legal right
Once again we citizens have a legal right. This time to all-day care for elementary school students. Entitlements are always nice, especially when you're guaranteed to get them yourself. However, those responsible should also ask themselves how they want to implement all of these requirements in reality — and preferably before making such a decision.
We are already lacking skilled workers everywhere, and you can neither simply buy them from outside (e.g. Asia and Africa) nor simply generate them by law. Ultimately, the problem is that our expectations can hardly be met with reality. Therefore, there will inevitably be some kind of classification within our society:
- There will be those people whose claims will be made according to the best options and
- there will be people whose claims will only be covered on paper or by completely unqualified forces.
Completely exaggerated claims always create and cement a kind of class society, which is obviously what our parties strive for - especially those who describe themselves as social.
If we want to preserve our open, democratic society, then we must first adapt our claims to the given realities and not to any wishful thinking.
And if we continue like this, one of the upcoming Bundestags will guarantee us the legal right to eternal life.
overexploitation
We Germans are said to have a very special and intense relationship with the forest. It is astonishing that the current federal government is using its “Forest Strategy to 2050” at the last minute to further cement the overexploitation of German forests, just as it has been undermining European demands for animal welfare and consumer protection for years, or even worse, keep coal burning alive for as long as possible; We have known since the 1970s at the latest that not only is it very harmful to the environment, but coal is also far too valuable to simply burn.
It's funny how we like to do it with all our fingers. B. point to China, where people and nature are sacrificed for progress, something we have been doing ourselves for decades without any inhibitions, and really sacrifice everything for the profit of a few fellow citizens and the most comfortable life possible for most of us - also the German forest.
European regular's table
Every first Tuesday of the month, the European federalists and other interested people from Heilbronn meet to exchange ideas in a Heilbronn restaurant. And it's always a nice get-together, with the topics not only revolving around Europe and the EUROPA-UNION, but also picking up on current affairs.
So that's the European regular's table a good opportunity to get a taste of “lived Europe”.
