We are being robbed by major companies.
Many of us have noticed the contents of what we buy, not weighing what they are supposed to. So, I checked for myself.
I bought three cans of tuna. They are supposed to weigh 4 0z each, drained. So I drained the three cans, used a kitchen scale in oz. And verified that the scale was at zero.
Weighed the empty bowl, then poured the 3 drained cans of tuna into the bowl and subtracted the weight of the empty bowl. The contents were 8.1 oz for three cans. It was supposed to be 12oz.
The weight of the contents for each drained can was 2.7 oz, not the 4 oz, it was supposed to have. So, the weight of tbis tuna was short almost by one can.

Probably a good thing, since Belgium and the Netherlands score in the upper middle for rape in Europe.

The reason many of us loved her. According to her, she was an entertainer, not a politician.
Many of our entertainers could take a few lessons from her.

Music, produced by human music artists, might be replaced in the future by Ai.
This is the first completely AI-generated song to ever reach No. 1 on a Billboard chart.
It took the top spot on the Billboard Country Digital Song Sales Chart for two weeks in November, 2025.

This is a bill being introduced by Javier Milei, President of Argentina.
If the government cannot balance the budget, they don't get paid.
Milei choque le monde avec une première mondiale!
Désormais, si l'Etat entre en déficit et que ce déficit n'est pas résolu en quelques semaines, alors ne seront plus payés les salaires:
- du président
- des ministres
- des principaux fonctionnaires du pays
- des députés
- des sénateurs
Et toutes les dépenses non-essentielles de l'Etat seront purement et simplement gelées.
Une mesure forte, brutale mais tellement logique.
Avec ce système, les dirigeants et les bureaucrates n'auront plus le choix que de maintenir un budget à l'équilibre.
Il est temps qu'ils arrêtent de jouer avec notre argent et notre futur en nous endettant sans limites.

La mesure décrite est un projet de loi annoncé par le président Milei, qui doit encore être approuvé par le Congrès et n'est pas en vigueur. infobae.com/economia/2026/… nden.com.ar/nota/37558/mil…

Oh dear God. This is a crisis. It needs to be declared as a National Emergency.
Thousands of illegal migrants from Morocco and Algeria have just flooded the borders of Spain in Cueta. Forces overwhelmed and resources exhausted.
Is this invasion? How can this be allowed to happen?
In my opinion Pedro Sanchez needs to resign and in all honesty I believe be locked up for what has happened to the country.

I wonder if it has anything to do with this. Are they former inmates?
King Mohammed VI (Morocco) granted a royal pardon to 1,788 people for Throne Day (July 30), including 1,679 inmates. The Ministry of Justice announced it on July 29. Of those inmates, 1,668 had sentences remitted and 9 received full pardons for the rest of their terms.
