Klingbeil: Steuererhöhungen statt Einziehung krimineller Vermögen
Die Bundesregierung muss entscheiden, ob sie Steuererhöhungen vorschlägt oder kriminelle Gelder effektiver einzieht. Experten fordern ein Umdenken, um das Vertrauen in den Rechtsstaat zu stärken.

"New civil rights violations will be imagined, new vistas of anti-Americanism on campus will be discovered, and the attacks will continue." My colleague Suresh Naidu nails it.

The deal might as well say, "souls will be searched."

🧵 Sündenbock Klimapolitik? Klimaschutz wird zuletzt oft für Wettbewerbsverluste, Deindustrialisierung & Wohlstandseinbußen verantwortlich gemacht.

In @politischemeinung.bsky.social argumentieren wir: Das ist irreführend. Aus mindestens 3 Gründen führt an einem ehrgeizigen Klimakurs kein Weg vorbei.

“Our job is to evaluate science and evaluate it in an unbiased fashion,” Dr. Rubin said. “That’s what we do and I think we do it well. The questions seem to suggest that there’s some bias in what we do — that’s where the vaguely threatening part comes in.”
