Simon Betschinger wrote that humanity has theoretical and empirical knowledge about how an economy must be organized to maximize wealth, such as through a market economy. However, politicians in government positions tend to ignore this knowledge, in his view. #Wirtschaft #Politik #Wohlfahrt (translated)

Simon Betschinger wrote that Javier Milei visited Spain and called the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez a criminal and a thief. Milei explained that he did not want to meet Sánchez because he would otherwise fear being robbed. Betschinger also claimed that the left enjoys a kind of protection from ridicule in public broadcasters. In his view, objective reporting from ARD and ZDF would open people's eyes. #Milei #Spanien #Sozialismus (translated)

Simon Betschinger criticized what he sees as the unequal distribution of daycare costs. He wrote that attending a daycare is free of charge in Berlin from the age of three, while in Munich there are fees of up to 700 euros. At the same time, Berlin receives state financial equalization payments from Bavaria. Munich parents would therefore likely be happy to contribute to enabling free daycare places in Berlin, wrote Betschinger, describing this as solidarity in a leftist worldview. He added that this probably only applies until leftists move to Munich. #Solidarität #Ungerechtigkeit #Kita (translated)

Simon Betschinger wrote that French bonds were being sold off and the yield on ten-year government bonds had reached 5.1 percent. According to his account, investors were retreating from France, while hardly any private investors were willing to finance the French state. He attributed this to what he considered socialist policies: potential voter groups had been provided with billions, and the state share had been increased to 57.5 percent. Now there was no money left to redistribute, which is why a financial crisis was imminent, he wrote. #Frankreich #Finanzkrise #Anleihen (translated)

Simon Betschinger referred to a FAZ report stating that economist Tom Krebs viewed Germany as being in the worst economic crisis since World War II and recommended a "planned market economy" with a more active state. Betschinger described this assessment as "foolish nonsense" and wrote that high taxes and overregulation drove away private investors. Germany's state share is around 50 percent; in his view, one could only speak of neoliberalism with a state share of 30 percent. #Wirtschaft #Deutschland #Neoliberalismus (translated)

Simon Betschinger referred to a Handelsblatt article about the feeling in France of not receiving what was promised. He wrote that the sprawling redistributive state is at its end and that the leftist experiment has failed; instead of gratitude, more and more is being demanded. #Frankreich #Umverteilung #Politik (translated)

Simon Betschinger asked to share his contribution. He referred to a BILD headline that described a Berlin plan by Red-Green-Red with more migrants, higher taxes, and mass nationalizations. In his home state of Baden-Württemberg, many citizens voted for the Greens, he wrote; only a few voters knew what the party stood for. #BerlinPlan #Grüne #Wahlen (translated)

Simon Betschinger asked for understanding for people who mocked Elon Musk because of his flying Tesla Roadster. He wrote that there had been skepticism towards new inventions in the past. On July 3, 1886, Carl Benz publicly presented his three-wheeled motor vehicle for the first time in Mannheim. The German Patent and Trademark Office described the reactions to the first drives as disappointing. Despite reports in the local press, the hoped-for response was missing. Many people considered the vehicle to be impractical; the German UNESCO Commission also confirmed that the invention had initially been ridiculed. #Innovation #Geschichte #Technologie (translated)

Simon Betschinger wrote to Karl Lauterbach and Elon Musk, Professor Lauterbach is trying to explain to the German petty bourgeoisie that Tesla is not a threat to Volkswagen. Betschinger described this as an expression of German envy and loss of reality. #Tesla #Volkswagen #Deutschland (translated)

Simon Betschinger accused Professor Karl Lauterbach of wanting to explain to the German petty bourgeoisie that Tesla poses no threat to Volkswagen. As a counterargument, Betschinger pointed out that the world's best-selling electric car in 2025 was the Tesla Model Y, with around 1,085,521 units sold. He described the situation as grotesque and wrote that the German industry had been left behind because the state had created bureaucratic structures that stifled entrepreneurship. He also mentioned German envy and a loss of touch with reality. #Tesla #Volkswagen #Deutschland (translated)

