yeah right, i totally believe you've been driving cars through UAE, oman, singapore, and malaysia enough to make that statement...
so you have some oil monarchies / sparsely populated, low traffic tax havens for the wealthy (who additionally raise road charges btw, lol) / and city states... but couldn't find a single country that is even remotely similar to germany in terms of traffic and road density, that even comes close in terms of road quality while having low tax rates. that's what i thought.
while things are OBVIOUSLY far from perfect, while potholes and poor quality roads (particularly in poorer regions and communities, it's luckily not a big issue where i live for example), as well as roadworks can be quite the nuisance, the reality is that german roads are actually rather well maintained by comparison - especially if you keep in mind that all of europe is using them freely.
same is true for all the other items you mentioned. plenty of issues with education, healthcare, bureaucracy, and especially digital infrastructure - but if you ACTUALLY made fair comparisons with our neighbours and peers, you'd realise that we're still rather well off all things considered. again, that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of room for improvement, but it's not as bad and desperate as you're trying to make it sound there.
bist so ein richtig verspießter nörgel- und mecker-meister, oder? alles immer schlecht, alles immer scheiße, die anderen haben es immer so viel besser als du, ne? du wirst augen machen solltest du jemals dein zimmerchen verlassen und raus in die echte welt gehen... xD
oh, you really had to put in the part in german?
you are the guy whining about discrimination this and racism, inequality, REEEEE rich people that despite having the the most comfortable life while doing nothing productive
unlike you i have standards fenderp and i do expect the best for half of my paycheck, end of story
services in germany are like paying 50 bucks for noodles with ketchup and you tell me to be thankful, because its worse in somalia
i have driven both cars and bikes in the UAE, oman and i couldnt spot one pothole in kuala lumpur or singapore + everything is clean and public transport is splendid
the improvement you talk is clearly NOT happening and it wont happen
i mean you are whining here daily how evil, racist, bad the world is, i am constantly saying that the world has never been better and never had more opportunity in the history of the human race
stop projecting
your statements are the classic, toxic, german karen shaming attempts....that shit isnt working on me buddy, you people wont drag me into the abyss with you
thankfully this will be a thing of the past in spring

The issue with present-day Germany isn't necessarily the current state of the country, it's the catastrophic trajectory. Being a German is like being the stockholder of a company which has is on an irreversible path to bankruptcy - as long as you don't sell off your stock, the loss isn't realized and you can keep telling yourself that you haven't lost your equity... but you will in the end because the damage has already been done.
Same story with our country. Have fun supporting a country with crumbling infrastructure, an aging and increasingly outdated economic model, a healthcare system which is coming apart at the seams, a catastrophic demographic makeup, a pension system which will keep eating a big chunk of your wages while you yourself will get the bare minimum by the time you retire, ever-soaring energy and food prices and stangnant or declining real wages. And that's not just a description of 2022, or a prediction for 2023 or perhaps 2024 - I'm talking about the coming decades.
in short: game over
the thing is that people like fender in their state sponsored bubble dont see this shit until its too late
of course, the things i talk about can only hurt you when its coming out of your paycheck
just last week i visited a relative in hospital (big one in hamburg) and it was absolutely shocking, zero expectations and it felt like an afghan field hospital
where the fuck is all the money? clearly not in the staff or food
