What's the problem? Corporations in the US regularly pressure local governments to use eminent domain to obtain development land, either for residential or commercial use. That is until the fallout from Kelo.
Fake news that this would create any form of outrage. I love it when poor Murican mod bots get fooled by British tabloids. Basically the only source they have so they probably also think the euro has failed, the EU broken up and we have civil war helter skelter all over central Europe
So the government confiscating homes, then making the owner of those homes foot the bill on top of that, won't cause any outrage from many parts of the populace? Maybe I'm thinking from an American-centric point of view, but if that happened over here, I believe there'd be hell to pay. Every right wing politician would use this to fuel for the fire.
You're thinking whatever British rightwing asswipe tabloids tell you to think. Where do you think people lived during post war time in half to two-third destroyed cities when additional 13 mil refugees from the east were relocated into the western ocupation zones?
We're not talking about a war torn country post WWII. We're talking about a prosperous, modern, country that's forcing private owners to give up their property to illegal immigrants, most of which are economic migrants, not Syrian refugees. But you know what? It's your country. If you have no problem with the government confiscating homes of your fellow citizens and giving them up to immigrants and stuff like that. More power to you. As long as it doesn't happen in 'Murica.'
Gutted a largely Black neighborhood and several Black businesses here a few decades ago for an interstate. But I guess YB thinks it's different when the "takers" are immigrants
More importantly, as far as I am concerned, good news for Merkel (who I think has been the only adult running a major Western country for the last decade) and really good news for the FDP (which if I were German would be my party of choice). .
A few DECADES ago?! Really? That you're counter argument. Also, they didn't confiscate their land and then also make them pay for the highway. Either way, I'm against eminent domain for any reason.
This is an article from 3 years ago about the very same building with the very same owner. http://www.mopo.de/hamburg/leerstan...roht-dreistem-vermieter-mit-enteignung-538978 The city was trying to force him to rent his empty apartments already back then. Apparently they finally got fed up with his bullshit. Also I can't find a single article with the "refugee" angle the gatestone propagande scumbags put on this.
I think youve just proven what I said before: Next time I want some info on Japan I will pull a YB too and use some gutter paper from China.
Economists Jeremy Cliffe normally gives a well informed English speaking view on German speaking elections. Austria snap elections confirmed. 864499486831378436 is not a valid tweet id 864500324001869824 is not a valid tweet id
That was the presidential elections and it took 3 attempts. This is about the parliament and chancellor
https://correctiv.org/blog/ruhr/art...-nrw-die-tops-und-flops-der-rechtspopulisten/ Graphic showing where AfD did best. The red dot is Gelsenkirchen II, Schalke 04 territory. 15,22% there. 14,11% in Gelsenkirchen I. Industrial heartland of the Ruhr valley. It seems like with the rust belt and France's north the rightwing populists do best there. SPD has a clear structural problem ahead of the general elections where the working class, working poor or jobless run away to leftist or rightwing populists.
So basically Angie can get ther coalitions through in SH (Jamaika) and NRW (black-yellow) and it doesnt look like she is going to lose much constituencies either in fall. Even though that doesnt mean much in a proportional system with overhang seats. But it could blow up the new Bundestag to epic proportions. 598 seats are normal, could be up to 700-800 in the end. 867659430418100224 is not a valid tweet id
No, they just compensated the owners at the lowest possible excuse for market value, then left any renters to fend for themselves in increasingly scarce affordable housing markets
Typical Merkel ad. She appears like 2 seconds in it Every morning a new day begins when every single one should have a fair chance to live their own ideas and follow their own ways. CDU works towards this. On every single day. CDU. "The center".
Who is her greatest threat? If it's a 'Trump" she has no way to lose no? But you're right....has she become like HRC, who minimized her on air time because interest went down every time she was on the air?
I know that you've got this fixation on relitigating the 2016 primary a year later (Why? I don't know. Hillary lost, which I guess was the most important thing.), but this is an extraordinarily bad take. Merkel has been elected and re-elected Chancellor three times already, in 2005, 2009, and 2013. She keeps accomplishing this because she is the leader of a party (the CDU) with whom the German people are more or less content. Just because she's a woman "of a certain age" doesn't mean that she's the German Hillary Clinton.
I support her and my wife and adult kids, German Citizens, do as well...so there's that. Given what's happened in America, her leaving is the worst thing that could happen. Id say she's the "new" leader of the free world. We are kind of a laughingstock ATM. As far as "like HRC," I don't know, that's why I was asking.
