    Germans would say “Tja”, shrug and then drive with their unnecessarily big car to the bakery which is around the corner to buy some Mettwurstbrötchen. Sitting then with their friends at a Stammtisch over a beer and talk angrily about how people need to change something before they fall into bed and forget about it.

      Sound more like the U.S. than Germany - Germany has the €49/month public transport ticket, relatively good public transport offerings and a green party that has the best election results of the western industrial countries. Of course shutting down nuclear power plants didn’t do them any favours regarding pollution.

      No way man. All those Germans have moved to Atlantic Canada and drive pickup trucks they don’t use for anything but show and build multi million dollar homes where their neighbors are starving and living hand to mouth. Then talk about how immigrants are ruining Germany without seeing they are doing the same here.