Simon Betschinger wrote that climate protection activists should subsidize or at least support Elon Musk and SpaceX so that AI data centers in space could become possible. In his view, it always seemed to be sunny there. At the same time, he claimed that the Greens he knew rejected Musk, even though he was promoting electric mobility, energy storage, and fully solar-powered data centers. According to his assessment, their worldview was based on a refusal to acknowledge reality. #Klimaschutz #ElonMusk #Raumfahrt (translated)

Simon Betschinger wrote that the videos of a taking off Tesla triggered a strong feeling of happiness in him that morning. He explained that it was nice to observe the interplay of entrepreneurship and engineering. At the same time, he described the mood in Germany as predominantly bleak and blamed bureaucrats for having turned the country into a desert of innovation. Entrepreneurs like Elon Musk give him hope for a positive development of humanity, Betschinger wrote. #Innovation #Unternehmertum #ElonMusk (translated)

Simon Betschinger referred to a BILD report about the plans of the Berlin Left for faster expropriations and mentioned the average net cold rent in the Berlin housing stock of Vonovia, including Deutsche Wohnen, at 8.26 euros per square meter. He predicted that left-wing socialists would initially provide unqualified friends with well-paying jobs when managing the apartments, and rents would significantly increase within two years. At the same time, he criticized that left-wing voters believed the measures could alleviate the housing shortage. #BerlinerLinke #Mieten #Wohnungsnot (translated)

Simon Betschinger wrote, referencing a report from WELT, that the SPD is planning a comprehensive redistribution of wealth in Germany through inheritance tax. According to him, this will exacerbate the wave of bankruptcies and the emigration of entrepreneurs. He accused the SPD of focusing on tax increases and damaging work ethic, diligence, determination, responsibility between generations, and social cohesion. #Steuern #SozialeGerechtigkeit #Wirtschaft (translated)

Simon Betschinger described BMW's decision not to provide a company car to the AfD as irrational in a contribution referencing a WELT report. He wrote that the AfD is currently polling at 30 percent voter support; the BMW Group sold 290,742 vehicles in Germany last year. BMW risks losing potential buyers who are AfD voters as a result. Betschinger warned of a similar "Go woke, go broke" effect as seen with Bud Light: Its sales in the U.S. have dropped by about 25 percent after the brand took a stance against the Republican Party. #BMW #AfD #Politik (translated)

Simon Betschinger referred to a WELT report about the dispute regarding the direction of the CDU, in which Vice-Chairperson Prien had demanded a change in course. He wrote that the participants did not understand that for him social policy meant taking less money from the working population. #CDU #SozialePolitik #Kurswechsel (translated)

Simon Betschinger referred to a BILD report stating that Markus Söder wants to turn off the money tap for Berlin. The report warned that this would betray democratic values and labeled the Left as partly anti-Semitic and critical of the police. Betschinger demanded an immediate halt to the state financial equalization. He wrote that the Left primarily aims to take money away from hardworking and diligent people. He argued that it is unacceptable for citizens in Bavaria to pay for kindergarten places in their own federal state as well as for free childcare in Berlin. #Söder #Demokratie #Finanzausgleich (translated)

Simon Betschinger referred to a BILD report stating that a significant increase in tobacco taxes was imminent and that the CDU had yielded to Klingbeil. He criticized that the SPD was governing without relief or comprehensive reforms and was instead relying on higher taxes, new laws, and levies. He also asked whether emigration would still help and why so many citizens were voting left. #Tabaksteuer #CDU #SPD (translated)

Simon Betschinger referred to a Handelsblatt headline that suggested all of Europe should fear France's interest rate curve. He wrote that leftist politicians had "driven Europe into a wall" over the past 20 years and a generation of politicians had stopped investing in the future. Instead, they had accumulated debt to win voters with promises of redistribution. Only a return to a market economy could save Europe, Betschinger wrote. #Europa #Zinskurve #Marktwirtschaft (translated)
