gd Verzet tegen coronamaatregelen groeit in Duitsland: 'Aan ons is niks gevraagd' By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 06:20:58 +0200 In Duitsland groeit het verzet tegen de door de overheid opgelegde coronamaatregelen. Vandaag worden in Stuttgart bij de zevende 'Wake voor de grondwet' opnieuw duizenden mensen verwacht. Ook in Berlijn en andere steden wordt gedemonstreerd. Op steeds meer plekken worden demonstraties of acties aangemeld, ook het aantal deelnemers neemt toe. De actievoerders komen uit verschillende hoeken: antivaxers (tegenstanders van vaccinaties), linkse intellectuelen, bezorgde ondernemers, bekenden uit het extreemrechtse milieu, complotdenkers. Een ding hebben ze gemeen: ze wantrouwen de koers van de regering, ook nog nu er flinke versoepelingen zijn aangekondigd. Woensdag kondigde bondskanselier Merkel namelijk aan dat het land grotendeels van het slot zal gaan. De deelstaten hebben de regie bij de versoepelingen. Maar Merkel benadrukte wel dat bij een bepaald aantal besmettingen (50 per 100.000 inwoners) de maatregelen weer ingesteld moeten worden. In Berlijn zijn er zes weken op een rij wekelijkse demonstraties geweest op de Rosa Luxemburgplatz. "Het hele parlement, alle partijen, alle fracties hebben zich achter de koers van de regering geschaard", zegt initiatiefnemer Anselm Lenz. "Daarnaast lees je in de media bijna alleen maar dat het virus extreem gevaarlijk is en dat alle maatregelen die worden genomen terecht zijn." Volgens Lenz is het parlement praktisch "gleichgeschaltet", gelijkgeschakeld, een term die verwijst naar het uitsluiten van dissidente stemmen door de nazi's in de jaren dertig. "Wij vinden dat in Duitsland nooit meer het hele volk zich achter de regering moet scharen. Wij zijn de oppositie." Ook het harde optreden van de politie is volgens Lenz onwettig. Hij werd zelf opgepakt tijdens het uitdelen van verzetskranten: Maar voeren demonstranten dan alleen actie, zodat er oppositie is? Nee, zegt Lenz. Hij gelooft dat de Duitse regering de verkeerde strategie heeft gekozen. "Ik zeg niet dat dit virus niet gevaarlijk is. Dat is het wel. Maar de maatregelen zijn niet in verhouding." Wat nog erger is, volgens Lenz, is dat de bevolking niet heeft mogen meebeslissen. "Aan ons is niks gevraagd. Niet aan de ouderen of ze opgesloten willen worden, aan ouders of ze hun kinderen thuis willen houden, of aan mij of ik zo'n vernederend mondkapje op wil, ook al is de wetenschap het er nog niet eens over eens of dat helpt." Op de demonstraties in Berlijn en Stuttgart komen ook bekende rechtsextremisten en complotdenkers af. Voormalig journalist en radiopresentator Ken Jebsen valt in die laatste categorie. Ook Lenz interviewde hem voor zijn krant. Volgens Jebsen misbruiken Bill en Melinda Gates de coronacrisis om de wereld te 'kapen' en verplicht te laten inenten. Een theorie waarvoor geen enkel bewijs bestaat. Ziet hij er geen gevaar in zulke theorieën te verspreiden en met deze mensen ten strijde te trekken? SPD-partijsecretaris Lars Klingbeil waarschuwde in de Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung voor complotdenkers. "Die willen helemaal niet discussiëren over of het verstandig is de kinderopvang te sluiten of niet, mondkapjes te dragen ja of nee. Ze zijn er op uit om ons systeem te destabiliseren", zegt hij tegen de krant. Lenz ziet het gevaar niet zo. Discussie betekent niet dat hij het ermee eens is. "Als ik in deze tijden moet kiezen of ik een gesprek aan ga met Ken Jebsen, hoe freaky het ook is, of sluit ik me aan bij de totalitaire koers van de andere media, dan weet ik wel waarvoor ik kies." 'Querdenken' Jebsen is ook voor vandaag uitgenodigd bij de demonstratie in Stuttgart. Initiatiefnemer van de demo's in die stad is IT-ondernemer Michael Ballweg. Hij heeft de beweging Querdenken opgericht, omdat hij vindt dat de grondrechten te makkelijk en op te grote schaal zijn ingeperkt. Hij vocht het demonstratieverbod tot aan het Constitutioneel Hof aan, en kreeg gelijk. Op de laatste Querdenk-demo kwamen zeker 4000 demonstranten af. Voor vandaag heeft hij er 10.000 aangemeld. Ballweg reageert niet op onze interviewaanvragen. Op zijn website valt te lezen dat hij alleen met de pers praat als ze een uitgebreid formulier ondertekenen, waarin staat dat ze geen censuur toepassen. Het wantrouwen in de pers uitte zich bij eerdere demonstraties ook op een gewelddadige manier. In Berlijn zijn twee teams van de publieke omroep aangevallen. Zes mensen belandden daarbij in het ziekenhuis. Het is nog onbekend uit welke hoek de daders komen. Full Article

