That is the German name for flea markets. It’s when people sell old stuff they don’t want or need anymore in their garden/some square/the street.

Guess the creators are Germans…

This joke has gotten pretty old by now and only helps downplay the seriousness of their dangerous ideas.

Great image, love the vibe.

We might have that here, but half the people I know work jobs that still expect them to be on call all the time and would get in serious trouble if they turned of their phones during busy periods. So while yes, in theory it’s great, our toxic work culture seems to cancel it out quite well.

I always tell those guys they should quit it or sue the fuck out of those assholes, but no one ever does -.-

Not sure we can sustain any mega corps if I’m honest… but I get your point

Don’t get me wrong, fuck Jeff Bezos’ pampered ass. But growing a giant dystopian mega corp out of 250k is kind of impressive.

I know quite a few privileged people with more money than that and every chance in life one could hope for. None of them would be able to achieve anything close to what he did. They simply aren’t ruthless and megalomaniacal enough.

People in western nations are largely responsible for climate change. Someone in Syria won’t be flying around the world and buying new clothes all the time. But they will be the ones hit the hardest by climate change, so they will likely either die or become refugees trying to come to the west.

Also, a lot of our western wealth is based on exploitation of those nations (through colonialism and later capitalism or wars). So if westerners don’t want people from poor countries to come to the west they should help those nations to recover from that exploitation.

Furthermore we need to do these things, because a bigger influx of desperate migrants will steer western politics even further to the right. That’s never a great thing and will lead to more inequality and possibly the collapse of our democratic systems.

Finally to your point about migrants being more criminal. That is largely a result of worse economic circumstances and outlooks. Improve their chances and watch the crime rate drop.

Also zumindest anekdotisch ist meine Erfahrung anders. Kenne genug junge Leute die als Teenager bereits über Sport und Titten geködert wurden und mittlerweile Bild als einzige “Zeitung” lesen. Das macht Bild ja leider so erfolgreich. Die haben egal ob du auf Sport, Computer, Horoskope oder Klatsch stehst für alle was dabei.

Abgerufen wird’s dann meistens über die App, oder, wie von dir schon genannt, Social Media.

Jetzt wo du’s sagst, das wird interessant. Wenn die eh schon zu besoffenen Leute auch noch nach dem Zelt einen rauchen wird es auf der Kotzwiese sicher nochmal voller als es eh schon ist… aber vielleicht hilft es bisschen gegen die Schlägereien wenn die Leute entspannter sind.

Ich persönlich fände es sehr attraktiv abends im Riesenrad einen zu heizen und mir die Lichter anzuschauen.

Für mich hat das nicht zwingend was mit Bildung zu tun. Ist zwar nur anekdotisch aber in meinem Umfeld gibt es genauso viele Akademiker wie weniger gebildete Menschen die auf Populisten wie Söder, Merz und alles rechts davon reinfallen.

Meine Deutung ist, dass sich viele Leute mit der aktuellen Situation überfordert fühlen, sie sind unsicher, haben Angst oder sind wütend. In so einer Drucksituation wünschen sie sich einfache und schnelle Lösungen und ignorieren oft komplexere, unangenehme oder langfristigere Ansätze.

Ein Rattenfänger wie Söder, der mit einfachen, aber oft sehr kurzfristig gedachten Lösungsansätzen um sich schmeißt tut sich deshalb bei diesen Leuten leichter.

Das heißt nicht dass Söder die Sachlage nicht versteht. Ich bin mir sogar sehr sicher dass er sie sehr gut versteht. Er weiß aber auch, dass seine Wähler keine nuancierte Betrachtung des Problems wollen. Wer Angst hat oder wütend ist will einfach nur eine Lösung.

Hinzu kommt noch dass diese Wähler meist selbst keine Einschränkungen in ihren Lebensstil haben wollen. Da viele von Habecks Ideen mit persönlichen Einschränkungen verbunden sind, ist er auch deshalb deutlich unbeliebter. Söder hingegen schreit permanent nach mehr, da ist nie von Einschränkungen die Rede. Außer bei Migranten und Drogen und das betrifft seine Wähler nicht.

TLDR: Ängste, ohnmächtige Wut, Unsicherheiten und Egoismus sind Schwachstellen die von Populisten ausgenutzt werden. Diese Ängste mögen in bildungsfernen Schichten auf Grund einer schlechteren sozioökonomischen Lage weiter verbreitet sein, Bildung macht jedoch lange nicht immun.

Only time I heard about anybody asking for a 4 day work week recently was the GDL strike. So while I agree, it’s probably more of a tech thing, there are blue collar jobs fighting for it.

The jackdaw I’m really sure about, they are everywhere in that region.

Thanks for the praise and advice, it’s really appreciated! This image is basically not cropped at all, so unfortunately there is not too much I can do to try and reposition the rock (at least if I understand correctly what you mean). I also agree, tho focus is unfortunately a little off, but that’s just how things go sometimes.

Thanks, the compliment means a lot to me. The big one is a jackdaw, the small one I’m not too sure about…

Edit: On second look it’s probably a finch ;)

You inspired me to post my own image that I took there last year ;)

Shot this on a Canon R7 with a 70-200 Lens at Piz Pordoi. There were quite a few birds around and those two lined up almost perfectly.

Happy to hear some criticism or advice if you got any ;)

Sasso Pordoi? It’s such a beautiful area!

I know, but no one cares who’s responsible at the moment. What people care about is that they read a new article about Boeings planes endangering passengers every 3 days. So while Delta is most likely at fault, Boeing is gonna take the hit to the company image. That’s why I was specifically speaking about the Boeing PR team. Those guys and the crisis managers won’t be able to catch a break for a loooong time.

I agree with your comment, even though I have no idea on the technical aspects. What I can weigh in on is crisis management, especially communication.

Boeing needs to take control of the situation and actively start communicating and showing that they are working on fixing this thing. In Situational Crisis Communication Theory you would call it a rebuild approach. They tried denial, they tried downplaying, it’s not working. A rebuild strategy is usually the last resort, as things like admitting your mistakes and fixing them are rarely appreciated by investors. Furthermore it’s usually a huuuuge cost to do a recall on that scale. But Boeing need to show the public that they are actively working on improving the situation, to earn back their trust. So at least a partial recall should be considered.

You’re exactly right in your first paragraph about the news. The media and the public are very sensitive to Boeing quality issues rn. These articles won’t stop unless one of three things happen. Either Boeing gets their shit together and gets some effective crisis management and communication done, the company goes bust, or something else turns up in the news that replaces this. The third option will be the most likely, but it will also haunt them forever. It’s like that exploding galaxy note 7 situation. There were articles about that for every new generation of Galaxy Note, despite Samsung doing pretty well in investigating the issues. And while the following Note phones sold alright, the whole thing was a significant loss of trust and money for Samsung and enabled competitors like Huawai to catch up.

What they do right is having a duopoly with Airbus, and great military contracts. So investors know that even if things are shit rn, they will probably get better again.

Furthermore, while I agree that Boeing probably will not go bankrupt over this, the valuation sometimes is not a great indicator of what’s going on internally. Enron was worth over 60 billion. Half a year later they were at zero. Now I’m not saying Boeing is nearly that bad, but they are in some trouble for sure.

Working for Boeings PR department must be absolute madness right now… imagine having to somehow excuse all those fuck ups and every week there is a new one
