We are so lucky that the pharma industry ist the most ethical industry in the world. They never do anything bad just out of profits. Good that so many on this board are pro coercion into Pfizer© mrna vaccines. Even better that this post will be downvoted as users will assume sarcasm?. Otherwise the cognitive dissonance might be apparent to some of the users, that never in their entire life fell for a scare mongering campaign.
Genuine question. Why this gaslighting? Have you been living under a rock in 2020? You don't care at all about a source, the only thing you want to to spread confusion.

Re:Why people make dumb financial decisions on purpose on Saturday September 03, 2022 @01:25PM (#32704049)
Everytime you book additional insurances that cover small amounts of money. Like a airplane ticket insurance (that only covers the fee of the ticket if you cancel). Or a additional rental car insurance. Assuming that Insurance companies are not stupid and only offer an Insurance that is +ev for them, that means its -ev for you. If you are in the financial situation that 1-5k$ wont ruin you its rational to NOT take these kind of insurances.

Every spot in life that you encounter that can be seen purely from an EV perspektive should be played as that. Only exceptions are longtail ruinous outcomes, like House Fire insurance, Health Insurance. Thats why in many western nations these types of insurances are mandatory.

The FSB [0] is financing western NGOs and political parties to fight against Nuclear Power and to promote energy policy and solutions. [1] This Discussion is pointless without acknowledging that fact. This is also just the tip of the Iceberg where the KGB (Gazprom) was caught, it would be naive to believe that thats all they did.

This influence imo explains ignorance of German politicians regarding Energy Politics. We have to balance two goals here. 1. Stay energy diversified for national security. 2. Reduce use of fossil fuels to combat climate change.

The figures that are often presented of germanys high Renewable electricity production are so misleading they could be straight from a KGB office. If we really want to tackle point 1. and 2. We can't just magically ignore heating, transportation, heavy Industry and fertilisers. All these run on fossile fuels right now. The Longterm goal has to be transition to EVs, Use synthetic fuels for aviation, heat with heat exchangers (60% of new build homes in germany are equipped with them). So just conveniently ignoring these massive energy demands and talking about sustainability is delusional.

With all these energy requirements it becomes pretty obvious that germany can not produce all that energy with just Solar and Wind. It can also not store enough of this energy for 82 millions people for periods of low sun and low wind.

The best time to start building nuclear plants was 10 years ago, the second best time is today. Fusion will not be on time here. Sweden and Finland solved the end storage problem. Which is imo a talking point purposefully propagated by foreign adverse Intelligence Agencies. After all noone give a f** where and how all the Highly toxic chemicals are stored. (The are stored in the same way, deep down in Salt mines).

I think a cold and painful winter will be good for the german people. I compare them to the Antiwaxxers for child vaccines. They lived in such a good period of time and never saw a child with chickenpox or measles, so they think its not an issue anymore. You can talk to them and explain the danger they are in as much as possible. They will laugh and scream at you. They have to suffer for one winter to understand the importance of national security and energy independence. Even right now, so close to the disaster winter, many germans are ignorant and think they will solve it with 20kg of burning wood.

The Winter is comming.

reading from your history, you seem to have a pretty defeatist attitude. Maybe change that first.
