Think about

Why is there a Street of the 17th June – today’s date – in Berlin? 🇩🇪 The Strasse des 17. Juni (Street of 17th June) is a major thoroughfare between the Brandenburg Gate and the Great Star Victory Column. It’s a well-known venue for mega-events, having variously hosted the Love Parade, 2006 Football World Cup and the Berlin Marathon. This year, it forms part of the awesome Berlin Fan Mile for EURO 2024. ⚽ But what’s the significance of the date? 🇩🇪 Formerly known as Charlottenburger Chaussee, it was renamed to commemorate the events of 17th June 1953. On that day, economic and political dissent in East Germany blew up into a major uprising in Berlin and beyond. About a million people were said to have taken to the streets. 🇩🇪 Initially peaceful demonstrations turned violent and over 50 people died. Many protesters were killed during clashes with police and Soviet troops. Others were subsequently executed or died in custody. Around 15,000 people were arrested. The day was declared a public holiday – the Day of German Unity - by the West German government a year later. 🇩🇪 Is 17th June still celebrated today? 🇩🇪 The Berlin Wall came down on 9th November 1989, marking the beginning of the end of the division between East and West Germany. Reunification was officially completed on 3rd October 1990. Since then, the Day of German Unity is celebrated on 3rd October. Today's date remains a day of remembrance.

Do you know how to show people the difference between W, VA and VAR ? Here's a perfect example 😃😃

This is how a society becomes "future-dumb".... "The energy transition is an illusion. It is total nonsense." And "We can't be without fossil fuels." Says Stefan Aust, the editor in chief of a major German news group (WELT). This points to an underlying reason why Germany and other western nations are loosing competitiveness. Holding on to the past and willingly believing misinformation and disinformation. And ignoring evidence for the contrary of which there is plenty. If he were just an ordinary citizen at the bar, it wouldn't be a big deal. But he is a very influencial figure in Germany. This clip is already making rounds among the notorious enemies of progress. Without showing the hosts' pushback. This is how a society becomes "future-dumb". This is how polarization grows. The good thing is that renewable energy is growing massively. Also in Germany. Because it is a profitable investment. Economically, ecologically and socially. Fortunately, entrepreneurs have skin in the game, and therefore don't care about the alternative universe this man (and many others) lives in. Investments in coal, gas and oil are declining. Most will become stranded assets ( i.e. rather liabilities) in a not to distant future.

Almost 30% of Austrians support the idea that making Austria a fortress against immigration is going to solve their problems or the problems that humanity, including the little nation-state, is facing. Or is it faulty wishful thinking: let us save ourselves while the world collapses...? And this after the historically worst 4 day rain that the country has faced since records have been kept. The answer: let's vote for the ones who still deny that climate change is human caused... And this ... two days after members of the FPÖ were seen (and have been charged for "Wiederbetätigung" or Nazi reactivation) at the funeral of a party member where SS-songs were sung... Wurstegal. A sad day. The positive part: Possibly there will be no coalition with the FPÖ, even though the conservatives (ÖVP) might betray their declared distancing from them. And we have a Green President who is very reluctant to ask the winner to build a government.