gd A Message From Chengdu By floggingbabel.blogspot.com Published On :: Fri, 03 Apr 2020 15:57:00 +0000 .My friend Renne, who works for Science Fiction World in Chengdu, China, gave me permission to share the above video. It was made by the science fiction community in Chengdu. Here's what he says about it:My friends and I made a little something for those we know around the world, and who are forced to stay home for the most part of day. Now that it’s clear that virus knows no borders, we feel like we should do something to counter its move. Of course, this is far from enough, we can never do what doctors and nurses did round the clock. Just maybe this little video would make things a tiny bit cheerful in these strange days.I hope you have fun with this! And as long as I'm talking about China . . .Like pretty much everyone else who has ever gone to China, I fell in love with the country and its people. The people are admirable (the science fiction community particularly so) and the country has sites of stunning beauty. Few who have stood on the Great Wall will ever forget the experience.But my favorite spot in all of China is the Thatched Hut of Du Fu. Fifteen hundred years ago, the great poet, wrote a poem about it and as a result, tourists have been visiting the site for over a millennium. The grounds are as beautifully landscaped as the Chinese can manage, which is saying a lot, and the hut itself has been reconstructed, rebuilt, torn down, and raised back up repeatedly over the years. At one point it was as large as a palace. Now it's a simple hut again. I've visited it several times.Du Fu knew more than his share of sorrow. He lived in a time of war. But he also wrote a poem that contains some of my favorite lines ever:Since water still flows, though we cut it with swords,And sorrow returns, though we drown it with wine,Since the world can in no way conform to our desires,Tomorrow I will let down my hair and go fishing. Which is, I think, profound.* Full Article

gd Inequality of Fear and Self-Quarantine: Is There a Trade-off between GDP and Public Health? -- by Sangmin Aum, Sang Yoon (Tim) Lee, Yongseok Shin By www.nber.org Published On :: We construct a quantitative model of an economy hit by an epidemic. People differ by age and skill, and choose occupations and whether to commute to work or work from home, to maximize their income and minimize their fear of infection. Occupations differ by wage, infection risk, and the productivity loss when working from home. By setting the model parameters to replicate the progression of COVID-19 in South Korea and the United Kingdom, we obtain three key results. First, government-imposed lock-downs may not present a clear trade-off between GDP and public health, as commonly believed, even though its immediate effect is to reduce GDP and infections by forcing people to work from home. A premature lifting of the lock-down raises GDP temporarily, but infections rise over the next months to a level at which many people choose to work from home, where they are less productive, driven by the fear of infection. A longer lock-down eventually mitigates the GDP loss as well as flattens the infection curve. Second, if the UK had adopted South Korean policies, its GDP loss and infections would have been substantially smaller both in the short and the long run. This is not because Korea implemented policies sooner, but because aggressive testing and tracking more effectively reduce infections and disrupt the economy less than a blanket lock-down. Finally, low-skill workers and self-employed lose the most from the epidemic and also from the government policies. However, the policy of issuing “visas” to those who have antibodies will disproportionately benefit the low-skilled, by relieving them of the fear of infection and also by allowing them to get back to work.

