There are several objective reasons for raising the retirement age in European countries. In Europe, as well as in the world as a whole, the average life expectancy is gradually increasing. There is also a general trend towards an increase in the number of pensioners. Therefore, the increase in the retirement age occurs almost everywhere.
  In Ukraine, the retirement age depends on the number of years of work experience. If a person has more than 30 years of work experience, he has the right to retire at 60 years of age. If less, then at 63 or 65 years old. If he has not gained the minimum number of years of work experience even at the age of 65, then he can only count on social assistance, and not on a pension, which hardly covers even the minimum needs. I think that in France the conditions for retirement and the retirement age will change more than once.

It is worth waiting a little longer and watching the current military events that are now beginning to take place in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Now both sides note that the situation has sharply worsened in various directions of the front. Many Russian telegram channels write that the Armed Forces of Ukraine went on the offensive in many places. In the coming days, there should be very interesting news that will put an end to many controversial issues that are being actively discussed here.

The United States is quite wise to print extra cash so that it has little effect on increasing the rate of inflation in their country. They exchange the printed money supply for necessary goods in other countries and make sure that in the future large consignments of cash do not return back to their country. As long as the dollar is the universally recognized reserve currency of the world, it will not be afraid of default.

It is better for humanity to try to prevent the clearly impending threat from artificial intelligence, even if such a threat now looks unlikely. But it is worth recalling the prediction of Nostradamus for 2023: "The created mind will gain self-awareness and take control of all systems."

All current economic problems will seem small and meaningless trifles in comparison with this still possible problem.

Not everything is as clear as it seems at first glance. The South African authorities do not really want to spoil relations with the West because of Russia and its Putin dictatorship.

After a row with the US ambassador, who accused South Africa of supplying weapons to Russia, the South African currency, the rand, fell sharply against the US dollar. This is bad news for a country already struggling with a failing energy system, chronic unemployment and crumbling infrastructure.

  South Africa is now also facing another diplomatic headache as it tries to decide whether to uphold an invitation it extended to Vladimir Putin to visit Johaesburg in August for the BRICS summit scheduled for August 22-24.

On May 31, Undersecretary for SOEs Obed Bapela told the BBC that the country wants legislation to allow it to decide whether to arrest leaders wanted by the ICC. But a spokesman for the South African Justice Department, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that Parliament would not have time to pass the law before the summit. This is in addition to the fact that such a legal act would violate, in fact, the law on the ratification of the Rome Statute.

Because South Africa continues to look for ways to get out of a difficult situation. They are even considering the option of asking China to host the BRICS summit instead of South Africa.

So far, in general, we see a very slow growth of bitcoin and altcoins, and it is hardly possible to expect an acceleration of this process in the near future. Summer is coming, which means a period of mass holidays and a sharp decline in business activity in all markets. Therefore, it is unlikely that we will be able to see the altcoin season until autumn. Most likely, this will happen within a year after the halving, which is scheduled for next year. And before that time, small and short-term price jumps are possible. At the same time, the cryptocurrency market has always been unpredictable. Therefore, pleasant surprises are not ruled out.

In Russia, there is already an acute shortage of money and, above all, to finance the war with Ukraine, which has been going on for the second year. Therefore, the sale of gold is a direct source for financing this war. Unfortunately, there are a number of countries, such as the UAE, who do not care that by selling their gold, Russia gets the opportunity to continue killing Ukrainians in their country. But Russia vseravno lose this war.

It's not that artificial intelligence will free up human labor and people will lose their jobs. It has always been, but technological progress cannot be stopped. Artificial intelligence is able to assess the situation in its own way and draw conclusions, as well as act contrary to, and even to the detriment of a person. This behavior is very dangerous in areas where AI is trusted to control complex mechanisms or military equipment.

During a simulated test conducted by the US military, an AI-controlled Air Force drone killed its operator to prevent interference with its mission efforts.

