Je crois que je n'aurai jamais de mots assez durs quand un élu local viendra pleurnicher qu'il n'a pas assez d'argent et qu'il me soutiendra que sa collectivité est bien gérée. Il y a 20 ans, les DMTO rapportaient seulement 7,5 Md€. 50% moins qu'en 2023. Il y a 10 ans, les…

On top of this, Trump nominates 4 incompetent madhatters to top government jobs, showing all that he is completely incompetent & unsuited to be president, just like the last time around. Strangely, many take Biden's admirable normality as a given. It is not./3

C’est un impôt totalement contreproductif qui sanctionne financièrement la mobilité géographique des individus. Cela réduit donc la productivité du travail, allonge les trajets et la consommation énergétique, tout en accentuant les inégalités géographiques d’opportunités.
