      The MSM is the same everywhere. Their oligarch-owners goal is to distract from the fact that the orphan crushing machine is identical everywhere.

      Meanwhile, the productivity gains of the last 5 decades means that a 3 day work week should be the norm; instead, we’ll be lucky to retire at all if we live to 70.

      This is not a Germany thing. It’s an everywhere thing, because the problem is capitalism and the wealth inequality it enables.
