And I don’t think that’s an issue with Chinese cars specifically but more about new manufacturers in general. Germans want to be sure the brand still exists at least until they plan to sell it, so they can get service and it doesn’t lose too much value.

Poke a hole in it

Oh Meloni is very much in solidarity, with the fascist. And I don’t know what kind of teachers you had when your first thought is to compare them with Trump.

I don’t think you really mean it like this but maybe next time consider the context when doing comparisons.

Odd comparison.

There are a few of those pickup trucks around here. If they were easier to get in Germany I believe more fragile men would buy it. Even if it just sits in the driveway.

People are easily manipulated. There needs to be some guardrails.

How this man hasn’t crumbled by the all the responsibility and pressure is beyond me.

You are right, the off-budget fund (Sondervermögen) for infrastructure also needed a 2/3 vote. I was under the impression that the 500 billion credit and how it will be spend was just part of the negotiations for the dept brake reform. My bad.

Yes but the next budget can then be done by a simple 51% majority which is the regular coalition. This dept brake change needed a 2/3 vote and lays the foundation for easier budgets in the future.

Why would this only last 4 years? It’s a constitution change. It does not magically undo itself after a certain time.

End the stupid tariffs, help Ukraine and you’ll get as many eggs as you want.

Thanks for the info!

Very interesting, thank you!

It’s one of the last pieces of land where we ourselves still have some power over those old fucks. But democracy is fragile.

No there are multiple jobs in military and war needs many different skills. I’m a software developer, the military also uses software so maybe that’s a thing I could do. But if it turns out my physical presence on the front line is more important then that is what I would do. I don’t have a wife or kids, no dependencies.

I’m a millennial who was happy to not be required to go through military training back when it was still a thing but already phasing out. Bundeswehr was a thing for gun fanatics and manly men, nothing that was actually necessary. I was a pacifist. My work ethics today are now close to what Gen Z apparently has. Work is simply not the center of my life anymore.

These days I’m wondering if a 40 year old man (in better shape than my 18 year old self though) can still enlist voluntarily because I want to fight for our European values. I’d rather die in battle than being occupied by power hungry dictators. Not sure this Gen Z guy understands that his work life balance days are over if that happens.

Stiff-person-syndrome

There is a recent documentary on Prime about her in which they talk about this a lot. It’s very sad.

When I listened to an interview with Maral Koohestanian on Jung & Naiv I was done with this party. This woman was sent in as the top candidate for the recent election by German Volt and she had no clue what their own party manifesto said. She had grand visions but never any specific plans for anything, just basically saying We need to have a talk about this or that and then we will find a way somehow. It was embarrassing.

I was gonna ask how they do postal voting then but the simple answer is they don’t.
