I remember the German parliament (the "Bundestag") throwing a huge party after they legalized same sex marriage. While everyone but about 16 guys were partying, those 16 guys voted for a massive increase of the snooping rights of the federal inteligence agency. What a fucking shitshow. 16 out of 709 people voted for a massive privacy invasion.
Since the health service and care service for elderly people has massive issues with finding workers etc., they got the hint that they have to do something. What did they do? Increase minimum wage for healthcare workers? Haha nope, the minister of defence started debating about reintroducing mandatory military service. That way people would have to work in the health sector if they didn't want to serve the military. Imagine throwing entire generations under the bus and forcing them to serve or work for 400€ a month, wiping the asses of eldery people. Every fucking boomer ofc. clapped and spewed bullshit on how great and formative the military service was.
Ah the old, "I did military service and it made a man of me cliché" - that argument gets trotted out here a lot as a way to put the bad people on the wrong track, personally I don't think it's a great idea to be giving psychotic people with little regard for society access to training on how to kill. But it's an endless cacaphony of the old boys brigade saying it'll do them good.
We have the exact same problem with care workers. The ironic thing is, it's the knuckle dragging racists that bleat on about the problems, and it's them that voted for Brexit meaning the ones that were coming over to help, can't. British people don't want to work hard for £8 an hour, but they're also hateful towards people willing to come over and do so - banging on about them stealing their jobs, jobs they're not willing to do.
This Cv19 thing might be a blessing in disguise. It should remove at least some morons, and the ones left behind might realise that life's too short to be such a twat.
I doubt it though, give it a month or two after it's all over, people will be back out stabbing each other in the back and hating others for some trivial reason. Makes me glad I'll be out of it soon enough. I hate people as a whole, some are amazing but they're massively outnumbered by vermin.
