West (not east) Berlin paid people to take the mouldings off their historic buildings. Nothing to do with affordable social architecture.

All governments are doing this now. Trump started it and his cronies and lobbyists in other governments followed suit. Project 2025 is well on its way.
That’s the one printed in red and blue, isn’t it?
It’s not just to do with WW2, both east and west Berlin loved tearing down and uglifying old buildings (seriously, west Berlin paid people to tear off decorations) for some reason.
Not too much sugar. Bread and pasta are fine as long as they’re not just cake disguised as bread (looking at you, America).

Berlin.
Many people hate Berlin. I don’t. It’s got so much variety, there are neighbourhoods surrounded by lakes, neighbourhoods that are basically in the woods, beautiful neighbourhoods like Charlottenburg and very urban neighbourhoods. Want something good to eat? There’ll be something amazing nearby. They have trams running through the forest. There are trains going to Amsterdam and Prague. You can get everywhere by public transport (outside town in Brandenburg too). It’s surrounded by a beautiful state, where you can watch cranes migrate in huge flocks and where you can skate on natural ice in winter.
I live near Freiburg now. Everybody loves Freiburg and the Black Forest. But I miss Berlin.

Because making public transport more attractive isn’t beneficial for politicians who are paid by the fossil fuel industry.

Unless you’re eating kosher, you’re eating blood when you eat meat, by the way.

Example of ethical use: in addition to human analysis, you can use AI to analyse mammograms. It can then peruse a huge database of images and diagnoses and may find tumors that a human alone may not have spotted.
