Replying to @stadtvermieter: Was viele Menschen in Deutschland nicht akzeptieren können oder wollen: Es gibt in der sozialen Marktwirtschaft keine Statusgarantie. Wenn die Mieten in der Innenstadt unerschwinglich werden, muss man entweder sein Einkommen massiv steigern oder nach Brandenburg umziehen.

Die ärmsten zehn Prozent der Deutschen müssen mittlerweile 40 Prozent des Einkommens für Miete zahlen. Die oberen zehn Prozent sind dank steigender Immopreise seit 2011 um Billionen reicher geworden. Irre.

Andreas Aust: „Arme Familien sind hoffnungslos abgehängt“
Seit mehreren Jahren entwickelt sich nunmehr die Wirtschaft in Deutschland ausgesprochen positiv. Auch die Beschäftigung nimmt zu und die offene Erwerbslosigkeit nimmt ab. Infolgedessen müsste eigentlich auch die Armut abnehmen, weil mehr Menschen bezahlter Erwerbsarbeit nachgehen. Dies passiert aber nicht. Die Armut in Deutschland nimmt im Gegenteil zu.

The US has a role to play in the escalating Hong Kong crisis – as a moderating force
– Washington is not the ‘black hand’ Beijing believes it to be. But neither should it wash its hands of the crisis, as Trump has apparently done
– However limited its role, the US should be urging restraint on all sides and highlighting the credible repercussions beyond Hong Kong of any crackdown
US delays tariffs as China, US trade negotiators hold phone call
The US has delayed the imposition of a 10 percent tariff on significant portions of Chinese imports until December 15 as top negotiators from the two countries spoke by phone for the first time since US President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on $300 billion worth of Chinese imports.
Our Intelligence has informed us that the Chinese Government is moving troops to the Border with Hong Kong. Everyone should be calm and safe!
China must pick the least bad option to resolve Hong Kong crisis. A PLA crackdown is not it
– Hongkongers would almost certainly treat Chinese government forces as invaders, and resistance would be fierce and casualties unavoidable
– An exodus of expats and elites would follow, and the Hong Kong economy – still a bridge between China the rest of the world – would almost immediately collapse

Pepper spray and arrests as Hong Kong riot police stage ‘rescue’ during airport sit-in protest
For over three hours, the man was surrounded by protesters in Terminal 1 after they accused of being an undercover agent from mainland China.
Suspicions were raised after a message on Telegram messenger was shared that appeared to identify him as a public security officer – a charge he denied.
He was chased down and briefly attacked as several airport security officers sought to protect him.
Paramedics arrived to treat him after he appeared to faint at 10pm but were unable to take him away from angry crowds who demanded to see identification and the contents of his phone.
The man claimed he was simply seeing friends off at the airport.
China takes its gloves off: Riot police storm Hong Kong airport and fire pepper spray into protesters‘ faces during violent clashes after a Chinese man was tied and beaten up ‚for being an undercover agent‘
It comes after Hong Kong police admitted the previous day that they had deployed undercover officers among pro-democracy demonstrators, potentially causing paranoia among protesters on Tuesday who attacked two different people suspecting them of being spies.
