What is real, what is dream, what is nightmare?
White Christmas …
That had been last year, one of the rare occasions we have had snow in Changsha. There is also a weird Christmas … for some. Branko Milanovic posted on the 26th of December 2021 I hardly knew about the existence of Christmas when I was a child. Both the 25th of December and the 7th…
Not the Grand Finale … – … Yet
Not even in terms of work – remember Engels’ remark on labour and work, qualifying work as the activity that is paid for by wages, labour a (specific) physical activity. Still, it is time to say another time good-bye as done earlier (and here) – this time from a sideline activity, I could without much exaggeration…
Why not?
Nowadays, it is so often that we receive emails or messages on the answer phone, informing that at the moment an increasing number of mails and phone calls has to be looked after – so they ask for understanding that things take a little bit longer. In particular since the outbreak of corona pandemic’s outbreak…
Deutsche Bahn, progressing and progressive?
fake news or pipe dream? Fake News or Pipe Dream – October 4th, 2022 Dear Professor …, I am sure that you have also been aware of the current discussions about climate change, for example due to exorbitant ‘private transport’/’use of private cars’. Deutsche Bahn is also not unaffected by this development – and we…
Too small?
Lack of protection of the environment – and mind: we are “part of the environment”. There are the major incidences, misbehaviours …. And there is progress although one is wondering about the direction. Indeed, information is crucial – and in particular when it comes to environmental issues. Consequently, we receive all the infos: printed on…
One can say it this way …
But there may be a better way … Now, after we move – slowly but surely – towards winter, we are worrying about the price for energy. A friend recently said so. Sure, really worrisome – not least as there is only little progress in the area of regulating the price for accommodation, thus increasing…
deals
I receive a mail, a friend sending me the latest news: a deal, hammered out to counter the energy problems, failed in the last minute. A problematic deal then? The basic problem might be that it is not about deals, but about strategies, as global as possible. This also includes considering how to prevent a…

Nieder mit dem Koenig ….
Die Verehrung des Adels hält sich hartnäckig und ebenso seine Macht. Selbst in der EU muss man mit Verwunderung – oder doch nicht mit Verwunderung? – feststellen, dass die Könige und Königinnen noch fest im Sattel sitzen. Brexit hat verhindert, dass wir nun alle gemeinsam feiern ein tolles Jubiläum können … Aber es gibt Widerstand…
War …
… it is an ongoing issue, though some people like to make us think in a reduced way about it … – and see it only as matter international law. Here another take: Something from The Economist’s e-newsletter, received on the 26th of May, a headline saying Why America should make it harder to buy…
