    Constant whining is basically a national sport in Germany. Yes, there are way too many poor and homeless people here too, but the ones crying the loudest are mostly middle class people who are financially secure. Its either that their neighbour has a bigger car or they blame society that no one likes them.

    You’d say it’s not a zero sum game but life satisfaction levels in Poland are through the roof because we see that they’re so low in Germany.

        What do you mean? Wages are terrible and services too but it costs as much as Belgium and France, with a fraction of the salary. People often blame high taxes but in Belgium they are much higher and the country is as big as Sicily or Sardinia

        Working in Italy is painful: you have to work for 9 hours a day since break is not counted in a workday, most companies are so small you have virtually no benefits and the family-like governance is terrible, and for a lot of companies you are expected to do overtime. If you work in restoration it’s even worse.

        Italy is good/decent only for tourists and elders, but since most of the costs for younger people are paid by their parents it seems better than it actually is.

        To add a fun fact: a friend of mine is very proud to earn 1.4k a month with lots of straordinaries and the liquidation pay (no thirtieth month)
