„Stadtweit massenhaft Gehwege in Parkplätze umzuwandeln, so wie es die SPD nun vorhat, ist ein Sicherheitsrisiko, insbesondere für Schulkinder und Senioren. Die Sicherheit der Menschen muss immer Vorrang haben. #RunterVomGehweg ‼️

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

It’s honestly disheartening to see a third runway at Heathrow pushed forward when we desperately need less aviation. Communities, climate scientists, and campaigners keep raising the alarm, and decisions like this show just how much work there’s still to do. #Climate www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Heathrow's plan for longer third runway chosen by government
Under the selected plan, the runway would be up to 3.5km long and require a new road tunnel under the airport.

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say

Bitter ist vor allem der Schluss von Thorsten, der seit 40 Jahren bei Volkswagen arbeitet:
Werkstolz gibt es nicht, aber als abhängig Beschäftigter hast du keine Wahl, wenn du statt Autos Panzer bauen sollst.
Denn dein Job ist ein LEBENSMITTEL, ohne dem du nicht leben kannst.
Furchtbar.

This is funny because after the "re-opening" of Friedrichstraße for cars not people, it is the eighth most dangerous road in all of Germany.
Because of the car brains in the current government. It is and remains a farce.

The Friedrichstraße in Berlin is getting a make-over. The design is very close to what the Greens had tried to do, and what the CDU campaigned massively against.
Much like debt brake reform. Or the lowered industry electricity price. www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/die-l...
