Die Kosten des Bahnhofs Stuttgart 21 liegen mit 14,5 Mrd. Euro höher als der Aufbau der geopolitisch transformativen Satellitenkonstellation Starlink mit etwa 12 Mrd. Dollar. Stuttgart 21 hat 23 Jahre Bauzeit, der Aufbau von Starlink dauerte 6 Jahre. Keine Pointe.

Children fear walking to school or playing outside because masked government agents may abduct them or their parents simply because they are nonwhite. That should haunt every American. PAXIS.app helps families prepare for ICE encounters and the aftermath. Use it. Keep it free: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.
