Summarization
This discussion looks at the issue of Germany having saved a lot, resulting in it now having lots of fiscal space. It also looks into the usage of Ermächtigungen zur Verschuldung to combat a current Notlage and the idea that foresight may have resulted in Germany spending more a decade ago. Children are discussed in terms of them being heavily affected by the Maßnahmen and the idea of heteronormative Kleinfamilien is talked about separately in comparison. Finally, an economic comparison is made with the UK having only slightly better Einkommensstatistik than Germany.
Topic Modeling
- Germany and its fiscal space
- Political dimensions of policies
- Children and their effects of policies

1623943617298538496 | @jsuedekum Zum einen ist es kein Geld, sondern es sind Ermächtigungen zur Verschuldung. Zum anderen unterliegen sie der Notlagenklausel der Schuldenbremse, die zur Bekämpfung einer aktuellen Notlage dient. Der investive Charakter von Ausgaben hat hier keine Bedeutung. @c_lindner @COdendahl | 5 |
1624059188908380160 | @COdendahl Indeed: https://t.co/p2ufzdOL6p | 4 |
1624057463820500992 | @COdendahl It's a brilliant cover. Here's the issue: if we had perfect foresight, Germany should have spent more a decade ago. But we don't, so Germany did the next best thing and saved a lot. As a result, it now has lots of fiscal space. I would say that is still a good place to be... | 2 |
1624061354612035587 | @RobinBrooksIIF @COdendahl Some things should have been predictable enough to overcome a horror of spending anything that looks like helicopter money. https://t.co/jyIwq1DPwi https://t.co/HlBy81xiCC | 1 |
1625556236019154944 | @LKwesiJ @COdendahl Hier übrigens zum Vergleich die Einkommensstatistik (von 2017). Also Zentrum hat niedrige Einkommen und wählt grün. Je höher die Einkommen umso CDU. https://t.co/nTGYOxwtOq | 1 |
1626989851458273280 | @COdendahl Ich will mich trotzdem höflich bedanken. Das haben wir gebraucht. | 0 |
1624149290711932947 | @TobyArnott2B @COdendahl @MLiebreich As any quantity with variance, yes obviously. | 0 |
1624182675283099649 | @TobyArnott2B @COdendahl @MLiebreich ?? That is the minimum demand. Historically used to set baseload levels. The point is that with PV and wind in the grid, the left over power demand can be below 0. So as stated previously, the concept is anachronistic and in a grid with high RE not helpful. | 0 |
1624171030959857664 | @ruben_menke @COdendahl @MLiebreich I was responding to: "With installed wind capacity slightly in excess of minimum demand there will be nights when there no is demand for a fossil plant at all. With a bit more PV this can even happen to the lunch peak." That's about supply options, not the existence of baseload. | 0 |
1624167725139386373 | @ruben_menke @COdendahl @MLiebreich So demand exists. And as it varies, it has a minimum. That is baseload, and it's not dead. Glad we cleared that up. | 0 |

1624408255903440898 | @tabouchadi @COdendahl @VeraSchroeder Weil hier die Kinder (nicht das Modell) im Zentrum stehen. Und sie überzogen stark von den Maßnahmen betroffen waren, was man jetzt auch an vielen Folgeschäden sieht. Über andere Gruppen ist damit noch gar nichts gesagt. Aber vielleicht sollten wir es damit bewenden lassen. | 7 |
1624404509093920772 | @tabouchadi @COdendahl @VeraSchroeder Dann begehst du wohl einen Kategorienfehler. Du sprichst zum Einstieg über Kinder, möchtest aber eigentlich etwas über heteronormative Familien sagen. Vielleicht sollte man das besser auseinanderhalten. | 4 |
1624410109559336960 | @tabouchadi @MauSteffen @COdendahl @VeraSchroeder Mach das! Zum Abschluss würde ich gerne noch etwas persönliches und vielleicht auch versöhnliches sagen. Das hat alles eine politische Dimension, aber eben auch eine persönliche. | 4 |
1623977718525095936 | @Sarkies_Proxy @COdendahl @Moonbootica The UK is only slightly better at around 67% | 3 |
1624433090897539078 | @BettiKohlrausch @tabouchadi @MauSteffen @COdendahl @VeraSchroeder Ja was ist Deine Definition von "heteronormativen Kleinfamilien"? Zählen Kinder mit einem alleinerziehenden Elternteil oder Kinder wo beide Elternteile versuchen, Beruf u Familie zu vereinbaren dazu? | 3 |
1624889164788338689 | @COdendahl Μαντεψε που ζουν οι συνταξιουχοι στα απλωμενα προαστεια με τις μονοκατοικιες @Reformist_ και που ζουν φοιτητες και νεοι επαγγελματιες. | 3 |
