“One extra hour of work per week would bring us enormous economic growth and is really not too much to ask,” Söder

Additionally, he called for the abolition of sick notes by telephone, already demanded by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and a gradual restriction in the ability to retire at 63

          That’s what pretty much all politicians in power in Germany have been doing for 3-4 decades by now. They let infrastructure (not only the physical infrastructure, also social achievements) built by their predecessors ages ago rot, if they’re not actively destroying it, all while pretending to make things better.

          It’s wholesale theft and wanton destruction of public property.

            Pretty much yeah. I am not disagreeing with you. I am from bavaria so my news are all full about exclusively Söder, not others but from what i know the Minister President of NRW, Schleswig Hollstein and Baden-Wüttemberg dont do that.

            Schleswig-Hollsteins Minister President couldnt be more opposite to Söder.

            Baby Boomers and Gen X ruining everything…

              It’s not an “generation” issue. It’s a political caste issue. Politicians are living in a different world. They can pretty much steal and take bribes with impunity, have influence over the public media, while corporate media will support them as long as they do their owners’ bidding, which also tends to be quite lucrative.

              Of course, there are different degrees of destructive and corrupt, but at this level of politics, you won’t find a single person with integrity.
