We've been out a bit. We hiked up the #wallberg near #tegernsee.
First half was without snow, second half was snowy. But as it is a very frequented route, it wasn't a problem at all. Near the top there were really a lot of people (thanks to the rope way 🚡).
Together with brig…

Wanna know why #psycholinguistics is so fascinating?
In a 2001 #experiment participants saw sentences like
"While Mary dressed the baby played in the crib."
Then they had to answer the question:
"Did Mary dress the baby?"
Up to 51% of all answers where "Yes!" – and participants were *very* confident about their answers.
🤯

An actual job-guarantee is a brilliant plan, if you combine it with national ownership of the public infrastructure and a new national worker-owned co-op, you could actually revitalize the country and take some wealth back from the multinational private corporations and into actual unalienable British hands.
Start BritCo: the British Co-op.
The state will subsidize worker's wages, in that anyone who wants a job is guaranteed one at the BritCo on minimum wage and if BritCo can't make profit from it then they get welfare money to train them up till they can.
BritCo is owned entirely and inalienably by the workers, past and present, with one share for every hour worked which can not be sold or paid at any other rate. Wages may differ, be more for skilled work than the minimum paid for training, but ownership is one share per hour worked (including during training).
BritCo's mission is to rebuild the national infrastructure.
Fix the pipes, clean the rivers, upgrade the grid, build open nationally-controlled software systems, hardware production, build green energy, build national wealth and infrastructure and make it owned not by private international capital but by the workers who built it.
The state must not own BritCo. Its workers do. So BritCo can't be privatized by a mis-elected 'conservative' government.
Everything currently 'royal' becomes BritCo. Owned by the workers. So do many previously nationalized industry. Compensate current owners if you must, I'd just renationalize it without recompense. Wasn't really the state's to sell you mate. Stolen property. Sorry.

Ist die vermeintliche Manipulierbarkeit digitalisierter Inhalte, die auch hier angeführt wird, tatsächlich ein valides Argument? Die Kryptographie sollte doch Authentizität garantieren können. Da ist es wohl leichter, ein physisches Exempl. zu fälschen als ein signiertes Digitalisat. Oder übersehe ich da etwas?
