Ich habe ein Buch darüber geschrieben, was es für die (liberale) Demokratie bedeutet, wenn es immer weniger liberale Demokraten gibt. Es geht darin auch um Elon Musk. droemer-knaur.de/buch/mark-s…

These: Die Bundesregierung ist als ‚Konzept‘ unpopulär.
Egal, wer regierte, die Bürgerinnen und Bürger wären unzufrieden.
Gründe? Multiple Krisen, denen man mit „sympathischen“ und einfachen Lösungen nicht habhaft wird?
Unrealistische Ansätze erleben indes Zuspruch…

So wirklich klar wird mir nicht, wo das Problem ist. Wäre es besser, wenn er sich einen Bürostuhl auf die Terrasse gestellt hätte? Dieses bisschen Exzentrik finde ich sogar ganz sympathisch. Und es ist ja auch ein Verweis auf Amthors Wurzeln in Meck-Pomm. welt.de/politik/deutschland/…

Der @JohWinkel will die Schröderschen Reformen rückabwickeln...
Zurück zum alten Grundsicherungssystem vor #HartzIV: steuerfinanzierte Sozialhilfe und Arbeitslosenhilfe auf der einen Seite, das Arbeitslosengeld als Versicherungsleistung auf der anderen...
Nur zu... Warum nicht?
„Ist es eigentlich okay, dass zwei Leute gleich viel Sozialleistungen bekommen und der eine hat vorher noch nie was eingezahlt?“, fragte Winkel. Seine Forderung: „Es sollten diejenigen weniger bekommen, die vorher nicht eingezahlt haben.“ @johwinkel im „Ronzheimer.“-Podcast.

Stelter, Sie wissen ganz genau, dass Deutschlands Strukturkrise nicht 2021 mit Robert Habeck aus dem Ei geschlüpft ist. Exportverluste seit 2017, jahrzehntelanger Investitionsstau, Demografie, Bürokratie, verschlafene Digitalisierung, Autoindustrie im China-Schock und eine von Vorgängerregierungen aufgebaute Abhängigkeit von billigem russischem Gas.
Man kann Habeck für konkrete Fehlentscheidungen kritisieren. Aber diesen historischen Problemberg kurzerhand zum Werk eines Ministers umzuschreiben und ihn dann gönnerhaft als „Verursacher“ vorzuführen, ist intellektuell derart billig, dass man sich fragt, wozu der Doktortitel vor dem Namen eigentlich noch dienen soll.
Mich macht diese Unredlichkeit, diese völlig offenkundige Agitprop, nur noch wütend.
In Zeiten einer auch von ihm 👇 verursachten Strukturkrise mit massiver Deindustrialisierung,Verlust hoch bezahlter Arbeitsplätze und zerstörter Wettbewerbsfähigkeit diskutiert man mit Verursachern der Krise über Wohlfühlthemen, statt über Sanierungsprogramm. Es ist so traurig.

great reporting from wsj
Kimberly Guilfoyle has puzzled government officials across the region with her extensive efforts to involve Christos Marafatsos, a 39-year-old former produce seller turned Greeks for Trump chairman.
Marafatsos has attended so many of her meetings that some foreign officials mistook him for her chief of staff. Instead, he’s a top lobbyist for a company she’s been promoting—a fact he often doesn’t disclose, including in meetings with government officials.

Video shows Kimberly Guilfoyle, US ambassador to Greece and former fiancee of Trump Jr. meeting privately with the leaders of Romania's Social Democratic Party on March 31st, in a Bucharest hotel.
Just 6 Days later, the Social Democrats allied with the pro-Russian extremists from AUR and filled the motion that collapsed the Romanian government led by PM Bolojan, which strongly opposed purchasing US gas at above market prices.
In a WSJ article yesterday, sources present at a meeting between a Greek minister and Guilfoyle stated she bragged about having collapsed the RO government for its refusal to buy US gas, warning the US can do the same in Greece.
US Ambassador to Greece and former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, admitted in an interview for a Greek publication that the US was behind the collapse of the Romanian government because of its refusal to purchase US gas at above-market prices.

