  • So, to condense the article:

    German car industry says:

    We are having a tough time! We’re thinking of closing our German factories, and ending our “We don’t fire people” Guarantee!

    Politicians, please save us by regulating our competitors and exempting us from sales tax on new technologies!

    Why?

    Because our primary source of money before, was selling in China (40% to 50% of earnings), and now Chinese EVs have taken over both China and the local market! So, with our shitty expensive EVs, we can’t compete, and, worst of all, China is buying less from us, so we are losing all that money!

    Opinion:

    German car industry means:

    We kept selling to the most vulnerable market and pocketing innovation money, and now we got out-innovated and that market is no longer vulnerable!

    Please give us tax-money and regulate our competitors away, otherwise we will make a political stink, and throw workers on the street!




  • I know you might be joking for hyperbole, but still. If you burn it, you can’t read what runs through their and their friends’ head, and you lose the historical value of having access to this period’s political pulse later.

    And I don’t think these books turn people fascist. They only consolidate them.

    If we want to stop fascism, part of the solution is stopping the root of the problem, where people become fascists. And our best bet on that is understanding.





  • Remember the premise, cheating is lying about the situation, and acting on those needs without consent.

    There is no world where that is healthier than whatever mutual agreement the couple could end up in, after honestly sharing their situation.

    If the care for the needs of the child is real and actually shared between the parents, anything ranging from a sexually open marriage, to a divorce with uninterrupted coparenting, is leagues better than pretending you want to be there while actually both having a bad time around your child’s other parent, and constantly lying.


  • If you don’t care about a relationship, the other person still might, and them being hurt should matter to you.

    End the relationship since you don’t care about it anyways, to let the other person move on with the least lies and sense of betrayal, and then fuck everyone you wish.

    Cheating isn’t a way to end a relationship, cheating is lying in order to keep it longer.
