How do tech founder-CEOs such as Zuckerberg and Musk stay in control of tech monopolies? @davvkamp argues that venture capital follows a winners-take-all logic, with founder control crucial post-2010, explaining the concentration of power in US Tech.

Wann Sondervermögen „Soziales“ und „Klima“?
ALT „Mindestens 100 Millionen Euro zusätzlich" Städte fordern mehr Geld für die Polizei - SPD erwägt Sondervermögen Nach dem Attentat von Solingen ist die innere Sicherheit in den Fokus gerückt. Der Gemeindebund fordert mehr Mittel für die Polizei. SPD-Parlamentarier bringen gar ein eigenes Sondervermögen ins Spiel.

An IDF commander is asked, "How do you identify who is a terrorist?"
His answer, "We attacked on the side of the street to drive civilians away, and whoever did not flee, even if he was unarmed, as far as we were concerned, was a terrorist"
