[00:00]	nobody	they're accounting for 1100/month, but soak 700 of this for rent and mentioned energy billing
[00:00]	nobody	then say, that's "generous", "too expensive"
[00:01]	nobody	the little tobacco i'm smoking, that's taxed again
[00:01]	nobody	a box of Marlboro, 10 (just for the record, that's not my brand)
[00:01]	nobody	inter-city railway tickets are that expensive, i didn't bother anymore to check the prices at least
[00:02]	nobody	a hotel stay, impossible
[00:02]	nobody	eating in a restaurant, impossible
[00:02]	nobody	for decades
[00:03]	nobody	since 1990, officially USA are my allies, too Russian are
[00:03]	nobody	but that's changing each few years, who allies were or weren't
[00:04]	nobody	in germany here, it's considered social security, generous
[00:05]	nobody	yet whenever labor union church party politics are confronted with their own policies
[00:05]	nobody	all of the sudden they invent special exceptions for themselves, because they're the "hard working people"
[00:05]	nobody	if your labor union church member, you're hard-working, otherwise you aren't
[00:06]	nobody	this sums up inner-german politics in a nut-shell
[00:06]	nobody	it's merely coincidence former GDR population wasn't labor union church member of the western republic
[00:06]	nobody	hence these type of politics didn't attract that many voters in "east germany"
[00:07]	nobody	except, if tampered energy bills were sent onto my account
[00:08]	nobody	recently, "christian conservatives" from the old republic (west-germany) threatened east-germany with "unity anti-trust"
[00:08]	nobody	if voters and politics and east-germany didn't behave, they would send delegates from western party politics to dicatete policies
[00:08]	nobody	*in
[00:09]	nobody	this is what they did in 1990s anyway, hijacking all leadership positions in former GDR, placing their loyal minions into government offices, universities etc
[00:09]	nobody	with some good intentions maybe, but more than 30years later?
[00:10]	nobody	as a former east-german socialized i'm living in bavaria nowadays
[00:10]	nobody	it's a different country, a different culture
[00:10]	nobody	it's a _foreign_ country
[00:11]	nobody	although some places in bavaria were welcoming, the general political doctrine is prevalent everywhere
[00:11]	nobody	can't be some east-german sub-human was educated above standard... let's tamper his files at employment agency
[00:12]	nobody	dis-credit and dis-qualify, next step mental condition re-evaluated
[00:12]	nobody	this one
[00:12]	nobody	in general, i think the "victorious" western system over-estimated their abilities
[00:12]	nobody	they've been arrogant and ignorant
[00:13]	nobody	for that matter, Leipzig university is among the oldest in germany, and among the oldest globally
[00:13]	nobody	it's merely coincidence this one was jailed behind iron curtain for 40years
[00:13]	nobody	doesn't mean we've forgotten everything there
[00:13]	nobody	and i certainly won't forget what happened since 1990s
[00:14]	nobody	what's considered "unity", "democracy", "freedom", "constitutional state", "law and order", you name it
[00:15]	nobody	in 1990, the major promise was a constitutional state, Rechtsstaat, a guarantee for a legal system in place to trust
[00:15]	nobody	politicians and labor unions and churches may not arbitrarily behave in ignorance to laws
[00:16]	nobody	for me, individually, that's the most sever promise that was violated since 1990s
[00:16]	nobody	they've sabotaged the legal system, up into highest realm of EU politics
[00:16]	nobody	with each opportunity, for bargain
[00:17]	nobody	in this context, the energy accounting fraud is just of symbolic nature
[00:17]	nobody	it's just some evidence they can't hide anymore
[00:17]	nobody	and it's the thing which backfires now, because fraud and lies don't provide energy
[00:18]	nobody	so, who was giving the order to detonate Nord Stream?
[00:18]	nobody	and why?
[00:20]	nobody	i was whining about this endlessly before, years ago
[00:20]	nobody	noone listened
[00:21]	nobody	now they're setting oil refineries and pipelines in russia and saudi-arabia on fire
[00:21]	nobody	ahead of elections of cause
[00:22]	nobody	they're detonating commodity storage in russia (which supply frozen pizza and jeans to grocery stores there)
[00:25]	nobody	i'm only asking myself, if 700/month are soaked from 1100, isn't that enough taxes paid?
[00:25]	nobody	and then energy and water inflated 10fold... while consumption was cut down 95% here that's not enough still?
[00:26]	nobody	iran insists still, i shall pay even more so? since the saudi pipe blew up, straits of hormus might open?
[00:26]	nobody	but then again, most of those supplies ship to china and india
[00:26]	nobody	what should i pay for even more so?
[00:27]	nobody	and even if, i couldn't
[00:27]	nobody	then politics twisted this, let's bring in more immigrants from iran, iraq, afghanistan wherever the world all over
[00:28]	nobody	yet what i see here, then energy consumption increases, with demands which can't be fulfilled anymore
[00:28]	nobody	either a barrel is shipped to china or india or consumed in wherever, that it's not available here
[00:28]	nobody	all i can say, i've only received the bill, nothing else
[00:29]	nobody	i'm not at least paid for my work, because reasons, no labor union church member
[00:29]	nobody	which qualifies as unproductive parasite hence, subject to evaluation of psychological condition
[00:30]	nobody	"it's good for climate change", that's the argument made by "democrats" here
[00:30]	nobody	yet we've had just another record heat wave this summer, even when my consumptio was cut down orders of magnitude
[00:31]	nobody	Trump AfD argue dfor anti-climate - you know, there's the typical pro and anti
[00:31]	nobody	nonsense and anti-nonsense
[00:32]	nobody	AfD wants to re-establish supplies of "cheap russian gas"... which one?
[00:32]	nobody	the one that was accounted for with fraudulent bills?
[00:33]	nobody	i tend to think, russia couldn't supply, even if they wanted to
[00:33]	nobody	they've too connected yet another pipeline to china, you know, because labor is much cheaper there
[00:33]	nobody	is it?
[00:33]	nobody	VW sales in decline there
[00:34]	nobody	they've accounted 4000kWh heating here, sorry to repeat that, but i consumed less than 1000kWh, entire year (not per month!)
[00:35]	nobody	official LNG pricing was ~10cents/kWh, i spare you the trivial maths of that, it's orders of magnitude, give or take
[00:35]	nobody	a 10fold discrepancy in the accounting, the colon shifted by accident
[00:36]	nobody	and they're doing the same with income, shifting the colon, into another direction in this case
[00:36]	nobody	because less is more in this case
[00:36]	nobody	the accounting is totally rigged, you couldn't compare anything with anyone
[00:37]	nobody	then they've tampered my employment file, effectively all my work and results are wiped there
[00:37]	nobody	it never existed
[00:37]	nobody	now they wonder germany and russia close down their general embassies each
[00:38]	nobody	and even more "social reforms" ahead, just in case i got sick, and couldn't report instantly
[00:39]	nobody	that's considered a violation of some "cooperation plan" this russian-named woman in german employment agency noted into
[00:39]	nobody	i got no more words for this
[00:40]	nobody	maybe those people mistake my honesty for stupidity? they couldn't imagine anymore i would cheat and lie and extort and oppress with each opportunity?
[00:40]	nobody	*would not
[00:40]	nobody	and now there's war escalating over such nonsense
[00:42]	nobody	our Blackrock Capital CEO head of governmen chancellor, his supporting this type of "social security"
[00:42]	nobody	*he is
[00:42]	nobody	he wants another "reform", it's been to lax he said
[00:43]	nobody	as a university professor he wants to sustain on a monthly paycheck of 400, for decades
[00:43]	nobody	give or take, normalized for inflation
[00:43]	nobody	and it's not competitive against china either, because their annual GDP that's ~$14000
[00:43]	nobody	so, let's outsource even more there
[00:44]	nobody	but then again i had to shed some light again onto Telekom University
[00:44]	nobody	science council finally had forbidden Telekom to operate their own university in private
[00:44]	nobody	year 2023
[00:44]	nobody	now they must operate under supervision of the regular public university system in saxony
[00:45]	nobody	yet don't ask me who insisted to label me "unqualified", "uneducated"
[00:45]	nobody	out of nowhere, year 2025, i was considered for hiring in thuringia for a half a year
[00:46]	nobody	without salary nor contracting, that's the cheapest way of doing it
[00:46]	nobody	this is what finally will attract me to ever again cooperate with these type of government criminals here
[00:47]	nobody	i'll probably never will find out, who's who and who was pulling which string
[00:47]	nobody	in the end however, there's war now

