Och wieso? Eine von und zu habe ich auch erstmal im Verdacht, nur Steuern optimieren zu wollen. Ich bekomme auch ständig Videos wie “ab wann lohnt sich die Stiftung” in meinen YouTube-Feed rein. Heutzutage gehe ich davon aus, dass es ein paar tatsächlich wohltätige Stiftungen gibt und der ganze Rest unsere gesellschaftlichen Regeln zu ihrem nutzen missbrauchen.
Now isn’t that a missed opportunity. I wonder how the world would have shaped up if that guy hadn’t wriggled out of service, gone to Vietnam and bought the farm.
Come to think of it though, I doubt anyone would have let him anywhere near real weapons. Honest work in some backwater part of the logistics train might have done him some good though.
I think a significant number of states will now want to develop their own nuclear weapons. The US has been teaching people for the last 20 years that there is a significant difference in how they will treat countries that have the bomb like North Korea and those that haven’t, like Irak, Iran, Afganistan, Denmark and other NATO countries.
NATO countries I believe will mostly ralley around the UK and France. But even among them, in the medium run, I believe there might be some wanting their own. Turkey has just recently announced a missile that basically only makes sense as a nuklear weapon.
The rules based international relations was something making countries believe they don’t need nuclear weapons of their own. This premise doesn’t hold in the same way anymore. We’ll probably end up with 30-40 countries with nuclear weapons.
Dunno, the Patriot-in-Chief has his minions sell a phone with an American flag missing some stripes. Details, eh?
(Not a lawyer, just someone who has to stick their noses in laws way more than I care for) In Germany we have two sorts of persons defined in law: juristic persons and natural persons. There are lots of rights only natural persons have, like voting. Juristic persons are a legal invention to enable organisations like corporations to take a side in contracts and similar stuff.
Sometimes it seems good to live somewhere where nerds thought of regulating this kind of thing way ahead of time. Current tradition has them since 1900. A Google search just told me though that this construct was part of Roman law (makes sense, German civil war is modelled on the French Code Civil which was modelled on Roman law…).
I’m assuming the Chinese did a little psychological test and Trump turned out to be the little bastard without self control that eat the cookie while he thought noone was looking.
That’s what frustrates me about most of history. History books talk about glorious leaders and their conquests and all I see is “Gangs of New York” writ large. And conquests are to me just organised armed robbery, organised at such a scale that people are given uniforms.
Essentially only modern rule based international politics elevated war over gang turf quarrels. It’s a shame it’s in the process of being abandoned.
I see where your confusion comes from. You think you have a pancake there =)
To me that looks more like a Austrian Kaiserschmarrn. Delicious, but how are you supposed to put a spread on that and roll it up?
Though your point stands that pancakes are just close approximations of proper crêpe. =)
Hasn’t always worked. Otherwise intel would have died in the 80s and Microslop would never have made it big.
Germany also had a ton of oil based central heating. Most of those systems are going to transition to wood pellet heating. Maybe a little also to heat pumps. But common wisdom currently still is that heat pumps require suitably built houses to make sense. I wonder how much if that is just fossile fuel propaganda and how much is technically true.
Würde sagen zu knapp mehr als einem Jahr verknacken. Dann sollte auch die Pension weg sein.
Wahlbetrug ist die größte Sünde in einer Demokratie. Das muss hart bestraft werden, gerade in einem Land wie Bayern. Law and Order und so.
“was ist der Unterschied zwischen einem Millionär und einem Milliardär? - Ziemlich genau eine Milliarde”
Der einfache Millionär ist fast schon Mittelschicht. Leute, die mit einem Partner zusammen auf 4k bis 5k kommen halte ich für obere Arbeiterklasse, nicht Mittelschicht.
Ich weiss nicht, ob die sich bewusst sind, wie gut 3k-4k bereits sind…
Ich bin erstaunt, dass die so ein Essay in der FAZ schreiben durfte. Edit: brauche wohl eine Brille. Das war in der taz, nicht FAZ.
