Kolumne: BMW ist der Konzern, der sich am heftigsten am Verbrennungsmotor festkrallt. Kräftig unterstützt von Union und FDP. Warum? Vielleicht spielen ja in Summe über 8 Millionen Euro Spenden eine Rolle? In jedem Fall ist der Kampf um den Verbrenner mit Blamagen gepflastert - und ein absoluter Irrweg.

Verbrennerpopulismus: Rückstand durch Technik

Nur eine deutsche Firma will nach 2035 unbedingt noch Verbrenner verkaufen. Unterstützt wird BMW von Union und FDP. Ein fataler Irrweg, gepflastert mit peinlichen Pannen – und viel Geld.

My article for The Guardian just dropped.

"With no changes to how the industry operates and no watchdogs to check the abuse and greed that have defined it over its now-15 years of existence, we are doomed to see history repeat itself. More Bankman-Frieds will emerge to take his place, drawn by the promise of easy money and the low likelihood of consequences."

Sam Bankman-Fried is going to prison. The crypto industry isn’t any better for it

There have been no changes since the ex-mogul’s conviction as lawmakers fail to pass regulations to protect the public

"The push to seize Russian sovereign assets reflects a shared desire to show Moscow that it would not be able to outlast western resolve to aid Ukraine, both economically and militarily"

Yes - and this is why Russians are struggling so hard against it

The accounts given by Ukrainians who have fled the occupied territories sound like accounts of people who escaped Stalin's Soviet Union https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/16/world/europe/russia-ukraine-war-border-crossing.html

Ukrainians Fleeing Russian Occupation Cross Through Russia Back to Their Own Country

About 100 Ukrainians a day travel back into Ukraine at an unofficial border crossing, bringing tales of repression and fear about life in Russian-controlled territories.

"Right now, even if Zelensky agrees to negotiate, there is no evidence that Putin wants to negotiate, that he wants to stop fighting, or that he has ever wanted to stop fighting. And yes, according to Western officials who have periodic conversations with their Russian counterparts, attempts have been made to find out."
