Knowledge is elitist. Education is snobby. Expertise is detached. The only way to be truly "democratic” is to crowd-source reality. That has been the political vibe of the last ten years, not just in Britain, and it is the road to ruin. The pandemic probably didn’t help.

The oldest trick in the climate delay playbook: 1. Rule out all other measures as unnecessary and counterproductive because we will introduce CO2 pricing 2. Then rule out CO2 pricing because it would make things unaffordable 3. Checkmate

Gerade geht es um Differenzierung in verfassungsrechtlichen Themen. Plumpst #Serrao von der NZZ bei #Lanz herein und offenbart seine gänzliche Ahnungslosigkeit von den verfassungsrechtlichen Voraussetzungen eines AfD-Verbotsverfahrens. Seine größte Sorge offensichtlich: nur nicht die AfD verbieten!

Thinking about these guys

Financial Times: "I feel liberated," said a top banker. "We can say 'retard' and 'pussy' without fear of getting cancelled...it's a new dawn."

Some Wall Streeters also feel able to embrace making money openly, without nodding to any broader social goals. "Most of us don't have to kiss ass because like Trump we love America and capitalism"

Geld regiert die Koalitionsverhandlungen: Sondervermögen oder Schuldenbremse, jetzt oder später? Joel S. Bella hielt eine entsprechende Grundgesetzänderung durch den Alt-Bundestag für verfassunswidrig, GREGOR LAUDAGE erwidert: Der Bundestag bleibt kompetent. verfassungsblog.de/sondervermog...

Zitat aus dem aktuellen Text unseres Autors Gregor Laudage: „Bis zum Zusammentritt des 21. Bundestages vertreten die Abgeordneten des 20. Bundestages ausdrücklich das ‚ganze Volk‘ [...]; wenn 2/3 dieser Abgeordneten das Grundgesetz ändern wollen, sind sie dazu hinreichend demokratisch legitimiert.“

1/What do the KTF, the autobahn and the chimney sweepers' pension fund have in common? They are all part of the wide landscape of off-balance-sheet fiscal agencies (OBFA) in Germany and therefore part of our new working paper with @agutersandu.bsky.social @steffenmurau.bsky.social and Armin Haas.