What?
Breaking: US company Meta has, without explanation, disabled Lula’s Instagram and Facebook profiles’ ability to run ads, 10 days from election.
The President’s campaign has complained and threatened legal action, citing this as another example of US interference and manipulation.

In his book Collapse, Jared Diamond studied a dozen societies across thousands of years, from the Maya to the Vikings, to answer one question: why do great civilizations fall? What he found wasn't drought, war or bad luck. None of those were ever enough on their own. The one thing present in every collapse was how the people at the top responded to what was happening below them.
The warning sign he found again and again was leaders who were completely insulated from the pain of ordinary people. When the powerful never feel the consequences, they stop seeing the problem, and when they stop seeing it, they stop fixing it. The Maya kings kept enriching themselves and building monuments while the farmers who fed them went hungry. Their civilization didn't fall because of one bad year. It fell because the people in charge had stopped living in the same world as everyone else.
Diamond called them "distant managers." They are the people in power who live so far from the damage that they are the last to understand how bad it has gotten. By the time they notice, the fields are already empty.
His most important finding was that collapse is a choice. Every society that fell had leaders who could have changed course and chose not to. The question for us is whether we will keep letting people who can't see us make that choice for us. Because we are there folks.

Worth reading.
I started fact-checking Donald Trump 10 years ago this month. Here are 15 thoughts on the nature of his lying, how it is received by the public and how it is covered by the media: cnn.com/2026/09/27/politics/…

Die USA stürzen wieder auslaendische Regierungen, diesmal sind es unsere Regierungen
This is an extraordinary story of extortion and hypocrisy.
The U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle — a close Trump ally and former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. — admitted that the United States helped bring down governments that stood in its way.
During a private dinner in Athens, while discussing the collapse of Romania’s government, Guilfoyle said: “We can do this to any country we want. We can do it here too.”
The Greek energy minister pushed back, saying the United States cannot simply replace a government elected by the people.
Guilfoyle insisted that they have already done this in Romania.
On March 31, Guilfoyle met privately in Bucharest with senior Romanian Social Democratic officials. The discussion included the Vertical Gas Corridor and energy cooperation.
Weeks later, the Social Democrats joined the pro-russian AUR party in a no-confidence vote that brought down Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan’s government. Bolojan had resisted a proposed arrangement involving expensive U.S. gas imports.
So, according to Guilfoyle, Trump administration engineered the collapse of Romania’s government in a clear extortion attempt. And to do so, they have collaborated with a far left party - the communists as MAGA calls them.
Anyone who still has any illusion that MAGA is a “conservative movement” needs a serious reality check.

The chief economist at Apollo is warning that mass adoption of AI agents could trigger a bank run as they optimize user investments. Gary Gensler spent his last few years as SEC chair warning that the exact same problem will hit the markets: the pursuit of algorithmic perfection at scale destroys system stability. Personal-finance agents making simultaneous optimal decisions could potentially cause a massive flash crash.
Agent acausal coordination, with no messages passed between them, will show up in a lot of places. Markets will get the big headlines, but huge numbers of clever advisors making very similar choices will impact all of human society. Capability gains make this worse, not better. The smarter the agents, the narrower the optimal path; and knowing that other agents see that exact same path lets them move together without talking to each other. Agents do not need to collude to act in unison. Thus, they break no human laws by doing so. Human laws were not written for this. They were not written for a lot of what is coming, and it is about to start happening very fast.

Genau das ist die Lage
Es gibt effektiv 59.000 vollziehbar ausreisepflichtige ohne Duldung, im übrigen auch nicht immer die gleichen. Die Zahlen steigen, wenn Verfahren bearbeitet werden. Monatlich verlassen 4.700 (!) Ausreisepflichtige Deutschland, davon 60% ohne Abschiebung. Eine Verdopplung zu 2021!

Inwiefern meinst du Gießkanne? Es landet zumindest mal bei den Menschen / Betrieben, die viel tanken. Das ist doch einigermaßen zielgenau.
Wenn man der Meinung ist, dass man entlasten möchte und dass die Reduktion auf die Preise wirkt.
