Replace that with "state" and you know what I mean.

Unfortunately, Showerthoughts has a character limit. But in essence, the billionaires that own the major social media outlets are only reinforcing the kind of terrible game that best suits their profit-hungry agenda. I mean, it's not like they would produce any content themselves – that would be the logic of legacy media and far too expensive, therefore not profitable enough in the age of social media.

How about arresting the actual criminals for a change?

Well, he's not an intelligent person, so...

I wish you all the best!

It depends on where you live. In all major German cities, multiculturalism is the name of the game, which very much adds to the charm imo. But it's true, unfortunately that's not the case everywhere.

And yes, that's also absolutely right: there are a lot of open jobs in Germany that can only be filled by foreign workers. Also true: there is no discrimination or even persecution of any groups by the state, as is the case in the States these days. Of course, not everything is perfect in Germany - far from it, but at least our constitution applies - and it's a good one.

Unfortunately, I can't say anything about Iceland. But in Germany, where I come from, skilled workers are urgently needed. It's a whole spectrum of jobs: from hospitality to elderly care to engineering to physicians to pretty much all IT jobs (and many more).

There really is a shortage of workers in a wide variety of areas, which makes it all the more incomprehensible to me that we also have a MAGA-like party, the AfD, which constantly rails against foreigners. However, they are despised by everyone in even halfway larger cities and don't play a role there. Significantly, this party is particularly popular in eastern Germany, especially in rural areas where there are hardly any foreigners. It's really absurd, but I'm afraid morons like these can be found in all rural areas around the wold.

Of course, I don't want to make any false promises and unfortunately I have to say that there are a lot of intolerant assholes in Germany too (the AfD, a darn Nazi-Party was at 20% in the last election and I'm afraid that they will get even more in the next one). But there are also a lot of nice, open-minded people and, as I said, a lot of open jobs. Maybe you'll find something with us.

I would be delighted. That much is certain, even if it's not worth much.

I hope everything works out and keep my fingers crossed for you!

Great! I wish you all the best!

Sounds like a good time to leave the country while you still can.

Disclaimer: I'm from Europe, where we could really use a few more sensible people.

That sounds great! I wish you all the best and much success!

Yes, I also think that Trump and his MAGA people are doing long-lasting damage. But that's also true: they and all the idiots who voted for them had it coming. I still feel sorry for the decent US citizens.

As a German, I'm most afraid that the AfD, a terrible party very similar to the MAGA-GOP, might come to power in our country at some point. Fortunately, this is somewhat unlikely, but if it happens, it will probably be the same for us.

In this matter, Europe can not only regain credibility with regard to our value system by granting refuge to politically persecuted US citizens. It is also a real chance for Europe, because I assume that many Americans who want to leave the country are rational people who can create a counterweight to the stupor that is unfortunately spreading like a disease here too.

Just yesterday I spoke to a physicist from the US who has been working at the university in my home town for four years. Unfortunately, his employment contract is temporary and will soon expire. He still doesn't want to return to the States because he simply doesn't see a future there. He will stay in Europe instead, which is a real gain for us.

Has the manufacturer even calculated how much energy is needed for production and how long it will take for the corresponding CO2 emissions to be amortized?

We are living in strange times...

What now? Can't she think of any more random bogeymen from the other camp that she can blame for whatever with some fantasy stories?

What a spineless coward this wretched pos is.

I hope all these disgusting brutes get what they deserve in the end.

Anyone who supports or even tries to justify all this blatant injustice is an utter monster. Disgusting and barbaric!

Don't buy any US products!

I for one will no longer support this morally rotten country - I don't care what it costs.

Yes, the leader of the AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag, Alice Weidel, doesn't even live in Germany, but in Switzerland.

However, the AfD pursues a largely neoliberal economic policy and will therefore not do anything for the socially disadvantaged or for East Germany. But this fact is effectively disguised by the constant slogans "Foreigners are taking jobs away from Germans" and similar nonsense.

In this respect too, the AfD is quite similar to the MAGA people and, strangely enough, both are especially popular with the socially disadvantaged who vote against their own interests.

It's really unbelievable how stupid people are. I mean, if the inhuman ideology of these damn Nazis isn't enough to put you off, then at least one look at the States should be enough to make you realize how incompetent and corrupt they are.

And suddenly he is feeling it again...
