“One extra hour of work per week would bring us enormous economic growth and is really not too much to ask,” Söder
Additionally, he called for the abolition of sick notes by telephone, already demanded by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and a gradual restriction in the ability to retire at 63
How many hours does Markus really work in a given week? I’m wagering “few-to-none.”
He’s a quite prolific food blogger, though, don’t know if that counts
He doesn’t work at all. He has others work for him and then pats himself on the shoulder for being such a hard worker.
Or rides of the success of his predicessors, who even denounce him, and claims their work as his.
That’s what pretty much all politicians in power in Germany have been doing for 3-4 decades by now. They let infrastructure (not only the physical infrastructure, also social achievements) built by their predecessors ages ago rot, if they’re not actively destroying it, all while pretending to make things better.
It’s wholesale theft and wanton destruction of public property.
Pretty much yeah. I am not disagreeing with you. I am from bavaria so my news are all full about exclusively Söder, not others but from what i know the Minister President of NRW, Schleswig Hollstein and Baden-Wüttemberg dont do that.
Schleswig-Hollsteins Minister President couldnt be more opposite to Söder.
Baby Boomers and Gen X ruining everything…
It’s not an “generation” issue. It’s a political caste issue. Politicians are living in a different world. They can pretty much steal and take bribes with impunity, have influence over the public media, while corporate media will support them as long as they do their owners’ bidding, which also tends to be quite lucrative.
Of course, there are different degrees of destructive and corrupt, but at this level of politics, you won’t find a single person with integrity.
German Parliament: Gregor Gysi, Stefan Seidler, Claudia Roth, Jan van Aken, Robert Habeck (no longer in politics), Violetta Bock, Koçak Ferat
EU Parliament: Nico Semsrott (former MEP), Damian Boeselager, Nela Riehl.
I could also name some local politicians but i think my point is proven.
I see it as a generational problem coming from the overall mindset of Gen Boomer and Gen X stemming from the world they grew up in and how they got brought up. A vast majority of people from all walks of like, from those generations share the attitude seen in the current leading politicians.
Of course there many not like their generational peers
