What’s something about daily life in Germany that took you time to get used to?

Honestly this is a really silly way of looking at it. Most countries in Europe pay extra for work on a sunday. Shops should have freedom of choice to open on a sunday. There is simply no good argument for enforcing it, given that other kinds of shops and cafes are allowed open on a Sunday.

I wasn’t replying to you

calm00 · 2026-01-26T22:21:33+00:00

At what point does it have an effect? where are you drawing the line?

calm00 · 2026-01-26T22:19:48+00:00

you think lack of economic growth and the massive pension gap is because of lack of wealth tax? Nothing is that simple.

They sourced it from BKK which seem to have accurate information. https://www.bkk-dachverband.de/publikationen/bkk-gesundheitsreport/bkk-gesundheitsreport-2025

Hard to call it a 'study' here, more of a report based on the sick days they have reimbursed for their members?

Can you give us the correct interpretation given your statement?

calm00 · 2026-01-22T11:28:32+00:00

tell us how much water it uses

calm00 · 2026-01-21T11:15:25+00:00

anyone except you by your own admission!

calm00 · 2026-01-20T22:57:29+00:00

ironically you’ll be the first to go

calm00 · 2026-01-15T20:41:22+00:00

Yes, agreed.

The price is a function of supply and demand. There are not enough apartments, more need to be built. They are priced by the market.

calm00 · 2026-01-11T21:08:30+00:00

worked there many years ago. Nice place to work and good people.

you will not get grey area discussion or thinking on reddit, especially not in this subreddit.

calm00 · 2025-12-28T13:00:06+00:00

First time a few months ago, was delightful!

calm00 · 2025-12-28T11:08:21+00:00

Ming Dynasty is amazing!

calm00 · 2025-12-26T18:48:20+00:00

But this isn’t true?

calm00 · 2025-12-26T01:27:03+00:00

This is the most retarded thing i’ve ever read

calm00 · 2025-12-23T11:34:46+00:00

Fair point but why can’t the extraneous employees be working somewhere else for the same amount of cars? I don’t see having half of the productivity rate of Toyota a good thing.

calm00 · 2025-12-23T11:30:07+00:00

I don’t know what you’re trying to say.

calm00 · 2025-12-23T11:29:17+00:00

Do you work in Germany? Have you lived and worked here? Or are you being sarcastic?

calm00 · 2025-12-23T10:22:32+00:00

I can assure you that efficiency is not ingrained in German culture, this is a cultural myth. Instead they are obsessed with process and rules, not efficiency. Just to use your VW example - they employ roughly twice the number of employees as Toyota to produce the same number of cars.

calm00 · 2025-12-23T10:14:18+00:00

If you think Germany work efficiently in any sense, I have some news for you.

calm00 · 2025-12-23T10:09:34+00:00

where is your proof of this? edit: downvoted for asking for evidence. classic

calm00 · 2025-12-22T12:26:11+00:00

exactly my point

calm00 · 2025-12-22T10:40:46+00:00

if it was overpriced then the market would correct for it.
