The Red Count

Es zeigt auch, dass all die Versuche derjenigen, die das Gremium "wissenschaftlicher" machen wollten, letztlich komplett sinnlos war. Dieses war m.E. vorher klar, so dass es besser gewesen wäre, wenn gleich für das Recht jeder BuRe auf ihren eigenen Beraterkreis eingetreten worden wäre.

Of course, not with the current majority/president.

The money is always there. It is ultimately just entries in a database. The question is always about political majorities/will.

Yeah, but this is not the issue. The issue is that German politics has repeatedly pulled the stunt to exaggerate their future purchases, then get more workshare as a consequence and after the production lines were built, reduced the orders.

That is before we go into the history of technology theft

The obsession with payment is the real issue. The whole austerity mindset that is everywhere in German politics.

What you describe may be attitudes but in actions, it is always buy more American crap.

In the first one Germany may purchase but it will never be a partner. Probably for the second, too.

Why?

Because everybody in that project remembers what happened with the Eurofighter and Tornado and how Germany behaved there. That is also the reason of the mistrust of Dassault.

Workers' capital -pension funds - pushing for AI to replace workers is one of the exquisite ironies of the financialised welfare bargain

A Newsmax info graphic showing a pyramid of Western civilisation for which Judaism is the base, Christ and Christianity are the middle layers and "U.S.A" is the peak.

One serious issue for public understanding in Ireland and Europe is that, quite like Israel, we're cut off from quite how insane and degenerate right wing American political culture is because it's a forbidden topic for mainstream Western journalism.

Jeffrey Epstein Was Vladimir Putin's Wealth Manager, FBI Source Claimed in Newly Released Epstein Files Jeffrey Epstein managed money for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, among other powerful world leaders, one confidential source claimed in FBI testimony

As I keep saying, the Epstein story is an offshore finance story.

And offshore finance is about elite impunity: insistence on their wealth and their persons being protected by the law, but never being subject to the law.

It's the "Every man a King" fantasy made real.

china bad because of state surveillance

america good because of corporate surveillance that also gets wielded by the state

Ich kann Politiker:innen, die weiter auf der rechtsradikalen Plattform X aktiv sind, aber ein Verbot von Social Media für Jugendliche fordern, beim besten Willen nicht Ernst nehmen. Zumal das Verbot eine feige Variante ist, weil man sich nicht traut, die Plattformen ordentlich zu regulieren.

My latest for Liberal Currents. A substantial portion of conservatives want to be rich people in a poor country because it affords them a greater sense of hierarchy and power. We misunderstand that at our peril, but making it clear and not affording them the benefit of the doubt could save us.

Wenn du das alles willst, ist Proton eigentlich ganz gut. Aber mit Sicherheit nicht der günstigste Anbieter und manche der Apps wirken etwas rudimentär, insbesondere Drive und vor allem Calendar.

Without rupture, the systems won't be build that is the problem.

It hasn't changed, but I've seen so many people welcoming the "change in stance" - serious amount of wish-casting

No, they aren't. Lots of the European elite prefer being an American vassal state, even it means authoritarianism. Everything else terrifies them. They just don't know if and how they can get away with this in front of their voters or employees.

The NCBs had retail operations before. Granted no accounts (except for their employees).

How do you solve the problem that some people/institutions will be exclude from the banking system and therefore everyday life because they are on some arbitrary American sanctions list?

The continental suicide will continue until morale improves.

Yeah, it also increases the part of the seigniorage that goes to the state. In contrast to the development of the last 50 years where an ever increasing percentage of it has gone to the private banks (via credit creation) as bank notes have diminished in importance.

(Which btw. also totally discredits your argument that they have no expertise in it).

And why do employees of NCBs (such as the Bundesbank) have access to this secure money without credit risk while the general public is forced to bank with private banks.

And it isn't just Moscow. The whole FO has this issue.

I shit on Harvard & their business publishing arm a lot, but there are a few gems among their ranks if you sift through the muck enough. Sandel is definitely one of the gems. His book, The Tyranny of Merit, clarified & validated my own lifelong struggles w/ that tyranny. Really worthwhile long-read.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

By looking at the Labour party and the so-called Democratic "party" in the US over the last 10 years, I have become extremely aware how important internal party democracy is for a functioning democratic system. It is even a constitutional requirement in Germany.

All these supposedly important & very politically relevant but privately & for profit organised forums & summits like WEF in Davos or the upcoming Munich security summit are much much closer to what Epstein provided for the economical & political elites than it’s convenient for most journalists &

Spain's constitution promises democracy at work. Last year, @yolandadiaz.bsky.social convened an expert group to study how to make good on that promise.

Lead by @isabelleferreras.bsky.social, we have delivered what is, we think, the highest-level 400-page report on economic democracy out there. 1/2
