The author argued that the state should intervene when crises drive up the prices of essential goods. However, for many people, it is not refueling that is essential, but mobility. At the same time, windfall profits are particularly problematic in a crisis of justice. Therefore, he wrote, an alternative to the fuel discount is needed. https://t.co/aNv78UWw16 #SozialeGerechtigkeit #Preissteigerungen #StaatlichesEingreifen #DE (translated)

The author of the article criticized the Merz government for burdening citizens instead of implementing promised reforms. He accused them of taxing traders and consumers with a sugar and tobacco tax, and wrote that the fuel discount was evaporating. Furthermore, according to him, the nursing care reform would lead to higher contributions and surcharges as well as lower benefits. He stated that it was enough. https://t.co/BHpvn1cF5d #Steuern #Reformen #Bürgerrechte #DE (translated)
The prices for gasoline and diesel are rising slightly shortly after the reintroduction of the fuel rebate, even though a tax reduction of 16.7 cents per liter has been in effect since early October, which, according to ADAC, is difficult for consumers to understand. #Energiepreise #Tankrabatt #Kraftstoffpreise (translated)
Emanuel Boeminghaus reported that on October 4, several gas stations in the Northeim district had run out of fuel. At the Esso station in Katlenburg, all pumps had been closed, while the Calpam station in Hammenstedt had not displayed any prices. Other stations – TAS in Höckelheim, Aral at Westerlange, and Classic at Harztor – according to Boeminghaus, continued to offer all fuels. Classic explained the high demand, especially in the morning, with the fuel discount that has been in effect since October 1. No new deliveries had arrived over the weekend. Boeminghaus thanked Silke Lutz for the tip and mentioned HNA as the source. https://t.co/4Q2nvFwAvo #Tankstellen #Kraftstoff #Northeim (translated)
The Australian exchange student criticized the federal government for referring to a reduction in fuel taxes as a fuel discount. In his opinion, fuel should be taxed at exactly 0 percent. He wrote that citizens should now be grateful that they would be slightly less exploited for a few months and described the approach as one of the most brazen actions of the federal government. #Steuersenkung #Tankrabatt #Bundesregierung (translated)
Clear text from Munich bet that the political constellation would fall apart before Christmas Eve. Brussels is already making preparations and working on contingency plans for a possible departure of Merz, the author wrote. He described as particularly unfavorable a scenario in which Germany temporarily stands without leadership or sovereignty-driven forces, especially the AfD, gain significant influence. The political autumn could hardly become more exciting, he added. https://t.co/lUyiubjBgt #Zuckersteuer #Tankrabatt #Bedeutungslosigkeit #Diesel #NATO #Frankreich #Friedenpreis #Kerkeling #Politik #Deutschland #Merz (translated)

In 2022, numerous CDU politicians criticized Lindner's fuel discount because it is not passed on by the oil companies. Now the same mistake is being made for the second and third time. Either every daycare group has more mental maturity, or the money ends up where the Union wants it to be. https://t.co/pPEH2Wdw8e #CDU #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

I always thought that a fly that hits its head against the same window a hundred times is the dumbest form of repetition. Then there's already another fuel discount in Germany. At least the fly has a chance of finding an open window at some point. #Tankrabatt #Wiederholung #Deutschland (translated)
Life in Germany is getting more and more expensive. In September, inflation rose to over three percent. In terms of energy, the increase is even at 14.9 percent. The biggest price driver is fuel. Consumers had to pay almost 50 percent more for fuel in September compared to a year earlier. And what is the federal government doing? They are giving citizens a measly 17 cents, which doesn't even fully reach the consumer. The fuel discount, which comes into effect on October 1 after months of inaction by the Merz government, is a bad joke considering the enormous inflation! Not 17 cents, one euro would be appropriate! A price cap of 1.50 euros for fuel in Germany is urgently needed. This is possible if the CO2 price is abolished, the energy tax is halved, and the value-added tax on fuel and energy is reduced to 7 percent. #Inflation #Energiepreise #Kraftstoffpreise (translated)
The new fuel rebate has led to a significant decrease in fuel prices; however, it remains unclear how sustainable this relief will be for consumers while the Federal Cartel Office monitors the price developments. #Tankrabatt #Spritpreise #Kraftstoffpreise (translated)
