September 2025 are elections. Hopefully with a government more concerned with wise economic decisions.

Germany has stumbled into multiple enormous problems at once.

Fucked up demographic change. Fucked up Refugee crisis and decided just to let everyone in because they don’t know what else to do. Fucked up nuclear energy because of mass media brain washing + hysteria. Replaced nuclear with almost 100% Russian gas. Now without Russian gas, our second most important industry, the chemical Industry, one of the most energy consuming branches of industry, can no longer compete with international prices. Furthermore climate change ideologies have pushed an agenda against the combustion engine, crippling german industry further to compete with EV against the much stronger Asians. All that while germanys carbon emissions in the global picture are insignificant. Meanwhile the current government is pushing identity politics, or rather ignoring concerning developments of irrational ideologies pushed onto kids. 

The past governments and the current one have continued further and further to dismantle the civil service. Meaning we lack an immense amount of teachers, doctors, pharmacists, policemen, soldiers - civil service in Germany means you are working exclusively for the state and loose some liberties in exchange, but gain others. It made some jobs more appealing - Better pay for teachers, fixed position of doctors - this also meant that some doctors would accept critical operations, because they knew that if they failed, they wouldn’t get fired. In a completely open marked, a doctor only touches a patient if he is 110% sure that it will work out fine. They do not take any risk because a bad statistic will make them unemployable. And they fear to be sued.

These positions were dismantled continuously over the years.

Overall Germany is currently going through a very unpleasant change towards a more American society.

Challenger Deep or, more realistically, a Scandinavian country.

However, if I ever did manage to escape the US, I'd probably rather hide in a cave than come back.

Iceland...

Again. Going for a 4th time would be glorious - want to go during the summer this time.
