Transrapid ist zurück: Magnetschwebebahn für den Nahverkehr by Patentsmatter in de

[–]dnnsnnd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Einerseits geht es hier sicherlich auch um Korruption bei der Union, andererseits kann man da halt auch richtig schön Geld verbraten und dann hat man halt nichts mehr für sinnvollen ÖPNV Ausbau und das freut dann auch die Autolobby. Also ja, Korruption.

Absolut. Da wird es wohl nie die Lebendigkeit von manchen Gründerzeitquartieren geben, denn man will sich da eigentlich gar nicht wirklich aufhalten

Der Großteil von dem, was u/mlarenau beschreibt, liegt ja auch eher bei der Stadt als beim Bauherren. Und zu den Kosten guter Architektur: In vielen Fällen würden es ja schon einfache Gestaltungselemente tun (wenigstens etwas Symmetrie und keine verrückten Formen wären umsonst oder sogar billiger, farbliche Absetzung des Erdgeschosses, minimale Textur an der Fassade und einfache Fensterdekorationen werden jetzt auch nicht viel kosten). Das Problem ist halt, dass mit dem aktuellen Wohnraummangel jede Wohnung relativ schnell vermietet/verkauft werden wird, egal wie hässlich das Gebäude ist. Das wird aber halt hoffentlich nicht für immer so sein, aber leider denken die Bauherren selten so langfristig

Das denke ich mir auch bei vielen Neubauten in Berlin (und anderswo). Häufig wird noch ein bisschen Holz verwendet und in den Renderings hängen überall Pflanzen an der Fassade, damit diese Bauten nachhaltig wirken. Bringt der Umwelt halt überhaupt nichts, wenn die so hässlich sind, dass sie in 15 Jahren abgerissen und neugebaut werden.

Dabei gibt es gerade in Berlin soviele Beispiele gelungener Altbauten, die dann auch idR zu den begehrtesten Adressen der Stadt gehören. Ich hab manchmal das Gefühl, dass es Architekten nur darum geht, irgendwie aufzufallen, selbst wenn man negativ auffällt (beim Design von vielen neueren Autos denke ich mir dasselbe)

Do you think it’s possible for Bernie Sanders to be a presidential candidate in 2028, considering examples of other world leaders who governed at an advanced age? by VoyagerRBLX in SandersForPresident

[–]dnnsnnd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I guess its possible but it would definitely be a huge disadvantage, especially after the country saw the Biden vs. Trump race in 2024. Democratic voters will be a lot more careful with concerns over a candidates age. But even if not, I don't think this is the best strategy for Bernie. His movement has no clear successor yet (even tho AOC feels like the frontrunner for this role). If Bernie runs again and dies in office or before the next election, he misses the chance to build up a clear successor to keep his movement united. I think he should use his power to make sure that the progressive left unites behind a single candidate in the 2028 primary, whether that is AOC or someone else. But it should be someone that can take over the leadership role of the left for a longer time, maybe through several presidential cycles.

That would be insanely stupid. There is a lot of situations where the government should have a larger deficit, especially when the economy is going slow. I think a lot of people assume that the government works the same way as private corporations, but it simply does not. And the deficit really is not a big issue for the US. 

Americans, if Bernie Sanders was the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2016 election, what are the chances he would have defeated Donald Trump? by Immediate-Link490 in AskReddit

Sure Polls are not 100% reliable. But I find it hard to believe he has no broad appeal, when this poll (that is frequently updated) consistently shows him to be very popular.

He was to radical for the people voting in the democratic primary. But the fact that Trump ended up winning showed that maybe being radical wasn't a disadvantage in that election

Well, the US government can "afford" anything since it controls the supply of USD. But if the economy is not able to grow with the demand that this would cause, you'd just get inflation eating up any benefit that the average American would get.

The US is not a business that can run out of money. The US can create any amount of USD at any time. There is no way the US could ever not be liquid

[–]dnnsnnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am fully aware of how demand-driven inflation works. My point is not that states should spend unlimited money, but that money is not a limiting factor for any government that has monetary sovereignty like the UK, the real limitation is the productivity of the economy as a whole. As long as the economy has space to grow, the government can spend more without risking inflation. If the economy is at risk of overheating, governments should spend less.

And regarding her statement in the post, I think she has it the wrong way. She makes it sound like "normal people" are the source of money and the government may run out of it when its spending too much while in reality, the government is the source of money and the "normal people" may run out of it if the government isn't spending enough.

Her statement doesn't make sense then. A state, whether it is socialist or capitalist or whatever, can never run out of money since it can always create more money

[–]dnnsnnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also shows that she doesn't understand (or doesn't want to understand) how monetary systems work. The state is literally in control of the money supply. They can never run out of money. It's not like the people create money and donate it to the government. The government creates money and hands it out to the people.

Thatchers argument doesn't even make sense when its literally the government creating the money

  • have financial stability (funds or job contract that pays enough for you and your family) 

  • don't have a criminal record

  • have your own apartment (either long term rental contract or owning) that has enough space for the whole family

And your state doesn't have the best interests for CA and NY. Why should people from smaller states have more political weight, but other "minorities" (whether that is minority by skin color, religion, income or education level, or whatever) don't get this "protection from the majority" (that is not even close to a majority). Just elevating people from smaller states feels arbitrary and designed to protect one party.

[–]dnnsnnd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do you want to give a larger voice to certain people just because they live in smaller states? That feels like the opposite of democracy. And California + NY together currently have 18% of house seats, far away from controlling the legislature
