A grocery store in Pforzheim, Germany, published a job vacancy on Facebook. A reply reads: "It would be better if you hire Germans w/o migration background, otherwise my family won't shop with you anymore." The store's reply is something to behold. I append a translation. [Post & reply verified]

Wäre besser ihr stellt Deutsche ohne Migrationshintergrund ein ansonsten kauft meine Familie nicht mehr bei euch ein.

edekaberger Sehr geehrter Herr Kritter,

vielen Dank für Ihren aufschlussreichen Kommentar unter unserer Stellenanzeige. Offenbar ist uns bei unserer Personalpolitik ein schwerwiegender Fehler unterlaufen.

Wir müssen nämlich gestehen: Bei uns arbeiten tatsächlich Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund! Und jetzt halten Sie sich fest: Wir haben sie sogar ganz bewusst eingestellt!

Ohne Stammbaumprüfung, ohne Herkunftsnachweis und ohne zu kontrollieren, ob die Großeltern auch wirklich deutsch genug waren.

Wie konnten wir nur?!

Stattdessen haben wir auf völlig nebensächliche Dinge wie Qualifikation, Freundlichkeit, Zuverlässigkeit und Engagement geachtet.

Und es kommt noch schlimmer, Herr Kritter!

Unsere Mitarbeiter unterschiedlichster Nationalitäten arbeiten nicht nur miteinander, sie lachen, unterstützen sich gegenseitig und feiern sogar zusammen. Bei unserem letzten Mitarbeiterfest wurde neben bayerischer Musik auch zu Bollywood getanzt. Unfassbar, oder?

Nun kündigen Sie an, dass Ihre Familie deshalb nicht mehr bei uns einkaufen möchte.

Das trifft uns natürlich hart.

Wissen Sie aber, was uns tatsächlich hart treffen würde?

Wenn all unsere Mitarbeiter mit Migrationshintergrund plötzlich nicht mehr da wären. Dann könnten wir unsere Märkte nämlich gleich schließen!

Denn diese Menschen sind keine austauschbaren Arbeitskräfte, sondern ein unverzichtbarer Teil unseres Teams. Sie leisten jeden Tag großartige Arbeit und verdienen dafür Respekt statt Vorurteile!

Deshalb sagen wir Ihnen ganz deutlich:

Unsere Mitarbeiter sind keine Verhandlungsmasse. Menschenwürde ist keine Frage des Umsatzes. Und Rassismus hat bei uns keinen Platz!

Wir sind stolz auf unser internationales Team und werden ganz sicher niemanden wegen seiner Herkunft ausgrenzen, nur um einen Kunden zu halten.

Lieber verzichten wir auf Ihren Einkauf als auf unsere Werte.

Herzliche Grüße von einem Arbeitgeber, der auch weiterhin Menschen nach ihrem Können und Charakter beurteilt. Nicht nach ihrem Stammb…

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

It's legitimate for the EU, the UK, Canada and others to support their Ukrainian ally. If Musk is going to (in effect) assist Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine's allies should sanction Starlink, X and Tesla. At the very least, governments (and people) should stop using his fucking site already.

This is part of a methodology I’m going to call Fascist Edging. It’s deliberate, to move the Overton Window. It’s speculative. Can we go this far yet? What’s the backlash? From whom? Did anyone support/excuse? It’s seeding the idea. Get it talked about. Absorb the initial shock. Normalise.

Man who enobled a KGB agent's son... despite SIS raising concerns... says what?

This is just not true. As soon as I became
foreign secretary I asked the security
services the same question and they
replied that there was no evidence of any
successful interference in the 2016
referendum, by Russia or any other power

Either the security services have changed
their view - which would be very odd - or
Burnham is lying about what he has been
told. After all Starmer was in power for two
years and had access to exactly the same
information.

There's PLENTIFUL evidence that Russia interfered in the EU referendum. Most sensible people on both sides accept that as a fact. If Farage can counter this obvious truth then he should present his case to us all rather than grandstanding and lazily calling Burnham a "liar".
