Paul Ronzheimer reported that there was once again air defense in the center of Kyiv. Zelensky's advisors were shocked and speechless in light of the news from Washington: Trump is demanding a new president for Ukraine after the diesel deal with Putin. A close advisor of Zelensky told him that they had expected to come into focus again during the Midterm election campaign, but did not anticipate this development. According to Ronzheimer, there were numerous phone calls with European partners. The greatest concern was that Trump could actually end the intelligence cooperation. The US president is calling for an end to Ukrainian attacks on oil and gas facilities. #Ukraine #Kyiv #Trump (translated)

Because of a presumably generous fee agreement with his lawyer, the actual costs could be significantly higher. #Recht #Urteil #SozialeMedien (translated)

The US inflation has fallen overnight by 0.3 percentage points. Not a single price has decreased because of this. The calculation method has changed, retroactively to 2021. For July, the US statistics agency previously reported a core inflation of 3.3% (excluding energy and food), now it shows 3.0%. For August, 3.0% was recorded, although economists had expected 3.3%. On paper, this is a clear decline. Three areas were adjusted: software, legal consulting, and asset management. The last one best illustrates the problem. An advisor charges a 1% fee on your portfolio. If the stock market rises by 20%, you pay 20% more in dollars, even though he has never raised his rate. Statistics had previously counted this as a price increase. In May, this inflation was at 21.6%; using the new method, it would be 14.3%. The Canadian bank RBC estimates that the new method alone pushes core inflation down by about 0.18 percentage points, mainly due to software. A large part of today’s decline is thus purely a matter of calculation. Even on Wall Street, the number is read cautiously. BNY strategist John Velis advises treating any softer value after the adjustment as a statistical correction. His conclusion: less noise, the same amount of inflation. Why this matters: Two weeks ago, the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2023 to 3.75% to 4.00%. 16 out of 18 members expect another increase this year. This inflation figure is what decides that and it impacts credit rates, mortgages, and the direction of stocks and Bitcoin. On paper, inflation has decreased today. At the supermarket checkout, however, no one notices anything.

Ich hatte schon gerätselt, warum zum Teufel Sven Schulze zu einem Sommerwahlkampf bei 35 Grad Plakate von sich in einer dicken Herbstjacke hängen ließ. Hier wird klar: Das wollte seine Frau so. Und seine Berater trauten sich nicht, das Offenkundige auszusprechen. Ein tragischer Autounfall in Zeitlupe – man kann einfach nicht wegsehen. #Politik #Sommerwahlkampf #SvenSchulze

Katherina Reiche und ihr Beirat warnen vor einem übertriebenen Protektionismus gegen China, obwohl viele Unternehmen unter der Billigkonkurrenz leiden und die EU reagiert, während die Berater der Ministerin die Hauptursache für die Schwäche der Industrie nicht in Peking sehen. #Wirtschaft #China #Industrie

Als landesweit geschätzter PR-Berater sehe ich oftmals Wahlkampf-Slogans, die entweder strunzhackendumm, nicht zielführend, maximal uncool oder einfach nur peinlich gelogen sind. Manche sind sogar alles das zusammen. Weil ich bekanntlich ein netter Kerl bin, biete ich ab sofort Parteien bei besonders dämlichen Slogans kostenlose Beratungshilfe. Die schwersten Fälle haben natürlich Vorrang, daher fange ich an bei einer Partei, die bereits seit 163 Jahren geistig behindert ist: Die SPD! #Wahlkampf #PRBeratung #Politik
