So, to condense the article:

German car industry says:

We are having a tough time! We're thinking of closing our German factories, and ending our "We don't fire people" Guarantee!

Politicians, please save us by regulating our competitors and exempting us from sales tax on new technologies!

Why?

Because our primary source of money before, was selling in China (40% to 50% of earnings), and now Chinese EVs have taken over both China and the local market! So, with our ~~shitty~~ expensive EVs, we can't compete, and, worst of all, China is buying less from us, so we are losing all that money!

Opinion:

German car industry means:

We kept selling to the most vulnerable market and pocketing innovation money, and now we got out-innovated and that market is no longer vulnerable!

Please give us tax-money and regulate our competitors away, otherwise we will make a political stink, and throw workers on the street!

A nearly comical reminder that corporations aren't your friend. in c/[email protected]

You can legally kill anyone related to someone who has had Disney+.

Iirc, the wife died, the husband sued, and they tried to say the husband can't sue because HE had had the subscription a long time ago.

Each subscriber loses the right to sue for any of their loved ones.

After all, if they're dead, they can't sue you anyway

I know you might be joking for hyperbole, but still. If you burn it, you can't read what runs through their and their friends' head, and you lose the historical value of having access to this period's political pulse later.

And I don't think these books turn people fascist. They only consolidate them.

If we want to stop fascism, part of the solution is stopping the root of the problem, where people become fascists. And our best bet on that is understanding.
