“Friends aren’t the people we like best. They’re merely those who got here first.”
I don’t know who said that, but I think that’s true, too.
The liberal party in Germany is tossing the idea around that recipients of social security shouldn’t get their actual rent paid (within reasonable limits), but just a flat rate. This is supposed to allow them the decision to cough up more money of their own for a better apartment or to downsize and have more money to spare.
Given the housing prices, I think we’ll have quite a rise in homeless’ wealth, should this ever get through parliament.
That looks like the SFW version of a porn movie storyboard.
Is my view too bleak or does this really look like the first step of throwing CS:2 in the bin and going back to milking CS:1 for its remaining worth?
Same with fruit. Who cares if the apple has a brown spot if it gets eaten the same day?
Now you’re telling me about subtext in my own writing.
I think leisesprecher was right about “being too absorbed in their own circle jerks”.
My point is that you interpreted a statement as bragging that two other people didn’t. How exactly does saying so weaken my own point?
your statement indeed comes across as an attempt to brag
Not to me.
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
and
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.
