Hat eigentlich schon jemand darüber geschrieben, warum nur AfD und BSW so prominent KI-Bilder nutzen?
Selbst die FDP nutzt auf ihrer Homepage hauptsächlich Stockphotos.
Sharepic mit einer KI-generierten lächelnden Familie und dem Text „Spare jetzt 7.400€ im Jahr mit der AfD“ Banner mit einer Ki-generierten älteren Frau auf einer Demonstration und dem Text „Jetzt für den Frieden kämpfen“ Screenshot der BSW-Homepage zum Thema „Wirtschaftliche Vernunft“ mit zwei KI-generierten Fotos. Eines zeigt einen Arbeiter vor einem futuristischen Monitor stehend, das Andere einen Tischler, der ein Brett zurechtschneidet Screenshot der BSW-Website zum Thema „Für einen starken gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt“. Der Text ist illustriert mit einem KI-generierten Bild von einem Mann in Arbeitskleidung und Schmutz im Gesicht. Im Hintergrund stehen mehrere männliche Arbeiter mit orangenen Sicherheitshelmen.

Worth revisiting this article on German fiscal orthodoxy now.
€500bn/10y for infrastructure and a debt brake exceptions for defense do not make a new investment paradigm.
Embracing investments in support of the EU competitiveness agenda and an accordingly fundamental debt break reform are needed!
Screenshot from the quoted article with the following text: Common EU-level borrowing, akin to the COVID recovery fund, is another proposed solution, with former ECB President Mario Draghi calling for €800 billion in annual investment in the EU. However, Merz swiftly dismissed the idea, pledging to do "everything he can" to prevent the EU from taking on new debt. Politically, this is understandable, given the pressure from the hardline anti-EU AfD. But for his country, it's a huge missed opportunity. Draghi's plan seems tailor-made to tackle Germany's economic woes while also helping prevent fragmentation of the single market-a key worry for Germany's firms, which depend on a well-integrated EU economy. The stakes could not be higher. Germany's industrial base, and the future of the broader European economy hinge on whether the country can shake its fiscal orthodoxy and embrace the investment it so desperately needs.

It would be so funny to have a Greek Schäuble, scolding Germany when the debt break inevitably falls.
The Financial Times chart, titled “The Eurozone periphery now has a better primary budget than Germany,” illustrates the primary government balance as a percentage of GDP from 2012 to 2024 for Ireland, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Germany. The y-axis measures the balance, ranging from -10% to +5%, while the x-axis covers the years from 2012 to 2024. Germany starts with a stable surplus in 2012, maintaining a steady performance over the years but experiences a slight decline around 2020, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and remains relatively flat afterward. Ireland shows a consistent upward trend, moving from a deficit in 2012 to achieving the highest surplus among the countries by 2024. Portugal, Greece, and Spain, which began with significant deficits in 2012, demonstrate notable improvement starting in 2014. They experience fluctuations but recover strongly, surpassing Germany’s performance by 2024. Italy remains relatively stable, showing modest improvement in the post-2020 period, closely tracking Germany’s trajectory but slightly exceeding it toward the end. The data highlights how Eurozone periphery countries, traditionally seen as financially weaker, have achieved stronger primary budget balances than Germany in recent years, signaling a significant shift in fiscal dynamics across the region based on IMF data.

This is how we should think/talk about the debt brake - not just a rule to be reformed but deep-set a political narrative to be countered with a positive view on public investments.

A selection of the things, the US exhibited and wanted to convey at Expo '58 in Brussels (Thread)
A photo of the cover page of the Official United States Guide Book Brussels World‘s Fair 1958“ The back of the Guidebook, reading „This booklet is presented as a public service to help acquaint visitors to the Brussels Universal and International Exhibition with the American people and their way of life.“ THE UNITED STATES AT THE FAIR • The United States participation in the Brussels World's Fair is principally centered in its own distinctive national pavilion, with adjoining auditorium suitable for all types of cultural performances. The U.S.A. is also contributing to the International Hall of Science, International Fine Arts Exhibit and various other international cultural exhibits which are all part of the first International Exhibition to be held since 1939. The theme of the Fair is: "A World View — A New Humanism". The United States presentation, in keeping with that theme, attempts to reflect the atmosphere of America generally and those distinctive phenomena which are considered characteristic of the American people - dynamic energy, impatience and restlessness for change, the unremitting search for an improved way of life, and the high degree of unity achieved among the diversity of their national origins. The American Pavilion and the exhibits therein were designed so that they could visually provide for all visitors a tangible and lasting impression of the United States.

The debt brake reform may well end up being very disappointing.

The emerging lowest common denominator is to only do carve outs for defence.

I’m not sure that Berlin has realised that it can no longer outsource its macroeconomic demand management to Washington, Beijing let alone Paris.

Hätte vor 10 Jahren auch niemand gedacht, dass Wagenknecht eine bessere Ordoliberale als Lindner wird!

I do feel like I can tell the economy is improving when people start complaining about abstracts like the deficit online instead of prices/employment etc

„Jetzt fällt Melonis Maske“. Damit ist in diesem Artikel nicht Melonis Politik gegen Arme, Frauen und Minderheiten gemeint, sondern dass die Regierung mehr Schulden als versprochen aufnehmen will.

The contradiction at the core of current EU geopolitical ambitions via enlargement - it will make it even harder to agree on a coherent foreign policy!
