In Germany most have a girl-card

I assume autocorrect screwed you?

For anyone else reading this: no, there is no such thing as girl-cards.

Tbf, one minister's opinion is not necessarily the opinion of the government as a whole.
Unless it's Lindner apparently.

Where’s the NATO equivalent

Headquartered in Moscow.

Now think for yourself why Ukraine would rather protect itself from being invaded by Russia than by the US.

Unfortunately that's exactly how it works.
Look at any country's border and tell me which ones weren't established by violence.

The actual question is, what alternative to accepting Israel's existence would you propose. Because forcefully removing them would just be one more crime.

Yes, opposing the establishment of a new state with a new population where someone else already lived would have been appropriate in the late 1940s.

Unfortunately it's 2024 now, Israel does exist and time is linear.
So the only thing that can be done now is to recognize neither Israel nor Palestine should be erased.
(Though pointing out that the latter doesn't seem to get mentioned here would be appropriate.)

Fractional-reserve banking

That has already become outdated, at least according to some economists.
Banks can just create loans out of thin air without having to check their own reserves first.

and the houses will not go on the market

I understand the other arguments but I'm confused about this one.
If houses that were used to house tourists are no longer allowed to do so, why would they not become available for either rent or sale?
What else is there for the owners to do with them?

Barcelona still has plenty of regular commercial Hotels that are purpose built to house many tourists.

somehow an even bigger clusterfuck

I agree that rejoining won't magically solve all problems but I don't see how it would make things worse.

austerity measure after austerity measure and somehow made our budgetal deficit worse

Not surprising.
Reducing government spending means reducing the money that is in economic circulation.
Companies earn less, people earn less and ultimately taxes go down.

Ah, I see.
So the water is not too warm for cooling, it's too warm to absorb the backfeed, which is a necessary result of the cooling process.
Which effectively still means that they can't properly cool the plant because the river water is too warm.
