On Tuesday, Sébastien Lecornu announced a rise in the ceiling of the Livret A, today 22,950 euros, “to between 25,000 and 30,000 euros”. Under Brut’s video, 12,700 people reacted in eight hours. “My Livret A: 5 €”, wrote one. “We would need to be able to save, to begin with”, answered another, approved 4,600 times. A third did the sums: a savings book at 1.7% when inflation is at 3.4%.
“My Livret A: 5 €”
The barrel, for its part, went back up on Tuesday after the American strikes on the island of Qeshm, at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz: Monday’s fall lasted only a day. At the pump, the 12 to 18 cents off diesel are still holding. For how long?
California and its billionaires
In California, voters said no overnight to Proposition 40: a 5% tax on the state’s 250 billionaires, unique in the world, to fund hospitals, rejected after a tense vote, reports La Tribune. A ceiling raised for those who reach it, a tax refused to those who will never see a billion: between the two, where is your account?
