  • Anectdotical, my comp, 1000+ employees is saving 5% p.a. in germany (reducing personnel) and creating a new HQ in poland.

    I think political insecurity is a driving factor. Politicians left and right are making more extreme claims every week and there is no middle anymore.

    Also german law/guidelines and enforcements. The GDPR authority eyes german companies very closely. Its easy to hold you accountable if your assets are in the same country, same city as the authority office even. Harder to do if they are in another country. Poland is known to ignore eu law even. i feel like my comp is eyed more closely than meta and google just because of this. This is the same with Antitrust laws, consumer protection and their whole cease-and-desist industry. I get these are good laws but i feel like they are only applied to german companies. Noone cares about Amazon, Temu… but as a german comp you have the ever tangling sword of damocles above your head.



  • You’ll always have the risk of the mother changing mind and keep the kid i think. Children need their mother. Trying to force that life on a child because that’s your lifestyle is not selfish, it’s psycho.

    The whole game around finding someone you actually like has a reason. The resulting child will have traits of both parents. Of course some of our character is due to experience but you underestimate how much of it is imprinted.




  • How is play dumb the wildcard? If they had anything on OP they had him already fired. German chancellor used the prase “i dont remember” in court to get away scoff free from the biggest tax fraud case in german history. If they have anything on you, they’ll use it anyway. Saying anything besides “i dont remember taking food” is self incrimination. OP should be prepared to know the process of discarding food at the end of the shift though.




  • There’s no party regarding the needs of the middle. Lefty parties cherish asylum seekers or people on wellfare, party because they think it will give them votes. Centrist parties cherish companies, employers. Rightwing parties are (claiming to) mind the middle. Its hard to explain families the parental leave gets cut over and over again but the country has open arms for foreigners. Its hard to explain why a family where both work has trouble to find a big enough flat and they barely see their children over the day while those who dont work get a flat for free with all the time they want. AfDs solution was back to traditional values, which isnt good but better than whatever bullshit we have now. There is another party BSW which wants bigger social security but they didnt make the 5% barrier. So basically people flock to whomever promises to help and didnt fuck them over (yet). The “firewall” against AfD doesnt help as they never had to make difficult descisions but can always yell “we would have made it better”. I can understand theit voters.


  • really depends how serious/deep you want to research. start with wikipedia. i catch myself asking the AI for a basic understanding and further sources. if you really want to dig deep try to find universities with public curicullum. They just list the reviewed literature they build their courses on. At last, for scientific research there are peer reviewed papers but i felt like many of them are mixed quality and just a means for graduation of doctorands. So books should accumulate the good ones and their findings in a coherent way after all.
