Thats not how embassies work. Embassies aren't a 'you get out of jail free' card. Hitler or Putin couldn't just hide at an embassy and thats it.

Itt works in a way, that one state offers a second one a piece of land under its protection. That piece of land belongs to the second state as long as the first state allows it. If they want to claim it back, they have to go through a formal process.

Thats why the actions of Ecuador are unheard of: they offered Mexico a piece of their land under their protection. And then they violated it.

Israel attacked an embassy of Iran under Syria's protection. Thats not off the limits but of course can be seen as an attack from both countries.

Just 20 more years of research. At least text was predicted 1990. And 2000. And 2010. And 2020. And last year.

Thats basically how its done in most of Europe. Price changes every 15 minutes and some smart system starting washing machines etc if a certain threshhold is reached.

Of course you can also get a hedged contract where you pay a fixed price and don't need to care about it, but you have the choice.

Okay... i should have made it more precise: attacking a foreign embassy on your own ground. Basically the idea of an embassy is that its protected by the state, in which is located and its counted as soil of the embassies state.

Here is it explained in more detail: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/02/world/europe/interpreter-israel-syria-embassy.html

Still. Raiding embassies is the worst you can do. Its basically an invasion of a foreign country. Even states like Russia do not do that.

The main question is: what's wrong with the other 155 districts?

The party, who claims that all other parties are 'traitor of the people'. Its all projection.

Shes is actually perfect for that. She outperformed in 2023, but underperformed in 2022. You would expect a Gaussian distribution around the mean. And if you include every congress member, you get a Gaussian distribution, shifted slightly to the left.

This is quiet a bet. All congress members are distributed in a Gaussian distribution around the S&P 500. So copying everyone would just give you the same average. So you would have to pick the members, who outperform consistently. But this changes year over year. For example Pelosi outperformed in 2023, but underperformed in 2022.

And at that point you could just buy individual stocks – or even better: stick to a market neutral ETF.

Thanks! This completly debunks the insider trade myth. You would expect a Gaussian distribution around the mean, which would be a market neutral index. And you get even a slightly to the left shifted Gaussian bell curve.

So its fake news because he isnt a member of the green party – and actually never was an advocate of the end of nuclear energy. He was vocal about increasing the run time of nuclear reactors in the public, actually. Also, all german parties – except for the far right – were part of the process and at one point or another confirmed it. There is just no majority in Germany for nuclear power. One of the reasons is the high price (see France, which needs to subsidize their energy prices with billions each year to stay competitive), but also the problem with nuclear waste, which no one wants. Its not like in the US, where we have lot of empty space where no one is bothered.

Still, the public debate is intense, even though nuclear power was only at 5–10 %. Meanwhile in the last year alone renewables producing 4 % of the energy demand were built. And each year lost by debating, more fossil fuels are burned.
