Also ich verstehe ja, dass die Umwelt schützenswert ist. Aber für ein paar Spatzen ein Projekt aufzuschieben, dass einerseits der Berliner Bevölkerung mehr Lebensqualität bietet. Und andererseits durch den Baustopp enorme Kosten verursacht.
Da hörts auf. Das ist einfach nur dumm und gehört abgeschafft. Für die Kohle, die da in den Wind geblasen wird, kann man den Spatzenbestand im Mauerpark verzigfachen. Eine Verschwendung ohnegleichen ist das, und ein Schaden an uns allen.
Ya interesting, your theory of mind checks out for me. I'm not "rich" as in "I have significant capital", but I'm certainly more "rich" than "poor". So yes, I don't notice it when I pay ~30EUR per month for a newspaper.
Are there any independent newspapers in your country? I Germany, there's taz, a daily newspaper that is owned by a cooperative. They certainly don't give a shit about the rich & powerful's opinion - for example, they publicly pissed off the editor-in-chief of Germany's biggest and most-powerful news corporation, Springer, just for the sake of free speech. Would you be willing to give money to that kind of newspaper?

I see your opinion, I’m curious to hear how you think about the media’s role in society. Journalists work at newspapers and they need to pay rent. A stance “paywalls are paid for by the rich and the stupid” kinda means that one doesn’t want to pay journalists.
I am genuinely curious about your perspective on this. Would you prefer a world without newspapers? Or is it more of a question of money? When I was younger, I didn’t have the money to pay for newspapers. Nowadays, I’m happy to pay for newspapers that interest me.
Every time someone pointed out they hate groups of people, in arbitrary subcategories, they got downvoted.
There, I fixed that for you.
Happened to us in 1933 already. Question is if we manage to remember what that lead us into. Will people make the same mistake twice?
To those saying Germany is experiencing the same dynamic that lead to the anti-democratic government takeover in the US: Hold your horses.
There are way more differences than that, but I’ll stop here. We’re far from what’s happening in the US. The trend is concerning though, and if the economic crisis continues, together with soaring inequality and the creation of an oligarch class of the super-rich, we might be in a bad spot in a decade or so.

Genius.
I work in tech in Germany. My coworkers and I are the ideal Tesla customers. Nobody I know would consider buying a Nazi car.

Karpov's construction of a series of increasingly large rice cookers led to a protracted deadlock, but exponential growth won in the end.

The Spanish capital boasts a long and unique tradition in menswear, particularly in footwear. Despite Spain's declining production of footwear over the decades, with much of it moving to Asia, Madrilenians still uphold a strong preference for high-quality leather shoes. The zapaterias, as the Spanish call their shoe shops, are concentrated in the old town, around the historical shoemaker's quarter in Caille de Toledo. However, they are omnipresent throughout the city and hard to miss. Let me show you four of my favorite zapaterias in Madrid.
Let's start by exploring the Spanish all-star-shoe, the "Pisamierda", which roughly translates into "sh*t stomper". These shoes, in design similar to Clark's Desert Boots, can be found in almost every Spanish household due to their affordable pricing. For instance, LOBO, a shop in Calle de Toledo, sells a pair made of suede for around 30 EUR link. It goes without saying that you should treat them with water repellent spray right after the purchase and avoid wearing them in moist conditions whenever possible - the suede is unforgiving.
On Calle Claudio Coello in the upscale Salamanca neighborhood, you'll discover a shop belonging to the Spanish brand Meermin. The shop is nice and spacious, with a small but nice inventory of boots, loafers and oxfords. The service is friendly, and they offer goodyear welted leather boots made of French calf leather for 200-300EUR per pair. Take a look at the image above to get an idea of what I'm talking about, or look through their webshop. While the price is fantastic, be aware of the increased variance in the shoe's quality. During my visit, I observed shoes with scratches in the leather and uneven stitching that were on display for sale. I recommend that you take your time to carefully inspect the pair of shoes that you're about to buy. If you do, you might score a pair of shoes that might otherwise cost you double at places like Redwing.
Berwick also sells shoes in Salamanca, on Calle de Hermosilla. The company, with two brick-and-mortar stores in Spain and one in Korea and Japan, offers a broader selection compared to Meermin. They specialize in goodyear welted constructions, and mostly use thick calf leather for their shoes. A pair of boots will cost you about 250EUR. Personally, I found the quality of shoes sold at Berwick to be superior to what I observed at Meermin, with less noticeable flaws. I highly recommend the destination.
In a league of their own are Tubet Zapateros in Caille de Núñez. While the vendors at Meermin and Berwick are nice and helpful, the staff at Tubet Zapateros takes it a step further. They will listen to your preferences, provide a selection of shoes for you to try on, and even put the chosen pair on your feet while sharing information about the craftsmanship. Tubet Zapateros stocks high-end brands like Allen Edmonds, Alden, Crockett & Jones and Carlos Santos. Be prepared to spend at least 300EUR for a pair of oxfords and at least 400EUR for a pair of boots.
bedankt!
