The grift is so unreal.
Hamburg Wasser made a profit of almost 100 million Euro in 2022 and since it’s owned by the state of Hamburg it didn’t shit that profit out to shareholders, but invested it into the infrastructure.
And the Tories are still reluctant to nationalise this vital service that has nothing to do in the “free” market.
When people asked for the USA to take a page out of Europe they didn’t mean from the 1930s
America, baby, what is you doing again
Weil er nicht Wick Hustenbonbons genommen hat. Die wirken und schmecken.
This is Hamburg and they do in Hamburg. The AFD barely made it over the 5% hurdle in the last election.
Given the soldiers that killed unarmed hostages against the order of their field commander they’re not even doing that.
I have a monitor above my bed that I connect the deck to with a hub. It’s pretty chill.
Had to do it recently, because my Steamdeck couldn’t use it. One firmware uodate and it worked like butter.
Also, Ted Cruz would be a domestic catastrophe that fills his and hid mates pockets with the money of others, but he would not be an instable insane nuke, ready to blow up something on a whim.
This is where we are right now.
Coal in stockings doesn’t scare anyone. Godzilla bodying you home town, now that’s a credible threat.
I would like to say something in return, but all I can think of is Americans driving Brits to death or into hospital and then America giving the middle finger to Britons asking for justice.
So much for the special relationship
Don’t worry, he is well and much happier with Gary.
Don’t you think he look tired?
Now I want to have a comical photo where both the Netherlands and the UK are seen, but the Netherlands is people biking in the sun, picking up fruits from trees that have smiling faces and then England being under a dark roof of clouds and rain, dirty peasants with rags for clothes pull carts through the muddy streets.
And even that wasn’t enough to destroy all of his public image. Dude could’ve stopped there, some people would’ve disliked him, but as far as the general public is concerned, it didn’t happen or he had a singular brain fart. But he kept fucking up to the point where even the general public is aware what a hack he is. Twitter is of course the pinnacle of his ego.
The biggest irony is that this is what libertarians like Musk say they want: for the state to keep out and have the market regulate. Well, the market is regulating and suddenly he cries about daddy government not intervening.
It used to be different, at least in his effect. Musk managed to create a public persona that for some reason stood for success. That’s how he hyped up e.g. Tesla. It’s a double-edged sword though. Just as a good name can elevate projects, a bad name can tear them down and Musks hype has taken quite the damage in the public eye and his persona turned from a strong asset into a liability.
I like to mention it often, but in Germany state run water companies run self-sufficient and even make money to invest in keeping the infrastructure alive. In my city we have a water loss of less than 2% due to well maintained pipes. Thames Water is losing like 25%!
I still can’t believe how this company got to grift the British people in broad daylight and is now asking for more to grift and government in charge still wants more of this.
