But they didn't vote a politician as president this time.

We've got other alternatives. I was not proposing to build coal mines.

No doubt but we have other viable options.

It's incredibly expensive when all costs over the entire construction period, operating period, dismantling period and storage period for nuclear waste are taken into account.

There's nothing more to come. Nuclear power is slow and uneconomical.

Joe Kaeser, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Siemens Energy: "There isn't a single nuclear power plant in the world that makes economic sense," he said on the ARD program Maischberger on November 27, 2024.

A fact check by the Fraunhofer Institute on nuclear energy states: "For example, around €2.5 billion would have to be raised to cover the nuclear waste generated. Overall, considerable short-term investments would be required." (for the construction of a new power plant)

There once was an official IBM logo issued in rainbow colours in 2017:

That would also mean that he had planned everything in detail to fit together. That's beyond his capacities. The recession was obviously unplanned; he's already struggling to keep the whole thing under control. The complexity of human society is overwhelming him.

Another one from 2012:

He was so great as Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's Doors movie. The only one who could have played that role.

Donald Trump represents a symptom of a deeper, systemic issue within the United States: The nation is grappling with severe internal fractures.

The most important division is the extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of very few. The rich are virtually untaxed. Many of these wealthy individuals and corporations have offshored their operations, amassing revenues that surpass those of entire nations.

This economic imbalance has enabled the powerful to dominate both traditional media and social media platforms. They are effectively manipulating public opinion. By exploiting the vulnerabilities of an under-educated populace, this influence has undermined democratic processes.

He had to learn that even a president doesn't have absolute power to rule. And he's intellectually incapable of drafting and passing proper laws. Therefore, he uses decrees and tariffs, tools that even a teenager could use. His actions reveal that he does not really understand the complexity of society or the economy.

He's such an abysmally bad politician. Bungler. He's ruining the country.

A burger that cannot be eaten out of the hand is a faulty design. If I'm supposed to use knife and fork, why put bread on a patty then and build a skyscraper? Doesn't make sense.

And what did Donald Trump say should happen when the Dow Jones drops 1.000 points in two days?

Each day now, I don't buy a Tesla or an iPhone or a New York Penthouse.

Let's also stop using terms like Gen Z or Boomers altogether. They are often used by the media to make articles seem more interesting to certain target groups. But from a scientific point of view, they are about as meaningful as zodiac signs.

"Here's why Cancers can't keep their money together and why Scorpios nevertheless are constantly jealous of their standard of living."

Stop tipping culture. Pay your workers.

Thanks, giving this a try.
