One of the hardest lessons of young Sam’s life had been finding out that the people in charge weren’t in charge. It had been finding out that governments were not, on the whole, staffed by people who had a grip, and that plans were what people made instead of thinking.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 29, Night Watch (2002)

Hab gerade geschaut, ob es Sinn macht die Ladekarte der Stadtwerke München #SWM oder #Mühlheim am Main:

Würde sich glaube ich nicht lohnen, da Ladenetz-Säulen über #InCharge machen kann und #Wirelane Säulen wäre ein Roaming. Alternativ 59ct über andere Anbieter

Let's think about who is really #InCharge, who is actually the real #owner of our #states, of our #political system.

Who owns our states?

financial industry and capital

the governments

the people

nobody

Once again, it was the #economy, stupid
"This saga also served as a reminder of an unusual #fact: the head of the world's most powerful #centralbank, the #US #FederalReserve, is not an #economist, but a #lawyer. Would we have someone #lacking in formal medical training put #incharge of the National Institutes of Health? There are many important messages in Trump's decisive victory & the down-ballot results. #Democrats & the #economics profession wld do well to heed them."
