  • The rules for driving demand to keep at least enough distance to the vehicle before you, that you can safely perform an emergency break, if the vehicle should do so too.

    In driving ed i learned that you need to keep at least 2seconds distance to the car in front of you, one second to react and one second to perform a similiar break maneuver like them. If your vehicle is heavier you need to increase that distance.

    Whenever i drove like this the only result was people taking it as an invitation to swear in between the car in front of me and me. I want undercover cops in plain cars to just drive and record everyone violating the safe distance or takeing the space that is left as safe distance. We could resolve muncipal debt and drop the amount of deadly accidents by at least 50% this way.

  • Russia’s economy is now completely driven by the war in Ukraine – it cannot afford to lose, but nor can it afford to win

    Jump

  • Ukraine has a lot of fertile land. With climate change Ukraine becomes more valuable to stabilize food supply. Prices for farm land in Ukraine have been increasing sharply, even during the war.

    In geostrategic terms, controlling Ukraine allows Russia to double the controlled area of the Black Sea coast.

    Both aspects significantly increase the dependency of Europe and many Asian and African countries on trade under Russian control. Ukraines pre war agricultural exports show great opportunities to increase Russian influence, particularly in countries already relying heavily on food imports and being strongly vulnerable to climate change.

  • If you win the war, you can get a lot in return. That is why countries do it. Permanent access to ressources, people, strategic locations...

    The difficulty is switching back though. That's why it is so dangerous. Getting locked in a war economy requires to attack ever new targets, deepening the hole.

  • Palestinians Sue German Government Officials for Enabling the Genocide in Gaza [At German prosecutors]

    Jump

  • That is just factually wrong. The legal definition, as is in the UN convention on the prevention of genocide defines "in whole or in part". If you watch the trial the judges repeat it multiple times and show why they see the case by South Africa as plausible

  • Police beatings of pro-Palestinian schoolchildren spark outrage in Italy

    Jump

  • This is unfortunately not just an incident in Italy. As the moral and political doubt about the crimes of Israel and the complicity of many western governments is diwndling, opression of protests is increasing. We see it in San Francisco, New York, London, Berlin and now in Italy too.

    The governments that keep supporting Israels gruesome crimes against the Palestinians revert to often brutal opression of democratic protests. It cannot be what must not be. The lip service of months of "reminding" Israel of its humanitarian obligations is nothing more than that. Weapons and funding are sent to Israel to continue. UNRWA is attacked based on Israeli claims that remain without any evidence presented. And the protestors who call it out are beaten in the streets.

  • You already posted this absurd whataboutism take under the German article i linked. On my requests for claritfication on the points you made, you didn't answer of course. Despite you claiming that Israel would have only received 20 Million € by Germany, when it was 300 Million €. Also you claimed that Iran selling weapons to Russia would have something to do with it, ignoring that Israel also sold drones to Russia that are in use in the war in Ukraine.

    Iran is neither responsible for Israel attacks on civillians, nor is it responsible for the full blockade of Gaza nor is it responsible for the genocidal intent that was shown in statements by Israeli officials. Statements by the Presiden, Prime minister, head of parliament, head of military that even the ICJ called out explicitly in its ruling on preliminary measures.

    Not even the Israeli defense made such absurd claims like you, that Iran would be responsible for Israels actions in Gaza.

    It is particularly shameful that Germans want to follow the "the other side made me do it" narrative of Israel in its genocidal actions. We full well know this narrative from the German history.

  • Germany legalises cannabis, but makes it hard to buy

  • I mean in practice the key question will be, whether "my neighbour grows weed, i've seen a plant in the window" will still be probable cause for a search warrant or not.

    If it won't be, then you'd be good realistically.

  • When asked about the chancellors position on Taurus systems in a press conference on wednesday, his speaker Hebestreit proceeded to not answer the question, while claiming multiple times he had already answered it.

    When journalists asked again he insulted them, saying that his answers would be clear and that this would be 9th grade language comprehension. When journalists continued to ask he insulted them again saying, "i was unjust to the 9th graders, maybe this is 11th grade language comprehension."

  • Frankfurt to host new EU anti-money laundering agency

    Jump

  • No, it is much more systematic than that.

    When it comes to typical money laundering or tax evasion businesses like restaurants the tax investigators can be very throughout. That goes as far calculating how much fryer oil was bought vs. how many fried dishes were declared to be sold.

    What we instead see is huge issues with buying and selling properties. Not only does it remain legal against all common sense to buy them in cash and without any declaration about the moneys origin, in many places the "tough on crime, we need to fight the arab gangster families" conservatives forbid the people at the land register to report fish property deals.

    Now the current government with a neoliberal finance minister pushed for austerity politics. The biggest cut in the sector of the finance ministry were tax and money laundering investigators, whose budget was cut by half.

    Meanwhile property investment companies became the largest donors to political parties, exceeding energy companys in the past decade. They know the sector is riddled with crime and they know that their best customers are organized criminals. Someone who needs to launder millions of drug and prostitution money is not going to haggle over the last 10% of the price.

  • France backs UK as banking mecca, denying Germany win in Brexit surprise

    Jump

  • Where we are againt at the point that these changes dont happen over night, as there is oportunity costs associated with moving.

    until 1940 London was a the centre of a global empire, albeit a dying one. Then when the last remains of the empire died off, the EU predeccessory came and Thatchers violent neoliberalization to safe London as a finance hub.

    But unless we see another push like Thatchers, that this time would basically need to enslave the average Britain to the markets, i don't see how London will keep itself afloat in the long run.

  • France backs UK as banking mecca, denying Germany win in Brexit surprise

    Jump

  • At the time London was the capital of a global empire. I do not see any structural reasons, aside from legacy convenience, why London should remain more relevant than an EU financial hub in the long run.

    The currency is only relevant in the UK, the market power is weak compared to the EU or US, access to qualified workers is getting more difficult since Brexit...

  • France backs UK as banking mecca, denying Germany win in Brexit surprise

    Jump

  • One of the main benefits of London was its easy access to the European market, combined with the British privileges.

    If you read the article the theme of the disagreement also seems to most revolve around animosity between France and Germany. But there is no reason to believe that the UK can profit of this indefinetly.

    So on what basis would you assume the UK finance sector to remain relevant to European business in the long run and it being taken over by an EU city being "a complete fantasy"? Given your assertiveness you surely must have an in depth knowledge you could share.

  • I hope it takes a few years until the next attempt. Unfortunately the enemies of privacy and other civil rights are very enduring in their attempts.

    It remains worrying that so many politicians are happy to jump in front of that wagon and pull it under some pretense of wanting to fight crime. You don't need to be tech literate to understand that hiding a key under the rug opens your door to criminals just as much as it opens it to law enforcement.

  • EU urged to stop Meta offering an ad-free subscription service in the EU

    And if they enforced it, it would have been a sustainable business model.
