@jhaand @DartzIRL @vowe depends where you are. In German there is a rhyme: Kein Bier vor vier - no beer till 4 pm

@s4mmy @jhaand @DartzIRL @vowe please reassure me: this applies to evening beers only, right? I mean, lunch beer is still allowed between 10.30am and 3pm ?
Show threads4mmyJan 18

@PierricD @jhaand @DartzIRL @vowe in Bavaria beer is staple food in some cases allowed even for breakfast („Weißwurstfrühstück“).

(In case someone doesn’t get it: It’s a joke, not a law. You may drink the whole day…)

@vowe Credit where credit's due: politicians are largely a front to the root cause of the destabilizations: greed.

The fossil fuels industry and their cronies have perpetuated the wealthiest, deepest entrenched profit machine in human history. They gladly spend 10% of their 90% profits on various campaigns deflecting the taxpayers, like greenwashing and militant insurgence. Abuse of Power, and its correlate Divide and Conquer strategies are common practice, yet rarely dealt with at the roots. Replace unethical leadership.

@vowe hey, the view is a LOT worse on this side of the pond. My only consolation is that the people who are going to get screwed the most (besides immigrants) financially, are the idiots who let their racism override their own self-preservation.

@vowe Being an American today is having to live through all of this, and having to worry about whether or not your city/state will be the next one that Trump will attack..
