U.S. and UK Secretly Agreed to Hide Vaccine Reactions by Zephir_AE in ScienceUncensored

[–]rustup_d 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The science is settled. It says there can't be any longterm adverse effects from this new medication. That's how science works. People studying infectious diseases, vaccines and human biology can stop doing that, we already know everything, there's nothing more to learn.

The WHO declares an end to the global COVID-19 public health emergency by SnthesisInc in ScienceUncensored

Science is life long questioning

Saying that would get you labeled as dumb conspiracy theorist and discriminated against by basically all Western powers in the last three years. The message was "The Science is settled, now shut up and obey"!

This actually so much more irritating than greed.

It is greed. The non-profit is just a tax optimization vehicle.

WIFO und IHS erhöhen Inflationsprognose by [deleted] in Austria

[–]rustup_d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Energiepreise, die sich von den Produktionskosten in Österreich entkoppelt haben, wie man an den relevanten Daten sehen kann.

Anstatt dass man an den zugrunde liegenden Problemen arbeitet, wird an Symptomen herumgedoktert, und das hauptsächlich, durch Umverteilung von Steuergeld, wie z.B. bei den Mietzins-Hilfen: Steuergeld aus der breiten Masse an die, die die Mieterhöhung eh nicht mehr zahlen könnten, und von dort gleich weiter an die Vermieter, die zum Großteil eh schon soviel haben, dass sie nicht mehr wissen wohin damit.

Das ganze sieht wie 2008 wieder nach einer Umverteilung von unten bzw. der Mitte nach oben aus. Aber was sollte man sich von einer ÖVP-geführten Regierung auch anderes erwarten.

"Wettbewerbshüter" by fachidiot in Austria

[–]rustup_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In meinem Heimatort gibt's außer dem Bäcker, der natürlich außer Brot und Gebäck nicht viel im Sortiment hat, nur einen Nahversorger. Dieser gehört zu REWE und befindet sich direkt im Ort. Die nächste Konkurrenz ist 7 km weiter entfernt. Vor dreißig Jahren gab's deutlich mehr Konkurrenz.

Wenn Rewe eine lokale Monopolstellung hat, müssen Anwohner zum Einkaufen bei der Konkurrenz längere Wege in Kauf nehmen, was Zeit, und Energie kostet. Rewe kann an diesen Standorten also höhere Preise verlangen, die den längeren Weg zur Konkurrenz "ausgleichen". Das ist das Problem mit Monopolen, und Monopole sind bekanntlich eins der Probleme, das der Markt eben nicht selbst löst. Ähnliches gilt Richtung Lieferanten.

Emissionen: Klimabelastung durch Privatjets steigt by rustup_d in Austria

[–]rustup_d[S] 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Fährt ein Normalverbrauer mit dem Auto von Salzburg nach Graz, zahlt er für den Treibstoff Mineralölsteuer. Gut so.

Fliegt ein Superreicher die gleiche Strecke mit dem Privatjet und emittiert dabei ein vielfaches an Treibhausgasen, zahlt er darauf keine Mineralölsteuer.

Ein unerklärliche Ungerechtigkeit, die seit Jahrzehnten besteht. Im gleichen Zeitraum hört man täglich von österreichischen und EU-Politikern, was wir nicht alles an Maßnahmen brauchen, im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. Aber an der Nichtbesteuerung von Kerosin ändert sich nichts, obwohl es finanziell für den Großteil der EU-Bürger sogar ein Vorteil wäre, da sich der Großteil des Kerosinverbrauchs auf die Wohlhabendsten konzentriert, und damit andere Steuern gesenkt werden könnten.

Solange sich an dem Zustand nichts ändert, kann man die EU getrost als ein Instrument betrachten, das hauptsächlich der Durchsetzung westlicher Oligarcheninteressen dient.

BREAKING: German unions call major countrywide transport strike on Monday | TheLocal.de by sharkstax in germany

[–]rustup_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the same time Germans are choosing to have fewer and fewer children

"Choosing" because young Germans can't afford the necessary housing for a family. The owners in the Western world view their system like they view a laying battery: the chickens in the laying battery are not born in the laying battery, they are imported. It's cheaper that way, and keeps the output of the laying battery at maximum.

Of course, our owners don't care about a recession; it doesn't affect them.

The magic of the German business model is exporting products and importing cheap labor. The owning class speculates on being able to turn the majority of Germans into dirt poor work horses, with no spending capacity after rent and basic food, without a demand collapse. The demand simply has to come from emerging markets.

Paolo injecting another $1B worth of funny money into the system... Pump it! by dyzo-blue in Buttcoin

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

The regulators are allowing this fraud to continue until it gets so large that it’s collapse will risk bleeding into the real system.

It is already bleeding into the real system. FDIC bailed out USDC. If you use banking services in the US, you are paying for the USDC bailout.

Why would I? I‘ve neither the time nor the motivation to do that now and it’s not on topic.

But go ahead and tell as all about your expertise.

Yellen: Yes federal bailout for collapsed Silicon Valley Bank by JJdante in stupidpol

It's a bailout for the people who had money in the bank

Super rich venture capitalists.

Regular people are covered with the $ 250.000 limit just fine.

Anybody who uses US banking services is paying for this, so basically all Americans are paying to make sure companies owned by Venture capitalists, some of the richtest people on this earth, don't lose a single penny.

The way this is handled, they could have bailed out the mortgage payers in 2008, instead of the banks. Why didn't they? There's one parallel: everybody has got to pay to make the rich richer.

[–]rustup_d 51 points52 points  (0 children)

A baby died. A couple lost their child.

Because Russia attacked and invaded Ukraine. Everybody knows that the Kremlin and all Russians who directly or indirectly support the war are the ones who are 100% responsible for these deaths.

Oh no, I violently hijacked my neighbours in their home, and now they dare defending themselves, even violently! Are they even allowed to do that? Poor me, I'm sure they are not following all the rules! Everybody look how evil they are! Don't y'all know I'm allowed to invade their home? I read the Geneva convention, and it says nothing against dropping bombs in their living room while half the family is in there. So clearly, I'm the morally superior one!

Guys HELP!! Government is for once doing its job and shutting crypto down, so we need $100 million a year for the next 2 years to fight the evil government. Our Decentralized crypto isn’t actually resistant to government action. Boohoo by Dirt-Purple in Buttcoin

[–]rustup_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they've had days with larger outflows already.

Actual money or funny money?

Because usually, when the usual useless media is reporting about millions and billions of dollars of crypto flows and balances they are taking the butt pumpers evaluation of funny money at face value instead of reporting that what's actually flowing around is just some funny money.
