  • 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.




  • Mainly management issues. Time constraint. See, some games, like those successfull indie games, are passion projects. Often forged by one mind.

    Big companies hire people for a project. You see an issue with gameplay? Too bad youre just the designer, no one wants to hear your opinion. You lose passion, if you had any to begin with. Then companies tend to see workers as slaves. Bend the knee or else. Id not go the extra mile for benefits barely matching the lawful minimum. The new avengers show will drop nxt year? Gotta ship a product which normally needs years of development. You cut features to meet deadlines. Sometimes this is also because management thinks only pressure makes people work at all.













  • The common opinion amongst parents is, they dont know how they’d raise children without WFH. Its not that you spend your workhours doing childcare but saving 2-3 hours a day in traffic is golden. Otherwise the kindergarden would see the child more than us. Now with bad economy we have RTO trend. Wages not keeping up with inflation, job insecurity, grandparents working themselves until they are not fit enough to help out. It makes no sense for the middle to get children. Never made sense financially but also doesnt make sense emotionally to just yeet your offspring into childcare.

    Plus the current chancellor/ruling parties cut parental support further while touting longer workdays. More children is simply NOT a goal of the german government.
