    They could have had fiber optic internet already back in the 80ies (not at the speeds we have today of course, but still) but Kohl’s buddies were big in copper and cable TV so that’s what they got. Good ol’ CDU/CSU corruption. Nothing ever changes.

      Yes, unfortunately, but one thing is certain: the goddamned Nazis of the AfD, who already have the support of a quarter of the population because they falsely portray themselves as saviors, will ruin the country for good if they ever come to power. You only have to look at the US to see how disastrous a fascist government is and where its priorities actually lie.

        It’s kind of amazing to have this flipped to where Germany is pointing the to US on the dangers of giving in to fascism. We never learn the right lessons from history.
