Man muss das @dorn_florian / @YannickBury -Steuerkonzept nicht gut finden. Aber es ist ein ernsthafter Aufräumversuch: weniger Steuern für alle, flacherer Mittelstandsbauch, kein Soli-Buckel. Die Machbarkeit ist brutal. Debatte darüber? Kaum. Warum eigentlich?

100% only thing to be added is that we are capable of turning this around

There certainly is some truth to this
I’m not sure I’ll let my kids run cross country. In my uneducated opinion: Competitive long distance running is not good for a human. Cycling is the same. These folks look 10-20 yr older than they are. Many have eating disorders and it is terribly sad - especially prevalent in the young ladies. Skin and hair look unhealthy on the folks who run really long distances competitively. Worse than football in my humble opinion… Am I wrong? What are your thoughts?

Like how @claychristensen defined value prop: Think of the value proposition as a contract between the customer and your company where the customer “hires” your company to solve a problem.
My co-founder Robin summarized the findings from a mammoth amount of conversations we had in the last couple of months. The European skilled worker shortage is getting more urgent by the day. #anpacken
In the past 1.5 years, I’ve talked to 100’s of people about the European workforce crisis. In this post, I want to give a quick introduction to the problem, discuss ways how to mitigate it and share what I’ve learned along the way. (1/n) 🧵 robindchnt.medium.com/europe…

„Uber hired a fifth of Harvard University’s graduating PhD class“👀 Why? They understand statistics + incentives/behavior + design great experiments
Amazon now has some 400 full-time economists on staff, several times as many as a typical research university. Meanwhile, last year Uber hired a fifth of Harvard University’s graduating PhD class econ.st/3TTGC7U
One of the realest moves I have seen in a while. I strongly admire this dirtbag (he calls himself). nytimes.com/2022/09/14/clima…

True—writing clarifies thinking. 💭

Employers must treat their employees as though they have come to stay—invest in developing them and show them a future in the organization, or watch them leave. Funding the development of knowledge, skills, and abilities is a strong trust signal. mckinsey.com/business-functi…

Ehm, no. In fact you decided against the Paris Agreement.
Historisch: Mit dem Kohleausstiegsgesetz schaffen wir heute in Bundestag und Bundesrat Sicherheit für Klimaschutz und Nachhaltigkeit. Allei dadurch reduzieren wir den CO2-Ausstoß um ein Drittel! Und schaffen Neue Arbeitsplätze für die Betroffenen!
