Yeah I only just saw the times on the graph of OP. That’s strange indeed.

I just wanted to say, if I planned to retire then that would have been f’ing scary. It played out ok in the end. But trusting that when literally your life’s savings are at stake is a big ask

I’m curious, doesn’t WhatsApp require a phone number to be attached to an account? As in, I thought activating it doesn’t work on devices without a SIM card?

It’s a first step. One thing this will (hopefully) provide is more accurate data on exactly how much wealth is being hoarded. The current data is being assumed to be underestimating the actual numbers

That headline had me confused a bit before I realised it’s about stuff originating from Kazakhstan

Yeah I remember reading about it. This is probably a step in the right direction without having looked at all the details

Stopping the wealth accumulation at the top through taxes on property above a threshold.

And, supplementary:

Stopping tax evasion by implementing a global tax cooperative so nations can stop competing in a downward race on tax rates

Nono you see only with a strong man a woman is free to be a real woman! Free to look pretty, get pregnant, make the house tidy and cook delicious food. The things women enjoy!

/s Just in case I wasn’t being over the top enough to make this obvious sarcasm a

South Korea has one of the worst reproduction rates of the world, caused by women deciding to not choose a man to spend their life with but to live their own life. Which apparently causes men to freak out and go conservative

Dingos would hunt at packice holes if they had access to them?

I think protesting against the vote of the average Joe in a way that affects the average Joe is quite valid. The politicians got voted for their policies, they wouldn’t be doing their jobs if they just shifted their whole position because of a protests that are expressing quite old ideas. The average Joe has to stand up and vote for people that actually want the change we need.

The pressure regarding queer rights was successful because it became a less and less favourable position to be against those same rights in the public view. Being conservative regarding fighting the climate change is still a pretty favourable position so not enough pressure can be built by protests against politicians alone.

And, one aspect that is overlooked in the discussion, at least in my opinion: People are allowed to be angry at the state of the world and the popular opinions, and express that anger publicly and in the face of the general public. This is a valid thing to do.

Maybe I missed it but it seems the average Joe voted for people that are responsible for what’s going on right now instead of trying to change direction drastically right?

Didn’t Munich famously switch back to windows?

That’s not really true. Without some fragmentation there is no need for standards

The long term strategy is to destabilise the CDU by forcing them into unfavorable coalitions. Which they have probably achieved this time. If the CDU looks bad enough in 5 years the AfD might get enough votes so that no government can be built without them

Sometimes though a judge has decided that it is factually correct to call the leader of a party a fascist because he is one

The problem with this specific law is that it isn’t practically enforceable. You’d need to regularly search people entering this zone, which we will certainly not do.

Law’s only matter if you can expect them to be enforced. Raising prices is easily enforced (because it would be done via taxes which are checked for correctness already).

Ey, hasch du au a Lizens für des Messerle?

That’s still suggesting they are worth less than other humans based on their opinions
