@its_mccarthy Congrats Mike! Well deserved.

@Aidan_Regan He and many in the FDP think that it will help them win back fiscally conservative voters, who currently favor the CDU. Btw, the fascist AFD party also favors auaterity.

@Aidan_Regan It's not the country, it's not the government, it is the finance minister, who is also the head of the smallest party of the government coalition FDP. They are struggling for survival as their polling numbers show them below the 5% entry treshold of the Bundestag.

🚨For the DFG-funded grant "Insuring Modern Societies" at @FU_Berlin I am hiring a 3-year post-doc position (100% research). Let's study the political economy/economic sociology of private insurance together! We are a young team and it's Berlin👇

@christianbaye13 @MikeDeeeeeee @bruck_68 @DB_Bahn In D übrigens je 4h für FFM-B und M-B. Das ist nicht schlecht.

@christianbaye13 @MikeDeeeeeee @bruck_68 @DB_Bahn Nicht wirklich, Rom-Mailand ist die Verbindung zw. der politischen und der wirtschaftlichen Hauptstadt des Landes. Vergleichbare Verbindungen gibt es sonst nicht, erst Recht nicht mit der Qualität und Frequenz. Und wenn man an die Ostküste möchte, reist man in der Zeit zurück.

@benwansell Interested to see whether the numbers hold up when one asks if being born in England is important for being considered 'truly English'.

@fabolange @ben_moll 0,3-2,2% were the estimations. Given the various crises in the last 15 years, this can be considered as slight.

[Alex Spielau @AlexSpielau]

@iamgettingwiser @ben_moll Yes, I agree.

While it is not the only sector important in the economy and for growth, it is certainly a central one, and its problems have the potential to spill over into the broader society and economy, important for the study of consequences of European heterogeneity. 13/13
