German economist
Ulrich van Suntum 2d

The author announced that on November 4th, he would propose the complete abolition of certain taxes as an expert in the Finance Committee of the Bundestag. This should be financed, among other things, by the reduction of what he considers nonsensical subsidies. He wrote that the proposals have been seriously calculated. Although he expects that they will have no effect, he wants to show that alternatives exist. #Steuern #Subventionen #Bundestag #DE (translated)

The author wrote that a planned "diversity quota" should obligate social media to publish certain shares of politically desired content in the future, preferably from ARD and ZDF. He described this as an increasingly open and blatant censorship state of a totalitarian nature. https://t.co/QdPYEMFfbm #Freiheit #Zensur #Meinungsfreiheit #DE (translated)

Ulrich van Suntum 6d

The author wrote that pharmaceutical companies cut their investments in Germany due to the discounts forced by the health reform, while Merz was promoting Germany as a location at the investment summit. Beautiful words counted less than hard facts in the end, and in his assessment, these were not good. #Deutschland #Gesundheitsreform #Pharmaindustrie #DE (translated)

The author asked what should happen from the perspective of those who thought abandoning Ukraine was reasonable if Putin were to attack a NATO country in the Baltics next. He asked whether they would remain idle then as well and described the counter-question of why Putin would do that as an excuse. #Ukraine #Putin #Baltikum #UA #RU #EE #LV #LT (translated)

The author wrote that Trump had apparently switched to Putin's side and had effectively become his accomplice. Therefore, at least during Trump's term, one could no longer rely on the USA. This makes one's own defense capability all the more important. https://t.co/X00HdIIMGt #Trump #Putin #Verteidigung #US #RU (translated)

The author criticized that the rules of procedure had been changed at short notice so that an opposition with 45 percent of the seats received only about half as much speaking time as the governing parties. Schwesig had once again revealed her true face, he wrote, and ironically referred to those responsible as "true democrats." https://t.co/HDWsq7PTlu #Demokratie #Opposition #Politik #DE (translated)

The author referred to a historian who claimed that there had never been an agreement with Russia prohibiting the former Soviet states from joining NATO. Such an accord would also not have been possible behind the backs of these states and cannot explain the war in Ukraine, he wrote. https://t.co/oYuwctzhKU #NATO #Ukrainekrieg #Russland #RU #UA (translated)

The author wrote that Trump has already attempted to have a lake and reportedly an entire ocean named after him and has portrayed himself as Jesus and the Pope among other things. Shortly after a tragic tiger attack, Trump also released an AI video showing him as a tiger tamer. The author wrote that Trump dictates world events. https://t.co/fnIh1ReOYb #Trump #KI #Tiger #DE (translated)

The author wrote that the resolutions of AfD and BSW in SA would mean the end of Ukraine and a submission to Putin. At the same time, he stated that the two parties fortunately had no influence on this and urged Alice Weidel to clarify the position of the party leadership. https://t.co/ubxuDW1NgW https://t.co/NKKN2BSwIa #Ukraine #Politik #AfD #DE #UA #RU (translated)

The author wrote that mass immigration of asylum seekers has cost at least 400 billion since 2016; some estimates are as high as one trillion. Despite the alleged change in asylum policy, no end is in sight, while many are making a lot of money from the development. https://t.co/vpNK7wmIh3 #Asylpolitik #Einwanderung #Kosten #DE (translated)

The author estimated Germany's direct aid to Ukraine for 2022 to 2026 at a total of about 31 to 42 billion euros, of which 80 percent was military aid. Additionally, according to his account, there would be a share of around 23 billion euros in EU aid as well as 36 billion euros in costs for Ukrainians who had fled to Germany. In total, he wrote, the amount would be at most 20 billion euros per year. https://t.co/xzFTmDePKv #Ukrainehilfe #Deutschland #Flüchtlingshilfe #DE #UA #EU (translated)

The author claimed that Xi had gifted Donald Trump some pandas and Vladimir Putin some liters of diesel. Subsequently, Trump had given up geopolitically important positions and abandoned his own allies to be re-elected by farmers and industrial workers. The author described this as alarming. #Politik #Weltpolitik #Trump #CN #US #RU (translated)

The author wrote that living costs had doubled in 20 years, mainly due to government interventions. In his opinion, housing would only become cheaper if more apartments were built; however, increasingly strict regulations from the state were preventing this. https://t.co/TfCeB8Dha5 #Wohnen #Mieten #Baupolitik #DE (translated)

The author wrote that BMW had withdrawn its offer for a company car after an AfD politician was democratically elected as the president of the state parliament. He said that AfD voters might now also reconsider their choice of their next car and added that he himself drives a Mercedes anyway. #BMW #Politik #Autoindustrie (translated)

The author wrote that Germany has the most expensive and one of the most CO₂-intensive electricity generations in the EU after the energy transition. According to him, a new study shows that the recommissioning of nuclear power plants would significantly improve both values. He also expressed the suspicion that the public broadcasting service would not report on this. https://t.co/gBZ649wCla #Energiewende #Kernkraft #Umweltschutz #DE #EU (translated)

The author wrote that the AfD is apparently seriously preparing for government responsibility at the federal level. He described their now more realistic ideas about the euro and the EU as a good step. In his view, the party should also implement this course change in pension and Russia policy. https://t.co/3CeArcOxRn #AfD #EU #Politik #EU #RU (translated)

The author wrote that, in his opinion, even an immediate implementation of all the demands of the AfD would not prevent harsh austerity measures in social insurance. Their deficits would continue to rise due to aging, and the public is being lied to, he stated. #AfD #Sozialpolitik #Wahrheit #DE (translated)

The author estimated the maximum savings for the federal government at a total of 70 billion euros: 25 billion from the exit of all refugees, 25 billion from the end of development aid, 15 billion from the end of Ukraine aid, and five billion from cuts to NGOs, the chancellery, and other areas. Nevertheless, according to his presentation, there remained a new debt of 130 billion euros and unresolved issues regarding pensions, health and care insurance, and infrastructure. #Politik #Finanzen #Flüchtlinge #DE #UA (translated)

The author criticized that opponents of a ban on the AfD apparently only got to speak shortly before midnight during a hearing in the Thuringian State Parliament, when journalists and many representatives had already left. He described this as "GDR methods." https://t.co/5iNZhEYSQj #Thüringen #AfD #Politik #DE (translated)

The author wrote that leading media outlets had portrayed the events as a "student protest" for days and defended this perspective; the truth could only be found on X. Now even BILD and WELT could no longer deny that there had been open, politically motivated violence in France. https://t.co/pwOCpUkTU1 #Frankreich #Politik #Protest #FR (translated)
