Or also on the question of how a report on the Daily Crve could mutate into a sweeping blow from sustainability to world politics to stupid people. Fascinating. Maybe I'll postpone the daily curve until next time. I'm currently occupied with a completely different topic with exciting similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can the earth still be saved? I don't think so. We have irreparably ruined so much of it, are irreparably ruining so much of it and will irreparably ruin so much of it. While politicians do nothing or too little to put an end to the madness. To be fair, one has to admit that the people don't really want it either and that it is not a priority in their lives. Be it because they lack education, knowledge and understanding, or because of elements such as war, poverty or wrong traditions. There are plenty of reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is clear that it is difficult at the international level anyway. As long as politicians are at the top, as is the case in Russia, China, Turkey and, I fear, soon again in the USA, a global rethink seems unlikely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing will happen at European level in the near future. It's every man for himself. I am absolutely in favour of the EU. When the British left, I was frustrated, shocked and disappointed - especially as a half-English person. Kind of like that. But let me put it this way, every voter has at least one issue that interests them. I'm interested in the protection of species. If the EU is just as incompetent in the areas that interest voters as it is in species protection, well, then please don't be surprised if the EU is penalised. Don't misunderstand. Punishing it doesn't do anyone any good. I'm just saying that you shouldn't be surprised if there are consequences. To stay with species protection, we are not only incapable of banning cruelty to animals without exception. We don't even manage to effectively enforce the few existing environmental protection laws. So... Difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don't even need to start at national level. What was that about coal mining? With the already ridiculously puny and still missed targets? The funding - or should I say non-funding? - for research and development of alternative drive methods? That's simply nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So no, it will definitely suck, we won't save it anymore. Now, and only now, we decide through action (or, in the worst case, non-action) only how shitty it will be. We should at least not blow this chance. Because it's the last one the universe will give us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now I have to somehow find my way back from the big picture to my almost insignificant little light. Maybe I'll tell a joke. Carer says \u201eOh my God!\u201c. I reply \u201eHere.\u201c. No? Not funny? As an agnostic atheist, I find it twice as funny. Now? Still not funny? All right. Let's get back to the real topic. My daily documentation for the current week. Unfortunately, it's pretty patchy because I was too lazy to think about how to conceptualise it. Creating a new page every day seems excessive to me. I can't display more than 8 days without a scroll bar. So I decided to update the past eight days on a rotating basis. After each calendar week there will be a new post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially after this week, which has been an ups and downs of emotions, the question arises as to how much influence I myself have at all. It's a bit like the earth. There are those who look after you well and respect your needs. And then there are others who don't. Because they don't understand, because they always want to get their own way, because they know everything better or, unfortunately, in both cases, because they are simply lazy. Using this week's specific example, old Swede, I've had it all. From super good care, where I don't have to explain anything, to I don't even know what to say, care characterised by constant discussion about what's good for me, deliberately lying about what I'm supposed to have said, ending with hours of trying to change the mask because you always know everything better and don't even listen to your own colleagues who say \u201eer, you're doing something wrong\u201c...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or excitements like the one we just had. Delicious. It's early evening. Every \u201enormal\u201c office worker is off work. Not so, my care service. They send you the time sheet to sign - it's the first of the month after all, it can be billed. And if I haven't signed it within twenty minutes, my carer's mobile phone rings. They've sent me an email that I haven't answered yet, he\/she has to remind me. Cheeky. Rude. Impudent. Annoying. Will someone stop me? Otherwise I can go on like this until tomorrow morning. It wasn't the first time today. And not the second time either. Okay, it's been happening systematically for months. First on the part of the management, then I think the PDL was also put forward and well, now it's some girl from the office who addresses me in a very friendly way with \u201ePatrick, would you...\u201c, although I imagine I don't even know her. But you better not want anything from them. I don't even ask for the agreed duty rota as a PDF so that I can enter it in my diary. But even WhatsApp messages like \u201eHelp! Your new carer fell asleep on her first shift and I can't manage to wake her up.\u201c are not even acknowledged with a reply. These are the moments that bring me back down to earth. The management simply doesn't give a shit as long as the money flows. As cool as it makes me feel now, a few hours later, this incident has made my pulse race again today. It's fascinating, when a six-figure project threatens to fail, I can sleep peacefully and find pragmatic solutions. But working with people who behave disrespectfully towards me gives me a real stomach ache. Literally. Here, too, the comparison with the earth fits surprisingly well. But really. The question with care services is not whether it will be shit, but only when and how shit it will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oder auch zur Frage, wie ein Bericht zur Tageskrve mutieren konnte zum Rundumschlag von Nachhaltigkeit \u00fcber Weltpolitik zu dummen Menschen. Faszinierend.
