Why should refugees be treated any different?
And every German I’ve ever known is overqualified too. So, like, what’s the problem?
Refugees overqualified and underpaid in Germany – A new study has found that refugees in Germany have overall integrated well into the workforce. But many are overqualified for the jobs that they do.
These are tanks of peace or something.
Well, tanks for nothing.
Germany pursues a responsible policy in providing military aid to Ukraine and ensures that the war remains the one between Ukraine and Russia. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this on Thursday as he spoke with residents of Erfurt, Thuringia, Ukrinform reports.
“With all the decisions we make, we prevent escalation, the war between Russia and NATO; we make sure that the war remains the one between Russia and Ukraine. But we support Ukraine, which is defending itself,” said Scholz.
I mean, a makeup! A makeup cover-up? I don’t make this stuff up. Just look at the before and after photos.
The one on the left was taken before she ripped German taxpayers off of €55,000. The one on the right is after. She pocketed that cash, people.
Germans funded £47k in hair and makeup expenses for Angela Merkel since leaving office – Despite stepping down from her prominent role almost two years ago, Merkel continues to submit expense claims to the federal government.
As revealed in documents obtained by Tagesspiegel through a Freedom of Information Act request, the former German Chancellor keeps filing her expenses to the federal government.
Never been used.
They’re a real steel, I’m sure.
Deal struck to send German-made Leopard 1 tanks from Belgium to Ukraine – Dozens of second-hand Leopard 1 tanks that once belonged to Belgium have been bought by another European country for Ukrainian forces fighting Russia’s invasion, the arms trader who did the deal said Tuesday.
Was yesterday (or the past few years).
Now it’s much too wet, wet, wet! All it does is rain in Germany these days. But don’t worry, because you’re still allowed to worry. Ask any climate activist. In both cases “the Climate Crisis” is to blame. It’s science. I mean, pseudoscience.
Rhine river levels in Germany back to normal after rain – Heavy rain has raised water on the river Rhine in Germany to levels allowing cargo vessels to sail fully loaded, data from German inland waterways agency WSA said on Wednesday.
Data from the WSA’s website Pegelonline showed that the last shallow sectors of the river around Cologne had now reached levels generally permitting full vessel loads.
Dry weather in June meant the river became too shallow for vessels to sail fully loaded and ship operators imposed surcharges on freight rates to compensate for vessels sailing partly empty, increasing costs for cargo owners.
Is that like shrinkflation?
Because Germany is definitely suffering from that.
Is Germany’s great economy sinking into ‘slowcession’? Key data this week will offer a hint as to whether the eurozone’s powerhouse can shake off recent stagnation.
Engine of the eurozone, industrial powerhouse, export world champion – just some of the ways Germany’s economy has been described over the years.
However, recent figures have indicated that the good times have come to an end, with Europe’s largest economy stuck in recession.
The “Nazi” name-calling strategy doesn’t seem to be working anymore (see the photo – get it?), all ye established, fat and sassy German political parties and media manipulators.
You might have to finally consider giving the German electorate what it actually wants. An end to mass illegal immigration, for example, or affordable energy. To name just two.
AfD: German voters shift toward far right – The AfD continues to gain ground in opinion polls amid high dissatisfaction with the government. Support for ending the taboo on cooperating with the populists is growing.
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has received another boost in the polls: If federal elections were held this week, the populist party would win 21% of the vote, putting it firmly in second place behind the center-right bloc of Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU), which remain the strongest force at 27%, despite taking some small losses.
That is according to the latest edition of the representative “Deutschlandtrend” survey, for which pollster infratest reached out to 1,297 eligible voters via phone or email between July 31 and August 2.
As in the previous months’ surveys, Germany’s center-left government again failed to win a majority. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), the largest party in the three-way coalition, would garner 17% — down from 25.7% when it came to power in the last general election in 2021.
Fake news alert! Fake news alert!
Germany ‘speechless’ after earliest-ever Women’s World Cup exit – An opening 6-0 win over Morocco makes Germany’s earliest exit ever at the Women’s World Cup even harder to fathom for a No. 2-ranked team that won’t be advancing out of the group.
A 1-1 draw with South Korea in a dramatic end to the group stage Thursday left Germany in third place in Group H behind Colombia and Morocco. In the end, it was Morocco who inflicted the damage with an unexpected win over Colombia in a game being played at the same time but on the other side of the Australian continent.
German mainstream media (state TV) doesn’t even try to hide it.
A woman they interviewed as a random customer in a supermarket to get the “correct” response to a question about “justified” higher grocery prices was one of the channel’s own regional news presenters. This was kept secret from TV viewers, of course. TV viewers who are forced to pay a TV tax to view such high-quality, non-biased news reporting, I might add, whether they actually view it (or even own a TV) or not.
We’re from the government and we’re here to help.
Real cars. And with that, the fun for Germany has only just begun.
What if Germany stopped making cars? Imagine Volkswagen goes the way of Nokia.
“The future of the vw brand is at stake.” When Thomas Schäfer, the mass-market marque’s newish boss, gave a presentation to his management team in early July, he did not sugarcoat its problems. High costs, falling demand, growing competition—the list goes on. “The roof is on fire,” he warned, echoing one of the most noted alarm calls in recent business history—from Stephen Elop, who in 2011 compared his company to a “burning platform” shortly after taking the helm at Nokia, then the world’s largest maker of mobile phones…
