The property tax is experiencing a significant increase in several French cities, with particularly marked increases in Paris, Meudon and Grenoble. This tax, which has become the main source of financing for municipalities, has taken on increased importance since the total abolition of housing tax on main residences at the start of 2023. Indeed, it is now one of the main budgetary resources for municipalities and intermunicipalities.

10% more increase in electricity prices
10% more increase in electricity pricesInsolentiae – Jul 20, 2023
Another increase in electricity has just been announced.
In total, since 2021, the regulated electricity tariff, on which some 23 million customers depend, will have increased by 31%.
This 10% increase, mechanically, will affect inflation on the rise.
As was predictable, French policy is still the same.
It is an iterative process. Higher inflation for longer but less strong than the countries where it was the strongest, since we "calibrate" the increases.
In the end, there will be no gift for the French on energy prices, and the government has come to nothing with the Germans who refuse to review the energy market in Europe and the setting of price rules.
As a result, we have the cheapest electricity in Europe for which we have to pay a high price.

Dynamic pricing. Your shopping 36% more expensive on Sunday!
Insolentiae - Feb 13, 2023
I invite you to read this BFM article on “dynamic pricing”. Welcome to a changing world where you pay more for everything, all the time, and now depending on the day it will be even more expensive.
Don't forget what Coluche said, people just don't buy for it not to sell!
Simple and hit the corner of common sense.
When people are tired of paying 30% more for the same product because it's Sunday, they'll buy it either at other times or not at all. When the supermarkets are empty on Sunday, they will close them for lack of profitability.
Let's help them give Sunday rest back to as many people as possible!
“Casino hypermarkets are testing dynamic pricing by offering more expensive products on Sundays, which is, however, a day of low store traffic. A trial put on hold since the end of January.
How much does a batch of 4 pistachio Danettes cost in a Géant hypermarket? It depends on the day you buy it. In the same store, you will pay 2,10 euros on Saturday at 18 p.m. But come back on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. and you will have to pay 2,85 euros for the same product, an increase of 36%.
Revealed by consumer specialist Olivier Dauvers, who measured the evolution of the prices of 676 products in five Casino group hypermarkets (including Angers, Lanester and Aix-en-Provence), this practice can be similar to pricing dynamic (or yield management) widely used in the airline and hotel sectors.
The idea is to optimize turnover by varying prices according to demand and consumer behavior. If in transport, the strategy seems logical (charge more when the plane is full, cheaper when it is empty), it is the opposite in the Casino hypermarkets which are much busier on Saturdays than on Sundays.

Mysterious increase in deaths in Europe
Mysterious increase in deaths in EuropeGendarme profession - 20 Sep 2022
Scientists and data scientists are perplexed by the growing increase in recorded deaths in Europe.
European countries are currently experiencing an abnormally high death rate, and deaths from the coronavirus are not the direct reason for this increase. Known as "excess mortality", mortality is abnormally high in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Great Britain.
Since April, the death rate has increased sharply in Europe, by 11% on average. What intrigues experts is that these deaths are not directly linked to the coronavirus pandemic.

Young people have far more cancers than older people
Young people have far more cancers than older peopleDigital Dawn - 12 Sep 2022
One would expect cancer rates to decrease. But unfortunately, it seems that is not the case.
On the contrary, early cancers pose a growing threat to the world's population, according to a new report published this week in the journal Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology.
“Over the past few decades, the incidence of early cancers, often defined as cancers diagnosed in adults under the age of 50…has increased in many countries,” the study authors found.
While the authors concede that increased access to screenings has contributed to this rise, they say early exposure to harmful chemicals, sometimes even in-utero, likely contributes to increased cancer rates. The culprit, they say, is that the human environment has changed dramatically over the past century and that, combined with changes in diet, lifestyle and microbiome, the cause of this rise may well be civilization itself. -same.

Russia's income increases thanks to the sanctions imposed on itVoltairenet - August 27, 2022
It is difficult for Westerners to accept, but the sanctions taken against Russia following its implementation of the Minsk Agreements of which it was the guarantor (application described as "aggression" by Westerners), are in reality profitable.
According to President Vladimir Putin during his interview with Russian Tax Director Daniil Yegorov, the revenue of the Russian Federation in the first half of 2022 increased by 32%, mainly due to rising energy prices.