[01:50]	nobody	with the energy accounting fraud, simplified speaking, it's been 4 barrels accounted when there was no more than 1 in existence
[01:51]	nobody	problem is, printing money, igniting war and conflict, detonating pipelines and refinerie
[01:51]	nobody	s
[01:51]	nobody	none of this helps if there wasn't no 4 barrels
[01:52]	nobody	it's been on paper only, because here in germany they taxed this with carbon tax and eco tax and vat
[01:52]	nobody	they quadrupled taxation, on non-existing energy, which btw. didn't provide any either
[01:52]	nobody	and it didn't stop climate change
[01:53]	nobody	in germany that's been labeled "climate factor" or "climate multiplier"
[01:54]	nobody	accounting quadruple the real amount that existed
[01:54]	nobody	they quadruple double upped this imaginary barrel 10fold already
[01:54]	nobody	accounting fraud won't supply 10barrels, guns won't, pipelines won't
[01:55]	nobody	if there's nothing, nothing can be supplied, nor sold, nor paid for, nor consumed, nor taxed
[01:55]	nobody	for whichever justice
[01:56]	nobody	i've said this, 2022 already, the accounting must be corrected first, so politics and industry know how much energy/oil/gas really exists
[01:56]	nobody	accounting fraud doesn't fix "climate" either, but here they justified accounting fraud with climate policy
[01:56]	nobody	which is nonsense, total nonsense
[01:57]	nobody	it's the same with water accounting, that's off-scale 10fold too
[01:57]		*FANTOM (~fantom@freenode-0vl.t8a.dd37p8.IP) has joined #techrights
[01:57]	nobody	don't ask me why they tampered this too, in germany we've had no shortage of water
[01:57]	nobody	it's merely money laundring in this case, for no good either
[01:58]	nobody	although they say in politics, water is scarce elsewhere, accounting fraud won't fix that
[01:59]	nobody	of cause, i do appreciate clean tap water supply in germany, and i am willing to pay for it
[01:59]	nobody	but i do not accept fraudulent accounting of it
● Sep 19
[02:00]	nobody	it's a little less obvious on the bill, because cold water is not measured individually, but for the entire appartment block
[02:00]	nobody	so they merely stamp some arbitray amount of money onto the bill, and i've had to check on the internet what the water price of this city is
[02:01]	nobody	i've supposedly consumed 100000liters each year, it's more than 10fold the amount i really consumed
[02:01]	nobody	given the official price tag
[02:02]	nobody	there's more official data on this, who knows what, 100liters per day per citizen
[02:02]	nobody	i don't consume that much, never
[02:03]	nobody	then again the whole social-ecological debate escalates again, in politics and tv, based upon fraudulent accounting
[02:05]	nobody	saudi arabia announced to terminate oil supplies to europe in october, planned outage for 4 weeks
[02:05]	nobody	yet, what would i know, all i got is tampered data
[02:05]	nobody	they'll probably seek to negotiate again, based upon this
[02:06]	nobody	all i got to offer is sending the tampered bills of theirs back to them
[02:06]	nobody	that's all i got from them
[02:07]	nobody	now politics here argue they merely had to cut down taxation on gasoline, to lower price
[02:07]	nobody	but this won't help, whichever price, if there's no oils supply, you can't buy it nor burn it or whatever
[02:08]	nobody	that's the suspicion i have, if contracts existed between suppliers and consumers, those contracts imply compensation of damages
[02:08]	nobody	if the supplier can't deliver what was promised, or if the consumer doesn't buy what was contracted, this had to be compensated
[02:09]	nobody	however, if pipelines detonated as an act of war, all such claims are void, no insurance paid, no compensation, nothing
[02:09]	nobody	maybe saudis and iran just didn't have the amounts of oil that they contracted? same with russia?
[02:09]	nobody	it's been imaginary amounts on paper? notable amounts.
[02:10]	nobody	sorry, our pipeline is broken, straits of hormus closed, we want more money... for what?
[02:10]	nobody	yet another fraudulent bill?
[02:11]	nobody	so that's no real negotation, they've all had to announce real data first.
[02:12]	nobody	in EU, they've taxed non-existent energy, quadruple. if EU announced they didn't consume that much, carbon taxation shrinked.
[02:12]	nobody	that's the twist here.
[02:13]	nobody	the twist on the side of oil suppliers (russia, saudis, iran), if they could not deliver the contracted/announced amounts
[02:13]	nobody	what light would this shed onto them?
[02:13]		*IsambardPrince has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[02:13]	nobody	too USA promised to germany to supply LNG... which one? how much?
[02:13]	nobody	and what's the prize? $100/gallon gasoline or what?
[02:15]	nobody	i suspect, politics and industry leaders had begun to belive their _own_ lies and fraud
[02:15]	nobody	with all their excel sheets and charts
[02:16]	nobody	1 + 1 = 100, decimal system... doesn't make sense, doesn't matter, more is better
[02:16]	nobody	that's the type of intellect involved
[02:16]	nobody	hiking up appartment rents won't fix that either
[02:17]	nobody	currently they report appartment rent offers for up to 25/m newly constructed
[02:18]	nobody	printing money won't fix housing crisis, won't fix energy crisis, won't fix financial crisis
[02:18]	nobody	and it's no "market" if that can't be negotiated but is dictated
[02:19]	nobody	it won't fix educational system either, given recent reports common level of education is in steady decline
[02:20]	nobody	if i was chancellor head of government for one day in germany, i would demand the accounting fraud was fixed first
[02:20]	nobody	to have available plausible data to make any reasonable decision
[02:20]	nobody	otherwise they're navigating blind, wishthinking barrels of oil which don't exist
[02:21]	nobody	it's neither cheap nor expensive, tampered data doesn't qualify anything
[02:21]	nobody	or what's the common average income nowadays in germany?
[02:21]	nobody	mine is 400/month plus whichever appartment rent is dictated
[02:23]	nobody	pardon what, that's how academic staff shall be attracted?
[02:23]	nobody	almost forget, i'm an unproductive stupid parasite according to government propaganda
[02:23]	nobody	that's why, our chancellor and his "christian democrats" insisted "further sanctions" are mandatory for the generous social security
[02:24]	nobody	because none of what i did was hard work ever
[02:25]	nobody	BlackRock Capital CEO, that is, F. Merz
[02:25]	nobody	creme de la creme of economic intellect at work, educated in germany
[02:25]	nobody	because if my income was lowered further, that made me more productive you know
[02:26]	nobody	i've seen three currencies come and go in germany
[02:26]	nobody	and i've seen several of these type of chancellors
[02:27]	nobody	to none of them it occured to ever, tampering data and opressing citizens won't fix any problems
[02:27]	nobody	they said i shall save on energy, so i did, for decades
[02:28]	nobody	no restaurant visits, no inter-city train ticket, no office space, no holiday travels, NOTHING
[02:28]	nobody	no car
[02:28]	nobody	but that's not my complaint, it's the most excessive accounting fraud and lies
[02:41]	nobody	another problem here, with nuclear power, it's not water scarcity mostly, but water temperature
[02:41]	nobody	in our natural water reservoirs, 19C max water temperature is what our fish are adapated to
[02:42]	nobody	if nuclear plants need cooling water and dump heat during summer, it's destroying our natural water reservoirs
[02:42]	nobody	that's the limiting factor of nuclear power in germany
[02:43]	nobody	i don't know all details, what the max permitted heat emission is at the water outflow of any power plant
[02:44]	nobody	i've heard there was regulations in USA too, with max 40C - which is completely off scale, and what Trump considers appropriate
[02:44]	nobody	such water inside natural reservoirs produces boiling fish soup
[02:45]	nobody	depends on where it's measured, if reservoirs mixed etc.
[02:45]	nobody	during summer, noone neads those amounts of process heat
[02:46]	nobody	france and this year too hungary had to throttle and shut down nuclear plants, again

