increasing competition from China and are seeking an adjustment of EU rules to increase value creation in Europe. #Autoindustrie #MadeInEU #Elektroautos (translated)

The author wrote that an adjustment is not the purpose of the procedure but could be a possible consequence. From his perspective, it is more likely that a determination of unconstitutionality will occur if the party continues its course. At the same time, he stated that the party could present itself to the court as it is. (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Forvia plans to cut up to 10,000 jobs across Europe as part of the EU Forward program launched in 2025. In Germany, the restructuring mainly affects the former Hella business, while further austerity measures are underway in the automotive industry. According to Boeminghaus, Forvia CEO Martin Fischer expects a global consolidation of the supplier industry and has warned about critical supply chains. Recently, Forvia achieved five billion euros in sales in China and conducted 80 percent of its new business with local manufacturers. Boeminghaus cited Merkur as the source. https://t.co/45q2R95lXN #Autoindustrie #Stellenabbau #Forvia (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus announced that Schmitz Cargobull plans to cut up to 500 jobs in Germany by 2030. The affected areas are primarily indirect ones; it is still unclear at which locations and in which departments jobs could be eliminated. Despite increased vehicle sales, the overall result remains negative, according to the Münsterland Zeitung cited by Boeminghaus. https://t.co/IGeP7ivgiA #Stellenabbau #Industrie #Deutschland (translated)

Similar to Germany, there have also been demands in Norway to tax the wealth of the rich more heavily. The government has implemented it. From 151,000 euros onwards, there is a 1% wealth tax in Norway. The consequences are severe: > 12% of the population had to pay wealth tax in 2023 > There is no automatic adjustment; due to inflation, the number of those affected continues to rise each year > The number of emigrants has more than doubled since the last tax increase >>> A nice outlook on what would also happen in Germany. The middle class has to pay wealth tax, and capital is leaving the country. #Vermögenssteuer #Norwegen #Steuerpolitik (translated)

Die Babyboomer haben im Schnitt 1,4 Kinder. Der Erbschaftsteuer-Freibetrag für Kinder beträgt 400.000 Euro. Keine Anpassung an die Inflation. Jedes Jahr trifft es mehr Menschen. Das ist Mittelschicht. Das ist z.T. sogar untere Mittelschicht. Jeder mit Haus zahlt diese Steuer. Es ist ein Angriff auf Eigentum und Familien. #Erbschaftsteuer #Mittelschicht #Familien
