Easy to say, difficult to do in practice.

It’s quite easy to get rid of billionaires (raise taxes, they will move away), but it’s a question whether it is really beneficial for the country.

There are hundreds of nuclear plants operating all over the world. Looks like they figured out a solution.

Eh, what? There are many countries with nuclear power plants. It seems like only in Germany it was an unsolvable problem.

How come that other countries manage to find places to store the spent fuel?

The decision to close them was purely political as an overreaction to Fukushima.

This pro-Putin party polls at around 30% at the moment.

Sure, I’m not disputing that.

The message I was reacting to claimed that since the money Austria pays to Russia isn’t spent directly on weapons in foreign countries, there’s no moral issue in doing that. Which is not true.

If Austria is really financing the war, then only if Russia used that money to buy war stuff from elsewhere

Does not compute. Money from Europe helps financing the war even if it’s domestic production. Money is fungible, you can’t say this specific euro or ruble is not used for weapons and therefore it’s ok to pay them. Western business helps prop up ruble exchange rate which limits inflation and domestic discontent, which allows Putin to spend more on domestic weapon production.

Of course you can choose to not trade with Russia if you’re neutral.

In these discussion all I hear is $$$

Eh, what? Anniversaries are not just to celebrate, but also to remind ourselves the evil deeds which happened and shouldn’t happen anymore.

Do you mean Fico in Slovakia?

Yeah, in Germany you get tax benefits under certain circumstances when married. In many other countries (e.g. Austria), marriage makes no difference. That’s already a strong motivator.