[02:50]	nobody	this seems to be the most relevant detail, "climate science" rarely ever mentiones
[02:50]	nobody	we've had yet another record heat wave this summer, in germany
[02:50]	nobody	it's too much
[02:50]	TR News	Yesterday's Tux Machines bulletin is now ready! : http://news.tuxmachines.org/txt-archives/tuxmachines-2026-09-18.txt
[02:51]	nobody	even when we've shut down nuclear plants here, and import LNG and electricity
[02:51]	nobody	the recent proposal in politics, are heat-pumps and air-conditioning
[02:52]	nobody	which need even more energy, and emit even more heat at power plants
[02:52]	nobody	accounting raud won't fix this, some climate pseudo science won't
[02:53]	nobody	first i want to see the real emission data, before discussing any furthre "climate change" policies
[02:55]	nobody	we wouldn't have any energy crisis in Germany, if sane economic policies were applied
[02:55]	nobody	but that's never been the intention of those climate change policies, which sanctioned _low_ consumption and subsidized excess consumpution
[02:56]	nobody	this is the effect those policies had here
[02:56]	nobody	and another reason why all data got tampered
[02:57]	nobody	water, gas, electricity, too demographics and immigration data are not plausible
[02:57]	nobody	average income data, taxation data, all of it tampered and twisted for bargain
[02:58]	nobody	public health records, life expectency, suicide rates
[02:58]	nobody	there's some data rarely ever talked about
[02:59]	nobody	in particular the last mentioned, is among the first which totalitarian regimes silence voice about
[02:59]	nobody	in east-germany btw. suicide rates are much higher, on average - it's just an indicator, un-normalized
● Sep 19
[03:00]	nobody	1990s were brutal, don't ask me how many alcoholics dying at that time were accounted for
[03:01]	nobody	next sunday, "christian democrats" might be kicked out of federal parliament in a small german federal state, north-east
[03:02]	nobody	unpreceedd since the end of WW2, this political party is kicked out completely
[03:02]	nobody	the results are not announced yet
[03:02]	nobody	in this fedreal state it is two slightly pro-russian candidats competing for victory
[03:03]	nobody	there's too elections in russia soon, the first after the war in ukraine started in 2022
[03:04]	nobody	both russia and germany closed each others general embassies already
[03:04]	nobody	expelling diplomats
[03:05]	nobody	makes me wonder if a german federal state voted for pro-russian affiliated candidates next
[03:06]	nobody	would they want to build the wall again? because some federal states, east-germany in particular, seggregate?
[03:09]	nobody	it's dividing germany again, even within east-germany
[03:09]	nobody	the division isn't generational, it's not immigration related either, those merely interest with another criteria
[03:09]	nobody	which is political party labor union church membership
[03:10]	nobody	our political representatives, swear an oath to act in the interest of the entire german population
[03:10]	nobody	not particular interest groups of labor unions
[03:10]		*FANTOM has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds)
[03:11]	nobody	that's how, all of the sudden, out of nowhere, trumpist style agitation motivated voters
[03:11]	nobody	and this is what those "democratic" parties here didn't realize, themselves and their own kind weren't that many
[03:12]	nobody	and even if they tailored endless exceptions and bonuses for themselves, to circuumvent strict social security regulations
[03:12]	nobody	it's no use if high salaries costs thousands of jobs few years later
[03:13]	nobody	even labor union church voters know this, so they can't attract all of them either
[03:14]	nobody	and stricter social security, even more reforms, won't attract any voters too, because labor union church voters remained exempt most often
[03:14]	nobody	and in east germany they've had to find rather many unaware what the effect of those policies were
[03:14]	nobody	the elder generation barely realized, most of the youn population left east-germany

