This Is Not My Planet Anymore

Now they’re attacking Tesla. Itself.

Did someone finally give the German media Brain Police a wake-up pill?
Or are they finally figuring out where the real danger (and exploitable fear) lies?
A German dilemma: Everybody here knows what everybody here is really worried about but the only ones openly saying it are the evil “Nazi” AfD party. It’s called painting yourself into a corner.
Germans fear migration more than climate change, study finds – Europeans — especially Germans — are increasingly keen on curbing immigration and are less focused on climate change, according to a study by a Danish-based think tank.
German of the day: Schrumpfen
That means to shrink.
German Industrial Production Falls for First Time This Year – March measure falls 0.4%; economist est. 0.7% decrease.
Backup German of the day: Stagnieren. That means to stagnate.
We deceived for the greater good
Because our ideology said we could.
Green deception isn’t like normal deception. It’s cleaner. And renewable.
German ministers quizzed over nuclear phase out ‘deception’ – A political magazine alleged that the Economy Ministry hid expert advice supporting the extension of Germany’s remaining nuclear power plants. Two ministers defended their decision to a parliamentary committee.
Cicero magazine reported a day earlier that officials from the environmentally friendly Green Party had acted in a “deceptive” manner by ignoring expert advice and seeking to proceed with the phase-out of nuclear energy, which had been planned since 2011…
Habeck’s viewpoint conflicted with advice from experts who said that nuclear power could help save the use of gas and avoid a power crisis, just as Germany was trying to cut its dependence on Russian energy.
In a word, “no”
Or nein, if you prefer.
Another Green daydream comes to its inevitable end. Sheesh. German Greens don’t even know what country they live in.
Germany’s Autobahn — finally time for a speed limit?
The majority of Germans want a motorway speed limit, and environmental groups say it would help cut emissions. But are their arguments strong enough to convince those opposed to slower speeds on the Autobahn?
PS: A limit of 120 MILES per hour (image) might fly, but I doubt it.
Germans asked to stop being so naive
Germans reply by saying “What do you mean?”
“Just because we’re uncritical, unquestioning and easily taken in doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re naive. It worked with Russia, didn’t it?”
German spy agency warns companies against being too “naive” on China – Germany’s domestic spy agency told companies on Wednesday they should be on guard against industrial espionage by Beijing, warning them not to be naive or over-reliant on China.
The warning from the agency’s deputy head Sinan Selen came days after three German nationals were arrested on suspicion of handing over technology with military applications – a case which has highlighted mounting anxiety across Western Europe about Chinese spying.
German of the day: Da ist nichts zu lachen
That means that’s nothing to laugh about.
Although, actually…
Car sharing driver overturns – laughing gas in the car!
Serious accident at night in Berlin-Wilmersdorf! A car-sharing car crashed into several parked cars and left a field of debris in its wake.
I don’t think Indian students deserve this
They didn’t do anything wrong.
Why can’t we just learn to live in peace?
Germany targets Indian students to address labor shortages – Germany looks to tap into international student talent to keep its engineering and IT sectors afloat.
Germany is grappling with a critical labor shortage and aging population, with projections indicating a deficit of seven million skilled workers by 2035.
With some 700,000 vacancies currently unfilled, Germany’s economic growth potential has dropped to about 0.7% now from around 2% in the 1980s, and is set to fall further to 0.5% if the country fails to resolve this problem, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck has said, stressing the importance of migration in bridging this widening gap.
Engaging Germany’s Indian student population in the workforce may be part of the solution.
Spring is in the air!
I love the smell of CO2 in the morning.
