Wirtschaftssanktionen gegen Russland
Die Sanktionen gegen Russland haben die Wirtschaft zwar nicht zu Boden gebracht, aber angeschlagen. Nun orientiert sich das Regime in Richtung Osten.
Schwerpunkt: Krieg in der Ukraine

Der gesamte rechte Rand von mittlerweile guten Teilen der #Union über die rechtsextreme #noAfD bis zu den vollbraunen Kleinstparteien und Gruppen zeichnet sich durch zwei historisch eigentlich völlig unvereinbare Dinge aus: völkischer #Patriotismus sowie eine bizarre #Russophilie und #Moskauhörigkeit , für die es neben schlichter Dummheit (und davon viel) nur #Rubel (und davon noch mehr) als Erklärung gibt.
Easy way how govs could solve the Climate Change Crisis (solution)
a lot has been said & studied about the very expensive consequences of climate change (yes there is natural climate change, but human made climate change is on top)
need to talk & implement more solutions!

Sanktionen gegen Russland
Von Ulrike Herrmann
Der Westen wird den Wirtschaftskrieg gegen den Kreml gewinnen, aber nicht sofort. Er darf sich nur nicht von russischer Propaganda blenden lassen.
how the modern fiat money system works - what causes inflation?
first of: “economics” is where “believe” and “science” meet.
Often it is not clear, what parts of economics is “real science” and what is “make believe”.
What is for sure: all “modern” monetary systems are FIAT systems,
this means, some entity (state or bank, usually “independent” bank of banks)
So ask yourself: What gives money it’s value?
As it has no intrinsic value (it is not gold and since the 70s the US-$ is (thanks to Nixon and the Vietnam war) not linked to gold anymore).
The German Mark after ww2 was one of the first FIAT systems, economists predicted it will never work.
But it worked, because Germans worked hard for that paper money, even if it can not be converted to Gold or Silver or “guaranteed amount of bushels of grain” or this or that product of scarcity (that in the terms of grain, actually provide some purpose).
So does printing more money cause inflation?
Sure it does.
Ask yourself: What does a bank produce?
Actually a bank produces only one thing: loans.
If it does not produce loans, it’s like a factory with no output (lost it’s purpose).
The question is: If the banks fail at their core task, can the state step in, and lend money to citizens that want to create those innovative products = jobs?
Also What is the best way to battle inflation?
Imho it would be:
second best fix:
Thatcher did that it was not pretty.
Buying and selling stocks or real estate, is not investment, it’s speculation (not adding value to society in any sense).

Wer spielt hier mit dem angeblich "freien Markt"?
Machen wir es kurz: NEIN, auch wenn die USA das behaupten, so sind das eindeutig Fake News.
Was ist passiert?
Russland hätte bis vorgestern fällige Zinsen begleichen müssen und zwar 100 Millionen Dollar für zwei Fremdwährungsanleihen – 29 Millionen für eine auf Euro lautende Staatsanleihe mit Laufzeit bis 2036 und 71 Millionen Dollar für ein bis 2026 laufenden Kredit in Dollar. Wie Kreml-Sprecher Dmitri Peskow am Montag betonte, habe Russland die fälligen Zinsen bereits am 20. Mai überwiesen, fünf Tage bevor das vom amerikanischen Finanzministeriums erlassene Transaktionsverbot für russische Zahlungen in Kraft getreten sei.
Obwohl Russland die Zahlungsanweisungen über ein neues Verfahren bei seiner Zahlungsstelle National Settlement Depository (NSD) aufgegeben hatte, sind die Zahlungen nicht bei den Anlegern angekommen. Das Geld ist gesperrt, nachdem das amerikanische Finanzministerium am 25. Mai eine frühere Ausnahmeregelung gestrichen hatte.
Für Russland sind die Schuldverpflichtungen damit erfüllt. Wenn die Gläubiger nicht an ihr Geld kommen, müssten sie ein Konto bei einer russischen Bank eröffnen. Das war beim Abschluß der Kredite natürlich nicht so vereinbart, aber die Gläubiger werden im Westen wohl kein Gericht finden, welches ihnen ihr (im Westen) gesperrtes Geld aushändigen kann.
Zu der Nicht-Wirkung der Sanktionen gegen Russland hatten wir kürzlich eine Telepolis-Serie verlinkt und dieses neue Debakel für die betroffenen Gläubiger zeigt erneut, auf welchen gefährlichen Wegen die Sanktionspolitik wandelt. Irgendwann geht es nicht um 100 Millionen sondern vielleicht um mehrere 100 Milliarden und dann kann schnell die nächste Finanzkrise um die Ecke schauen. Bei Lehmanns ging es anfangs "nur" um 300 Millionen Dollar ...