[03:16]	nobody	this isn't what their oth was, their oath is sworn to act in the interest of the entire population
[03:16]	nobody	*oath
[03:16]	nobody	it's no coincidence, some east german political agitation argued with "high treason"
[03:17]	nobody	some even wanted to jail Merkel, whatever to think of such emotional outcry
[03:18]	nobody	german constitution codifies anti-trust against seggregation too
[03:18]	nobody	in west-germany, christian democrats already argued they seeked to take such action, and send delegates of theirs to dicate policies into east-germany again
[03:19]	nobody	i couldn't care less, based upon which date would these people want to dicate policies?
[03:19]	nobody	*dictate
[03:19]	nobody	moment what, west-german christian "democrats" threaten with dictate?
[03:20]	nobody	it's real, they're loosing thousands of highly paid industry jobs each week there too now
[03:20]	nobody	because cheap russian gas wasn't that cheap or whatever, officially there isn't none
[03:21]	nobody	that's how they explain, their industry is hit, it's not western politic's fault, of cause not
[03:22]	nobody	i know inner-german politics down to microscopic bone narrow

[03:23]	nobody	interestingly, in a recent west-german community election, Volkswagen/VW district, the old "democratic" parties didn't suffer relevant losses
[03:24]	nobody	their market, that's China anyway
[03:24]	nobody	they'll close some EV manufacturing facility soon, in east germany
[03:26]	nobody	china was cited being a little nervous over energy supplies since recently
[03:26]	nobody	although, according to official propaganda here, EVs and solar panels were the economic booster at record height
[03:27]	nobody	based upon fraudulent data, as usual
[03:29]	nobody	it's important to be aware, it's _always_ been west-german political doctrine, which made those decisions
[03:30]	nobody	but they're playing blame game against east-germany again, as if a minority of who knows 15% of the population was relevant
[03:30]	nobody	it hasn't been in elections ever
[03:31]	nobody	the elder generation in east-germany got public retirement savings registered, over-proportional
[03:31]	nobody	because we've had less acadamics involved with politics and similar, more workers in industrial production
[03:32]	nobody	even when that wasn't high paid labor union staff, many did acquire state pension savings
[03:32]	nobody	nowadays, myself, is a total write-off, in essence they wipe all my work from the record
[03:32]	nobody	that's even cheaper
[03:33]	nobody	i got no relevant pension savings at all, not that i would care
[03:33]	nobody	but it's been intentional, this type of politics
[03:33]	nobody	west-germany instead, could afford five-fold the amount of corruption and lies, simply because they're five-fold the amount of population
[03:34]	nobody	doesn't mean they're five-fold productive
[03:34]	nobody	in former east-germany our commodity goods were made in gdr, nowadays it's all made in china
[03:34]	nobody	it's been western politics who made those decisions
[03:35]	nobody	35years after re-unification, war escalates in russia and ukraine
[03:35]	nobody	and i tend to think, most east-germans really do not want any war and conflict
[03:36]	nobody	salaries in east-germany are much lower too on average
[03:36]	nobody	yet most lower ranking field soldiers in germany army, that's east-germans, who guess what, shall fight in ukraine?
[03:36]	nobody	to benefit exactly whom?
[03:37]	nobody	whose idea must have been this?
[03:38]	nobody	our social "democrat" minister of defense had to issue an order, recently, don't know all details yet
[03:38]	nobody	who's supposed to sign up for what
[03:38]	nobody	to re-fuel west-german luxury cars driven by west-germans and their immigrant friends?
[03:39]	nobody	we've got much less immigrants in east-germany, for historical reasons, since we've joined this game in 1990 meanwhile the west followed different policies
[03:39]	nobody	then our west-german chancellor said, we've had to work even harder for even less income and later retirement age
[03:40]	nobody	to compensate for one or another financial discrepancy related to costs of immigration
[03:40]	nobody	but that's been west-german and EU policies
[03:42]	nobody	in saxony east-germany, politics implemented cost-savings, hire-and-fire for teachers, no state officials hired ("Beamte") which is university staff often
[03:42]	nobody	almost no immigration, only young people leaving, low rents, and indeed, saxony could present a balanced budget few years ago
[03:43]	nobody	and now a minority population which is aging dramatically due to low birth rates, shall bail out west-germany?
[03:43]	nobody	because west-germany had been so generous to us since 1990?
[03:43]	nobody	how should 15% of the population bail out all the others?
[03:44]	nobody	this Nord Stream pipeline, that terminated in mentioned north-east federal state where elections are scheduled for next sunday
[03:45]	nobody	the pro-russian candidates demand to re-activate cheap russian gas supplies
[03:45]	nobody	yet how, how should that work out, when three of four pipes detonated
[03:46]	nobody	recent west-german government too decided a major refinery should close (didn't follow latest state), and not process any more russian oil
[03:46]	nobody	that refinery is located in east-germany
[03:46]	nobody	with what would west-germans and their migrant friends now want to re-fuel their expensive BMW and Benz?
[03:47]	nobody	i've never been interested in these types of status symbols
[03:47]	nobody	but i am well aware who claimed high ranking status in society, and who received tampered energy bills for this
[03:48]	nobody	simple truth is, if cheap russian gas had been the one stamped onto my account, this never existed
[03:48]	nobody	i've only received fraudulent bills, but nothing in return
[03:48]	nobody	in east-germany, politics closed both eyes, it's been good for business and social justice and whatever
[03:49]	nobody	now they're whining like little childs in west-germany, gasoline prices hit $10/gallon almost
[03:50]	nobody	taxation in poland is much lower btw. so they're getting away with $6.50/gallon still
[03:50]	nobody	that's why many east-germans are roaming for fuel
[03:50]	nobody	no clue where theis 40% tax bonus arrived, i guess most of it is west-germany
[03:50]	nobody	there's just no plausible data available
[03:50]	nobody	who the suckers were
[03:51]	nobody	because, mostly west-german industry had greatly benefit from cheap russian gas supplies, and industrical electricity pricing alike
[03:51]	nobody	it's not been an issue
[03:52]	nobody	but their labor church union demands skyrocketed with each election
[03:52]	nobody	and too they've had to appease their giant migrant work force, with cars and cheap fuel
[03:52]	nobody	there's another important historical detail
[03:53]	nobody	because west-germany (not east) had official agreements with turky, italy etc. to welcome migrant workforce
[03:53]	nobody	but those agreements were terminted already, in 1970s, guess what, Oil crisis at that time
[03:53]	nobody	it's been a few hundred thousand immigrant workers until then
[03:54]	nobody	nowadays it's dozens of millions, which arrived _after_ the official workforce agreements were terminated with turky and italy etc.
[03:54]	nobody	so, what's been the legal basis for this?
[03:55]	nobody	the 1990 peace treaty for re-unification did not codify any agreement either, it's just considered "final settlement"
[03:55]	nobody	and all other migration policies were implemented thereafter, a posterio, by EU
[03:56]	nobody	migration crisis, housing crisis, energy crisis, that's all west-german politics responsibility
[03:57]	nobody	but they're blaming east-germany now
[03:58]	nobody	and west-germans claiming higher morale in their expensive luxury vehicles, heat pumps, their expensive homes, holiday travels, electric vehicles, solar panels
[03:58]	nobody	that's all luxuries any east german rarely ever could afford

