Democracy beyond Corona Diverse democracy immunizes against authoritarian impositions.
Whether the experiences of the lockdown will result in lasting damage in the sense of a democratically consumptive "new normality" depends not least on whether it is possible to take up and strengthen the very existing democracy-building impulses and initiatives - from "Black Lives Matter" to "Fridays for Future"....

Debts are not a problem Rich states can easily get into debt-and the financial markets expect this. Modern Money Theory states that our economic system cannot function at all without national debt. Deficits are good, not bad. Democrats want a big stimulus package. Keynesians like Paul Krugman have always called for government investments when the economy is paralyzed....

Big Pharma profits at any price There is no shortage of money: the EU is at the same time providing immense sums of money to prevent further people fleeing from the theaters of war, including European states, from entering the country. The budget for the refugee defense agency Frontex alone has more than tripled between 2015 and 2020 - from 140 million to 460 million euros. Wars since 2001 have produced 37 mill refugees...

Biden's Election Victory based on Labor & Black Vote It is now official; Joe Biden has been elected president, defeating an incumbent president, a difficult task. This occurred in the midst of a pandemic that claimed 239,000 lives in 8 months due to gross negligence on the part of the incumbent president, accompanied by the incumbent’s destruction of the economy so that we now have a Great Depression the same as the 1930s. In addition, while the incumbent president states “science does not know,” we have a massive climate change crisis that ma...

Employment growth is slowing down....
