The stock market and being able to make money just by having money is the most fucked up thing and the cause for every single thing wrong with capitalism. If that was fixed we'd all do a lot better.
To imagine there was an era when interests where considered the work of the devil.

I can't agree with this post any more than I do now. The whole point of capitalism is to make money by doing/making something that society deems worth something. What the fuck do stock traders actually do to make everyone better and add to society? Make rich companies even richer, so the rich can all make money together without doing shit.
I'd say a good chunk actively harms society with speculation bullshit driving up prices. They're basically gambling with food and stuff.

Renewable energies? I pay that shit, Volkswagen doesn't. Oh it's only twice what my electricity bill would be on top. I'll say that again, for every 1k I pay in electricity, I pay 2k purely in tax bullshit, thanks to all the fucking windmills that are absolutely everyfuckingwhere here in the north. And the cunts aren't even running most of the time. Because why would they when they have 75% of the potential income of them guaranteed even if they are turned completely off.
I tell ya, this is like the most ass-backwards, Bizzaro-logic nonsense our God-Empress Merkel ever pulled off: Thanks to guaranteed minimum prices for the blokes building all these windmills, energy becomes
more expensive the
cheaper it gets. Except when you're in the steel industry or some other energy-intensive industry, then you pay
less the
more energy you need.
Though the best thing is how Merkel has been lecturing other countries about how important renewable energies are, as if Germany is some kind of prime example of how to pull it off. Except her plans are bullshit (see the above paragraph), we still use lots of coal, and the only reason all of this happened and she didn't just focus on nuclear energy like she originally intended was that whole Fukushima thing. Because having a German nuclear plant be gang-raped by an earthquake and a tsunami is so likely. And it's not like this will actually protect us considering there are a quite a lot of very old foreign nuclear plants right at our borders.
