Truly an xkcd #1172 situation.

I’d say for me it would depend what the monument stands for.

The problem with this is that there's often multiple interpretations. Is it a monument to the celebrate the defeat of Nazism, or to glorify the paternalist role of the Soviet Union over the Warsaw Pact countries? You can't really say it's only one or the other - you can only decide which one matters more to the society at a given point in time.

I think that when there's no consensus about an interpretation in a society, a good place to start is with contextualisation. A high-profile but contentious monument should come with a small open-air museum that provides the context of what the monument was intended to stand for, what where the motivations of those who built it, and how it came to be seen as the time passed.

Then, time will tell if the society decides to interpret it one way or the other. At some point it will be clear if it should stay or go.

income-proportional fee structure for government services?

This is income tax.

And if the strike spreads to Germany, which it very well could, it could mean the cease of operation of the Model Y factory in Berlin, which would be devastating to them.

A big problem is that Germany's labour laws do not allow sympathy or political strikes. A strike can only be legally called in association with a collective bargaining agreement negotiation/dispute.

Germany will be the weak link in this cross-country wave of strikes.

Yes, but in the absence of other factors, "cold tolerance" is something that can change by habituation.

Hurra für Gadgetbahn!

It is rather problematic that such a matter of technical nature has been codified into the constitution as a universal value.

Weird how it's the liberals who support such an overreaching law.

I would agree. To the extend that OP's thesis is true (which I don't think is fully true, but also not fully wrong either), I also find that the readiness to compromise both at the EU level and in most member-state parliaments that eventually need to transpose the directives into national laws, is a difference that stands out.

A multi-party system helps too, because there can be situational alliances that do not divide the parties internally. E.g. in one topic the Social Democrats, the Moderate Right and the Liberals can be on the same side and pass something (probably a free-trade deal) and on another topic the Social Democrats, the Greens, and the Left can pass something else (probably an environmental regulation). When there are only two parties in the legislature, such alliances break party lines, so it's a higher hurdle to overcome.

That’s how American ISPs do it.

That's how the German Telekom does it too with other connection options. It's definitely not an insurmountable problem for ISPs.

Please note that the question is not whether delivery vans can be replaced by cargo bikes. In most situations, the answer is clearly yes, no doubt.

It's about whether cargo bike-based delivery can guarantee the same level of service that customers expect now from delivery vans, or that, indeed as the Dutch politician warns, people will have to accept that same-day delivery can no longer be promised.

There have been a lot of articles in press about TikTok being responsible for the rise of interest in literature by young people, as the article also mentions.

At the end, it probably was either a planted story, or memetic evolution triggered by one journalist noticing something in their environment that wasn't a general trend.

The article reads so generically, as if it's soul it isn't there and it's only forced to talk about this issue but it rather it didn't.

But the issue is existentially important. Seems like I'm not ready to write in which ways, but definitely it's not so clinical and buzzword-heavy like the article presents it.
