Corona hatte ja auch tatsächlich Auswirkungen auf die reale Wirtschaft, z.B. indem China mehrere große Seehäfen zugemacht hat, nicht nur auf die Hirngespinste der Börsenspekulanten.
I don't remember where I read this, but I'll look around. It was just a half sentence in a larger article on his religious reforms. I only remembered it, because I found the idea funny.
Frederick the Great, despite being associated with military glory in the modern day
Throughout Germany, he's still known for his efforts for introducing the potato, which earned him the affectionate nickname of "Kartoffelkönig" - "potato king". (To this day, people still lay down potatoes at his grave)
Initially, people in Prussia, just as the French, wanted nothing to do with potatoes, thought of them as potentially poisonous and at best suitable as pig fodder. In order to overcome those misconceptions and superstitions, Frederick famously had soldiers guard potato fields, instructed them to only half arsedly pursue potato thieves so they could get away, and to allow people to bribe them to look the other way.
He also was a bit of a reformer and introduced ideas of enlightenment into his government. He for example introduced compulsory education for everyone (that was not out of pure altruism, though, because he wanted his soldiers to be able to read and write), and instituted religious freedom. (He asked all religions to have their sacred weekday on the same day, though, because he liked the thought of all religions in his realm worshiping their god on the same day)
Was machen diese Nasen, die ja offensichtlich eine soziale Politik wollen, überhaupt in der SPD?
Merken die nicht, dass sie da nicht mehr sind, als das rote Feigenblatt vor dem gigantischen, nach Sozialabbau stinkenden, neoliberalen Gemächt der SPD?
The "journalists" whose job it is to research the background of the story do blame the product and/or the seller.
Instead they could have done a public safety announcement about long hair and loose clothing in combination with rotating power tools. Apparently modern day society is in dire need of some education on the topic.
But they chose not to to jump on the China/Temu bad bandwagon. There are tons of things to criticise about both China and Temu, but a rotating power tool having the inherent dangers of rotating power tools isn't one of them. The low quality of Items sold on Temu might have even saved that stupid mother's poor child from a scalping injury, which more powerful tools are perfectly capable of inflicting.
The German president is merely a ceremonial figurehead, though. Pretty much akin to what constitutional monarchies have a king or queen for.
The few and little actual powers he has, he rarely exercises. Thanks to the way he is elected, he of course is a loyal card carrying member of one of the big parties, and won't really go against the general political agenda.
Die nächste Finanzmarktkrise ist eh schon lange überfällig, früher haben es die Spekulanten an den Börsen hingekriegt, alle 5 Jahre eine zu veranstalten.
Even with the more sophisticated targeting (we can thank technological progress for that), it's still using methods pioneered by Göbbels. For example retelling the same lie over and over again, until people start to believe it.
Usually they do things like internationally isolating their country, leading to economic problems and poverty due to lack of international trade, or even outright picking unwinnable fights with the rest of the world, leading to eventual, inevitable, and total defeat, additionally they will imprison and/or kill a large part of their own population.
What is destroying or severely damaging your own country (all while pretending you love it) and imprisoning and killing its people, if not treason?
The very same people who profit from the former, do also profit from the latter. Even more so, they will be able to profit from increasing poverty much longer, if enough policing powers ensure the impoverished part of the population can be subdued.
Der Montag ist der schlechteste Tag der Woche, der kann weg.
