Where is this from?

That's the beauty: execs still get paid for their "innovative leadership" and "future earning potential" (aka make free product and enshittify later). Should the company go under while theyr still there, they just sell their stocks and pull their golden parachutes. They always win, that's why we should do funny things (in Minecraft)

Isn't that typical rightwing hypocrisy? As in: the in-group needs to be protected by the law but not bound an vice versa for the out-group. The double standard is not a contradiction, it's the point.

Nah sadly not, her party is more Nazbol/Patsoc. While commendable that finally a party with some relevancy calls it a genocide, their other positions are kinda dogshit. They split from the (socdem) Die Linke, because they were socially too 'woke'. Wagenkencht's party is against LGBTQ rights, because they are not relevant to working people. They are close to the bad parts of Russia, though this led to a more nuanced approach to the current conflict. They are also iffy on climate change because acting on it costs jobs/reduces industrial capacity

Lol, instead of focusing on the bad conditions traffic controllers have to work in (while carrying an enormous responsibility) and acknowledging the additional environmental impact these delays bring, the pilot starts to bootlick:

"It's very annoying," the pilot told the passengers. "It's cost the company a lot of money. It costs business people a lot of money, and it would be great to have this addressed."

Wrong heading, should be: Micro$oft stole my Minecraft Account

 

I've been sick the last few days and to pass time I watched a Video from Geopolitical Economy Report, where he states that about 8 percent of the US GDP (I know that that measurement is shit, but it's still the most used one) is attributed to imputed rent from owner-occupied housing and therefor bullshit.

I tried to read up a little on the topic because I have trouble believing that such a bogus figure is included in the GDP, because it doesn't add value. Everything you do in your own home is not work that 'benefits' the economy and if you hire contractors or buy materials it's already included in the GDP. Though the reading material I found is either full of jargon or skips this question.

So now I hope that someone knowledgeable can clarify this: is this rent imputation really just padding for the GDP or does it server another purpose?

Material I used:

And footnote: It's very telling, that capitalist countries view rent as an important part of their economy agony-deep

 

The whole uncut conference is here with the relevant part starting at 41:41, though it is completely in german with no english subtitles available.

It is baffling to me, how libs don't see (or care) how basic rights are just ignored in germ*ny, when it would be uncomfortable for the settler colonial entity on palestinian soil. I also wonder how slimy one has to be, to weasle your way out of every difficult question when giving a press conference.

Note: I'm not really familiar with DiEM25 or Varoufakis, though they seem to have at least some based takes. But please don't consider this post an endorsement for either.

And obligatory germany-cool
