How can this crap pass out of City areas? I guess you could place a ban on coal and wood burning in a city of many millions just because air-pollution is so high, but elsewhere this doesnt even make sense.In general, people in cities have gas central heating and electricity off of the main grid. It is those in rural communities who lack these that will suffer. Maybe the idea is to get everyone out of rural areas into smart cities?
Maybe the idea is to get everyone out of rural areas into smart cities?Makes sense only if they plan on maintaining/taking over food production, rural areas are feeding the cities. I think this is more in line with climate scare propaganda. But if coal and wood are the only way that these people can get heating this law is insane. Take heating and you might as well kill people come winter time.
History
As described above, Karneval is associated with festivals of the Christian
church (wild partying before Lent begins). However, it goes back to pagan
times, and was a way of driving out the evil spirits of winter and encouraging
the coming of spring and good crops. Ugly masks worn for this purpose are
still worn in carnival festivals in southern Germany. Karneval can be traced
back to pagan Roman festivals, which may explain why Köln and Mainz, two
ancient cities with Roman history, have such big carnivals. In the Middle
Ages, Karneval gave the people a break from the tightly structured class
system, as they were able to hide their social background behind imaginative
masks and costumes. Poor people were able to mix with all other levels of
society and share fun with them. In those days people would dress up as
knights, damsels and even priests, as a way of making fun of them. In a
similar way, people these days sometimes wear masks which make fun of
well-known politicians or celebrities.
