GermanyA Cool Idea, with a Hefty Price TagBernd2021-05-30 05:05:54 · 5yNo. 115101reply
This story is already two years old, but let me share it since I just discovered it again and the protagonist happens to be a retard from my city, Marburg.
 
>Jannik Schestag, 24, was one of the main organizers of the demonstration, and in the run-up to the event, the college student conducted a publicity tour to reassure parents in Prague, Vienna, Warsaw, Munich and Leipzig. The math wizz also almost single-handedly took care of the logistics, so that thousands of young people could travel to the event at fair prices. In addition to buses, he also wanted to use trains, borrowing a page from the special train that Ende Gelände chartered to transport people to the lignite protest.
 
>On this front, there are different accounts of what happened. Some say that the finance working group advised Schestag against the move. Others say that many of the local groups thought chartering a train was a "cool" idea. No one knows who actually has the authority to make that kind of financial decision -- does it lie with the many local groups or with the finances working group? In any case, Schestag chartered the trains.
 
>But in the Czech Republic, where 1,000 activists were to travel to the event, only 150 expressed an interest in the train. There was also a shortage of bookings on the FFF website. Two trains had to be cancelled, with the cancellation fees costing 17,058 euros each. In the end, the train plan set Schestag back by 73,000 euros, money he had to tap the inheritance left behind by his deceased father to cover.
 
>It currently looks as though he not be compensated for all of that. Tough negotiations are being conducted internally over the amount that Schestag should be reimbursed. Should he just receive the revenues generated from the tickets? That wouldn't even cover half of his costs. "I'm done with Fridays for Future," says the student, who has been out sick since the protest. "The worst thing isn't even the money. The worst part is that I'll never be able to rely on anyone else again."
 
tl;dr: 24 y/o male student probably saw himself as a hero and lost 70.000 euros for a failed friday for future demonstration
 
additional info: the money lost was what his father inherited to the student upon death
 
Lörs onions?

Thats shocking but not surprising considering the level of global dumbification.

Do you really believe that people are getting more stupid?
 
I've got this theory that people always were so dumb and all that changed is that now they can simply upload their stupidity to the internet and share it with everyone, which leads to the effect that we just think that people are becoming more dumb.

Would be a leftist event? If yes, then I have no remorse for him.