[04:00]	nobody	then they argue with a supposed urban rural-area conflict
[04:01]	nobody	which is mis-guided too, because the conflict is between labor union church members and their intersts
[04:01]	nobody	and those who remained exempt from privileges in this type of "democracy"
[04:01]	nobody	almost all CEOs are west-germans, i'm not aware of any east-germany anwyere in such a position
[04:02]	nobody	almost all University rektors, that's all west-germans even in east-germany
[04:02]	nobody	private property owners, that's all west-germans, even in east germany it's west-germans mostly who own private property
[04:02]	nobody	just as said, it's difficult to acquire all data
[04:04]	nobody	straits of hormus closed, saudi pipeline detonated, nord stream pipeline detonated
[04:04]	nobody	beginning in October saudi won't supply EU with oil
[04:04]	nobody	they say, for four weeks
[04:04]	nobody	yet where would they squeeze out next, to sponser west-german soccer clubs and whatnot
[04:05]	nobody	in west-germany there was strong efforts to re-shape society, to "re-educate", to whichever level of intellect i might ask
[04:06]	nobody	after 1945 all public newspapers, tv, radio, had to follow "allied" supervision
[04:06]	nobody	i don't know how much of this supervision remained
[04:06]	nobody	nowadays it's that many propaganda lies i wouldn't know anymore how to follow all this
[04:07]	nobody	i doubt it's east-germany at fault gasoline skyrockets to $10/gallon, appartment rent hikes up to 25/
[04:08]	nobody	in fact i wouldn't know any east-german who could sustain a living on this type of econometrics
[04:08]	nobody	but we've got the _same_ currency in both east and west, that's the Euro
[04:09]	nobody	and it seems we've got no consistent economic and taxation policies
[04:09]	nobody	meanwhile east-germany shall follow austerity policy
[04:09]	nobody	west-germany inflates to the moon with labor union demands
[04:10]	nobody	i'm no economic expert, but i wouldn't know what this should result in, other than a division of germany
[04:10]	nobody	states seggregating
[04:10]	nobody	the reason why west-german christian "democrats" argue with unity anti-trust
[04:10]	nobody	that's no interest in east-germany, it's their interest in cheap russian gas supplies _only_
[04:11]	nobody	no cultural understanding, no political understanding, nothing
[04:12]	nobody	i'm close to saying they merely want to dictate policies to benefit themselves only
[04:12]	nobody	yet, a dictator ship of a majority population over a minority population, that's no democracy, it's a dictatorship
[04:12]	nobody	hence all the fake morale and bullshit climate science they come up with
[04:13]	nobody	if they wanted to stop climate change, they've had to stop refueling their luxury vehicles, in west-germany first and foremost
[04:13]	nobody	yet tell this to labor union church members, no more luxury vehciles, no more holiday travels, no office space, no car, no inter-city train ticket
[04:14]	nobody	none of this for you, for 20years to come
[04:14]	nobody	that's the politics west-german "democrats" invented
[04:14]	nobody	and tailored a thousand exceptions for themselves to remain exempt
[04:14]	nobody	recently west-germany boiled up propaganda over "solidarity tax"
[04:15]	nobody	which was introduced to finance structural reforms in east-germany in 1990s, and wasn't abandoned ever since
[04:15]	nobody	what they forgot to tell in west-germany, east-germans too paid this tax
[04:15]	nobody	and the major recipient of financial balancing, that's west-german districts (NRW state), not east germany
[04:16]	nobody	then again, as usual, it's almost impossible to acquire real and plausible data
[04:16]	nobody	because politics again argue with austerity policy, where should this be applied now?
[04:17]	nobody	problem is, west-germany majority population (among whom there's alot of injustice and poverty of cause, but that's unrelated to east-germany because it's west-german politics)
[04:17]	nobody	west-germany was drowning in much higher salaries, much higher financial savings
[04:18]	nobody	so where should austerity begin, or at least who mustn't remain exempt now?
[04:18]	nobody	our BlackRock Capital CEO chancellor promised ahead of his election, he'll comply with and enforce compliance with constitutional budget requirements
[04:19]	nobody	a day later after his election, with the _old_ parliament majority which he needed, he passed legislation for several "special budgets"
[04:19]	nobody	to appeast west-german labor union staff, again, what a suprise
[04:20]	nobody	which was a double-fold violation of the constution, circuumventing the new majority which was voted for the new parliament

