AfD-Bundesvorstand Gottschalk holt Rat bei Trumps ehem. ICE-Kommandant Gregory Bovino:
„Could we do the same in Germany?“
„Absoluteley…I‘m a phone call away“
„Maybe I can invite you to the Bundestag and you give us some ideas for Germany“
„The Germans are very good in this“
Rund 14 Mio Arbeiter aus der Türkei, Korea, Italien, Marokko, usw. haben der BRD nach dem
WKII dabei geholfen, zu einem der reichsten Länder der Welt zu werden. Ohne sie hätten wir später niemals den Soli für den Osten stemmen können. Dankt Ihnen und hört auf zu jammern.
New York City is slowly sinking under the immense load of its urban infrastructure. With more than one million buildings spread across its five boroughs, the city ranks among the heaviest urban areas on the planet. Researchers estimate that these structures collectively weigh about 1.68 trillion pounds (762 billion kilograms), roughly the same as 1.9 million fully loaded Boeing 747 aircraft.
This enormous mass is contributing to a geological process called subsidence, in which land gradually sinks over time. On average, New York City is subsiding at a rate of 1 to 2 millimeters (0.04 to 0.08 inches) per year, with some neighborhoods experiencing faster rates of up to 4.5 millimeters (0.18 inches) annually.
While the buildings play a significant role, they are not the only factor. Many areas rest on soft soils, clay layers, or artificial fill that compress more readily under pressure. Additional influences include groundwater fluctuations and the long-term effects of post-glacial rebound from the last Ice Age.
Individually, these small annual shifts may seem minor. However, when combined with rising sea levels, which are increasing faster than the global average around New York — the relative risk of flooding grows steadily. Low-lying coastal neighborhoods, infrastructure, transportation networks, and waterfront areas are particularly vulnerable.
New York is not unique in this regard. Many major global cities, including Jakarta, Shanghai, Mexico City, and parts of Tokyo, are also experiencing notable subsidence.
Although the process occurs too slowly for daily notice, its cumulative effects over decades can be substantial. New York’s iconic skyscrapers are not at risk of sudden collapse, and the city faces no imminent disappearance. Still, this phenomenon serves as a compelling reminder that even the world’s greatest metropolises remain subject to the slow, powerful forces of geology.

@NikolausBlome Was wir wirklich brauchen ist die Abkehr vom Materialismus. 40 Jahre arbeiten, das ist in vielen Berufsgruppen im Vergleich zur Welt doch recht aussergewöhnlich.
Man könnte in Deutschland auch mit Fug und Recht von einem allgemeinen Arbeitsfetisch sprechen.
@0_7_user Ich meine es ging in dem Fall auch darum, dass kein sachlicher Bezug im Kommentar hergestellt worden ist.
Es gibt ja durchaus Fälle, in denen Politiker nachweislich das Gegenteil von dem taten, was sie versprochen hatten (zb in Abstimmungen). Da haben die also geflunkert.
@latecurve Mit 40 musste dich langsam entscheiden, was noch zu tun ist. Viel Zeit bis zum Greisenalter bleibt da nicht mehr. Dedwegen gibt es auch die Lebensmittelkrise, den Leuten wird das bewusst.
