  • OK, either I don’t understand you or you don’t understand me, because that’s what I’m also saying?

    Your example “twice as short” works.

    The original comment wasn’t about your example.

    The original comment was “several times shorter”.

    As you used twice in place of several times, I also put twice in there to make the difference to yours more obvious.

    Twice shorter isnt the same as twice as short. You talked in your first comment about something different than the other comments talked about. That is what I wanted to express.




  • Thanks for proving me wrong. Seems I’m too pessimistic currently.

    But from what I’m seeing everywhere and what our chancellor is saying this seems to be not really enough, considering the likely impact of climate change. While I understand that you can’t modernise a country as big as Germany in one year, I’m not really seeing the positive impacts of those plans as fast as I would like. But again, maybe I’m too depressed at the moment.












  • They precisely earn more on a Sunday and on Saturday because it is normally a free day.

    By eliminating the work protection on those days, they also will take away those bonuses.

    And choosing which day to work? Good way of showing that you don’t really know how minimum wage workers are treated. No, you cannot really choose which day to work in a workweek setting. You might be able to talk to your colleagues and try to arrange things in that way, but good luck telling your boss “Nah I dont like your work schedule, I only work when I want to.” And again, this is exactly about removing the special protection of the weekend and trying to make it a normal part of the work week.