The No.1 cancer enemy of society is: corruption.
It is in the West – it is (more obvious) in the East.
In the end this is Western cleptocracy vs Eastern oligarchy (cleoptocracy = oligarchy = when the super rich are in power)
There are very well trained doctors & intellectuals in Turkey (esp in the larger cities), while the countryside’s is still in the middle ages?
Double extremist standards:
While supporting ISIS Erdogan’s Turkey declares anyone that is agains him as a terrorist (sounds familiar? Mr Bush?) and demands (in this case Sweden) to extradite “the top 10” of the opposition abroad.
https://nypost.com/2019/09/21/why-isnt-the-media-covering-turkish-president-erdogans-ties-to-isis/
Whoever allowed Turkey into NATO (EU application failed) & Orban’s Hungary into EU is a good damn moron.
Both are corrupt egoistist that only care about their interest playing everyone like a violin while (of course) never having to stand trial.
simply run a search on Erdogans son
Or a search on Orbans closest political allies and homosexual gang bang drug parties in Brussels.(During corona lockdown!!!)
So: either remove Orban & Erdogan – or remove Orban from EU and Turkey from NATO, doing more harm than good.
Or even better: start something new that does not repeat those mistakes.

do smart phones make mankind smart?
no of course not.
thanks to capitalism, everyone has developed into maximally individual assholes
better technology, does not mean “better people culture” (ethical, moral, social competence)
mankind has a culture crisis
all the other crisis directly stem from this crisis
it’s no fun
everyone could develop as human being
but those most successful in capitalism actually stop developing as human beings because “why change? the banks love me”
everyone can do something, everyone could contribute something to society
but the current system does not value it
it (wrongfully) “values” the evil doers
and there we are, “stuck” with people you won’t want to spend time with and loads of evil & unsolved problems

It doesn’t happen often, but this time have to give cudos to “a classic” (very conservative, not very revolutionary thinking) economist Hans Werner von Sinn:
…. but not to endanger the 0% financed real estate bubble, where banks sell thousands of vacant buildings in Munich in a circle, IMF-ECB-La Guarde (“The Guardian” (of the banks)) does – nothing.
auto translated from: https://www.finanzen.net/nachricht/aktien/pessimistischer-ausblick-ex-ifo-leiter-hans-werner-sinn-prognostiziert-34-laengere-periode-34-wirtschaftlicher-unsicherheit-ezb-in-der-kritik-11282820
… unfortunately, nature decided, out of biodiversity reasons (make every individual an individual = very different from his brothers & sisters, in order to ensure that “at least one” will survive, fast changing circumstances (economic crisis, war, famine, climate change, meteoroids… u name it)
So sisters and brothers are by the design of nature – very different – thus having (sometimes) hard times – understanding each other – getting along with each other.
But IF they manage to accept each other – (and if it’s only by living next door, but never speaking to each other X-D) – things might work out.
Capitalism actually increased that acceptance problem, with some 1 to 10% doing very well (often) at the expense of the 90% (who pay their taxes) – WHILE looking down on the 90% as “bummers”.
or in other worlds: who want’s to put kid’s in a fu**ed up (non sustainable = it is going to end) world? (nobody)
Question: Is it any wonder – that in a system – that was not built for man, but for money “around money”, man will soon no longer appear?
Really?
I am not surprised (unfortunately).
So when “the system” – betrayed the middle class – because of lobbyism by the money of the top 10% (that sometimes “think” they are the “middle class”) – it “programmed” society – for the downfall of the middle-class (who to steal from? nothing to steal from the poor?) and the downfall of families.
It’s as simple as that.
And turning back the time – won’t help.
It won’t help driving old gas guzzling cars that need a portion of lead in the gasoline to actually function correctly.
There is only one way: forward. Into a sustainable economy that serves all. The sooner the super-rich realize this – the better. (but they will want to preserve the status quo until the very end (death)… so it’s a uphill battle for everyone else)

