That is the German name for flea markets. It’s when people sell old stuff they don’t want or need anymore in their garden/some square/the street.

Guess the creators are Germans…

Don’t get me wrong, fuck Jeff Bezos’ pampered ass. But growing a giant dystopian mega corp out of 250k is kind of impressive.

I know quite a few privileged people with more money than that and every chance in life one could hope for. None of them would be able to achieve anything close to what he did. They simply aren’t ruthless and megalomaniacal enough.

They wouldn’t have to shoot up in the streets if SF still had the safe injection sites up. People who shoot up in the streets do so mostly because they want to get found if they OD.

Making it illegal to be high won’t make addicts want to stop getting high, it will just push them into dark corners where they die when they OD. Imo that’s way more unacceptable.

Für mich hat das nicht zwingend was mit Bildung zu tun. Ist zwar nur anekdotisch aber in meinem Umfeld gibt es genauso viele Akademiker wie weniger gebildete Menschen die auf Populisten wie Söder, Merz und alles rechts davon reinfallen.

Meine Deutung ist, dass sich viele Leute mit der aktuellen Situation überfordert fühlen, sie sind unsicher, haben Angst oder sind wütend. In so einer Drucksituation wünschen sie sich einfache und schnelle Lösungen und ignorieren oft komplexere, unangenehme oder langfristigere Ansätze.

Ein Rattenfänger wie Söder, der mit einfachen, aber oft sehr kurzfristig gedachten Lösungsansätzen um sich schmeißt tut sich deshalb bei diesen Leuten leichter.

Das heißt nicht dass Söder die Sachlage nicht versteht. Ich bin mir sogar sehr sicher dass er sie sehr gut versteht. Er weiß aber auch, dass seine Wähler keine nuancierte Betrachtung des Problems wollen. Wer Angst hat oder wütend ist will einfach nur eine Lösung.

Hinzu kommt noch dass diese Wähler meist selbst keine Einschränkungen in ihren Lebensstil haben wollen. Da viele von Habecks Ideen mit persönlichen Einschränkungen verbunden sind, ist er auch deshalb deutlich unbeliebter. Söder hingegen schreit permanent nach mehr, da ist nie von Einschränkungen die Rede. Außer bei Migranten und Drogen und das betrifft seine Wähler nicht.

TLDR: Ängste, ohnmächtige Wut, Unsicherheiten und Egoismus sind Schwachstellen die von Populisten ausgenutzt werden. Diese Ängste mögen in bildungsfernen Schichten auf Grund einer schlechteren sozioökonomischen Lage weiter verbreitet sein, Bildung macht jedoch lange nicht immun.

I know, but no one cares who’s responsible at the moment. What people care about is that they read a new article about Boeings planes endangering passengers every 3 days. So while Delta is most likely at fault, Boeing is gonna take the hit to the company image. That’s why I was specifically speaking about the Boeing PR team. Those guys and the crisis managers won’t be able to catch a break for a loooong time.

What they do right is having a duopoly with Airbus, and great military contracts. So investors know that even if things are shit rn, they will probably get better again.

Furthermore, while I agree that Boeing probably will not go bankrupt over this, the valuation sometimes is not a great indicator of what’s going on internally. Enron was worth over 60 billion. Half a year later they were at zero. Now I’m not saying Boeing is nearly that bad, but they are in some trouble for sure.

Working for Boeings PR department must be absolute madness right now… imagine having to somehow excuse all those fuck ups and every week there is a new one

Feels like I’ve been reading headlines like this for at least 3 years now. If it all finally comes crashing down, it’s gonna be a big one I guess.

You misread. They got scammed into paying 10$ shipping for a supposedly free product that will never arrive.

Most carmakers get heavily subsidized. All the German ones for example. It’s a big industry and states like to keep their brands competitive.

Man is almost 70 and still jogging and shooting homeless people while filming it! Must have been a wild life.

Mate, it’s a little too easy to just blame foreign agents and idiots for all this mess. The radicalization process of the GOP has been going on for decades, the social divide has been widening and the US media is doing its part to stir the pot. Sure, Russian trolls played a part in whipping up the frenzy, but the main problem is a home made one, of unchecked capitalism without any regard for whom it might hurt. Without it, trolls wouldn’t have anything to feed on. Happy, well educated people don’t fall for that shit.

US have been living on a policy of fuck you, got mine for decades. It’s a political, cultural and economical problem and it wasn’t invented by foreign agents, it’s home made. People are desperate, uneducated and feeling disenfranchised. If you present them an easy answer and act like you hear their problems, they’re gonna love you for it. A president like Trump was just a matter of when, not if. Blaming stupid people and foreigners won’t fix shit.

Also, it’s quite ironic that you have so many spelling mistakes, in a paragraph making fun of people for not being able to spell empathy…
