The Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building has presented figures showing some 531,600 people are without a permanent shelter in Europe's largest economy.
it’s not half as bad as that. specialist wait times are usually less than 2 weeks. edge cases are rare and you also have those in other countries like the US, for example.
it’s normal the pension system has to be adjusted from time to time. it has been done before and there is lots of time to do it again when necessary.
Germans can also have private pensions on top. in other countries it’s completely private or even from the employer, which is a lot more unstable.
higher politician pension is important to help avoid corruption.
there is no downfall. the only thing that could happen is doomers like you making people vote AfD by driving them with fears to right wing populists and turning the country fascist again.
I don’t, however. For oculists & urologists I wait ~6 months, for dentists ~4 months, for otolaryngologists I wait (with lots of trying as I require them monthly) ~2 months and for the psychiatrist (with the ability to diagnose autism) I am still waiting since nearly 2 years now.

2030. One single term. This year the governments supplements the pension system with 121 Billion euro, from tax money which could also be used for other much needed renovations. And each year it is a bigger part of the pot, as more people take from the pension system than people who pay into it. 2020 it was 100 payers, 57 takers. 2030 it will be 67 takers. 2050 it will be 77 takers. This system is everything but stable.

That is coming from a very privileged position. Not everyone is able to do so.

Agreed, but saying “it worse elsewhere” is not an argument. Its better elsewhere too and that is what we should aim for. I am absolutely for a pension system, but one which works long term and for everybody.

Yeah, thats what the politicians say and a lot of them are still corrupt as fuck. You know, there is only 1 political party which does not accept donations/bribes but solely depends on the memberships, and that is “Die Linke”. Members Of the Bundestag also donate the bigger part of their salaries to good causes. They only retain the average German salary.

I am for positive change, benefiting the many. And that sure as hell ain’t the AfD. Now let me take a potshot as well: based on your post you love the “Weiter so” mentality of CDU/SPD and maybe it is your inability to embrace change that makes this world a worse place and drives people towards the Afd.

No they are not. The average wait time is currently 30 days. So if you are living somewhere where a lot of specialists are available: good for you. You are the other extreme.