[04:21]	nobody	but you've had to account for entire EU, which again is majority western politics and their interests
[04:21]	lxo	I attended an event a week ago, co-sponsored by Red Hat Academy.  there were sponsor talks, it was single-track, so I watched it.  the presenter claimed Red Hat had peaked at 20k people, and that it was down to some 18k
[04:22]	lxo	^ schestowitz[TR2] 
[04:22]	nobody	by coincidence RedHat too runs some office, in bavaria here close nearby Erlangen
[04:24]	nobody	besides RedHat, SUSE resides in Nrnberg close nearby
[04:24]	nobody	don't know if they'll be swinging an axe against this
[04:25]	nobody	our ministry of economics and energy argued to construct more LNG power plants, to run data centers with
[04:25]	nobody	yet, where should all the LNG come from?
[04:27]	nobody	none of my concerns, neither RedHat nor SUSE run any office in east-germany, to my knowledge
[04:27]	nobody	and i might ask, why would i want any of them residing in east-germany?
[04:28]	nobody	how would any of them benefit east-german economy, other than soaking excess energy and cash?
[04:28]	nobody	leaving waste-land behind few years later
[04:29]	nobody	it's not as if i had to say any word in this, really;
[04:30]	nobody	politics might show opportunistic interest, to place some of their nephews into positions, who knows
[04:32]	nobody	this is too what they tried with some Intel and Tesla fabs recently in Berlin and Brandenburg and Magedeburg
[04:32]	nobody	result being, Intel demanded a dozen billion tax payers cash of subsidies and postponed their "investment"
[04:33]	nobody	12 billion is rather much for a small state such as saxony-anhalt on austeritiy policy with an aging population
[04:33]	nobody	except for a few young with decent education
[04:33]	nobody	which i wouldn't know if they could shoulder a 12billion debt
[04:34]	nobody	in Berlin some eco-activists got mad and sabotaged energy grid lines connecting Tesla fab
[04:34]	nobody	and Musk wasn't pleased with unusually high sick leaves reported
[04:34]	nobody	after all Berlin is cronically bancrupt
[04:35]	nobody	then rents will hike further, most east-germans can't afford private property to live in, but pay appartment rent
[04:35]	nobody	which will just increase over-proportionally when salaries increased, if at all
[04:36]	nobody	Berlin elections next sunday, in parallel to MV federal state
[04:38]	nobody	i doubt RedHat would establish a presence in east-germany, most of the young education population left
[04:39]	nobody	there's a few remaining, but it's a scarce resource in east-germany, to dedicate a few hundred staff to RedHat business
[04:39]	nobody	if there was any
[04:40]	nobody	in Bavaria meanwhile, they're concerned with nuclear-fusion power research
[04:41]	nobody	if at all, in 50years such might supply power to data centers
[04:41]	nobody	and Bavaria too had to shut down all it's old nuclear plants
[04:42]	nobody	chancellor F. Merz said, it's shackling germany to its bones and heart
[04:43]	nobody	he didn't expect the election results coming
[04:43]	nobody	well, he invested into Jlich Jupiter Data Center, that's west-germany again
[04:43]	nobody	powered by Nvidia(R), to boost AI stocks
[04:44]	nobody	he too praised excellent education in germany, it's a huge bargain nowadays
[04:44]	nobody	few days later PISA survey results announced the opposite
[04:45]	nobody	the older generation of engineers and academics will retire
[04:46]	nobody	then he argued, all critics, that's merely doomsday naysayers
[04:46]	nobody	thanks god, Jlich Research dismantled their nuclear research reactor
[04:47]	nobody	then again, the energy strategy was LNG power plants to produce heat and electricity
[04:47]	nobody	all of the sudden, there isn't none, no more cheap russian gas
[04:48]	nobody	news here report refinery facilities are detonated all over entire russia, in paralle to the saudi and iran crisis
[04:49]	nobody	official explanation of west-german politics always had been, it was the highly productive industry jobs of theirs which finance generous "social security"
[04:50]	nobody	VW labor union executives staring with pale faces into camera, facilities will be closed, in germany
[04:51]	nobody	i still suspect, even if nord stream didn't detonate 2022, russia might not have supplied the required amounts
[04:52]	nobody	for entire EU btw. because too EU insisted to impose "regulations" upon Nord Stream, if there wasn't no "fair" share for everyone
[04:52]	nobody	first it's been "regulations", then "sanctions"
[04:53]	nobody	yet neither will supply anything, either lifting or imposing, if there isn't none, no LNG/energy
[04:53]	nobody	it's been _the_ strategy, LNG power plants shall "bridge the gap into renewable era"
[04:54]	nobody	even if they rebuild the pipelines and dozens of those plants, how could those be powered if there was no supplies
[04:54]	nobody	in 2022, in a hurry our "green" "democratic" party jet-setted to quatar, contracting for long term supply
[04:55]	nobody	interestingly, some independent energy agency supervising the "market" here seems not nervous ahead of winter seasons LNG storage reports record low
[04:56]	nobody	from the annual energy billing of LNG, i can't say with certainty if the total appartment block comsumption reported in kWh
[04:57]	nobody	if that had applied the "climate factor", or if that was the real total consumption
[04:57]	nobody	for my appartment, they simply accounted 4-fold the real consumption, while the real physical metering reported much less
[04:58]	nobody	so, that's all on papers, scam and fraud, that's the data they got to plan ahead for energy supply
[04:59]	nobody	that's too how they relabled this as "renewable", it's merely accounting scam
[04:59]	nobody	to secretly re-route gigantic amounts of supplies
[04:59]	nobody	to bill those again for moon prices elsewhere
[04:59]	nobody	yet, with energy/gas, this can only burn no more than once, even when that's accounted for 4 times elsewhere
● Sep 19
[05:00]	nobody	Chancellor Merz labeled his Nvidia Jupiter Data Center "climate neutral", because it's powered by such type of renewables
[05:01]	nobody	total nonsense, doesn't make sense, well this is it
[05:01]	nobody	and of cause, it's "creating jobs", and "innovation", for the "future" blah
[05:01]	nobody	data centers might, maybe, maybe not; accounting fraud certainly doesn't
[05:02]	nobody	and after all what is it he, F. Merz needs gigantic piles of Nvidia power? mine bitcoins?
[05:03]	nobody	i must admit, google AI is powerful, but it too seems to soak excess energy
[05:04]	nobody	i can't say with certainty, where this discrepancy vanished
[05:04]	nobody	an official LNG price of ~15cents/kWh, then on my bill accounted with ~100cents/kWh (depending on how that intersects with the water usage tampering)
[05:05]	nobody	in between, there's a gigantic margin close to 1000% bonus, and that's one such bill among dozens of millions
[05:06]	nobody	maybe russians were thinking, hey okay, that's good business for us
[05:06]	nobody	for as long as they really could supply all those amounts
[05:06]	nobody	i can't opt-out from this, just in case such energy prizing over-extended my budget
[05:06]	nobody	of 1100/month 700 are chopped for rent and energy
[05:07]	nobody	what was the wording of west-german politics to sponsor Intel Tesla and whoever: "Climate and Innovation Transformation Fund" (German KTF)
[05:08]	nobody	but i doubt mentioned unofficial accounting ever showed up anywhere
[05:08]	nobody	this KTF fund is just another special bonus budget
[05:09]	nobody	to accomodate labor union church member households with solar panels, electric vehicles, IPTV streaming, nvidia toys
[05:09]	nobody	because if they wiped the real data from the accounting, all this is renewable, it's free
[05:09]	nobody	how did "alliance90/greens" say, "solar power doesn't send an energy bill"
[05:10]	nobody	Intel alone seeked to soak 12billion subsidies for their fab
[05:11]	nobody	F-35, another one at that scale
[05:11]	nobody	you know, it's a "market economy" if all that is sponsored with tax payer subsidies
[05:11]	nobody	and most important, it's "climate neutral" if those who paid for it can't afford it themselves
[05:11]	nobody	a Tesla, Solar Panels, heat pumps and air coniditioning
[05:12]	nobody	the daimler diesel, that's powered by bio fuels, hence it's green, until it isn't when there's no more russian LNG
[05:13]	nobody	which was another scandal here, the prime candidate in MV election, Schwesig with the help of her russian and german Stasi KGB friends
[05:14]	nobody	established an "NGO" for "climate friendly energy", which coordinated russian import/export, pipelines, power plants, to circuumvent "sanctions"
[05:14]	nobody	the day when Nord Stream detonated, one of her trainees by accident burned all nord stream energy accounting records
[05:15]	nobody	well, i've archived the energy bills her labor union church had sent me

