Wolfgang M. Schmitt vom Podcast #neuezwanziger (mit @stefanschulz ) ist also in den KI-Topf gefallen. Dort hat er einen kurzen, sehr interessanten Text von #brankomilanovic gefunden:

„Milanović beschreibt, wie in den Jahren vor den Jugoslawienkriegen gelangweilte Rentner in Belgrad zu den kriegerischsten Akteuren wurden.“

Ich beobachte diese Gefahr auch und frage produktiv gewendet: Was fangen wir mit den ganzen gelangweilten Rentnern an?

Wie wäre es mit einem „Wütende Rentner e.V.“ - wie ihn uns Till und Moritz im 365-Grad-Qualitätspodcast „Talk ohne Gast“ ab Minute 36:15 vorstellen?

Ich ahne, dass sich die Verwaltung wehren wird - wahrscheinlich mit #KI .

I just read this article by #BrankoMilanovic , where he seems to argue that the #unitedhealthcare CEO killing was because young people in America feel that the system is corrupt and there are no legal ways to reform the system and these reasons were similar to how young Bosnian radicals felt on the lead up to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.

To be young, perchance to dream - by Branko Milanovic
https://branko2f7.substack.com/p/to-be-young-perchance-to-dream

I keep thinking of this, from an article by #BrankoMilanovic :

In the 2020 response to #COVID19 in the US, "Market income inequality, which measures inequality before government transfers and direct taxation, increased by 1.5 Gini points... But the welfare state intervened strongly in 2020, and disposable income Gini was reduced by 1.5 points. This was, as I mentioned, a reduction of historic proportions."

The greatest reduction in iniquality in US history was the last year of #Trump.

Always a good time to read #BrankoMilanovic .

"The “problem” is that the median after-tax income in the West (about $14,600 per person per year) is at the 91st percentile of the global income distribution."
