Don’t downplay that fascist scumbag as a harmless conservative.

That doesn’t conflict with 100% bullshit, it only states how the bullshit is split up: 90% just for show, which is annoying, but mostly harmless, and 10% as actual policy. And that’s the bad part.

They are extremely impractical. With the typicallly sized American pick-up, You get virtually no loading space on the footprint of a decently sized van, powered by an engine that guzzles fuel like no tomorrow. Unless you absolutely need 4x4 and low overall vehicle height in combination, you’re better off with a van. If you need that combination of features to do some actual work, better get a Hilux, because that’s a seriously mass produced vehicle for which you’ll easily get spare parts and that can be repaired with metric tools. If you actually need a pick-up with dead serious off-road capabilities, get the pick-up version of the Land Rover Defender. Instead of one of those extremely large pick-ups with twin tyres on the rear axle, as you see over in the US, you can simply get a proper truck, which offers better visibility, far superior loading space to footprint ratio, and, thanks to European workplace safety regulations, more comfort, because it has mandatory air suspension in the driver’s seat.

If you’re looking for loading space, get a station wagon instead of a SUV, because the enormous wheels of a SUV take away quite a bit of interior space. Also SUVs are rather heavy empty already, so you can’t load that much weight without overloading. A family of 4 with baggage for a 2 week vacation might already be too much for some models.

I doubt that it will change much, those monstrosities are so massively impractical that only a handful of select idiots will even consider buying one.

100% bullshit isn’t all that different from a real politician, though.

European far-right leaders attack ‘hate-mongering left’ after murder of Charlie Kirk.

And the media are giving them a platform.

Disgusting.

You can count on as spineless as incompetent as opportunistic and corrupt German politicians for exactly this not happening.

Collaborator scum.

The Economy™ of current day understanding consists of the wallets of the ultra rich, more exactly, of their contents.

It is quite easily fixable by finally banning that Nazi scum. Unfortunately those who hold the power to do so don’t have a spine, and/or like to use the Nazis for stupid party political power games.

Wouldn’t necessarily call them scientists.

Those so-called economy sages are merely a bunch of neoliberal ideologues who have been systematically pushing for ever more austerity and privatisation and are at very least partially to blame for the decades of systematic neglect of infrastructure, and the ever rising wealth and income inequality in Germany. If not because of instigating it, then at least for serving as a pseudoscientific fig leaf to legitimise it.
