Thanks to Denmark, Greenland already enjoys free healthcare and free education from primary school to master’s level (and even higher education). Denmark guarantees a minimum wage of around $20 per hour, five weeks of paid vacation, and up to 52 weeks of paid parental leave. Greenlandic citizens also have access to comprehensive social security, including unemployment benefits, pensions, sick leave, and maternity leave.

In contrast, the U.S. offers no universal healthcare, no free higher education, no guaranteed paid vacation, and no paid parental leave. The minimum wage in the U.S. is significantly lower, and Americans face greater economic inequality, higher poverty rates, and weaker social protections. Denmark, meanwhile, ranks among the least corrupt countries in the world, ensuring strong democratic rights and a high standard of living.

Why would Greenlanders give up these extensive benefits for a country that doesn’t guarantee even the basics of social welfare?

@frank_thelen Das ist Desinformation. Ich würde diesen Post lieber löschen. Deutschland kann seinen Strombedarf jederzeit selbst decken, es bestand nie die Möglichkeit eines „Blackouts“.

When Steve Jobs returned in 1997, he had 90 days to save Apple from bankruptcy.

Everyone in Silicon Valley thought it was doomed.

Steve was right. Everyone was wrong.

It's the comeback story of the century and every entrepreneur must know how he did it 🧵:

Vorgestern im Taxi. Ein Thread. Der Taxifahrer ist Deutsch-Palästinensisch. Wir unterhalten uns, er fragt mich, was ich mache. Journalistin, sage ich, wo, fragt er, @Tagesspiegel, sage ich. Wie wir denn über #Gaza berichten würden?

Ja. Sehr unverständlich. Da wirst du überfallen, deine Leute werden getötet, massakriert, vergewaltigt, deportiert. Deine Land wird besetzt, deine Infrastruktur zerstört und du zeigst keinerlei Kompromissbereitschaft. Skandal!!
