gestern abend auf dem heimweg gabs bei mir wieder mal als podcast einen vortrag aus der sammlung von deutschlandfunk nova. diesmal von johannes völz, vom 4 dezember 2023. der machte keine gute laune.

heutige evangelikale in den usa sind dediziert antidemokratisch und haben die republikanische politik übernommen. so sehr, dass offenbar schon beide begriffe synonym verwendet werden: republikaner und evangelikal.

ich fand es sehr hörenswert und informativ.

a great piece about tariffs by @Cory Doctorow and how they influence the market.

with wonderful insights:

Neoliberal economists have an answer to this kind of thing: "it's fine." In the self-referential world of economism, whatever happens was meant to happen, because markets are efficient, so whatever happens in the market is efficient,

our new boss in germany, merz, will of course agree. markets! so great!

𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not yet begun to fight" wrote the following post Fri, 04 Apr 2025 00:17:42 +0200 Ok. I'm a teacher. So let me break this down for you into very very simple ideas and numbers.

Let's say you run a sandwich shop. You sell $10 sandwiches. It's a very good sandwich shop. You sell a lot of sandwiches. In fact, I buy a sandwich from you every single day. In a week, I have spent $70 buying sandwiches from you.

Now let's say I am selling my car. You, the owner of the sandwich shop, need a car. I decide to sell you my car for the very very reasonable price of $700.

So here's the situation at the end of a week. You have sold me $70 worth of goods. I have received $70 worth of sandwiches. In return, I have sold you $700 worth of goods, and you have received $700 worth of car.

Any reasonable, rational person would look at that situation and say "that's a fair exchange". Both parties paid an amount of money equal to the value of the goods they now own.

But Trump is not a rational person. What he has decided this means is that you have somehow cheated me out of $630, because $700-$70=$630. Does this make sense? Fuck no. If anything, I got the better part of that deal. I now have $630, plus a belly full of sandwiches.

But it gets even worse. Then, because Trump's a-brain is filled with maggots, he further declares that since $70 divided by $700 is .10, that MUST mean you, the owner of the sandwich shop, have been imposing a 10% sandwich tariff on me the whole time. Does THIS make a lick of sense either? Also fuck no.

But wait, you're going to love this. Trump's "solution" to this is to decree that going forward, all cars I sell you will be marked up a "reciprocal' 10% to $770. He says this will be good for sandwich sales. Does THIS make any goddamn sense either? Jesus fucking Christ on a pogo stick no it fucking does not.

This entire idea is complete horseshit for what I hope you can now see are a whole raft of very very obvious reasons. Among them:

1. There never was a "sandwich tariff" to reciprocate
2. There is no rational reason for you to buy a car from me ever again
3. This will not affect sandwich sales at all
4. That's not how numbers work
5. That's not how any of this works

Now replace the car seller with America, and the sandwich shop with an island inhabited only by penguins. I wish I was joking.

ok, i had to see it, now everybody else in my stream has to, too!

selber schuld!

Wirklich bitter, dass es in der letzten Legislaturperiode nicht gelungen ist, das Wort “Rasse” aus dem deutschen Grundgesetz zu streichen bzw. den Passus so umzuformulieren, dass klar wird, Rassismus ist Menschen so zu behandeln, als gäbe es Rassen.
Was nicht der Fall ist, “Rasse” ist ein seit Ewigkeiten widerlegter pseudowissenschaftlicher Unfug.
