My first though was sunken cost phallacy, but then again maybe it’s in the nature of authority-obiding jobs to attract people who, well, would love to live in an authoritarian regime. Life is simple and structured this way.

Don’t really like it though as it is a bs expression used by employers to discredit workers that do exactly what they were employed for and don’t gift the employer their free time. You know, just like most employers don’t do anything but to pay you the bare minimum that they can get away with all while expecting you to hand out gifts to them.

Quiting

ba dumm tss.

You’re completely leaving out why they are doing this and that the €XU are the ones trying to fish votes from far right by doing exactly the same thing: Taking the far right talking points as their own and making a policy trying to “fix” those issues. So then SPD is trying to fish votes from right next to them and become more rightwing themselves. Etc. In the end there is no real left wing party anymore, just dumb Putin worshippers and guess who wins? Still the far right, and everybody is like: How could this have been prevented? My point being: All the established parties play the same game not realizing that if you play by the far rights rules you cannot win at all. It’s not at all unique to the current government.

They’re on the same ground actually, not a hill or anything. I just took the pic on the very top of the ride.

Thank you very much

Thank you very much. I actually took two really beautiful pics that morning. Hope you enjoy a swan spreading its wings in the morning mist:

This is exactly why I’m doing most of my posts bilingual: It’s a fun way to learn such things. I also tend to translate location names, such as Oaktown for Eichstätt.

Here is the full album that I created this way if you’re interested: Today I went on a walk with my dad in my hometown https://imgur.com/gallery/z1ddA72

Germany has taken some serious “renaturation” steps to fix the grave errors done since the 1940s to 1980s where they straightened rivers and dried up a lot of land. E.g. at all of Altmühl’s weirs they dug a little creek around it to enable fish to migrate or sometimes even bigger projects like this one:

In bavaria they made exactly this. You have a “Vorzugsgebiet” (loosely translated area of favourited power accumulation) for either wind or solar. Some people then had the outrageous idea of setting up a wind turbine in the middle of a solar park. Guess what happened? It wasn’t approved because it was only allowed to build a solar park there. You can’t make this stuff up. That’s German bureaucracy for you.

Finally an article mentioning that CDU members were also present and supporting the plans of the AfD. They are the enablers and cause for the “Rechtsruck” with their policies and rhetoric, trying to fish for far right votes for years.

I totally agree. I’m just saying there’s a huge cost factor to take into account, plus it’s not easy to transform an industry so huge.

You honestly think anybody would be working those hours if they don’t even own anything? Also, if the state did what they do, employ a whole lot of foreign people and pay them way below the minimum wage, the outcry would be extreme. The state needs this to be private, otherwise it would be way more expensive.
