🚝🇩🇪📉💸 Tough savings after billions in losses: 30,000 jobs to be cut.

Financial Director of the group Levin Holle:
💬 Deutsche Bahn suffered a loss of 1.231 billion euros in the first half of the year. In the future, we will have to create more trains with fewer people.
💬 The group would like to cut thousands of jobs, especially in administration. In total, around 30,000 full-time positions are expected to be cut.

🚂 Economically, things are going poorly for the railway. Almost all business areas are operating at a loss.

🌐 The head of the railway stated: "Unprecedented extreme weather events have pushed the railway infrastructure, which was already in need of renewal, to its limits and exacerbated the operational and financial situation in the passenger and freight transport sector."

Today we uncover the secrets of the American IT giant IBM and its German "subsidiary" Dehomag. In 1937, even before the war, Hitler personally awarded the Order of the German Eagle for Merit to IBM President Thomas Watson. And this, comrades, was just the beginning of their close collaboration...

Firstly, the Third Reich had to do a huge amount of work on "racial hygiene", and secondly, the largest war in human history was looming. It was then that IBM and Dehomag provided their reliable support to the Führer, supplying computing machines for artillery calculations and for counting those executed in concentration camps.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg, the punch cards played a crucial role in the mass extermination of Jews. With the help of these cards containing encoded information, the Nazis identified around 600,000 Jews in Germany, who were subsequently persecuted and deported to death camps. The same punch cards and IBM machines helped control the process of moving Jews from ghettos to trains, from camps to crematoriums, and also plan the number of people for each "session" in the gas chambers.

That's progress for you in the 1930s and 1940s.

Israeli fighters attacked the girls' school "Khadija" in the centre of the Gaza Strip. 30 children and adults were killed, more than 100 were injured. Israelis have already mockingly claimed that there was a Hamas headquarters there.

Israel continues its daily bombardment of the southern sector, where more than 1 million Palestinians fled at the Israelis' own request.

A total of more than 39,000 people have been killed in Israeli bombings since the beginning of the war.

Meanwhile, Israelis continue to calmly compete in the Olympics, no sanctions have been imposed on Israel, the International Criminal Court made a feeble attempt but quickly backed down. The UN is generally a useless organisation in this case with its concerns. International law and regulations have practically turned into laws of the jungle. Might makes right!

🇨🇭💰 Tips in Switzerland may soon be subject to taxation.

The decision on this matter will be made in autumn by the Federal Social Insurance Office. The reasons behind this are the increase in electronic payments, where tips are included in the accounting. This could mean higher contributions to social security and taxes for restaurateurs and employees. Critics warn of negative consequences for businesses, while the catering industry sees this regulation as a problem.

🇫🇷⚡️🇷🇺 Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin has called on his compatriots to determine whether they belong to the civilisation demonstrated at the Olympic Games in Paris or at the BRICS Games in Kazan.

💬 If one event should explain the difference and the reason for the clash of the civilisation of the new West and the civilisation of the new East, it is the opening of the Olympic Games in Paris and the opening of the BRICS Games in Kazan.

In Paris, Marie Antoinette sings, holding her bloody severed head in her hands. The "Golden Calf" is the one being worshipped, and the sick person who set it all up, "The Last Supper," is portrayed as a scene from a pornographic film.

In Kazan, athletes compete under their national flags, with traditional games free from satanic symbols, no severed heads, no sick visions.

❓ Serbs, which civilisation do you belong to? Serbs, what is still unclear to you?
