Wie kann man jemanden wie Lindner, der noch dazu von der stimmenschwächsten Koalitionspartei kommt, zum Finanzminister machen? Ich verstehe das nicht.

Good luck competing with SpaceX on the cost front.

This is not an economic issue but rather one on human rights and democracy. I don’t think it’s a good idea to become dependent on a single company and/or a single government (Elon Musk has agreed to sell a portion of Starlink assets to the U.S. Department of Defense as you may know)

Not even getting started on the whole space trash issue. Starlink has 4500 satellites in orbit and is launching more every week.

Space debris is a real issue which threatens humanity even in the short term. And it is another reason for international collaboration as we should not allow a single company “launching more satellites every week” without reaching an irrevocable and immutable agreement that it is for the good of all the people on earth (see my other comment in this thread).

Vielleicht geht es ja nur mir so, aber ich finde es immer schwerer, die realen Nachrichten von Satire zu unterscheiden. Beim Lesen der Überschrift dachte ich zuerst, da hat jemand vom Postillon kreuzgepostet oder sowas.

Good. But European firms must also stop putting European intellectual property and national security at risk by outsourcing the making of sensitive technology to China or other countries, and Chinese and other foreign companies shouldn’t be allowed to take over European companies (the latter being a corresponding rule in China for foreign companies btw).

Scholz will keine Taurus-Lieferung an Ukraine. Er wollte (will?) Anteile am Hamburger Hafen an China verkaufen. Er will endlich “in grossem Stil abschieben”.

Sorry, aber bei welcher Partei ist der nochmal?

Although abortion was legalised in England and Wales in 1967, the procedure is still criminal in specific circumstances.

Under Section 58 of the Offence Against the Person Act 1861, which carries a maximum life sentence, it is illegal for a woman to administer “poison” (abortion pills) with the intent to cause her own miscarriage after the 24-week legal limit.

As the article also says:

Even when the test finds no trace of abortion medication women can continue to remain under suspicion “as a negative test does not exclude earlier use of drugs”, he said. In that event, he argued, “the only motivation for testing is entrapment”.

And the article examines a wide range of intrusive measures by police forces in the UK and other countries, violating fundamental human rights.

Spain striker Borja Iglesias steps down from Spain’s (male) national team after Rubiales’ refusal to resign

Real Betis striker Borja Iglesias has announced his intention to step down from the Spanish national soccer team, following statements made by Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales and his refusal to resign in the wake of the scandal caused by a non-consensual kiss with midfielder Jenni Hermoso after the victory of the women’s team at the 2023 World Cup. “I am sad and disappointed,” Iglesias said, while declaring solidarity with his “teammate” Hermoso.

Just correct me if I’m mistaken, but a quick research revealed that when a woman in Texas gets an abortion she is handed a life-long prison sentence and a fine of USD 10,000. A doctor who performs an abortion gets also a life in prison, looses his licence, and pays a fine of USD 100,000.

But a man poisoning a woman with abortion medication get 180 days in jail, no fine.

I’m not a legal expert, but that seems to have nothing to do with justice but rather with controlling women, right?
