One of the reasons is probably the same why Tesla isn't releasing their Cybertruck outside of the us - the Crash-Tests there just don't factor in pedestrian survival rates if they are hit by the car that you want to release on the market. Most of those giant trucks don't make it here because they'd just run over any pedestrian they hit without them having any chance of survival even at low speeds.
Add to that the totally car-centered infrastructure that basically punishes everyone not in a car and you have the perfect storm for dead pedestrians and bikers...
Do Bosch tools not exist outside of Germany? Here the professional (blue) line is pretty much on par with hilti and Makita in terms of quality if not better depending on the type of tool
Of course they would - they need to find an alternative to oil as a sole basis of what's keeping the country wealthy.
Although I'd say that producing and exporting hydrogen would already be a great alternative that would be basically interchangeable with selling oil and Saudi Arabia has a lot of very sunny land available to produce the energy required
Yeah - everyone is shitting on the top 1% here in Germany until they realize that half the population here makes it into that percentile and suddenly it's the 0,1% that's the problem.
It's all about putting the blame on someone else so you don't have to question if you might be a little bit responsible, too, with your lifestyle...
I'd guess a police officer is seeing more than 50 random people a day though which makes it a daily occurrence to be in contact with people carrying which actually strengthens my point
why else would this be one of the only countries where officers are lethally armed around the clock
Because it's also the only country where many citizens are lethally armed around the clock I'd guess
If you stop a random person in traffic in Europe for routine control then it's extremely unlikely that they have a gun in their car and even less likely that they will pull it on you.
If you are permanently having to think about scenarios where random people pull a gun on you because it's not a very unlikely situation to happen then it's not unreasonable to expect certain paranoia to start to form...
While the stats for "people killed by police" are always shown around I'd guess that the "police killed by citizens" also is much higher in the US.
Gun control is the only solution that even has a chance to remove this spiralling violence of trigger happy cops imho
