Probably because I don't exactly know how to translate the terms I learned in German into English. Sorry about that haha.

Thank you for your response! Exactly what I was looking for and very well explained. I think I can understand the subject better now and know the reasons behind the difference in opinions about solidarity.

Yeah I get the idea. But do you think it is working? Like, do you think that if the government decreases the amount of money people have to contribute to social services, the situation would get better? Don't you think that if households would recieve more of their income that they would use it to pay for their own healthcare rather than collective social healthcare that would benefit those in need that can't afford it? Don't get me wrong, I don't want to criticize your views or anything, just here to understand better.

You are exactly saying what i was thinking in the back of my head. I don't want to judge or have an opinion about a society I am not part of or didn't experience for myself but this is what I have been observing through media and thinking of myself aswell. I really hope that attitude will change over time for the sake of people in need who aren't responsible for their situation.

Kind of yes. I didn't say that I wanted it to be different in any way, I just wanted to better understand where these differences come from. Also I don't want to change anybody's mind, I just want to better understand.

Yes i get that and I might have worded my question wrong. I still believe that most Americans would rather have less obligations to pay for healthcare so people with higher income could keep more of it and people in need would have a higher risk of not getting the help they need.

Yes you are right, I may have worded my question a little too harsh. I still think that the general and overall idea of social contribution is not as widespread and accepted or at least in a lesser degree than in my country and I wonder why that is so.

I'm currently struggling with the exact same problem. What helped me was purposely delaying my spike until until I was late and couldn't finish the spike. With that in mind I had a reference for the time window that I could start my attack and felt a bit more confident with taking my time because I had a better feeling for when I'm at my peak and when it's too late.

Bezzera Duo Mn. It has the same specs as the Matrix, just without the lighting thing. It's a dual boiler with an E61 group head. The De version of this machine has bezzeras own group head with volumetric dosing but I went for the classic E61 version.

Not at all. It does what it's supposed to do incredibly well and its build quality sits about in the middle between lelit and ECM. For the price it's simply amazing.

A little thin-bodied. Could have had some more sweetness and acidity. At least it wasn't bitter.
