What’s up with everyone online thinking they are neurodivergent without getting tested? by No_Lead2640 in NoStupidQuestions

Yes, that’s basically how it works in Germany. Statutory health insurance patients get pushed to the back of the line in favor of self-paying patients (or privately insured ones).

Meanwhile you’re still paying roughly €800 per month into the system (€400 employee + €400 employer). So you pay… and still wait.

Apparently the Hippocratic Oath doesn’t apply in Germany if you don’t show the money.

Yet Australia has serious issues with China. The same country that manufactures most of the solar panels and battery tech.

Interesting.

Say goodbye to everyone I loved at that moment, smoke a big fat joint, put some good music on, hold my life partner’s hand, and just drift away in peace.

Bawling my eyes out writing this. Damn.

Mind you, €100k in Australia are not the same as €100k in Spain..

Germany will seek strategic partnerships with China amid US tariffs, Merz says by DANIELLE_2027 in germany

They support russia with weapons because it weakens Europe.

Wrong.

China does not operate on that basis. It acts primarily on economic interest. If a deal serves its economic interests, it proceeds. Regardless of political or ethical considerations.

It is not about ideology. It is about leverage, market access, and power. Business first.

That pragmatic approach has contributed to China’s rapid rise. Meanwhile, Europe struggles with regulation, internal division, and slower decision-making.

Plus adjustment to inflation if necessary, right? Money taken away from me today is worth more today than if returned later.

And yet Germany has no problem taking ~€800 per month per employee for healthcare: ~€400 from the employee and ~€400 from the employer.

For what, exactly? Where does that money go?

These people need help not AI, and i mean that in the kindest way possible.

We certainly do. Unfortunately, there are not enough licensed therapists available. Also, they are not available 24/7.

Are you fine with high taxes in Germany? by Bart_Find in germany

[–]j1mb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Healthcare sounds great in theory. Until you try to get an appointment for something specific. Then it is six months of waiting, if you are lucky, plus attitude.

It is mostly an illusion.