[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	I put her card in front of me
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	we go out at 9am
[05:31]	nobody	and the entire apparatus of oppression developed highly senstive probing of wrong-thinking
[05:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	going to write about red hat soon
[05:31]	nobody	that's how you arrive at employment agency demanding evaluation of psychological condition
[05:32]	nobody	moment what, data centers need energy and water... tat's climate deniar wrong-think... silence this
[05:32]	nobody	the whole energy accounting, normalized to a common basis in kWh and pricing
[05:32]	nobody	questions asked, 1984 wrong-think, 2+2=5, gone you are
[05:33]	lxo	https://plantaformas.org/conferences/iii-semana-software-livre-brasil/f/623/proposals is a week-long celebration, an extended version of software freedom day in Brazil.  it starts next Monday.  the call for activities is still open

[05:34]	nobody	the reason why pipelines and refineries detonated, they probably could not supply the contracted amounts anymore, and seeked to bail out compensation of damages when violating contracts
[05:34]	nobody	and then advertize this as "climate change" policy, all energy was burned and wasted 10fold, there's none no more
[05:35]	nobody	all the wish-thinks gone...
[05:35]	nobody	it's no coincidence recently "big tech" argued they've had to slow down "AI innovation"
[05:35]	nobody	it's not been slowed down, it's just marketing speech there's none no more, no progress, no more energy increase
[05:36]	nobody	so they're camouflaging this as "acting responsibly"
[05:37]	nobody	if reasonable economic energy policies had been applies, there had not been any energy nor climate crisis
[05:38]	nobody	but it's _never_ been the intention of those policies, neither economical nor ecological rationale
[05:38]	nobody	they tried to hide it with excess accounting fraud, but they could not hide Nord Stream, Straits of Hormus, refineries burning, saudi pipe blown up
[05:39]	nobody	for that matter, saudi/quatar too are major "investors"
[05:39]	nobody	makes me wonder who councelled them on economic policies
[05:39]	nobody	when "investing" into "AI" and things
[05:40]	nobody	it's been that much money and energy burned for nonsense

[05:41]	nobody	and this too had structural impact on global economy
[05:42]	nobody	"who's burning most gets most of it", instead of recognizing energy as a scarce resource
[05:43]	nobody	it's been described in "the green paradox" essay, long time ago
[05:43]	nobody	but it's been mis-interpreted, intentionally
[05:43]	TR News	TelescopeBoy could not fix his laptop. 4 days down the drain and he looks foolish, incompetent. Turns out genetics and CS are very different disciplines.
[05:44]	nobody	that is, if any economy implemented reasonable energy policy for savings, then prices _lower_ on global markets and other economies will soak any surplus for cheap
[05:44]	nobody	that's how, energy policy to counter climate change will fail, always
[05:44]	nobody	but the conclusion was, global regulation must be implemented, for economic reasons mainly
[05:45]	nobody	too to prevent mis-allocation of scarce resources
[05:45]	nobody	instead of dumping energy into the most inefficient
[05:45]	nobody	that's the green paradox
[05:46]	nobody	Tesla vehicles and solar panels side with _inefficient_ energetic/economic footprint
[05:46]	nobody	even when there's some technical benefits in niche applications, the energetic and economic footprint is critical
[05:47]	nobody	without "climate change" policies, indeed, money and resources would not have been allocated to this at the scale known nowadays
[05:48]	nobody	ironically, it's "green" democrats still who agitate for those policies most excessively
[05:48]	nobody	even when those policies in particular are lethal to climate and economy
[05:48]	nobody	it's a disaster for both
[05:49]	nobody	of cause, Intel had deserved subsidies, it's not possible to kickstart such big business without
[05:50]	nobody	but subsidies must be granted when these yield _efficient_ economical and ecological activity
[05:50]	nobody	the type of "efficiency" "green IT" is advertizing is a scam however, it's merely boosting sales for shareholder value
[05:51]	nobody	"heat pumps" aren't efficient either, it's an ecological disaster when burning brown coal for those
[05:51]	nobody	yet those were intentionally subsidized regardless, and re-labeled as "re-newable
[05:51]	nobody	"
[05:52]	nobody	when Elon and friends ordered some fig leaf solar panel on amazon, which at most could cover 1% of total energy requirements of any such heat pump
[05:53]	nobody	but once you dissect all the propaganda and lies, this leaves that many contradictions behind, it's impossible to comprehend
[05:53]	nobody	almost as if Tchernboyl detonated in 1986, and engineers were reporing the core remained
[05:54]	nobody	few days later in sweden highly unusual radiation levels were detected

[05:54]	nobody	just like they couldn't hide the detonating pipelines and refineries nowadays
[05:55]	nobody	which are powering data centers with "renewables"
[05:55]	nobody	on a scientific basis, there's no clear definition for renewables at least
[05:56]	nobody	of cause, they'll tailor some propaganda in an instant when asked
[05:56]	nobody	which doesn't change the fact, energy is a scarce resource, in particular when it's solar powered
[05:57]	nobody	investments must be done based on strict economic reasoning, instead of wish-thinking
[05:58]	nobody	just because one barrel of oil was accounted thrice on paper, doesn't mean there's three barrels
[05:58]	nobody	just because solar power is overrated ten-fold on paper, doesn't mean it supplied these amounts of energy
[05:59]	nobody	this whole scame remained "sustainable" only, because the green-paradox consequences were ignored and hidden in accounting fraud
[05:59]	nobody	the most excessive in human history
● Sep 19
[06:00]	nobody	i've not yet seen any plausible data anywhere, solar panels or wind turbines really were any more or less environmentally friendly
[06:00]	nobody	but it's been hammered into the brains
[06:01]	nobody	with the outcome in germany, industry jobs are lost, in parallel to hitting record heat waves
[06:01]	nobody	the energy policies accelerated this trend, instead of halting it
[06:02]	nobody	another perception of this, is the "justice" dispute
[06:03]	nobody	i doubt any of these policies will bring justice
[06:04]	nobody	if solar panels helped in africa and developing countries, go for it, there's it's put to test for real
[06:04]	nobody	because people there often do not have any other energy supply at all
[06:05]	nobody	but this doesn't need any elaborate agenda, if "renewable" there is suitable for economic needs, then it's the favorable choice anyway
[06:08]	nobody	yet even in the western economic sphere, energy is scarce resource
[06:08]	nobody	if it's mis-allocated and used inefficiently, it's gone, burned, void
[06:08]	nobody	it can't be quadrupled by accounting methods
[06:09]	nobody	when german industry now is whining over expensive energy, it's mis-guided
[06:09]	nobody	because energy was relatively cheap for them in particular
[06:09]	nobody	that's why too much was mis-allocated and wasted
[06:12]	nobody	it's merely a historical side-note at best, politics in german favored my existence being destroyed for some weird perception of higher morale of labor union church members
[06:13]	nobody	that's boring, daytime soap opera politics, a bunch of child-monkeys crying in politics who might waste most of energy and resources
[06:14]	nobody	meanwhile they sacrifice teachers hired, university professors hired for all this
[06:15]	nobody	which is merely a subjective perspective of mine
[06:16]	nobody	it's another difference between east-germany and west-germany
[06:17]	nobody	the former was (far more) accustomed to scarcity of resources than west-germany

