In der Rentendebatte warnt der frühere Chef des Ifo-Instituts Hans-Werner Sinn eindringlich vor den Folgen niedriger Geburtenraten und hoher Schulden der Babyboomer. „Die Situation der Jungen ist fatal“, sagte Sinn gegenüber „t-online“.
Die Babyboomer-Generation habe zu wenige Kinder bekommen, um das Rentensystem zu tragen, und mache nun hohe Schulden, „um für sich die Konsequenzen zu vermeiden – während die Jungen die Schulden an der Backe haben“.
Sinn erwartet, dass die demografischen Folgen bald deutlich werden und zu gesellschaftlichem Umdenken führen. „Der liebe Gott wird unser demografisches Problem nicht lösen“, mahnt er.

Ukrainian forces successfully attacked Russian vehicles in the capital city of Kyiv thanks to a public tip made through the encrypted messaging app Telegram, Ukraine's top law-enforcement agency said on Tuesday. Two days after Russia invaded Ukraine, an account on the Telegram messaging platform posing as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged his armed forces to surrender. The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform. Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. "He has kind of an old-school cyber-libertarian world view where technology is there to set you free," Maréchal said.
