Words form realities. We have to start spelling out what is wrong and what is right. The press is called the forth power for a reason!

It is wrong to sell this island to the Trumps. It is wrong to build a rich people disney land.

This island should be a protected area. A natural habitat.

Can we please stop speaking of „development“ when some billionaires start throwing money at a natural habitat that should be protected. Instead it will now become some kind of uber rich disney land.

Just to add to it: This is by no means my own opinion. It just shows the conservative playbook.

It’s the on going debate in German politics and media. Now-chancellor Merz focused his whole campaign in 2024 around „no debt“ (Schuldenbremse, schwarze Null). The first thing he does after becoming chancellor in 2025 is a 500 billion euro package (because of Ukraine, which is fair — but was completely against the campaign proposal) only for defence and infrastructure. In turn the coalition now argues that they cannot maintain „Bürgergeld“ (social welfare) or invest into education. People have to „work more“ because of the debt.

There is no need to cut welfare spending for the sake of defense. Europe can afford both, and must. Once again, Mr. Sanchez doesn’t appear to talk for his country and Europe but rather pursuing interests of others.

Well, in Germany the story is told the other way around: Now that we are investing in more defence, we have to cut social welfare.

In Germany we have an initiative called Freifunk (roughly „Free Wireless Radio“). They are building free wifi mesh networks in larger cities. Their members use their ISP connection with special mesh network router software. The initiative collects donations to improve their infrastructure and fend off liability claims.

Edit: There has been a thread about Freifunk here already.

For sure!

The guy showed them the finger. That was the only truth I was talking about.

Truth to power!
