Fight for a socialist future or join organisations/actions which do direct action against large pollutors, I'm thinking for example about Ende Gelände in Germany.

yes, fytoplankton, but those are plants too. THey'll be extinct in +/-500 years because of the ocean acidification, which is a result of the sea absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere.

Fun fact! In the Netherlands, Elsevier publishes a weekly magazine about politics, which is basically the written version of Fox News for that country. Very nice that those people control like 50% of all academic publishing.

The question was if heavier cars should pay more. Heavier cars are more expensive to buy, so this means that people who can afford a big car, will pay more. It's a sort of progressive taxation by proxy.

For context: don't forget that this isn't the US: not everyone drives an SUV/pick-uptruck. Here you can see the size of the most popular car in France, compared to a pick-up truck.

Since the link goes to the homepage, I didn't believe it at first. Here's the archived version of the article, for my fellow skeptics: https://archive.is/1IdVZ

Half of all economics experiments can not be replicated

Is there an actual study which makes this claim, like the one that exists in psychology? Or is this your intuïtion? Not doubting you btw. As a marxist economist, I'd just like the citation.

 

This is the second State House in which they've achieved electoral succes. In Styria they also have elected members, and since 2021 they've won the mayoral office in it's largest city: Graz.

what do the parties stand for:

  • ÖVP: Christian-Democrats, traditional centre-right party
  • SPÖ: Social-democrats
  • FPÖ: Extreme-right
  • Grüne: The Green Party
  • NEOS: Liberals
  • KPÖ: Communist Party

Some context about this election: It looks like the ultra-right was a big winner, but it's important to note that in the previous election another extreme-right party also participated in the elections, and got 4.5% of the vote. They're out of the picture now, and ÖVP now has those votes.
