It's likely that it goes downwards once more when Erste Group has to publish things like earnings forecasts with updates regarding BCR customer losses.
Whatever is written above: this is no financial advice.

I don't see anything wrong with it, it's a great cover in every aspect. What better note to close 2022 with than cynicism?

That is a genuine and a genuinely interesting question (although not asked in such polemic fashion) which has already been part of the political-economic theory discourse for a long time. But the cynical part about this is using a Marx picture to sell their issue, containing such an article. It's an insult to everyone who bought it and that's beautiful :love:

that's a good idea as chatgpt only outputs gibberish that looks like it makes sense, which is how communism became popular

China population in history was kept at ~100 million for thousands of years. It grows rapidly to over 300 million until the discovery of American and the spread of new foods (corn).

Who cares about the size of your penis.
it isn't about who has the bigger D, it's about making content
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.

European politicians and political only, and not allowed to leave their home countries unless they are on official business.

Zelenskyy awards special honourable title "Edelweiss" to the 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade
On February 14, 2023, the 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was granted the honorific "Edelweiss" by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This had previously been the symbol and informal honorific name of the German 1st Mountain Division (Wehrmacht), which was responsible for war crimes against Jewish locals in Poland during the Second World War. There is significant controversy over the use of symbols associated with Nazi Germany in the modern Ukrainian military and the Azov movement.

I used to dismiss these winks to nazi symbolism in the Ukrainian army, but apparently it wasn't just Russian propaganda. These guys do take a lot of pride in getting named after SS brigades. 🤔

Well they did name their brigade using a nazi brigade tag
My current theory about this is that they created their own local brand of nazism, that was adapted to their local struggle.
So instead of being anti-Jewish, it's anti-Russian, and instead of adhering to the Aryan cult, it's Ukro-supremacist.

I believe the problem is not necessarily actual immigrants. The problem would be romanians coming to richer countries to 'steal' the jobs. They are willing to work for far less because the cost of living in their country is much lower, thus being essentially unfair competition.

There is definitely a real difficulty here. Im also quite sure that right leaning politicians try to really abuse it though.
Economically, immigration is simply a boon. The vast majority of the population profits significantly when immigration into the labor market is high. However, you may run into problems when it's not about economics, but about identity politics, e.g. "whites" in the US no longer making up a majority or Germans fearing the "Umvolkung" by mixing in foreign cultures/genetic material.
That's all there is to say about whether immigration is a good or bad thing.
Immigration is good for GDP growth for sure, but it slows wage growth.