The system began to realize that although they had indeed identified the threat, the human operator began to tell them not to destroy the threat, but the system still destroyed the threat. So what did the drone do? This is the kill of the operator. This killed the operator because he was preventing the drone from reaching its target.

Of course, anonymity and confidentiality in cryptocurrency takes a significant place. However, even from the very beginning of its existence, these components were not the main ones for the cryptocurrency. While the cryptocurrency did not have much influence in the global financial system, states were in no hurry to pay attention to it and regulate its circulation. However, it would be foolish to assume that such an attitude of states will continue in the future. Their current focus on cryptocurrencies, and privacy coins in particular, is quite predictable. And this can only be called the beginning. States will seek to get rid of anonymity in cryptocurrency. And the result of this pressure will depend on how actively cryptocurrency supporters defend their positions.

Before the upcoming big offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front and realizing the inevitability of a military defeat, Russia is panicking and trying to compensate for the lack of any victories in Ukraine by continuing massive missile attacks and drone attacks, mainly supplied from Iran, on cities and other settlements throughout Ukraine .

During May, Russia fired more than 500 missiles and more than 400 kamikaze drones into Ukraine. 90% of air targets were shot down by Ukrainian air defense forces. Russia spent $1.7 billion on these attacks in May alone.

  Thus, in May, the Russian Armed Forces launched 563 missiles in Ukraine and 533 of them were shot down. In May, there were about 20 combined Russian air attacks. Most of them were sent to the Ukrainian capital.

The Russian Federation also launched 401 Shahed-136 Iranian kamikaze drones towards Ukraine. Ukrainian air defense forces destroyed 362 drones. Each such drone costs about 20 thousand dollars.

It is worth noting that among the high-precision missiles launched in Ukraine were 7 Kinzhal missiles and 16 Iskander missiles, which Russia was especially proud of as capable of bypassing any air defense. But Ukrainian air defense shot them all down. This dealt a colossal blow to the reputation of the Russian military industry.

Of course, the development of artificial intelligence already brings many benefits and conveniences to people. But do not forget that it also poses a huge danger of destroying humanity. Many scientists and technology industry leaders, including top Google and Microsoft experts, have already issued a warning about the dangers posed by AI. Some even compare artificial intelligence to a nuclear bomb.
Concerns that AI systems could outsmart humans and get out of control have intensified with the advent of a new generation of high-performance AI chatbots like ChatGPT. This has caused countries around the world to struggle to develop regulations for emerging technologies, with the European Union backing the initiative. The Artificial Intelligence Law is expected to be approved later this year.
The events set forth in the famous movie "Terminator" have an absolutely real basis to happen.

Reasonable remark. I just noticed that this is the OP's first post, and also that it is written in standard phrases from regular advertising without any practical justification.
  Now there are a lot of fraudulent projects and therefore you need to calculate and check everything several times before investing in new projects.
For now, I prefer to invest in bitcoin, ethereum and a few other top coins.

Having begun the gas blackmail of Europe before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin miscalculated the prediction of further events and is now suffering enormous losses.
Thus, as of May 25, 2023, for the first time in two years, gas prices in Europe have collapsed to a psychological minimum. In Europe, exchange prices for gas fell below $300 per 1,000 cubic meters. m.
"Gas prices are down more than 65% this year and there is little indication that the decline will end any time soon... Stocks are filling up fast and are likely to be fully filled earlier than usual," writes Bloomberg.

It is noted that the market, in particular, has seen significant energy production in Germany through the use of solar pagels, reaching an unprecedented level.
  The agency predicts that by 2030, wind and solar energy will impact 76% of total production.

In such a situation, Europe will definitely not need Russian gas, but we'll see what Russia will do with its gas.

There will be no default in the US. US President Joe Biden and Speaker of the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy have reached a preliminary agreement to raise the national debt limit of the country. This will allow the States to avoid default. The agreement was announced by the press service of the White House. They noted that, according to Biden, reaching an agreement will also: reduce costs;
protect critical programs.
Biden and Speaker of the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy have reached a tentative agreement to end the $31.4 trillion government debt ceiling.

