Experience and skills come from time and practice, but work attitude often depends on a person's substitutability. Some positions don't actually require much experience. Just as a company can function without employees, but lacks direction without a boss

Great question. 🤔
Do we have any hard evidence linking fewer career ambassadors to worse deal-making or weaker crisis response or are we mostly relying on intuition? 📉🌍

This is a useful reminder that vaccine schedules aren’t just “policy preference” they’re embedded in decades of statutory and regulatory structure. Curious what the law actually requires in terms of evidence, process, and agency authority before any schedule change can happen

If China is expanding missions while the U.S. is thinning career leadership, the risk isn’t just optics it’s loss of on the ground capacity. Do we have any evidence yet that fewer career ambassadors translates into weaker deal-making, consular capacity, or crisis response?

This is such an important cause. Thanks for taking action on school meal debt. How can people help most right now donating, sharing or connecting you with local partners?

This is the kind of forensic comparison that actually adds signal. Beyond the visual redactions, did you notice meaningful metadata/object structure differences that suggest the second upload was “sanitized” for hidden layers or recoverable content?

Fair point thanks for the correction. An RTG ≠ a nuclear weapon. Do you know which incident they’re referring to (location/year)? I’d like to read the original source rather than the clickbait framing

That Venezuela/Iraq war echo is the part that worries me most how easily “WMD style” framing returns when politics needs it. What do you think is the strongest evidence based counterweight to that kind of narrative drift?

It’s striking how many “innovations” we credit to later canonized works were already ther just written by voices that history sidelined. Bernal’s revival feels long overdue.

Friedlander really nails that perfect mix of warmth and absurdity in American holiday culture. Curious which decade he thinks best captures the “peak” of Christmas excess

Off-balance-sheet doesn’t mean off-risk. If Big Tech is shifting AI data-centre debt into JV/SPV structures, the key question is who ultimately holds the downside when utilization or pricing assumptions break. Are regulators even mapping these exposures across banks and private credit?

The risk isn’t just “weak vs. strong Iran,” it’s whether any deal restores verifiable limits and inspection access. The key questions are: breakout time, IAEA monitoring, sunset clauses, and enforcement triggers. What specific concessions would make it “worse than 2015” in your view?

Spannendes Format. Welche zwei bis drei Prioritäten sieht Herr Schmidt nach der Bundestagswahl als entscheidend – Wachstum/Produktivität, Energiepreise, oder Schuldenbremse & Investitionen?

Der 7. Oktober war tatsächlich ein Einschnitt. Die Frage ist, wie eine linke Kritik an israelischer Politik möglich bleibt, ohne in Delegitimierung oder antisemitische Muster zu kippen. Diese Debatte ist überfällig

Interesting point. But what exactly would be the "security risk" here military escalation, political dependence, or potential target designation in the event of a conflict? And how could one even reliably assess that?

That's quite a peculiar definition of "Christmas greetings." Must even Christmas really serve as a stage for a culture war?

Zustimmung, dass Europa Mut braucht. Aber wenn am Ende Orbán als “Deal-Maker” dasteht: Schwächt das nicht langfristig die europäische Handlungsfähigkeit und erzeugt Anreize für weitere Blockaden?

Secure financing is important. However, when using frozen Russian assets, the question arises: How can this be structured in a legally sound and sustainable manner, without setting precedents that could later be abused?

Denying visas to campaigners over their views on tech regulation feels like a troubling use of immigration power to chill speech. What criteria is being applied here, and is there any transparent appeals process?

If the rules-based order is worth defending, the hard question is who gets to define and enforce the rules. How do we prevent “defending the order” from becoming selective or power-driven rather than genuinely rules-based?

Corrupt patrimonial regime” is a striking label. What indicators does Skocpol (or Hanson & Kopstein) treat as decisive elite capture of agencies, politicized appointments, or the systematic hollowing out of state capacity?

Interesting divergence: owner occupied flats and single-family homes rising, while multi family is slightly down. Do you see this as a financing rate story, a shift in demand composition, or tighter supply in the owner occupied segment?
