The enemies of savings books wrote that there had been huge traffic jams at a gas station because many wanted to refuel before noon. Diesel costs €2.21 per liter there; the price is likely to rise to €2.40 soon, after which the pumps could remain deserted for several hours. The author described this as economic madness and wrote that it is incomprehensible that the measure has not yet been revoked. #Tankstelle #Dieselpreise #Verkehr (translated)

The author of the post wrote that a Swedish minister responsible for forestry had contacts with the forest industry. As a comparison, the author asked how it would be received if the minister of social affairs had contacts with the healthcare system and wondered where the country was heading. https://t.co/TucBOugklt #Sverige #Skogsfrågor #Politik #SE (translated)

The biofuel E20, which contains up to 20 percent bioethanol, is to be introduced in Germany to reduce CO₂ emissions in transport, decrease dependence on global supply chains, and potentially lower fuel costs, but it is criticized due to land competition and import dependence. #E20 #Biokraftstoff #Nachhaltigkeit (translated)

Mats Yxhäll wrote that he sometimes wondered how an independent television channel would investigate what he called nonsense. He asked how a person who, according to him, could not speak Swedish, despite having lived in the country for 23 years, could be elected to the parliament. He also wondered how Ali could be elected despite Ali, according to Yxhäll, not knowing what one does in parliament. Yxhäll wrote that SVT was considered independent by some, but that the channel that day instead featured a segment about AI-generated articles from Vietnam that were about Ali. #Sverige #Media #Demokrati (translated)

The author wrote that inflation is around 3.5 percent and that people are not protected from rising costs, but made victims of them. They are managing less and less with their salaries and pensions because energy, electricity, heating, and fueling are becoming more expensive. (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that kerosene is becoming scarce at Frankfurt Airport. Lufthansa is therefore preemptively fueling more on selected routes before planes fly to Frankfurt. He cited bottlenecks in supply at the destination as the reason, rather than longer flight distances. He pointed out that this concerns Germany's largest airport and described the situation as Germany in 2026. #Frankfurt #Lufthansa #Flughafen (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that kerosene is in short supply at Frankfurt Airport. He attributed the bottlenecks to the low Rhine water level, which restricts fuel deliveries by tanker ship, as well as limited pipeline capacities. Lufthansa has instructed its pilots to refuel additional kerosene at the departure airport on selected flights. The measure affects numerous short-haul and selected long-haul flights. Lufthansa confirmed the restrictions on October 14, 2026, but currently does not expect flight cancellations. Boeminghaus stated that the precautionary transport of fuel from other airports shows the vulnerability of the supply infrastructure. He cited BILD and 20 min as sources. #Lufthansa #Frankfurt #Luftverkehr (translated)

The author argued that the state should intervene when crises drive up the prices of essential goods. However, for many people, it is not refueling that is essential, but mobility. At the same time, windfall profits are particularly problematic in a crisis of justice. Therefore, he wrote, an alternative to the fuel discount is needed. https://t.co/aNv78UWw16 #SozialeGerechtigkeit #Preissteigerungen #StaatlichesEingreifen #DE (translated)

The author wrote that he had just seen a gasoline price of 2.40 euros per liter at a gas station. He asked where the fuel discount had gone and explained that the price was higher than during his last refueling before the discount. At the same time, he criticized that Merz had pledged another billion euros of taxpayers' money to Ukraine. #Tankstelle #Spritpreise #Steuergeld #DE #UA (translated)

If I'm not mistaken, most military vehicles also run on diesel. If you want to fight a nice war with Russia as @SecGenNATO, the fuel is out. And then? Solar panels on the tanks? Sails? No? Can't be done? Then push? Can @jpaternotte, @rubenbrekelmans, and @RobJetten do that? Jan shouldn't nibble too much on the Ozempic or else he will blow away. And then with @DefensieMin as a siren on the bow? No? Can't do that? So electric then? With the engineers who install the charging stations? Although, for that, we don't have enough natural gas again. And if I'm not mistaken, the scarcity in diesel is closely related to the scarcity in kerosene. If you want to bomb Russia with your mighty F35s, your tank is already empty above Germany. You have to go the rest flying. Do we maybe still have the F35PG* variant in our collection? Can we fly that towards Russia from the Vaalserberg with favorable winds? Can that be done with all the bombs and grenades? We don't have the latter either? Jesus... Or can we let that F35 fly on LPG? That would be nice. The price of LPG usually doesn’t go up that fast. There is another problem: you can only bomb during the day if you want to refuel everywhere. At night, that’s only possible along the highway. But then you do have a runway. But even this isn't without problems: I have a Mercedes R500L, an eight-cylinder. With a small LPG tank. In no time, you find yourself at the pump with that thing. And you get cramps in your thumb because you have to hold that button for so long. With such an F35, you would have to land and take off about 20 times quickly to get to Russia. The return journey is less problematic. #Putin has enough gas. Although, I’m not sure he has the right tank connection. And I think you have to press the installation button for a very long time before the tank of such an F35 is full. Who is going to do that? @DefensieStas? He can probably handle it. Then he can still press his mustache somewhere (against something). Can we maybe send the navy? We still have a few frigates, right? What do you say? Cannon broken? You don't need that at all: you can't hit anything with it anyway. Just ask the Americans. They have experience with that by now. Well. All quite tricky. But our leaders will surely find a solution. One of the recurring themes in the decline of superpowers throughout history is that the powers that be increasingly disconnected from reality in the (dozens of) years leading up to it and then suddenly realized that the (military) power they thought they had was no longer there at all. Does that seem familiar to you? I think #Putin is pouring himself an extra glass of vodka tonight. And that Xi Jin Ping is having a lavish dinner tonight with Peking duck, babi pang pang, and Bam Goreng. *Paraglider. #militair #energie #diesel (translated)
