This opinion piece makes a clear argument why European countries should not follow Canada’s trade policy (the actual one, not the one his speech announced).
He doesn’t walk the talk it seems!


In solchen Hochhäusern (mit so vielen Wohneinheiten) gibt es immer vergleichsweise schlecht gelegene Wohnungen, die günstiger vermietet werden.
Es braucht mehr Wohnungen im mittleren Preissegment. Die Hochhäuser sind nicht gerade Luxus-Türme.


Es ist schon erstaunlich wie niedrig die Erwartungen sind, trotz allem. Fortschritt seit der Wende. Viele Berliner im Osten sind ohne Telefon und Toilette in der Wohnung aufgewachsen, und zwar noch zur Zeit der Wende.


Berliner kaufen auch Eigentumswohnungen. Zugezogene haben oft weniger langfristige Perspektiven und sind weniger an Eigentumswohnungen interessiert.
Außerdem kann die Stadt Anteile von Mietwohnungen festschreiben. In den 2000ern hat der rotrote Senat das nicht gemacht weil es keinen Wohnungsmangel gab. Aber die Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten bestehen und werden wieder genutzt.


Yes, the social stigma sucks. But I’m sure that former Bosch employees are very employable.


Many new firms have been mushrooming, creating some of those jobs.


It’s bad news for those employees and families in the first few months.
But actually, the employees are getting off a sinking ship (and not sinking with it). And most will end up being engineers and workers at other firms that are not sinking.


And then the greens vote with the far right in the European Parliament, against mercosur. Our firms are fucked.


Da wird man wohl noch nachhelfen müssen. Zeit für eine Wärmepumpensteuer! Atomkraft jetzt! Gegen Impfen!


I always admire people like him who are willing to bear these kinds of bieden for keeping our societies free.
I know what you mean. The requirement is that friends and family will use it, too.
How long ago was your experience with matrix?
Why is delta (using email protocol) better than element (using matrix protocol for messaging)? I’m a bit surprised


It’s a genre in France. Lazy stereotypes about Germans. I think Germans have many lazy stereotypes about Brazilians. Passing it on :)


Yes, but that is nothing that a later retirement age, a requirement for pensioners to draw on own personal wealth if it exists, and immigrant employees couldn’t alleviate.


Much to agree with here. About the lifestyle parttimers, I guess it boils down to this difference: a firm should be able to refuse their request for parttime, vs an employee should have the right to work parttime at that firm.
I think that it is wrong for employees to have this right, since it privileges them over those who might work there fulltime but are not employed there. But I think the other side also has strong arguments, especially since unemployment rates are low.


Okay, I’ll try


Okay, I guess my true colors will reveal themselves to you over time then. I understand that you want to avoid ragebaiting.
Please tell!
