    I don’t know where this “they tried hitting war infrastructure” myth comes from.

    Same with the bombing in Germany. They literally rebuild German city houses in the desert, to figure out the best way how to blow off the roof and set the wooden structures inside on fire.

    They measured fire brigade response times to stage the bombing in a way to hit the rescue efforts.

    It was about demoralizing the civil populace, so of course it was never about military targets.


  • I mean, would be neat to make something like “I want to fly there, so give me options, check also for rental cars and vacation homes with this-and-those constraints, give me a list and prices” and have it have a go on it. That would really make family vacation easier if I could trust the results.

    But, lo and behold, I cannot trust the results at all, so it keeps being a fantasy (which destroys the world in the meantime, like, ecologically and economically). Then again: after destroying everything, no need for family vacation planning, so, yeah?








  • Nobody remembers anything anymore, feels like. Back in the day, when Nord Stream was envisioned, the public opinion on Ukraine in Germany was “that is this corrupt post-soviet cleptocracy which steals our gas from transit pipelines”. Like, there were Russian AND German official investigations which came to the conclusion, that there’s gas going amiss during transit.

    The whole gang who’s now into “Nord Stream was so wrong” basically was on a witch hunt against “those Ukrainian thieves, who steal our gas”, all those tabloids, media and everybody, which are now oh so smart about it 🙄.


  • Yeah, because breaking the inflation pressure is always on the workforce, never on the companies.

    I only ever heard “you should abstain from wanting higher salaries, 'cause inflation”. Never has a politician or economist said “companies should abstain from raising prices, 'cause inflation” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
