Ach, diese Wissenschaftler:innen, was mischen die sich in unsere christlich unsoziale Politik ein....
"Die Erzählung vom arbeitsunwilligen Arbeitslosen ist empirisch kaum haltbar, erfüllt aber eine politische Funktion: Sie legitimiert restriktive Reformen, individualisiert strukturelle Arbeitsmarktprobleme und verstärkt Stigmatisierung. Das zeigt eine Analyse von Institut für Arbeit."
Nach der Solartechnik und dem E-Auto hat China auch noch die bessere Wärmepumpe. Wir benotigen dringend bessere Verbrenner danit wir ein Alleinsterbungsmerkmal haben!
Wer eine #Klarnamenpflicht im Netz will, der schadet vielen Menschen und greift mehrere Grundrechte gleichzeitig an – darunter Pressefreiheit, Meinungsfreiheit, Religionsfreiheit, informationelle Selbstbestimmung und die freie Entfaltung der Persönlichkeit.
Erneuerbare statt Gas – jetzt Appell unterzeichnen!
Vom Gas-Konzern direkt ins Kabinett: Katherina Reiche (CDU) will die Erneuerbaren ausbremsen. Das müssen wir verhindern!
Erst: „CO₂ Ausstoß zu beschränken schadet der Wirtschaft, wir machen Zertifikatehandel, dann regelt das der Markt.“
Jetzt: „Zertifikatehandel schadet der Wirtschaft, wir warten lieber auf neue Lösungen und machen gar nichts.“
Man hätte sich nie auf halbgare „der Markt regelt das“ Scheinlösungen einlassen sollen.
Merz Angriff auf den Emissionshandel,
Reiches Angriff auf den Ausbau Erneuerbarer,
das Aufweichen des Verbrenner-Aus,
dieses Herumwerkeln am Gebäudeenergiegesetz,
die Offensive der Union gegen Klimaschutz wird uns und der Natur noch teuer zu stehen kommen!
Zum Beginn der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz warnen Thinktanks, NGOs und Grüne davor, in Europa weiter auf fossile Energien zu setzen. Unabhängigkeit gebe es nur mit Elektrifizierung und erneuerbaren Energien.

The war waged by the tech authoritarian oligarchy against the media has reached a new level:
#Palantir is suing us. Us, the Republik Magazin.
A small Swiss media company, funded by readers, founded in 2018 and free of advertising. I am not aware of any other media company globally that Palantir is currently targeting so aggressively.
What is this about? Together with my wonderful colleagues at the WAV research collective Jenny Steiner, Lorenz Naegeli, Marguerite Meyer, and Balz Oertli, we published a two-part series on Palantir's activities in Switzerland on December 8 and 9.
Using an extensive corpus of documents – which we obtained thanks to the Freedom of Information Act – we were able to trace a sales campaign over a period of seven years. Palantir tried to get in with many federal authorities – and was rejected everywhere.
And we also found out that the Swiss Army Staff evaluated the products and came to the conclusion that the army should refrain from using Palantir products.
Among other risks, they feared that data would be passed on to the US authorities.
Palantir is not just any company. ICE uses its products to hunt down migrants in the US. The Israeli army IDF uses the software in its Gaza offensive. The British health authority NHS has made itself dependent on the products for data analysis during the pandemic. And CEO #AlexKarp displays inhuman and aggressive rhetoric towards Europe, while the company itself advertises the “optimization of the kill chain.”
These are all facts, repeatedly verified and published by renowned media outlets. Our research relating to Switzerland and Zurich is based on this.
In addition to analyzing documents, we also spoke to various sources – including Palantir executives here in Zurich. The quotes used were presented to them and approved. Of course, we always adhered to the high standards of journalistic work. We conducted a thorough fact check before publication.
But the company doesn't want us to write the truth.
After the US company owned by right-wing tech billionaire #PeterThiel dedicated an absurd blog post to us, claiming some misinformation (such as that they had not participated in official tenders with the federal administration, a point we never claimed. On the contrary: we spoke from the outset of attempts to establish contact, sales talks, informal meetings, business as usual), after the Global Director of Privacy & Civil Liberties (PCL) Engineering and contact person for Swiss media Courtney Bowman launched personal attacks against us in LinkedIn comments between Christmas and New Year (“partisan fear-mongering”), Palantir's Swiss lawyers demanded a counterstatement on December 29.
We rejected this demand in its entirety.
In January, they demanded the same thing again. We rejected it again.
And now we see each other in court.
But why all this?
Our research on the Swiss army report caused a huge international media response. The Guardian and the Austrian newspaper Der Standard reported on the Swiss army's rejection. Numerous financial portals and stock market magazines picked up our news (which could have consequences for the overvalued stock market company Palantir).
And Chaos Computer Club spokesperson Constanze Kurz presented our research to a huge audience at the renowned IT conference Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg at the end of December.
All of this is making Palantir nervous.
We have now submitted a comprehensive defense brief. We can substantiate all of our findings with several documents and publicly available media reports.
We trust in the rule of law and freedom of the press in this country.
In keeping with yesterday's event “Zurich, little Big Tech City” at the Gessneralle, where we first announced this news exclusively to the audience on site:
World politics will soon be negotiated in Zurich: freedom of the press, the facts about ICE, Trump, Israel, Karp, tech authoritarianism.
The truth.
All this at the Zurich Commercial Court.
We will not be intimidated. And we will keep you informed.
