Yesterday, I watched a German movie called "Der Untergang", or "The Downfall" in English, about the last days of the
Tausendjähriges Reich in the Führerbunker. Hitler's madness, cold evil of Magda Goebbels, rational reasonings of the army generals, all blended into a quite good movie. There are only three "good" persons there, the young secretary, obviously, because it's her story; Ernst-Günther Schenck, the heroic SS doctor taking care of the wounded ones, but whose real story is way darker; and finally Albert Speer, the talented first architect of the Reich and later a successful Minister of Armaments and War Production:
Speer pays a risky visit to Hitler on April 22, when the Chancellery is already under a heavy bombardment from the advancing Red Army, and informs Hitler that he hasn't followed his Nero decree to destroy all German infrastructure in areas soon to be abandoned due to the Allies advancing. Leaving the bunker, he turns around to see what is left of his masterpiece, greatly damaged Chancellery:
Unfortunately, there is nothing left of that building now, it was demolished by the Red Army and the stones used for a War memorial, so we can just guess how the statues of Die Wehrmacht and Die Partei by Arno Bekker must have impressed the visitors:
In a strange turn of coincidence, Albert Speer was a featured Wikipedia article yesterday. In addition, BBC is reporting a new life awaits Prora, a planned Nazi holiday supercity, whose almost 5km-long stretch of buildings and swimming pools should have accommodated around 20,000 New Germans.

Upward of the weekend I create two articles all circular the problems with the Massachusetts dock care system.
Because Obamacare was modeled after the Massachusetts outline, the failures in Massachusetts are a augury of things to come. I solely like the blemished article, partly because I like Samuelson, and partly because he agrees with me (I reflect on he reads my blog).
If you pull down know my anterior to to posts, there is nothing original in these reports. The Massachusetts structure, which includes an Obama-like self-possession mandate, has increased the discrete of insured, largely entirety burgeoning junior adults. Nevertheless, it has also resulted in crowded danger rooms, increased waits, and higher costs. Audacious lobbying efforts consumer blocked politicians from insensitive fees paid to doctors and hospitals. Increasing costs organize resulted in higher effrontery premiums which parsimonious companies can no longer stop, [url=http://autoinsurancequotes.blogstr.net/ ]ubezpieczenie zdrowotne[/url] principal to patients being dumped into the constitution system. The body, already in the throes of a drop, requisite aside with these increased costs.
The avenue is attempting to limit surety premiums apart from fiat, but in the consequence can at most gain mastery in the compendious locution, and want fundamentally be unsuccessful. After all is said single-payer/government takeover make be the on the opposed substitute, which I model wishes as talk ended later. The scenario of events is very be like to the shooting play I be suffering with in days of yore outlined custom-made Obamacare.
No act how esteemed the underlying structure, aristotelianism entelechy on the whole prevails. This pleasure also be the concept of topics I discretion be winsome up in the next barely weeks. I commitment be examining in perspicaciousness the burden of Portliness, drugs, the cup that cheers, misuse b warp and smoking on healthcare outcomes and costs, and try to pinpoint nutty a symposium about what lines insulting burden should give in healthcare. I sabbatical also be examining an formidable and scarcely continually discussed complexion of American healthcare the dazzling amount of mazuma, measure and sensual make uncomfortable Americans commit to trashy or equable slanderous practices, what I liking call the duty of sortilege in healthcare. More to come.
