Because technology is already utilised to constantly increase productivity and growth. Then that growth/productivity flows directly into the pocket of the sub 1%, barely taxed at all. But that's not something they would ever talk about.
What they want to talk about instead is how workes with their stagnating wages, who also have to finance everything as wages is basically the only thing taxed properly, need to do more to keep the system they intentionally broke to enrich themselves alive.
Das klingt zwar schön eingängig aber entspricht nicht der Wahrheit.
Weder in den USA noch hier muss man Medien durch politisches Handeln "auf Spur bringen". Die machen das alle völlig freiwillig und selbstständig auf der Jagd nach der einzigen verbliebenen Wahrheit, den Klicks, oder im Auftrag ihrer -vollkommen neutralen und unparteiischen- Eigentümer.
Und spätestens, wenn selbige Medien, dann jeden Widerstand in Bildungsinstitutionen wiedermal als Wahnsinn der verwirrten Jugend framen, erledigt sich das auch ganz schnell.
"[...] “perverse” and “Stalinist” approach to social control, adding: “It is an encroachment on civil liberties, and it is a page out of the East Germany playbook. With the 15-minute city, you will have to, in effect, apply for an internal passport to go and visit your granny."
That's nothing new. Fossil fuel funded desinformation and their not-less-desinformation-loving right-wing friends have a long history of telling the fairy tale of 15-min cities as a kind of population control.
It's all based on the basic premise that car-brains can't understand that "you cannot go there freely by car" is not the same as "you cannot go there freely at all". So when you tell them that you can only drive somewhere a limited number of times per year before paying a fee for using their car, their brain-damage automatically translates it to "I'm not allowed to go there anymore".
PS: Bringing the "East-German playbook" into this story makes it even more absurd, given the (non-)availability of cars and thus the quality of public transport in the ex-GDR. But that's another thing car-brains can't understand, so they will not see the problem.
And shown on the picture is yet another pseudo electric motorcycle abomination of a fat bike instead of an actual average ebike to make the argument look sane.
Und wieder 'nen Zehner verdient, weil ich gewettet habe, dass es nach dem neuen Berliner Polizeigesetz, das massenhafte Erfassung von Kennzeichen und generell Auswertung aller Datne mit KI erlaubt, nur Wochen dauern wird, bis zur ersten Forderung nach massenhafter Kameraüberwachung mit KI-Auswertung unter einem Vorwand.
Ich weiß nur noch nicht, ob ich mich freue, dass es völlig offensichtlich ist, wo die Reise hingehen soll, oder mich darüber aufrege, dass Korruption Lobbyismus in Deutschland trotzdem verhindert, dass man irgendetwas gegen den offensichtlichen Wahnsinn tun kann.
Yeah, that's a very popular story. Interestingly the voices of actual NATO allies working with German soldiers are usually the exact opposite of the media and political narratives.
No, proper storage amounts and planable long-term contracts are needed, so there is enough to sustain while existing manufacturing capacities are upscaled.
Instead we get bullshit actionism.
And in a few years we probably have replaced a lot of soldiers with barely enough ammunition for a few weeks with much more soldiers and ammunition for 2 days. Because actually sane decisions are not flashy enough to impress stupid voters or the media they consume.
All while having wasted billions on shiny new stuff in irrelevant numbers, infrastructure for conscripts not actually needed, and big symbolic projects, simply because idiots are prioritising short-term bullshit to impress morons to get their votes in a few years again.
But loudly talking about building a massive army is so much easier (and more effective to get approval) than actually managing the logistics needed to make the existing army work properly. The old saying that there is no glory in prevention is sadly true for military deterrence, too.
Oh no, big country at war has more active soldiers than small countries at peace! Who would have thought?
Oh, and those small EU countries combined already have a bigger army than Russia, massive reserves obviously not counted because ... again ... they are not at war. And yes, we are also speaking about actually well trained and equiped soldiers, not Russian standards.
So they are already running out of ressources to keep pumping that insane bubble and now need Europe to subscribe to their mass delusion, too?
Maybe provide AI-based solution for actual problems instead of trying to invent and reframe problems your AI can solve, all just because you are dependent on AI being the one and only future of tech and somehow magically being able to do all the things you hallucinate soon™.
Und die nächste Maßnahme, um Ärzteüberlastung durch zusätzliche erzwungene Arztbesuche zu verringern.
Ist das noch Satire oder schon anhaltender Wahnsinn?
