@fasnix @Saupreiss @pallenberg also in den #Niederlanden wird die #KFZsteuer abgeblich nach #Leergewicht berechnet.

• Ich bin ja dafür #Förderungen nur noch für #PersonalLightVehicle zu machen und ne gesetzliche #Obergrenze für Leergewicht und Effizienzbedingungen für #Hersteller (vgl. #Flottenverbrauch) umzusetzen.

Und damit die Hersteller nicht letzteres umgehen oder mit #Eigenzulassungen "hacken" können, muss es nach #Herstellungen und Zulassungen durch wirtschaftlich nicht verbandelte (auch nicht #Händer, #Mitarbeiter oder sonstige) durchgesetzt werden.

• Der explizite Ausschluss von Fahrzeugen der Klassen #L2e & #L5e von der #Umweltprämie gehört rückwirkend verboten!

In your relationships, who is the handler and who is the handled?

My son’s wedding was this last Saturday. They pulled it off with the expected flurry of activity and support by a half-dozen friends and family. Six months of planning, six hours of execution. What struck me, more so in how my son’s behavior became obvious, was who was handling whom.

I’d always known he was a “people pleaser”, forgoing his own needs in lieu of others. And this situation personified this. He became obviously torn between the needs of his family, his friends, his in-laws, and his bride. He did navigate the landscape with aplomb. Ultimately, I found this sad as it was he and his bride’s day and he should have been the focus of attention and not the distributor thereof. Despite the rain, the event was lovely and touching.

What brought this topic home was my wife’s, my daughter’s and my own ride home, in the dark, down a winding, foggy country road (the wedding was held in a venue called “the old school house”). I was not allowed to drive home. I’d had one glass of wine during the six hour ceremony & dinner and was therefore disqualified from driving. My wife, the non-drinker, drove. She hates driving in the dark.

The drive was harrowing, completely unexpected conditions and in the end, my wife was “handled” by both my daughter, and myself. She actually commented how well our daughter and navigator “handled” her. Even my own surrendering of the position of driver was a handling moment. They happen often. They no doubt represent an evolved partnership, the give and take, the continuous negotiations of living together.

I’m sure all of you are aware of the handlers and the handled. You’re no doubt one or the other depending on the relationship. Maybe, in a utopian world, no one is one or the other.

Have you ever consciously considered this tête-à-tête specifically and have created formal or unspoken rules that help you achieve detente?
