  • Stammzellenforschung, Gentechnik, Kernfusion, …

    Es ist eine lange Liste von vielversprechenden Projekten, die von den Grünen aktiv blockiert werden. Die grünen sind ein Haufen Boomer Hippies, die ihr Banner mit “Atomkraft nein danke” hochhalten und sich dadurch für ein Geschenk für die Welt halten. Scheiß auf Ansätze, die wirklich etwas verändern könnten aber nicht in deren beschränktes Weltbild passen. Greenwashing statt Fortschritt.

    Trotzdem find ich es okay, die grünen zu wählen. Eben weil es nix besseres gibt. Traurig.







  • A gun’s purpose is to kill people, a car’s is not. The analogy is flawed.

    Still, assuming you have mandatory regular inspections of cars in the US, imagine you are an experienced mechanic by profession. Someone lends you a car and says it’s safe but you know immediately this rustbucket hasn’t been to an inspection in decades. By experience and papers. But you drive in a public space anyways and kill someone due to a fault that would have been found during an inspection. It is 100% your fault.

    As I understand it, following safety procedures would have prevented this death, in the same way nonfunctional brakes would certainly be found during service.

    On a side note, as an electrician who has to sign documents that electrical devices are safe to use, if one of those devices kills someone and I can prove that I followed protocol during testing, I am in the clear. Following rules makes the difference between a tragic accident and negligence.
