Angesichts der nun all-täglichen #Milliarden an #Staatshilfe für Konzerne drängt sich die Idee einer am #Gemeinwohl orientierten #BundesBenchmark auf - Auftakt der Debatte hier - und heute #Konkretisierung: (1)
Morgen beim #Autogipfel wird erneut intransparent und ohne Bürgerbeteiligung über Unsummen entschieden - diese werden fehlen: Für #Daseinsvorsorge #Bildung #Gesundheit #Klimaschutz #Europa u.v.m. (2)
Warum sind uns #Autoprämien wichtiger als funktionierende #Zuschüsse für Selbständige und #KMU? Wie nutzen wir die #Coronakrise als Chance, um genau jetzt unsere Industrien auf #Klimaziel von 1,5 Grad zu transformieren? (3)

"Patients are getting crushed financially because of UnitedHealth’s actions. And, some doctors may as well,” Potter says, concluding that, “As ER docs & other #Physicians risk their lives treating #COVID19 patients, @UnitedHealth is playing games to rake in profits.

Lieber @hankrainer, Wachstum und wirtschaftliche Aktivität zurückzufahren, wenn das dem Wohlergehen aller dient, hat zwar etwas mit #Degrowth zu tun. Aber da hört es auch schon auf... Denn in Wachstumsökonomien sind Rezessionen soziale Krisen.
Aber Regierungen könnten viel aus der Diskussion um Postwachstumspolitiken lernen - nämlich wie Wohlergehen ohne Wachstum sichergestellt werden kann:

As a former secretary of labor, I can tell you that we shouldn't be talking about stimulating the economy or going back to work.
We should be talking about shutting down the economy and keeping people home, with enough money so they can pay their bills.

Every bit of taxpayer money should be spent helping workers who need income, people who need help paying medical bills, and hospital workers who need protective gear.
Not one penny should be spent bailing out giant corporations.
This is a pandemic. The economy is irrelevant.

Corporations don't need bailouts. They have assets that'll be as valuable when this is over as they were before it started. They can get low-interest loans & use assets as collateral. Or they can use ch. 11 of the bankruptcy code to reorganize their debts until the crisis passes.
#WallStreet sees a public health crisis as an opportunity to profit, and it shows in the McConnell #bailout plan, a multi-trillion-dollar giveaway to corporate America that @GoldmanSachs may actually run! Check it out and fight back: THREAD 1/10 washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…
The plan envisions two pots of money for the bailout, $75 billion pot and a $425 billion pot. The smaller pot (for airlines and industries deemed important for national security) has some restrictions on it, but they are minimal 2/10
Executives couldn’t earn more than what they did the previous year (a record year for airline bosses) the restrictions last only 2 years, even though the loans from the $75 billion pot would last 5 years. No requirement to give taxpayers equity. Minimal buyback limitations 3/10
