Sehr interessante Zahlen aus dem repräsentativen Nachhaltigkeitsbarometer des www.rifs-potsdam.de/de: Katherina Reiche und Steffen Bilger machen Politik für 22 Prozent der Befragten. Und gegen die Wünsche einer absoluten Mehrheit. Das medial verkaufte Bild ist völlig verzerrt.
Alt-Text:

Gestapeltes Balkendiagramm zur Aussage „Die deutsche Regierung sollte weitere Maßnahmen ergreifen, um die … voranzubringen.“ Angaben in Prozent. Bei allen drei Bereichen stimmt eine Mehrheit zu:

Wärmewende: 12 stimme gar nicht zu, 12 stimme eher nicht zu, 19 teils/teils, 28 stimme eher zu, 24 stimme voll und ganz zu, 6 weiß nicht/keine Angabe.
Verkehrswende: 12 stimme gar nicht zu, 10 stimme eher nicht zu, 19 teils/teils, 29 stimme eher zu, 28 stimme voll und ganz zu, 3 weiß nicht/keine Angabe.
Energiewende: 12 stimme gar nicht zu, 10 stimme eher nicht zu, 18 teils/teils, 25 stimme eher zu, 33 stimme voll und ganz zu, 2 weiß nicht/keine Angabe.

Zusammengefasst wünschen sich 52 % (Wärmewende), 57 % (Verkehrswende) und 58 % (Energiewende) weitere Maßnahmen, während jeweils 22 bis 24 % dies ablehnen.

Quelle: Soziales Nachhaltigkeitsbarometer der Transformation (2026); Energiewende n = 3.145, Verkehrswende n = 3.421, Wärmewende n = 3.421; Abweichungen von 100 rundungsbedingt.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

i'm interested how the tech hype spiral progresses from feasible but too-soon promises, to unfeasible sci-fi nonsense, to 'you know what, fuck it, we're gonna cause a doomsday event and kill everyone' like that last step seems counterproductive, but maybe it's the only way to keep turning the dial

This is the deepest crisis of Western democracy since the Nazi era. Growing up in Nuremberg, I have learned that being anti-fascist is my first civic duty. There can’t be a question which side I’m on, as a human and an economist. As a student of FDR, I say: “I welcome their hatred.”

I thought this was just beautiful. Kurt Vonnegut takes a walk to mail a letter:
She calls out, “Where are you going?” And I say, “I am going out to get an envelope.” And she says, “Well, you’re not a poor man. Why don’t you buy a thousand envelopes? They’ll deliver them, and you can put them in a closet.” And I say, “Hush.”

I go next to the postal convenience center down the block at the corner of 47th Street and Second Avenue. The woman behind the counter says, “Thirty-nine cents for a stamp.” I say, “I only brought thirty-seven. When did that change?” She looked at me a long time. “Thirty-seven isn’t enough.” “Well that oughta be enough for one envelope,” I said. The line was getting longer. 

The lady moved her hand into her coat. I knew this routine. I backflipped behind the man behind me in line, wrapping my elbow around his throat as I landed. By the time the stamp seller had unloaded her clip, I had full cover. The gentleman’s body dropped to the floor, six holes smoking. The package he was carrying fell to the floor with a heavy clunk. Whatever was in there, it would do. 

I rolled my foot over the cardboard and did a “flick up” as they call it in soccer. I bounced the package once or twice on the back of my foot as the mail lady reloaded, then I launched it high and spun 360 to deliver my patented “Rising Phoenix kick”. The package caught fire as it shattered through the protective plexiglass window and struck the woman’s head with all the force and hatred I had learned to channel in my grueling tutelage under five fallen Wudang masters in my youth. The lady’s body exploded off of her bones, leaving just a blackened skeleton spinning in her office chair. “So it goes,” I said, but no one laughed. I guess they weren’t big readers.

And I go home. And I have had one hell of a good time.

We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something. We are here on Earth to fart around. Don’t let anybody tell you any different.

Die Linke hat in Berlin mehr Nicht-Wähler*innen mobilisiert als die AfD. Nicht-Wähler*innen sind vielfältig. Es lohnt sich immer und für alle Parteien, um sie zu kämpfen und sich zu fragen, welche Gruppen übergangen werden, welche nach Repräsentation suchen und welche sie aktuell verlieren.

We are back at rate hikes to fight a supply shock. Will this stop the war against Iran? Will it reopen the Strait of Hormuz? Will higher financing costs help build out renewables? No. But it risks pushing livelihoods & democracies over the edge.
