I got two letters from a local hospital the other day: One was an eye-popping bill for a procedure (small thing) I had done recently. The other letter asked for donations to the hospital group. Ain't healthcare in America grand?

The United Kingdom has finally gotten round to sanctioning the RU crypto payments platform Cryptomus, aka Xeltox Enterprises, Certa Payments and more recently Heleket.

After our story in 2024 detailing how dozens of cryptocurrency exchanges were using Cryptomus to turn their funds into cash at RU banks, and how dozens of these sketchy money transfer businesses were located at the same address in British Columbia, Canada fined Cryptomus/Xeltox a record $176 million for money laundering violations.

Une délégation de lycéen·nes a été reçue par la directrice ajointe des services académiques et le sous préfet.

Extrait de leur compte-rendu :

" A propos de la forme qu’a pris ce débat, il est important de noter que tous les lycéens levaient la main et parlaient brièvement chacun leur tour afin de s’assurer d’une répartition de la parole la plus égalitaire possible, tandis que M. ** et Mme *** coupaient la parole pour intervenir plusieurs minutes, parfois sans laisser terminer ceux qui s’exprimaient. A cette situation nous avons suggéré qu’ils lèvent également la main, ce dont Mme *** s’est esclaffée en décrétant « [qu’elle] n’était plus à l’école ». "
