That is not correct. The European Union had already developed plans to reduce gas imports from Russia before the attacks on the pipelines. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has presented a ten-point plan aimed at reducing dependence on Russian gas.

Germany stopped gas supplies from Russia on August 31, 2022, which was a response to European sanctions against Russia due to the war in Ukraine. The attack on the Pipelines took place afterwards on September 26, 2022.

The prices for gas internationally went up because of the war in Ukraine. The import of gas from Russia to Germany would have been stopped anyway, even if the attacks on the Nord Stream Pipelines had not taken place.

The depicted scene is far too social. We all sat alone, each in front of our own computer, completely absorbed in the virtual world.

[email protected] - 2023:

Bei einem Lobbyevent der Superreichen auf Mallorca stellt die Firma Volocopter ihr #Flugtaxi vor, ranghohe #FDP Politiker:innen sind dabei.

2024: Das FDP-geführte #Verkehrsministerium möchte die Firma mit 150 Mio. Euro fördern.

Zufall oder wirkungsvoller #Lobbyismus?

Hintergrund: Volker Wissings Ministerium und Bayern möchten das angeschlagene Unternehmen trotz Sparzwängen und Klimakrise mit 150 Millionen Euro fördern, und das, obwohl Wirtschaftsprüfer von #PwC davor warnen.

Unsere Recherche letztes Jahr zeigte, dass Volocopter auf einem exklusiven Lobbyevent auf Mallorca ihr #Flugtaxi vorstellte. Mit dabei: die FDP-Politiker:innen Wolfgang #Kubicki und Ministerin Bettina Stark-Watzinger  

Mit umstrittener Vergabe von Fördermitteln war das Verkehrsministerium im letzten Jahr schon mal aufgefallen. In der Wasserstoff-Affäre bestätigte sich der Verdacht der #Vetternwirtschaft.

The dichotomy of individuals and society/government is just an illusion. The government consists of individuals too. And every systemic change that was achieved through legislation is crafted by individuals in the government, who as a group formed new principles. Every single time when a new law is created in a democratic society, there has to be a critical mass of people who bring up that topic.

I don't know where you live, but am not living in a kingdom or a monarchy where I look up to THE GOVERNMENT as some entity that decides over all the actions of the people, and to which I transfer full responsibility for my live and future.

As responsible people, we should not use the excuse that the system is against us when it comes to everyday life.

And by the way: a vegetarian or vegan or ecologically sensible lifestyle is not a "sacrifice", but the free decision to lead a healthy and sustainable life. If someone wants that for themselves and their family, then you don't wait for the government.

That doesn't mean that I am against regulation of the industry. I simply said, if someone wants to avoid taking antibiotics with food, it's a good reason to not eat meat.

I didn't say there's no difference in the technology used. But the results are quite comparable at the moment. Maybe that can be changed and further developed in future. But is much much more dangerous to implant than to put a cap on your head. So I say don't be fooled by the marketing of Neuralink.

I see those as complementary. In a democracy, political change can only come when individuals support it. Division is what prevents progress. Try to be decent and excellent.

Must be in the holodeck.

I know, but seeing the number of downvotes, it seems that many people still prefer to deny the problems.

I'm not sure right now: Is my above comment downvoted because I wrote "vegetarian" and not "vegan"? Or are there really so many advocates of meat consumption here?

Another reason to become vegetarian.

"Wenn Sie ... vom Stachus in München ... mit zehn Minuten, ohne, dass Sie auf eine Tram noch warten müssen, dann starten Sie im Grunde genommen am Hauptbahnhof ... am ... am Stachus in München starten Sie Ihre Reise. Zehn Minuten. Schauen Sie sich mal die großen Städte an, wenn Sie in Grunewald in Berlin oder sonst wo, meine se ... an der Alster äh in Hamburg oder in ...äh... in ... in...äh...in Hannover.

Wenn Sie sich mal die Entfernungen ansehen, wenn Sie Frankfurt sich ansehen, dann werden Sie feststellen, dass zehn Minuten... Sie jederzeit locker in Frankfurt warten, um ihre Bushalte zu finden. Wenn Sie vom ... vom ... vom Stachus starten - Sie steigen in den Stachus ein, Sie fliegen mit dem Flugtaxi in zehn Minuten an den Bahnhof...

Dann starten Sie praktisch hier am Stachus in München. Das bedeutet natürlich, dass der Stachus im Grunde genommen näher an Bayern ... an die bayerischen Städte heranwächst, weil das ja klar ist, weil auf dem Stachus viele Flugtaxen in Bayern landen werden."
