Friedrich Merz im Sommerinterview:
„Die Schweizer arbeiten 200h mehr als die Deutschen“
Steuer- und Abgabenbelastung auf den Durchschnittslohn.
🇩🇪 Deutschland: 40%
🇨🇭 Schweiz: 15%
Merz ist Kanzler. Er könnte es ändern.
no one hates language models more than natural language processing researchers
who spent their entire lives with the goal of making nlp systems with their deep linguistics knowledge to prove how smart they were
only to get bitter lessoned and thrown to the side like trash

Eigentlich müsste das die reichste Generation aller Zeiten sein.

Was ist schief gelaufen? 🤔
Europe is building a de facto two-tier society when the law bends depending on who you are.
Natives who pay the taxes, buy the tickets, and follow the rules still get checked and fined, while a privileged class evades fares, ignores borders, and escalates when confronted.
But inspectors and police just tiptoe because enforcement has become too risky or politically toxic.
Italy’s transport controllers checking only Italians while giving migrants a pass is the daily reality.
And when this same pattern repeats across crime, welfare, and public order the message becomes clear that the social contract is optional for some.
Eventually, the people who built the civilization will eventually stop obeying rules that no longer bind everyone equally.
This selective application of the law guarantees a revolt. The “when” depends on how far the people will tolerate it.
