as someone who lives in germany, shits going south very very soon it feels like. I cant use heating rn cause my landlord shut it off, even if i could I wouldnt because you would lose your money fast, theres a fear of a blackout in some areas, rent and house prizes are continuesly rising, well everything really thanks to inflation (not wages tho who wouldve guessed). And the best part?
SOCIAL DEMOCRATS AND THE GREEN PARTY ARE IN POWER RN.
This country is fucked beyond repair, was always a matter of sooner or later after the ddr fell, but i really cant tell which direction its heading.
It’s illegal to turn off the heat between 1 October and 30 April - the apartment has to be able to be heated to 20° at minimum. Outside of this period the heating has to be turned on if an external temperature of 17°C isn’t reached for three consecutive days. In my area of the country at least that means that landlords had to turn on the heat last weekend.
Of course being in a position to afford using the heat is another thing, although a lot of people are still on older price contracts for gas and electric so it’s not as bad as it’ll get just yet. The Gasumlage isn’t helping either (tldr it’s an extra fee on top of the gas price to help all the poor gas companies make ends meet).
The Ampel Koalition has been absolutely disastrous for this country, but what did we expect?
Didn’t know it was illegal, but it’s not October yet and the weather here (nrw) is still warmish, so we will see if they follow the law. Thankfully they are not scumbags and we never had any problems with them, so I think they will turn it on when it gets colder. But like I said, I’m preparing for a cold winter :/
I’m sorry to hear that comrade, I hope things get better for you. Scary times for…well really all life on earth.
I’ve felt that way about the USA for a while, but somehow the USA still hasn’t quite plunged into total chaos. Probably mainly due to the fact that they have plundered so much from the rest of the world.
Thank you, wish you all well too.
I think USA is keeping themselves relatively stable by throwing their puppets under the bus. Everyone knew sanctions would be too much for the EU to handle, but they did it anyway, all for big daddy USA.
Things will change the moment they overstep the boundaries with China tho, when that happens i hope all the US comrades can stay safe.

USA has really never suffered consequences for their actions. It’s gonna be brutal when the chickens come home to roost.
Problem is, they just might make us all pay for their actions.
