[02:42]	nobody	unrelated, tracked the energy metering company which does energy billing in germany for heating and water (for a dozen millions of households)
[02:43]	nobody	this company sold shares to Chinese and Hong Kong investors in 2022 - weird construct, in my opionion
[02:44]	nobody	a company doing energy metering _only_, in germany _only_
[02:44]	nobody	year 2022 was by coincidence the one when the first excess miracle billing arrived (shortly before nord stream detonated)
[02:45]	nobody	remarkable detail being, the timing, and the accounting fraud, by someone who intentionally tampered the data
[02:45]	nobody	and now, i'm seeing Chinese and Hong Kong investor strings attached
[02:46]	nobody	someone was pulling strings behind the scenes, for massive scale systematic energy accounting fraud in germany
[02:48]	nobody	> new Berlin government after the election announced to expropriate appartment real estate from private owners
[02:49]	nobody	that's been city-owned real estate which Berlin senate itself decided to sell to investors, a decade ago
[02:50]	nobody	in Nrnberg here, unrelated to Berlin, i've seen two massive cold-rent hikes now +30% total (besides the energy accounting fraud)
[02:51]	nobody	that's aligned to "index rents", average rent estimates of the city, which increased that much
[02:54]	nobody	in Germany federal states got a mechanism among each other to "equalize finance"
[02:54]	nobody	Bavaria is a surplus payer into this, and Berlin the record recipient
[02:55]	nobody	now Berlin wants to re-acquire real-estate they've sold for cheap, wishing to buy it back with money they don't have
[02:55]	nobody	it's really difficult to know who's pulling which strings, some real-estate companies reside in New York for example, who manage investment funds of german real estate
[02:56]	nobody	lawful expropriation is regulated with compensations to be paid, yet how much according to which "index rent" that defines the "shareholder value"?
[02:57]	nobody	i'm nervous a bit, because of the short-term relative trends of price hikes
[02:58]	nobody	another interesting detail, as an East-German our income often is significantly LOWER than western

[03:01]	nobody	> recent Google stock exchange loss of 500billion is bigger than the former 2009 financial lehmann crisis (loose quote)
[03:03]	nobody	> European Central Bank chief Christine Lagarde announced her resignment February 2027 in advance, which was regularly scheduled for October 2027
[03:05]	nobody	> European Parliament/Commission(?) demands a planned budget increase of additional +50% for the next period (until year 2030)
[03:05]	nobody	that's interesting, because inflation hikes already did hit into appartment rents and energy pricing, _before_ the +50% was asked for by EU
[03:06]	nobody	does that mean they intend to inflate another +50% atop those 30% i've already seen in recent few years?
[03:07]	nobody	inflation is hitting dis-proportionally depending on income
[03:08]	nobody	as low-income the percentage spend for appartment-rent is higher
[03:08]	nobody	i'm hitting 63% already (including cold-rent, energy, water, internet)
[03:10]	nobody	probably more, because last year they asked for a further annual bonus-payment for maintenance costs (with accounting fraud)
[03:10]	nobody	i think that was another 350 "only"
[03:11]	nobody	electricity is separate, pricing is 60cents/kWh here, hitting 200 annual "bonus" once
[03:11]	nobody	last year it was less iirc
[03:12]	nobody	early february they're doing the annual accounting (the time when Lagarde planned her retirement in advance)
[03:12]	nobody	soaking another 550 bonus with accounting fraud each year, that's nothing
[03:13]	nobody	due to this i signed up for legal insurance (appartment rentiers protection), that's another 100/year gone in case i have to fight a legal battle i could not afford a lawyer without an insurance
[03:14]	nobody	i think however, the "non-profit" organization should have arranged for a mass-complaint at court, bundling complaints of hundreds of thousands
[03:15]	nobody	the metering service (that was sold to chinese investors by german politicians i guess), was and is known for tampering arbitrary "metering fees"
[03:18]	nobody	at first glance it seems to be marginal amounts of money, it isn't
[03:19]	nobody	the most trivial aggregate data for Germany i got: 60cents/kWh electricity on my account
[03:20]	nobody	montly income (without appartment rent) is ~500
[03:21]	nobody	politics argue, that's "not competitive"
[03:22]	nobody	because there was "no incentive to work"
[03:26]	nobody	in USA "industrial energy pricing" is distinguished, at 7cents/kWH
[03:26]	nobody	don't know what private households pay
[03:29]	nobody	seems roughly 15cents/kWh (USD)
[03:34]	nobody	"electricity price in China is CNY 0.532 per kWh or USD 0.080" March 2026; 8cents/kWh, in the middle in between close to US
[03:35]	nobody	> Viessman heat-pump manufacturer accquired 5% FC Bavaria Munich Soccer club shares worth 250Million 
[03:36]	nobody	just curious who was pulling the strings behind the scences
[03:36]	nobody	cold-rent was hiked by Munich, metering was hiked by nrw federal state elsewhere
[03:38]	nobody	a common sense among them all seems "pro EU" for their "green new deal"
