Coffee Notes from a Fringe Mind
So, the U.S. conducted another drone strike on foreign territory. They killed a suspected terrorist leader without due process. And our media is cheering. Despite the fact that the U.S. again violated international law.
Germany is in deep shit for several reasons. For years, we relied on cheap fossil fuels from Russia. Now we are begging for oil from equally vile regimes, instead of pushing for energy independence. And that dependence will not go away. Not if the only solution to solve the transport needs of millions of citizens is the private car.
First of all, all healthcare systems have strengths and weaknesses. But I will double down on that universal healthcare is a human right.
Unfortunately, there are some very persistent myths about ADHD out there. Also among educators.
The airlines are reeling after Covid. The lockdowns are a major reason for that. The flight companies had to fire many employees during the pandemic. Now, they are not coming back.
I often see similarities between observations I make in the classroom and the world at large. Observing the EU and their struggle for emancipation is not an exception.
I find it very sad, that yet another shooting occupies my mind. This time, it happened in Denmark, the country I would call my second home.
Almost unmentioned by mainstream media, the Supreme Court issued another ruling. It has just given the green light to capitalists to destroy the environment at will.
No, history does not repeat itself. But it does rhyme indeed. This is what makes studying history so important. Because we can draw important lessons from the past to tell us something about our present and the future.
