It's work and we need to re-establish a true net of websites, webrings and all the other forgotten stuff that was made obsolete by search engines. Here's my contribution: https://mglz.de/links.html

It's not the West as a whole, it's a specific group of MBA-types which hijacked many institutions. We know where the problem is coming from. We have enough people who want to do stuff like building planes properly. The next step i

At which point did the MBAs convince us they are suited for more than bookkeeping? Medicine, engineering, architecture and many other things have been slaved to economics and this is presented as the natural order of things. Why?

*Thank you* So much hearsay from people who never really used an EV. Yes, there are drawbacks. But except for extreme long range trips EVs are perfectly usable while being more energy efficient and less prone to breaking down.
