Bismarck brought in a series of social security acts in the 1880s including the first old age pension.

| FFS The Nazis didn’t invent social security and if they had, it doesn’t mean any country with social security is a Nazi. She's right that this was created in Germany and you're right that it was not done by the fascists but by the Bismarck administration. The German pension system is the oldest con... |

| Plants - trees specifically as in wood chips - already are used as biofuel, aren't they? I've heard critique of alternative energy stats that say wood chips are added to the stat. The problem is they put more CO2 back into the environment than coal. Something like that anyway. Wood is actually envi... |
