I disagree since overtaking a cyclist in the same lane is unsafe anyway. In the city I always cycle in the middle of the lane because it prevents unsafe takeovers and dooring.

Dazu kommt dieser merkwürdige Anspruch, dass sich die Koalitionspartner "verstehen" sollen. Nein, die sollen sich nicht "verstehen", sondern möglichst gut ihre Interessen und die ihrer Partei durchsetzen. Diese Interessen sind nun einmal oft unvereinbar (v.a. wenn die FDP mitmischt).

Ich bin da immer froh um den Aufwachen-Podcast, der diese teilweise grauenhafte Berichterstattung aufarbeitet.

Gibts seit diesem Jahr wieder ;)

Ok, then explain how it works. Where does money in circulation come from?

Even though I think banning unnecessary plastic items is fine and can lead to sensible innovation/more reuse, the debate around it is just a misdirection. Way more microplastic is due to car tyres or.fishing nets. Those have very big industries behind them that will fight tooth and nail against any regulation.

Your question is literally answered in a sibling comment.

You realise that debt of the government is equal to wealth in the private sector? Being debt-free would mean that there is no central bank money in circulation. How would this help the actual economy?
