The economy has stagnated a lot. Fewer things are being made here, and those things that are, aren't really improving all that much.
It's no surprise that the car industry is being obliterated when they think innovation is unnecessary. The government will just bail them out anyway.
My health care experiences have been brilliant at least.
My biggest concern is the usual right wing swing when the economy falters. I live rural, and it is awful here politically. There are so many wonderful people... but then the big handful that throw out hate towards Turkish people. I even experienced a Notar throw out the N word like it's nothing during official proceedings once. I hope things get better.
Always have back ups. Google (or whomever) can always ban your account on a whim for whatever reason. There are plenty of instances of people losing everything. Even high profile people.
There are a lot of posts in this thread already detailing positive cases for euthanasia.
My wife worked as a vet tech assistant and she told me once of a case where someone brought their dog in. Diagnosis was terminal, but that the dog was in good condition right now, and would likely not have any discomfort for months. They chose to euthanise immediately. I guess the owner didn't want to deal with the reminder every day? But that feels wrong to me.
Also no German really gets upset by it if you get it wrong. They know that German is complicated in that regard. They are usually just happy that you are trying.
The only person that has ever said anything at all about it, is a colleague that I asked to correct me. It helps with the learning process.
They learn the article with the word. So they never really have a problem. The biggest problem is that the article is necessary to know how other words need to be written.
Also, in English you can have one word that is written the same but can be the name of two entirely different things. We use the context of the sentence to determine which word is actually intended. Germans know through different articles, which word is intended.
I'm not your guy, buddy!
