>>19980I can understand that they want to keep their jobs, but protesting against doing things in a (at least in the long run) faster and cheaper way seems to be futile. Since more and more jobs will be affected in the future, we should be starting to search for ways to define our existence / distribute resources in a world where work becomes less and less important.
I like that by the way, because instead of making people happy that they have more spare time, it will likely spark another wave of depression, because after the loss of religion/spirituality as a reason for living, any illusion of the need to work to sustain existence will also fade away. The question of why we are here and what we should be doing with our time will become more pressing, even more so when our lifespans continue to increase.
Summary: We'll have more and more time, but are given less and less reason to do something with it.

Of course, this will be another hefty blow to the German economy, after the CIA blew up nordstream and blamed Russia for blowing up their own pipeline.

Situation: Most american exports are now non-physical (software, entertainment) or have a low tonnage-to-value-ratio. (ICs, Jet engines, antibiotics, IPhones.) The USA has no need to import massive tonnage of key ressources, they have their own.
>n ports and rail infrastructure if they could get big and strong economies by shutting them downThe American electorate is fed up with other countries taking the stable manufacturing jobs from them.
Strategically, America has the possibility to eliminate competitors, and, if this should not be possible, at least keep them out of their own market to eliminate dependency on increasingly unstable trade partners. One method would be raising the cost of imports while impacting the cost of exports in a compartively smaller measure. (done.)
>I suppose one wonders why governments even invest in ports and rail infrastructure if they could get big and strong economies by shutting them down.I suppose one might be tempted to assume that a person pretending to be educated would be able to work out a key difference between ports and railways. Hint: Ports are only for external trade.

The costs of German reunification (an act of madness Helmut Kohl committed out of pure self interest) are hard to guestimate, but the probable range after 34 years is somewhere between 2,000 billion and 3,000 billion, and growing by 100 billion per year. That is about Germany's total government debt.
But that paints an incomplete picture, the situation is worse. The debt burden lessened West German gdp growth, gdp per capita could be much higher. This cost aggregated over my working life could easily be another 600,000€.
First, they blackmailed us: "kommt die d-mark, bleiben wir, kommt sie nicht, geh'n wir zu ihre" - either the d-mark is introduced or we will all go to west germany. They chanted that at protests. This is when West Germany should have closed it's borders and told them to stick their demands were the sun doesn't shine. Instead, they were given the west German currency, and literally thousands of billions in handouts on top of that. Since then, they complain that evil west Germans came and stole all their socialist achievements.
These "people", in the vaguest sense of the word, owe me 1.000.000€.
And that's just ossis. All the money that went to EU and non-Ossi-immigrants not included. The cost caused by an artificially low currency not included. Downward pressure on wages caused by immigration not included.
During the past three to four decades, every single west German, man, woman, child, senior citizen, was robbed of millions of Euros, by the failed policies of reunification, open borders, eu-membership, the Eurozone, etc.

Oh, and climate change is going to destroy the world economy with natural disasters not by 2100 or. 2050, but this decade. Collapse is not coming, collapse is here. Now.

I wish the best for Ukrainians, they're our brothers. And this is why Ukrainian state should be abolished. There is hardly anything good which I can say about it. It's a totalitarian proxy state which uses its population as a cannon fodder for American empire. Its ideology is built on hatred, larp, lies and betrayal. Even replacing current Kiev/Washington administration with current Moscow administration would be a huge improvement.
