Hey Maurice!

About the numbers of the Police officers in the RBB documentary, they are fake in many ways and statistically flawed, as the divulgation video "Die unangenehme Wahrheit hinter Rassentheorie" from the famous scientific communicator Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim (not in english though). It is available on youtube. Thanks for your substack. I enjoy it a lot!

You are so right about migration! IMO, the future is that people's smart phones will put them on the welfare and taxation strategy of a new country as soon as they walk over a border. This would be the most congruent thing with the universal declaration of human rights. One** of the biggest issues though is that labour unions worry about wages getting undermined. Business leaders apparently call the BMAS all the time begging for access to the migrants they see, but the BMAS / SDP have trouble getting all their ducks in a row. (** other issues: privacy concerns about being trackable by phone especially if you are fleeing abuse, everyone having a smart phone, but these are both manageable exceptions that need anyway to be handled for a number of reasons, many domestic.)

Also totally agree on Amazon. So evil to have a business model of using VC to undercut a market until you're the only one in it, then start raising prices so you can do it to the next one...
