Good. We need a steady reduction of the economic volume.
There is a huge difference between not being allowed to do something, and deciding not to do something.
I don't have a car (like most people in my town). So not allowing car ownership would be ok?
Maybe 2.1 billion was cheap enough to kill a competitor?
Germany and Italy are filled with monuments regarding their dark past (have never been to France and Spain and only very briefly to Belgium so I can't judge). I really don't know what you are talking about.
If you hurt somebody or damage other people's property, that's illegal regardless of the legal activity you happen to do at the time. Example: It's legal to watch tv, but if you damage the sidewalk in front of your house by doing so, you have to pay for the damage.
Hunting right is tied to the land ownership in Germany. If you own land open to the public, you have to (yes, you have to!) hunt yourself or lease this right (and obligation) to someone else.
Peppermint tea. If you have a garden you can grow it yourself. But you have to keep it from spreading everywhere.
There are other destinations in Europe. Who needs the UK? I used to go there occasionally, in the past, but if they don't want visitors anymore... so be it.
Proves their point! He is one of those criminal refugees himself, isn't he? First hand knowledge.
Our first colour tv cost about 3 months of my dad's salary in the early 1970s. And the Siemens mainframe computer in the company he worked for was tens of thousands (which was more than a year's worth of the average salary). Rent. Every month. It had less computing power than my smartphone.
A brand new coffee grinder (hand crank) for free, and 15 silk neckties for €1 each.
Can you install something like this: https://youtu.be/M8P4v6JeNDw?feature=shared ?
Free people as in free from exploitation, free from polluted environments, free from unsafe work conditions? Then I'm with you.
Germany (city of Potsdam)
In my (over 1,000 year old) city, blocking several streets with bollards and massively reducing street parking worked just fine so far. As did curbing traffic coming in, with longer "red" phases at traffic lights for cars entering, when sensors detect too many cars in the city.
you can come to terms and settle with “good enough”
Exactly. My neighbour went shopping today. I will have to go tomorrow, but why should my goal be to bring home more groceries than her?
The economy is a tool to supply people with stuff. But it's not a competition. If I have enough food I don't need more. Enough is good enough for me, regardless if my neighbour bought more. Or less.
How far is the "forseeable" future? It has to be safe for longer than mankind has existed. Since we don't even know very much about civilisations as recent as the stone age, I don't trust today's storage people.
It's about 40 years since I left university, and I'm afraid I do have a slight idea. And I don't like it. At all.
True. Commercial interests should not have any place, in any university, in any shape and form.
Die Ampel muss einen weiteren Rückschlag vor Gericht hinnehmen: Weil Deutschland die Klimaziele im Verkehrs- und Gebäudesektor in den vergangenen Jahren verfehlt hat, muss die Regierung laut Urteil nun mit Sofortprogrammen gegensteuern.
I have this expensive*) suit which is a bit too baggy. I managed to slim down the trousers a bit and now they fit like a glove. But after watching countless videos about altering jackets, I decided to hand it to a tailor. No way I would to touch that.
*) I got it for cheap, second hand in great condition, but still it's one of those brands I could never afford brand new.
Warum wundert mich das jetzt nicht? Kaum an eine Heuschrecke ('tschuldigung: Ich meinte natürlich "Finanzinvestor") verkauft, und schon geht's den Bach runter. War eigentlich nicht anders zu erwarten.
