I wouldn't complain too much about that

because we dont get money for programs that benefit the citizens

uhh well..

our infracstrucutre is going down the shitter

thats just one thing tbh

just as much as my grammar is

I don't think German infrastructure is that bad tbh

look Italy <:haha:318675605233336330>

its not only physical infrastructure

I am talking digital

tbh

all of Europe is 1000000000 years behind in IT

that's true

but it's not only German problem

it's a thing bigger than Germany and I don't think you're the ones to blame

surely not Merkel

*well actually you're the ones to be blamed for it kek*

under merkel all germany is is a maintenance apparatus

"weiter so"

this IT thing was really inevitable after WW2, massive brain drain to the US and no single European country can match their resources really

you know, there was an open letter recently, by scientists

to fund some European AI research centre

because all our brightest brains are just drained to the US

hmm wonder why

and no single country can do anything about that

you'd need EU wide cooperation

or Europe wide actually

like with CERN

but we wont get that

for all the reasons you stated

I don't blame Germany for that, it's too big for you to deal with 🤷

cdugonna keep sitting

riding it out

that's why I want more EU in some fields, otherwise we are literally fucked in the ass by the US and soon by China

we'll be fine but we'll never be on the top again

this is exactly what makes me angry

I dont want to be just fine

but rn Germany is a place "you can live good and well" in

no need for change

for me all those nationalists with their gibberish about muh "sovereignty" and muh "taking back control" just want their countries to do fine, because well no one will invade the UK, it won't ever become poor, it'll be just fine, but all the brightest British minds will be drained away

they don't realise what's needed for their countries to be on the top or they simply lack ambition idk
