Column: Intra Logistics
Hi Digi-Doro,
Dear Minister of State for Digitalization Dorothee Bär: Our country needs thinkers like you! You stand for the reliability of changelessness, you don't shake anything that has stood since 1810.
You are saving the pneumatic tube system, an intralogistics product from the very beginning, from extinction in the Chancellery. Your argument is valid for a digital minister: the transportation of documents would otherwise have to be carried out by couriers. Not that someone will invent the scanner and the possibility of sending documents electronically! Or what else do you donate in the Chancellery? Microfilms, typewriter tapes and Tipp-Ex? As an ex-coordinator for freight transport and logistics, you have a great past in our industry, for which you were tailor-made as a thoroughbred political scientist and party careerist, because your cousin or another second-degree relative, you once said in all seriousness into a microphone at an event, was a truck driver.
I'm now wondering what qualifies you to be Minister of State for Digitalization. The fact that you always have your smartphone to hand and hang out on Insta, as you once confided to the PR Report? Hmm. That doesn't distinguish you from a 14-year-old voice kid junkie (m/f/d). Neither is your education. Nor is your job before politics, because you didn't have one. Maybe it's your work as a member of the advisory board of Rhön-Klinikum AG or as a member of the administrative advisory board of FC Bayern Munich? After all, together with Höhle des Löwen judge Frank Thelen, you chair the German government's Innovation Council, which has met twice a year since spring 2018. That brings up the next question. What else do you do? Well, you still appear in front of the cameras in pink PVC outfits next to Andi B. Scheuer at the Computer Game Award ceremony and wave your laser gun like an overtired BAG official waves his trowel when he waves out the 86th truck with worn summer tires on 23 December.
Dear Daniela Katzenberger of German politics, do something about digitalization. Start by making sure that people can make uninterrupted mobile phone calls on the A7 between Kassel and Hanover - and in all the other thousands of dead spots in Germany. Make sure that we get high-speed Internet here across the board - mobile and stationary, so that we can at least catch up with the Moluccas in terms of infrastructure. Once you've done that, I'll also tell you what 5G is - and how to find the Moluccas.
Promises you your
