Das ist soziale Marktwirtschaft!

Aktuell kann man sehr schön sehen, was soziale Marktwirtschaft eigentlich bedeutet: einer kassiert, alle zahlen, oder auch "Keiner für alle, alle für einen".
Ein paar Beispiele:

Lufthansa

Marktwirtschaft: Gewinne werden in Steueroasen (nicht/günstigst) versteuert, der Konzern gewinnt, der Staat und damit der Steuerzahler bekommt nichts.

Hurra, sie fliegen wieder! Und im Gegensatz zu Restaurants, Theatern, etc.sogar in voller Besetzung, jede Reihe und auch die Mittelsitze sind belegt. Sonst würde sich der Flug ja nicht rechnen. Im Gegensatz zu Restaurants, Theatern, etc. ... die Kleinen können das doch viel besser ab.

Die soziale Komponente: der Steuerzahler gibt 9 Mio Euro "Kredit" an an Unternehmen, das an der Börse nicht einmal die Hälfte Wert ist und erhält dafür gerade einmal 1/5 der Aktien und kaum Mitbestimmungsrechte - am besten gar keine.

BMW

Marktwirtschaft: Der Konzern macht 8 Mrd Euro Gewinn und schüttet 1,6 Mrd Euro an seine Aktionäre aus.

Die soziale Komponente:der Steuerzahler bezahlt 40.000 Kurzarbeiter beim Unternehmen, das ja sonst die Mitarbeiter aus finanziellen Gründen entlassen müsste. Zudem fordert es vehement eine zusätzliche Förderung des Autokaufs, insbesondere für die wenig umweltverträglichen Diesel-SUVs und sonstige "Rennwagen".

Pflegepersonal

Marktwirtschaft: Die Pflegeindustrie kann den Mitarbeitern einfach nicht mehr bezahlen. Da würden ja die Gewinne leiden. Die Qualität leidet ohnehin schon seit langem.

Die soziale Komponente:Applaus, Applaus, Applaus. Und wir zahlen dem Pflegepersonal eine einmalige Prämie von 1.500 Euro. Das Staatssäckel und Pflegekassen werden dadurch insgesamt mit geschätzten 1 Mrd Euro belastet. Kommando zurück, das können wir uns wegen der vielen anderen Ausgaben (siehe oben) nicht leisten. Aber es bleibt ja immer noch der Applaus.

Umkehren!

Wie wäre es mit einem 5-minütigen Applaus für Autokonzerne und Lufthansa? Dafür verzichten diese auf staatliche Zuschüsse und Sonderprogramme, und wie haben Geld, um dem Pflegepersonal dauerhaft einen anständigen Lohn zu zahlen.

Trump Identified Source of Coronavirus

Reportedly the most intelligent President of the great USA found the source of the corona virus while, as so often, daydreaming

Washington, D. C. - Trump said that he suddenly remembered from his school days (Trump: "I could have skipped school and gone straight to university at age 11, you know, may uncle was a scientist, and I am very intelligent, but I chose to stay with my mates who always looked up to me. Without me, who would they have had to look up to?") ... oh-oh, we lost the train of thought here.

OK, so he remembered that the coronavirus had already been mentioned during his school time: "They said that the sun had a corona, so it must have been infected already years ago!".

He even showed a picture to prove it:

Trump continued: "This explains why the virus first hit China, then Europe, and later the US. Not many people know that, but I can tell you that the sun travels from east to west, hence the different stages of infection over time. This explains it all folks!".

Trump said that he stayed safe by avoiding the sun and only using his solarium. He recommended that the public do the same: "Just stay in your house all day and eat in your solarium, only go out at night for drinks".

In other news Trump denied allegations that he had accidentally escaped a Chinese laboratory after a failed genetic experiment.

Trump Invents Battery Charger that Runs on Batteries

Trump Invents Battery Charger that Runs on Batteries

In an overnight stunt the president of the United States has come up with a revolutionary idea that will rebuild the American automobile industry.

WASHINGTON — The greatest and most intelligent president studied all about electronics and manufacturing processes last night. Then he came up with a new invention; he said “I cannot believe that it took the great president of the great Immerican, uh, American people, to tell specialists how to do this. But I have done this many time before, because I am so smart”.

At a meeting with scientists he explain that electric cars worked on batteries: “Not many people know that these cars run on electricity and need batteries. And all cars, as everyone knows, have built-in alternators, which produce electricity.”

The president stated that using the alternator, the electric car could charge batteries while driving: “Heck, if we leave out the carburetor, we could even fit in a second alternator and double the production of elec...trons, electronics, eh, electrocity.”

He said that he had already built a concept-car that can carry and charges 2.000 batteries at the same time: “It may have become a bit large, but anyone can handle an 18-wheeler, right? Right?”.

He concluded saying that his work not only helped the great American automobile industry to win over their competition, but the charged batteries may even be, very like, possibly, potentially be a cure for the foreign Chinese virus: “I feel like I have killed two birds ... giant birds ...  ostriches ... or something bigger like a, you know, Buckbeak ... like I have killed two of these ... or even more with one ... um ... oh look here, one gun.”

In case this genius concept should not work, he preemptively classified his idea as "... potentially could be sarcasm, who knows?"
