Um es kurz zu umreißen:

Die durch Steuern finanzierte Polizei schützt gerade ein Unternehmen, dass Steuern vermeidet, während es aus Steuern finanzierte Subventionen einstreicht, um Kohle abzubauen, deren Verbrennung zu massiven Schäden führt.

Und zwar gegen Steuerzahler.

"Is... Is it okay to be weird?"
The witch studied the young woman.
"No."
"No? I thought you'd understand."
"Don't be weird," the witch said. "Be yourself."
"But..."
"Now, some people may call that weird, but that's their word, not yours. Be yourself, however that is."

After only one year of Taliban rule, girls and women have almost disappeared from Afghan society. They are not allowed to travel, to work alone, to go to public parks, to talk or laugh in public, and they are not allowed to study and to go to school... Photo: Boushra Almutawakel

Giridharades Anand:„When a society helps people through its shared democratic institutions, it does so on behalf of all, and in a context of equality. Those institutions, representing those free and equal citizens, are making a collective choice of whom to help and how…
…When help is moved into the private sphere, no matter how efficient we are told it is, the context of the helping is a relationship of inequality: the giver and the taker, the helper and the helped, the donor and the recipient.“

10 Image #CaptionTips from a transcriptionist:

1. Any words are better than nothing.
2. You don't need to say it's "a picture of…" screen readers will already say it's an image.
3. Start with the framing or format (i.e. close up, landscape, meme, text).
4. Think about the reason you're posting the pic and describe that first, add background details if you have time.
5. Pretend you're talking to someone on the phone and want to tell them about this cool thing you're looking at.
6. Transcribe any and all text in the image, even if it's the only thing you do.
7. If you've described the image in your post, you don't need to copy and paste it again in the caption. But again, don't leave it blank, just put something like "as described."
8. You can add small subjective notes, but don't give too much interpretation of the image in your own opinion.
9. Caption jokes are fun, as long as they still describe the image objectively.
10. Use punctuation, and capitalize words properly. A lot of us have interacted with this tech when calling customer service or talking to Siri, so keep in mind that you're writing for a computer to read, and it needs all the help it can get.

Zwillezwalle Dec 20, 2022

Der Lufthansa-Chef Carsten Spohr verdient 85-mal mehr als seine Mitarbeiter & Mitarbeiterinnen pro Jahr, so rund 5 Mio €. Weil ihm das nicht reicht, will er sich und den anderen Vorstandsmitgliedern einen Bonus auszahlen. Auch für die Zeit als der Konzern kurz vor der Insolvenz stand und nur durch Staatshilfen gerettet wurde. Das ist eigentlich nicht erlaubt aber durch einen Taschenspielertrick möglich. Aber Wochenlang haben Konservative und andere gegen das Bürgergeld gewettert und Hartz4-Empfängern nicht den kleinsten Krümel mehr gegönnt. Dieses System ist so kaputt.

Super gute Frage für (Online-)Diskussionen oder mit Verschwörungsgläubigen Familienmitgliedern:
"Welche Art Beweis oder Fakt würde deine Meinung ändern?"

Auch eine gute Frage, um sie sich selbst zu stellen.
