The german energy mix is pretty good actually. About 60% is renewable. And a lot the infrastructure was build during our last legislation period. The early transition off nuclear was definitely a mistake but nothing we can reverse now. But even if we count nuclear as renewable, Germany is still way ahead of most big countries.
I was never a big Leberkäse fan, but I go to Trier on a regular basis now. Do you maybe remember where you got your favorite Leberkäse from, because I always found the food in Trier to be either mid at best or hella expensive.
I don’t think that everyone will stop working just because they can. Even if everything even non essential goods would be provided for everyone, we would still produce luxury good, arts and services. So it would in the best case evolve into something like market socialism where everyone profits of of the chance to never have to work again. In the worst case we would be stuck with a system where few hold these unlimited resources and make people work by holding back essential goods despite being abled to provide for everyone. In both situations I think money would probably still play a role.
I’m getting into sewing right now. A cape will be my first project. Imma wear the shit out of my cape. Luckily I live in a place where people don’t really care about what you wear. I’ve seen capes in the wild before.
A Stop the genocide in Gaza graffiti was sprayed onto my university a few days ago (Germany I should mention). Uni tried to cover it up but it’s currently on display at the busiest part of the campus and I predict it will stay there for a while
The train ride actually reassured me that moving far away was the right choice. Where I live now the trains are on point and you see beatiful landscapes instead of coal reactors and warehouses while riding them.
Yea without disclosing anything too specific: I have to drive through cologne to get home. The entire region is having problems with floods, but my city is facing additional complications.
My train was stopped in the middle of my ride home because of a terrorist attack, I may have missed the last ever chance to celebrate with my great-grandmother because my entire extended family got COVID, my hometown is desperately trying to prevent a huge flood and when i found out that i would be sad and lonely on christmas my muslim friends ghosted me :) So its a mix of some circumstances.
All the left parties still push for it and are not willing to admit that it was a mistake. Our general secretary visited my local branch of my party to talk about the upcoming elections. Everything went extremely well until he made remarks about how going back to nuclear would be like devolving back into to a past era. I fear that fusion energy will be held back by the bad image of nuclear.