gd The corporate story behind GDP challenge By www.bbc.co.uk Published On :: Wed, 27 Apr 2011 09:46:24 +0000 A clutch of big company results today illustrate the big economic trends in the UK and the world - and also say something about what the UK economy needs if its insipid recovery is to become something a bit stronger. First the good news. ARM, the world-leading designer of electronic chips for smartphones, tablets and consumer devices, saw revenues rise 29% in the first three months of the year and profits increase 35% (to £51m). If we had a few more ARMs in this country, we would be agonising less about the imperative of "rebalancing" the structure of our wealth-creation away from financial services and the City. That said, we'd need an incredible number of ARMs to make a dent in the high unemployment figures, because ARM simply licences its technology to the likes of Apple and LG, which put the chips into their devices. Or to put it another way, ARM's success is in exploiting the grey matter of a few boffins: it manufactures nothing. Now part of the drag on Britain's recovery is the burden of debt on households and the impact of rising commodity prices on consumers' spending power. You can see some of that in the first half figures of Associated British Foods, which points out that world sugar prices are at a 30-year high and that there has been a sugar shortage in Europe. ABF's sugar, grocery and agriculture profits were up substantially (sugar by 27%). ABF's Primark chain of shops, whose prices tend to be the lowest on the high street, seems to have benefited from shoppers desire to trade down and economise, since underlying or like-for-like sales rose 3%. But although that looks okay compared with competitors, it was half the rate of last year's increase. A further manifestation of all that borrowing in the euphoric years, before the bubble burst in 2007-8, is another set of uninspiring financial results from Heathrow and Stansted airports, and their holding company, BAA (SP) limited. The losses of the two London airports increased 8% to £211.5m and net debt in BAA (SP) was flat at a substantial £9.9bn. Net debt at the next corporate level up, BAA (SH) plc was a chunky £10.4bn, against a regulated asset base of £13bn (which moved in the right direction by 2.7%). BAA was acquired by the Spanish group Ferrovial and partners at the height of the debt-fuelled buyout boom of 2006 - and although BAA would argue that operational performance has improved, there is a question about when if ever the owners will ever see a return on their enormous investment. Meanwhile, in spite of the rising trend of commodities and energy, including oil, BP's profits in the first three months of the year actually fell a fraction to $5.5bn. You can see the impact of higher oil prices in a near trebling of profits to $2.1bn made in refining and marketing - but there was a significant fall in production, some of it related to the Gulf of Mexico disaster. The fundamental BP story is that the risks and costs of extracting energy are on a secular rising trend - for which we all pay a price. Last but never least is Barclays and its figures for the first quarter of 2011 - which show top line income lower than the first quarter of last year and below the last quarter of last year. As for profits, they were up a bit or down a bit, depending on what view you take of whether changes in the notional value of Barclays' own borrowings should be included. The unambiguous trend is a sharp reduction in the charge of debts and investments going bad - which was 39% lower compared with a year ago and 33% down on a three-month comparison. As for lending, loans to retail customers rose by just under £1bn to £229bn since the end of 2010 - which is neither here nor there for a bank of Barclays' size. And the overall value of Barclays' loans and investments, on a risk-weighted basis, fell 1.5% over 12 months to £392bn. For Barclays and other big western banks, it's no longer about growing their balance sheets, about lending more and more. Their long term recovery requires deleveraging, shrinking, which is the corollary of the perceived need for western consumers and governments to pay down their respective debts. Here's the painful part: we may need banks to become smaller, but we all suffer if in the process they starve job-creating businesses of vital finance. Those who fear the worst won't be reassured by figures just released by the British Bankers Association (BBA), which show that net lending to non-financial businesses by banks fell £3.2bn in March. The BBA blames weak demand from companies. And although Barclays and the other banks have promised the Treasury, in their Project Merlin agreement, that they will meet the credit needs of the economy, my electronic postbag indicates that there remains quite a gap between their perception of deserving borrowers and yours. Update 11:15: As some of you have pointed out, ARM saw its profits increase to £51m not £51bn, as I originally said, whilst losses at the two London airports increased to £211.5m, not £211.5bn. Sorry for my brainstorm. I've probably been dealing in billions a little too often recently - due to the magnitude of our recent financial crisis. Full Article
