  5. #TBP to 2020, and not much has changed: Germany's AfD relies heavily on support from eastern states, where their voter base is significantly stronger than in the west. #GermanPolitics #AfD #EasternGermany

  6. Eastern Germany, a region that relies heavily on coal for power generation, is expected to become Europe’s largest clean energy hub. The plan is to build up to 14 GW of wind and solar energy, 2-3 GWh of battery storage and 2 GW of green hydrogen production. The first phase will involve a 50 MW/500 MWh iron flow battery system by ESS at the Boxberg power plant site. #CleanEnergy #EasternGermany #CoalExit electrek.co/2023/06/15/eastern

    Regarding the "old style" #socialism, it has failed in all countries behind the #IronCurtain, even in #EasternGermany:

    And the remaining systems in #NorthKorea are either externally subsidized (#China), or have embraced capitalism to finance its extravaganza, causing wide-spread #nepotism and corruption, so that the autocrat #Xi could come to power on a "clean-up-the-swamp" platform.

    Without the capitalist #GreenRevolution, modern society...

    Exactly as I had thought:

    MLC "...stores in which products can be purchased in freely convertible currency (MLC), taking the United States dollar (USD) as a reference in their prices."

    That is EXACTLY what did not work in #EasternGermany either in the 1980's, shortly before the Wall (in #Berlin) fell and the economy collapsed...Only that #EastGermans did not lack food, as in #Cuba.

  13. #languagelearning

    Did I told you yet how I learned #English? No?
    Alright here we go.

    It was in 1992, when #Russian was still mandatory for kids in #EasternGermany to learn, but nobody wanted. At this time, our family bought the first satellite dish, and we had #CartoonNetwork. I loved it, and started to watch it every second I could spare. By time, I understood, and later on, I tried to mimic the words and phrases. Than came watching movies in English, and by now, I'm #translating my books!

  14. I am very happy to be able to do research again! In the research project Elitenmonitor - Personal Underrepresentation of East Germans in Central Leadership Positions: Temporal Development, Mechanisms, Options for Action, together with the University of Leipzig and the University of Jena, we will be investigating the representation of East Germans in top positions in politics, business, administration, etc. over the next three years.
