At least you get health care with all your taxes. Unlike here in the US.

In the case of Black Holes the face and ass are indistinguishable.

If only they did actually work. More than half of all the Syrian immigrants who came to Germany in 2015/2016 are still on welfare. "Skilled workers" my ass.

Russia used instability in E Ukraine to justify invasion. Russia caused much if that instability. Here they're arguing instability is the issue again.

Honestly, I know Americans pride themselves in being a big diverse country, but you use that excuse way too often to do nothing and you also underestimate other countries (and by extension yourselves).
Germany is not homogenous, we were a split country for several decades. The economic impact of that can still be felt and seen today. The east is significantly poorer than the west, has different cultural influences from Soviet times and generally also votes entirely different from the Western part of Germany. You can still see the Iron curtain in pretty much all German statistics. Not to mention the differences between the North and South (e.g. pretty much everyone clowns the Bavarians, they’re way more conservative and self-centered than the rest of us). It still works, because we don‘t let that stop us. You‘d do well to do the same instead of giving up instantly every single time.

People being able to live where they want should generally be a right with exceptions (criminal record, endangered native language, high levels of religious extremism). Hopefully this works and Germany is able to clean up its bureaucracy and open its housing and supply chains.

I never said they were the same thing. I highly doubt you have any reasonable argument for why anarcho syndicalism is nonsensical.

Something I never understood: if the population is shrinking, why do they import workers instead of just scaling back production to accommodate the smaller population size?
For example, suppose you had a population of 100 people, and 25 of them would make 100 ice cream cones a day for everyone to have. Then if for some reason the population dropped to 80, why not just have 20 workers make 80 ice cream cones per day? Why is it necessary to import 20 workers to keep the population at 100?

Company I work for just approved hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses for execs. The president couldn't tell you anything specific about the product for a view other than big picture stuff. I'm so happy to be over worked and unable to afford kids or a house or even to move if I wanted/needed to. Have a masters degree and work in IT. Great to see that the people who do the least at the company can afford to put down payments on three more houses just for fun this week.

The rest of the entire galaxy is also (mostly) utterly insignificant because of how far away it is that it doesn’t matter. In our little corner of our solar system we are pretty damn significant. Just because we aren’t a tier 5 turbochad galaxy eater civilisation doesn’t mean we don’t matter.