The Economic Reform the World needs
Dear reader,
Is a simple one, it can be put in one sentence, but to enact it, will require massive reforms:
Let’s compare two examples:
Which of the two cases add more value to society?
money wise case b) can create much more profit, but does it add value to society?
Given the fact, that a lot of houses are purposely left empty (not for rent), just to speculate on rising house prices? (a good example of the perversion that capitalism has become, if unchecked, by a smart, fast moving gov)
In this case, case a) does not only add more value to society, it also does not purposefully harm society as case b) does, by denying access to resources, people need to survive.
So pay those well, that ACTUALLY add value to society, and tax those high, that are malicious to society, and you have a nation that automatically creates value – in the true meaning of the word.
all those well-known tax heavens, need serious threats of boycott, if they don’t start changing their business model (Cuba style of trade embargoes).
Failing to do so, will seriously damage the trust of the people in democracy.
ok some philantrophy is better than no philantropy… but … look at this case:
Harvard’s “concept” of adding value to society:
“I think it’s important to remember where you came from.”
“Giving back is part of my core philosophy,” says Kim Wagner PhD ’94, who has given consistently to the Graduate School Fund for twenty years.”
“She came to the Graduate of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) for a doctorate in pharmacology, intending to go into academia.”
“Instead, she was inspired to take on the world of biopharmaceutical consulting.”
“I felt like an industry position was the best place for me to add value to society,” says Wagner, who spent the next twenty-five years at the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Company.”
let me translate that:
Here have to quote Bregman (again):
### “how to prevent a broad social backlash – the answer is simple – stop talking about philanthropy and start talking about taxes avoidance – taxes – taxes – all the rest is bullshit” (Youtube)
Dear reader, if you are reading this blog post, and dedicated time and brain-resources (energy) thinking about the value of it’s content – if it makes sense or not – how to improve it – what is missing – you just contributed positively to society as well!
What would contribute even more positively: the information from which, action can be derived from.

What is the difference between humans and animals?
As Dutch historian Rutger Bregman points out in his book “Humankind – A Hopeful History” genetic wise – not much (really would not mind if the reader skips all the depressing parts of this book… WARNING! THIS BOOK CONTAINS A LOT OF DEPRESSING ASSUMPTIONS, THAT MIGHT EVEN BE WRONG!).
Imho humans (should be able) to learn faster than other species.
So these are the two things everyone HAS to believe in:
With those two believes, come two questions:
Bregman & The Neaderthals
Mr Bregman makes COMPLETELY FALSE ASSUMPTIONS, that a bigger brain, would equal to more intelligence.
On average: women have smaller brains, are they less intelligent?
No: ‘”Just like with height, there is a pretty substantial difference between males and females in brain volume, but this doesn’t translate into a difference in cognitive performance,” Nave says.’ (labroots.com)
If that was true, the “sperm wale” (having the biggest brain of all animals), would already have build a swimming pool Mars.
What can not be ruled out, is that the “evilness” of homo sapiens accelerated the extinction of the Neanderthals.
BUT there might also been partnerships between them.
“results of a 2010 project to map the Neanderthal genome showed that 1% to 4% of Middle Eastern and European DNA is Neanderthal DNA” (shortform.com)
“Neanderthals were fairly specialized to hunt large, Ice Age animals.”
“But sometimes being specialized isn’t such a good strategy.”
“When climates changed and some of those animals went extinct, the Neanderthals may have been more vulnerable to starvation.” (si.edu)
Assumption: While homo sapiens (probably) was here and there in conflict with the Neanderthals, imho homo sapiens was not the deciding factor when it comes to extinction of this species.
Same as the mammoth, the neanderthals (probably) fell victim of:
… with ever faster climate change, a dire situation, homo sapiens will have to face too.
But have to say, yes Mr Bregman, homo sapiens “helped” many species to die out. But not all of them.
“The woolly mammoth (M. primigenius) was the last species of the genus.”
“Most populations of the woolly mammoth in North America and Eurasia, as well as all the Columbian mammoths (M. columbi) in North America, died out around the time of the last glacial retreat, as part of a mass extinction of megafauna in northern Eurasia and the Americas.” (Wiki)
During the time of the Dinosaurs, there were no homo sapiens (so this time can’t blame them)
Dinosaurs had no capitalism and clearly did not a good job at
Mankind could do better, but will it do it?
Because what is for sure: if mankind sees a crisis coming, and does nothing, everyone can see that chances of survival for mankind are not great.
Right now the evolution of technology is remarkable, but what has not kept up is the evolution of inter-human civilization in the sense of a civilized living together – sustainably (non-sustainable means: it is going to end).
Society was “programmed” by a fiat-loan-money system – basically giving the banks all the power, corrupt politicians (Clinton) removing important protections that were put in place in the past because of devastating crisis (1929), which is simply asking for trouble.
Who is going to steer this boat? profit?
What profit?
Profit of the 1%?
And then? The end of it all?
Settling on Mars will be a hard thing to do, especially if not a lot more of the 1% invest into
ok some rules clearly make no sense (some are from 1936 and definately need a rethinking).
Also Elon is right, when he says, there needs some sort of “garbage” collection of laws, otherwise, law is cluttered with laws that either make no sense or tie down everyone until nobody can do anything (because everything is forbidden).
BUT: the major problem is like with an old software system like MS DOS.
Can it be reformed? (very hard)
Or: (depending if the mess can be reformed, sometimes it might be better to “start from scratch”)
As with in software development: a list of cases needs to be kept, to test, if the new system can handle them all and better.