[06:17]	nobody	"boy, listen the difference between capitalism and socialist planned economy is this
[06:18]	nobody	here in east germany we're taking measurements of wood cuts ten times, and then cut once, in west germany they measure the wood once and then cut ten pieces until one fits the desired length"
[06:19]	nobody	if resources are scare, you've had to think hard _before_ wasting any
[06:20]	nobody	that's something western and capitalist economies aren't accustomed to anymore
[06:20]		*techrights-news has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[06:20]	nobody	but it's not exlusive to capitalism
[06:21]	nobody	if educated staff was a scarce resource, you'd rather re-think how their brains were allocated
[06:21]	nobody	insteads of burning 10brains with endless nonsense
[06:23]	nobody	i got another 6month until the next annual energy bill arrives
[06:24]	nobody	and politics already said, they rather granted another tax bonus to car drivers, which must be "financed" somehow
[06:25]	nobody	i do know, how such bonus is generated, what the accounting methods are
[06:25]	nobody	one principle being, those who consume least with lowest income are hit _hardest_
[06:26]	nobody	with the explanation, it's all "unproductive" anyway, if very little energy was consumed only
[06:26]	nobody	then they tamper the accounting again, a vicious cycle
[06:27]	nobody	i doubt a strong trumpist AfD vote would change anything
[06:30]	nobody	in year 2013 it might have, when they insisted upon strict regulation of banking and finance
[06:30]	nobody	which at bare minimum implied correct accounting
[06:31]	nobody	but they've changed their agenda fundementally, no saying it's all "cheap russian energy" anyway
[06:31]	nobody	which is based upon the exact same misnomer which caused the misery
[06:32]	nobody	either solar was cheap, or lng was, or nuclear - none of it is, it's all scarce
[06:32]	nobody	and they're all trapped in wish-thinking
[06:32]	nobody	maybe there is some political agenda behind recent events which planned ahead of today's scenarios reported
[06:33]	nobody	but i doubt it, any of those politicians planned ahead beyond their scheduled presence in parliament until next election
[06:34]	nobody	it's trivial examples as usual, now they're promising bonus for car drivers at petrol stations
[06:34]	nobody	a special bonus in rural areas to teenagers their drivers license was sponsored... go vote for us, the usual routine
[06:34]	nobody	which is both problematic and unnecessary
[06:35]	nobody	if youth is seeking jobs then they must have just those, but decide for themselves how appropriate salary was spent
[06:36]	nobody	if gasoline is scarce, a tax bonus doesn't supply more oil and gas either
[06:36]	nobody	most of their promises are nonsense
[06:36]	nobody	too the pension fund bonuses are, even when desirable for some, the system would need a structured reform
[06:37]	nobody	if basic income regulations were appropriate, then there was simply no need for exceptions and retirement bonuses promised to particular interest groups during elections 
[06:38]	nobody	yet this exact same social security system, the moment when labor union church members themselves were blessed by it
[06:38]	nobody	all of the sudden they find it unfair, it's by for not too generous, a 180 opportunistic turn
[06:39]	nobody	a basic social security system doesn't have to discriminate by age to remain fair
[06:39]	nobody	it's not a generational conflict anyway, it's a conflict between privileged and unprivileged
[06:40]	nobody	it's not a conflict between immigrants and autochtones either
[06:40]	nobody	rather many immigrants are privileged nowadays, but politics boil up incitement regardless
[06:40]	nobody	and it's merely coincidence, on average west-germans and their demographics are more privleged than east-germans
[06:41]	nobody	the political left is rigged, when argueing, because they combine their "justice" argument with the "climate change" one
[06:41]	nobody	yet the latter in particular had been the fraud and scam which caused most trouble to begin with
[06:42]	nobody	if inefficient high energy consumption was sanctioned and efficient low energy consumption was subsidized
[06:42]	nobody	this would be the right incentive, but the left is argueing for the opposite, like all others
[06:44]	nobody	almost trivial low efficient energy use had lowest absolute and relative pricing
[06:44]	nobody	but they're doing the opposite
[06:45]	nobody	"strong shoulders must carry more weight... that's justice"
[06:45]	nobody	at first glance this sounds great
[06:46]	nobody	yet most of this discimination just is unnecessary, and sometimes harmful even
[06:47]	nobody	if citizens aren't signaled the _real_ prizing of their activities
[06:48]	nobody	interestingly, energy price hikes not yet had an impact on grocery store prices of decent food here
[06:49]	nobody	yet, there's nothing to be leveraged there, you can't bake that many surplus breadrools to dump this into pyrolysis for methane production anyway
[06:50]	nobody	the energy-contents are noted in kcals or joules for nutrients, not kWh
[06:50]	nobody	which could be an interesting task for Elon and his renewable energy brain
[06:50]	nobody	how many renewable breadrolls would you need burned to produce electricity that powers your EV 10miles?
[06:51]	nobody	interestingly, in year 2022/23 grocery store prices did hike, but it's a tad bit down to normal again
[06:52]	nobody	Ukraine is a major supplier of corn, wheat, maize, rapeseed, sunflowers
[06:52]	nobody	who knows how much wishthinking flourished, envision bio-fuels produced form this, until russia closed down harbors
[06:53]	nobody	just speculation and theory
[06:53]	nobody	it's surreal, nowadays

[07:10]	nobody	in 1970s politics dictated sunday driving was forbidden, for a few weeks (the time when workforce immigration agreements were terminated already, in 1970s)\

[07:11]	nobody	too around 1970s some time
[07:12]	nobody	so they've soaked "cheap gas" long before, keeping a minority of the population jailed behind iron curtain

[07:13]	nobody	the "christians" supported it, but weren't completely honest either

[17:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	"16,000 Pixels Per Inch" is too much

[17:17]	schestowitz[TR2]	then it it misleading
[17:17]	schestowitz[TR2]	they should measure in MP

[17:17]	schestowitz[TR2]	that's not much
