You think that your smart but, you have no idea how stupid you sound.

Germany's healthcare system doesn't have a long term problem with funding. From DW:

>Germany's understaffed and over-bureaucratic hospital system, where doctors and patients have for many years complained of too many financial incentives to "over-treat" patients, has resulted in long hospital stays, unnecessary operations and unnecessary antibiotic treatments, among other things.

Aside from hiring more staff, cutting down on bureaucracy and unnecessary treatment would save money. This is of course leaving aside that €5 billion per year on Ukraine is a drop in Germany's federal budget and directly increases Germany's security.

I remember seeing Berlin in 2016 and and ever other street was refugees. Mostly men. Ive been in some of the worst ghettos of the USA and A lot of those streets in Berlin felt unsafe

Didnt they already do this with all the “refugees” a few years back??

Russia refused to come to their aid while Azerbaijan reverse cowgirled them despite being in an alliance with Russia that is similar to NATO. Russia has proven to be unreliable, so fuck them/putin.

I don't want me or the map to change your mind dude, it's just that they don't have much choice left do they? Unless you don't know how economy works, trading with a neighbor is much cheaper and reliable than trading soybeans by plane for example. And don't forget that China is still US biggest trading partner as we speak. We will probably be less reliant on China but won't happen overnight.

Wall hacks and aimbots perhaps?

Hmm, I wonder how it came to be unsafe now, and who could make it safe if they wished?

At what point does Russia run out of stuff that Iran actually wants?

... yes? idk if you're implying it's a silly thought, or saying Kazakhstan's screwed. but either way, checking the map doesn't change my mind much about that factor.

Regardless of what you think about the proposed immigration law, didn't the UK depart the EU and the EU court system?

Most germans cannot go private. It is literally beyond their income. The required level of income is 60k or something. That is quite high and above the median income of germany iirc

It hasnt fallen apart like Australia has, where the housing crisis there is like Bermannkiez, but across the entire continent.

Instead of fixing the problem, the fed gov wastes 368 bil on nuke subs. You could spend a 1/10 of that to just restore australian wildlife levels in the north, where most of Australia's terrifying wildlife exist, in order to have protect the borders from China.

It is insanely anti intellectual there, getting a phd torpedoes chances of getting a job outside of academia, which is a giant wankfest.

Berlin is incredibly safe. I feel safe moving around here. Living in Geelong or Traralgon is not really living at all with crime rates/capita there 4+x that of Berlin. I got treatment for a life long condition that threatened my career (ADHD) and fucked all of my relationships. I wouldve sunk easily 10k+ AUD into the psych appointments, if i could get them. In Germany, its absorbed by my insurance.

You have it really good here. Its worth paying taxes here.

I appreciate your perspective on the situation, I think it touches on a factor that we often forget when discussing China: they are still a developing country. You're certainly right that there are millions of Chinese people living in poor conditions similar to other Asian, African, and Latin American countries.

One thing that differentiates China in my mind is that rate of development and poverty alleviation. A low tier chinese city that barely had an economy 10 years ago could be a booming technologic hub today. It seems to me that their government is giving a productive and legitimate effort to raise the quality of life for Chinese people.

China is no utopia to be sure, there are many real problems with the country, but it rubs me the wrong way the way it is presented in the media. I feel that there is a huge amount of hypocrisy, false information, and double standards applied when reporting on China, which makes me question the agenda of those doing the reporting.

If you'd just take a look on the map...

Again, MENA problem only. Geographic balancing and recruiting deeper in Asia and Africa (as well as the Americas) would help unless those regions really are a desert of culturally compatible talent.

>Maybe Germany needs to look at why its population is shrinking.

In case you truly don't know, birth rates have trended downwards in virtually every country over the past 70 years.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/crude-birth-rate

Generally birth rates go down as the standard of living and education improves (though this does not necessarily mean birth rates will rise again, if livings standards get worse).

Putin is out there still pretending that Russia is a world power. Very sad.

Wtf

I was on a blue card (2.5 years) and got my PR after 3 months waiting.
