That mess is older than even the UK. The Ottoman Empire cobbled together peoples who didn’t have anything to do with each other way earlier.

Also office chairs with headrests, for whatever reason.

I don’t want to have this conversation in any way. Why do social customs force me to endure it just because the other person feels the urge to talk?

It’s not small talk for 5 minutes. It’s “hey I gotta short question. Can you help me deorglefy the gnarflepoof I may or may not have installed on my computer or maybe my phone I can’t remember and now the power outlet won’t work anymore whenever I plug in my computer even when I register for the additional services with my ISP?”

Don’t. Even. Breathe.

Low oxygen. My blood pressure is rising. OMG CAN THEY HEAR MY HEART‽

Yet again, punctuation matters.

You guys got gloves recommended? For Germans it was only masks.

I didn’t know about the distinction between the two. After a 1-minute Wikipedia read I think you’re right.

If anyone were ever to work behind him on something they’re very familiar with, they’d have to tear it all down and rebuild it because he just invents his own way as he goes

That’s not the virtue you think it is.

Under the current system, recipients of social security get their rent paid according to an allowed flat size (e.g. 60m² for two people) and the regional average rent. Now “Lindner [head of the liberal party] wants to save billions using the new approach.” “Recipients should not get their rent covered based on the actual cost, but via a flat rate.” (paraphrased from https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/lindner-buergergeld-ukrainer-100.html; German).

You can guess how well that will go with

it’s based on the average rent for the area,

and

there’s extra help for those struggling to find cheaper […] accommodation

Lindner is famous for his (paraphrased) statement “the markets will solve this”. Rents have skyrocketed just like anywhere else. Now he doesn’t want to regulate the housing market, but wants to regulate the spending on those who already can’t afford housing. It’s disgusting.