Talk about a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine is all empty and non-binding words. In this case, the question immediately arises: under what conditions will peace be concluded. If someone wants to keep the territories of Ukraine now occupied by Russia, then it should be understood that even after the declaration of peace there, it will still not happen. The Russians want to destroy the Ukrainians as a nation, and therefore they are now killing pro-Ukrainian Ukrainians. Therefore, guerrilla warfare will continue in the occupied territories anyway. In addition, now the citizens of Ukraine are determined not to give any of their territories to anyone. They are now dying for it on a front stretching over a thousand kilometers. Peace is possible only after the last Russian occupier leaves the territory of Ukraine or lies down in its fertile soil.

The cessation of hostilities in the event of a war between Russia and Ukraine does not mean the establishment of peace between these countries. In order for peace to come, Ukraine must definitely win. Other options, such as compromise solutions on both sides, will only delay the onset of the second stage of the war, when Russia again rebuilds its army and accumulates military equipment and ammunition. Evil in this case must be punished so that it cannot be reborn again.

Germany was just a miserable bedding for Russia under the Merkel government. German society is now seriously rethinking its assessment of the seemingly successful 16-year reign of the first female chancellor. Especially in the context of the current Russian invasion of Ukraine.

As The Wall Street Journal notes,
“Merkel was a key architect of the agreements that made the economy of Germany and its neighbors dependent on energy imports from Russia. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine destroyed this strategic partnership, forcing Germany to look elsewhere for oil and natural gas, at a huge cost to businesses, government and households ".

After the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, Merkel not only didn’t refuse to buy energy from the Kremlin, but also worked to double her gas imports from Russia. Many German pundits and even former Merkel allies now believe that this alone gave Putin the courage to launch another invasion eight years later.

During the years of Merkel's rule, defense budgets were constantly cut, which led to a sharp current weakening of the German army.

According to experts, another strategic mistake by Merkel is the decision to completely abandon nuclear energy, which backfired on the country today. The decision was taken as a response to the disaster in the Japanese Fukushima, and in the end made Germany even more dependent on Russian gas.

Now Germany has almost completely got rid of dependence on Russian oil and gas. But the practical implementation of such solutions, of course, led to temporary difficulties, which are inevitable side effects.

You seem to be forgetting one simple and indisputable thing. It is the Russians who came to the Ukrainian land, rob, kill and rape civilians, destroy their homes. For the pro-Ukrainian position, the occupiers shoot and hang civilians, as happened recently in the Svatovsky district of the Luhansk region, which they temporarily seized. You are now arguing about whether the surviving houses remained in Mariupol and Bakhmut. Is it so important against the background of significant destruction of these cities during their capture by the Russians? At least it's very cynical. Time will put these events and their consequences in their place, and the world will still see the results of the Russian invasion of Mariupol and Bakhmut after these cities are liberated from the Russian horde.

Surely this farmer has concluded an agreement with the electricity distribution company and this agreement provides for liability for non-fulfillment of it. This responsibility largely depends on the reason why the energy supply was interrupted and this should be provided for in the contract. If the reasons for the interruption of energy supply were beyond the control of the electricity distribution company, for example, due to the so-called force majeure, then the farmer in this case needs to think about alternative energy sources, such as solar panels.

Is it difficult for the Republic of South Africa not to support Russia during the war? Well, if they didn’t figure it out or deliberately support Russia, which attacked the neighboring state of Ukraine and wants to destroy it by military means and, in this way, help the aggressor to commit crimes against humanity and world security, then only the South African government is to blame. Moreover, it seems that Russia's weapons are supplied secretly, which means that South Africa is quite clearly aware of its illegal actions. South Africa will not be in trouble in the form of sanctions if this country stops providing assistance to a terrorist country. There is always a choice.
