A Kiel businessman criticized a sugar tax as pointless and referred to it as theft. As an alternative, he pointed to Chile, where strict labeling for foods with too much fat, sugar, or calories was introduced in 2016. The products received large warning labels on the packaging; additionally, their advertising on children's television and their sale in schools were banned. According to the Kiel businessman, manufacturers subsequently made their products significantly healthier. Within a few years, children and adults became slimmer, and the awareness of healthy eating increased among the population. He advocated for clear labeling instead of a tax and criticized the traffic light system used in Germany as opaque. He cited the influence of the food manufacturers' lobby as the reason for this. #Zuckersteuer #Lebensmittelkennzeichnung #GesundeErnährung (translated)

Boeminghaus asked how long one would still watch the economic foundation crumble and where the uprising of entrepreneurs, high achievers, and others who keep the country running was. A conversation with FernetBuehler offers clear language and economic expertise instead of whitewashing and political clichés, he wrote, recommending people to take a look at it. https://t.co/BQwyF9oge0 #Wirtschaft #Unternehmertum #Beratung (translated)

Max von Kreyfelt proposed a compulsory integration course for D66 in his column. According to him, the party spoke excellent Dutch, but still needed to learn how to deal with people who have different beliefs. He referred to Jan Paternotte, who mentioned the Renaissanceschool associated with Forum for Democracy in the Chamber and asked for stricter rules for new schools. According to Von Kreyfelt, Rob Jetten had advocated for a swift evaluation and possible legislative changes. The proposed course would, according to Von Kreyfelt, include lessons on civil rights, freedom of education, diversity, democracy, and equal rights. He wrote that citizens should be allowed to think independently and vote for other parties, and that a political background in itself was not an offense. Regarding Jetten's statements on October 9 about taking stronger action against certain schools and online channels where, in his view, young people were learning incorrect ideas about equal rights, Von Kreyfelt noted that Jetten had not mentioned the Renaissanceschool. As an exam task, Von Kreyfelt described a parent who wanted to pass on different beliefs to their child than D66. According to him, a student would succeed with an answer that did not involve inspection, improvement processes, or legislative changes. He concluded that D66 needed to learn that a free society also existed without its permission. #Inburgering #Diversiteit #Democratie (translated)

Vladimir Putin is a butcher. He slaughters his own people. And he slaughters good Ukrainian people. He will never be our friend. So the president is doing everything he can to reduce diesel prices. But you know what would lower them? The end of the war in Iran. Senate Republican John Kennedy indicated support for the president's intentions to lower prices but opposed "his decision to import diesel from Putin." #RusijosNafta #Ukraina #Kongresas (translated)

LuigiWrestling pointed out that LA Knight was not at the level of Kenny Omega in the ring and that, in his opinion, he never would be. Nevertheless, he considered that the wrestler performed more than adequately according to WWE standards and made up for it with his connection with the audience.
