For the next couple of days, I'm going on harp on 'problems' and 'solutions'.....which you see a lot of examples of this.....on the German news networks, and it's to the level that it feels like 5th grade kids trying to resolve a national crisis.
A good quote here, by Martin Luther King:
"All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem."Around twenty years ago in Germany....the Bundestag decided that welfare was crapped-out and going to become a national budget crisis.....so they invented 'Hartz IV'.....which was a reformed welfare program....which was going to fix everything.
In various ways, it simply led to the next problem.....that welfare was a 'doom-and-gloom' mess and probably 20-percent of the German public was going to deal with a even bigger mess than what existed prior to 2000.
We progress now to the newest gimmick....Citizens Money (Burgergeld). Same type situation....maybe a little more cash, and ease of proof that you are doing bad-offf.
Covid? Same way. This natural gas crisis? Same issue. Electrical blackout crisis? Same way.
It's almost nightly now that you feel a problem coming up, and the resolution will merely lead onto a newer version of the problem....maybe next year....maybe in three years.
