  • One thing has been clearly stated by both conservative and progressive German leaders, over and over in the past 25 years: “Die Sicherheit Israels ist Deutsche Staatsraison”
    Loosely translated: “Israel’s security is a basic foundation of the German state.”

    What this means is that anyone who denies Israel’s right to exist, also denies the German state as it is today.
    So no, you can’t become a German citizen if you don’t acknowledge Israel’s right to exist.

    We should also put all of the societal cost of car ownership and usage on car owners, then. No more subsidizing cars.
    But at that point, car ownership becomes so expensive that only the rich can afford it. Which means they get to zoom around on largely uncongested roads while everyone else can’t.
    And that doesn’t sit well with me, therefore I’m for a blanket ban.

  • No, the source is my ass, but I work in IT sales and am specialized on MS licensing, and IMO there’s just no way Microsoft can finance the constant development and cloud infrastructure needed for Windows updates on a one-time-payment of a few bucks for an OEM license.

    Meanwhile, businesses are happy to pay several hundred dollars per user and year for M365 licenses if they’re in the ecosystem. And for the licensing costs of large enterprises, Microsoft basically just sends in an analyst who looks at the environment and quotes a number with a lot of zeros. Which you either pay or go out of business.
