The difference is that the other 7.5% (plus a few more such line items) don't appear in your progressive tax rate, and they also don't appear in "how much do you earn in country X" comparisons.

The problem is the "mega project" part of it, not the means of production. Unlike coal or nuclear, renewables are easily scaled down without creating a huge risk: for coal, you want to go large for efficiency reasons and to ensure

I don't care about the United States. Other than that, "needing to leave the country" (what I said) is very different from "illegally enter" (what you said), starting with the direction of travel.

The article is about a person who forged papers starting in WW2 and up to the 70s to get people out of dire situations. It ends in "“I did all I could when I could. Now, I can’t do anything,” he said. Surely, though, the rest of us can

I mentioned in the 1000pcs bottle for price comparison purposes. Buy a 1000 pcs bottle, split up with 10 friends who get 100pcs each, split up the costs, save 4€ out of 6€ per person.

800mg is only available by prescription (of course, you could just take 2x400mg, but that means going to the pharmacy even more often, which works out as designed)

It was just for cost comparison: The "equal active substance" (50x400mg vs 100x200mg) package is already cheaper in the US, and they have those larger boxes that skew things even more. So yes, there are drugs that are cheaper in t
