Well, the fat cats just have the better lobby - no wonder, since most politicians at state and federal level belong to them anyway. And impressing corrupt politicians doesn't work when you don't have the cash to grease them (or their party) ...
And so we're eagerly steering into an increasingly polarized society and letting ourselves be told lies about reforms and minor reforms. At the next election, we get to decide again in which color we'd like to be screwed.

Herzog was already unsympathetic to me as Federal President, but this really takes the cake...
What kind of ridiculous idea does someone like that have about reality? Just because he didn't have to move his ass as a judge doesn't automatically mean everyone can have such a cushy job. How many workers destroy their health so badly that they can't make it through full-time work? How many barely earn enough to keep themselves and their families above water, but definitely not enough to finance additional private pensions from it? How great: work yourself to death your whole life, but then get paid off with scraps in retirement.

Funny suggestions for Python books that you might read if they existed. The 12-volume Zope series in particular would definitely be something I could use sometimes

It's a shame to see how a manufacturer with truly innovative processors in the past (I'm not just talking about the PowerPCs, but especially things like the 6809 or later the 68000) is gradually disappearing from the CPU sector. Motorola CPUs were always the most interesting processors for me - if you overlook the old Zilog processors. Well, everything comes to an end ...

An online backup service – that is, data backups via rsync and ssh to a central server. I was particularly struck by the following line in the waiver: Although Storever Online Backup will do the job most of the time, custommers should always consider that they have been lucky whenever they can recover lost data. That's really reassuring – that's how you sell a backup system! So you look at what the Storeever Offline Archive offers, since that's what Storever recommends when the customer wants security. And what do I find there in the waiver? Exactly: Although Storever Offline Archive is a secure and reliable service, it is not 100% reliable and involves risks which we can not control. In particular, custommers should always consider that they have been lucky whenever they can recover lost data. Wow. So with the low-cost product, I should consider myself lucky if I can restore a file. I can then pay even more per month, and I can still consider myself lucky if I can restore a file.
I don't know quite what to say, but somehow I get the impression that this is not a particularly confidence-inspiring product.

As long as it doesn't finally start doing social democratic politics, things will continue this way. Who should even be interested in a purely economically-oriented SPD? The Union can sit back grinning and simply block everything in the Bundesrat - it's cheap and costs no votes. And so the Union diligently blocks initiatives that it would never have dared to tackle itself. The SPD will never really attack this nonsensical behavior of the Union and exploit it politically - for that it would first have to be genuinely convinced of the nonsense it's spouting. So it keeps making compromises on top of compromises and in the end no compromise emerges, but only the compromise of the social democratic idea.
And society loses. What kind of future should we expect if the choice only exists between right and right?
