Dont come to the #UK Max.
It's beyond salvaging at this point and the native  pooulation is to old to revolt. 

 Germany seems to be similar 

 yes it’s is 
It’s so broken 
I have to travel a lot as a musician 
and it's insane 
1 out of 10 trips with Deutsche Bahn 
I m on time 

 Yea… It’s Crazy 

 I had the pleasure of using German trains last week... first train was 5 minutes late, not too bad, but then we stopped somewhere for 15 minutes, waiting for another train or something. In total we were 30 minutes late to my stop where i was supposed to change trains... missed my connection and had to wait another hour and a half for the next one... arrived to final destination two hours later than intended... incredible. 

 Incredibly sad 

 I wish I had your problems. 

 there is even a name (and lots of memes) about this class of problems

 I wish these were my worst problems but I don't over share. 

 And construction sites are constantly being opened on the streets. But nobody is working on them. *delighted 

 Hahah really? 

 It's extreme on German highways.
But also in country areas. I have a construction site on my own doorstep. For two months now. They're good at putting up and removing signs. Holes have been dug. But nobody works there.  😂 ☕ 

 Same disease, different country!  

 im on a train to Düsseldorf now 😂😂
So many people https://image.nostr.build/cd3a60e70e5d36a48c19f5c847e337424f230c27fd4f2442be0af7a95817c512.jpg  

 Maybe we’re in the same one.. mine looks exactly like this. 

Well never mind every train looks like this nowadays 😂😂 

 😂 

 True. 

 agruably, it depends on the government (in the end: society). look at switzerland or japan. 

with this respect, austria and germany are definetly on the decline.

good look 🍀 

  the Bahn increases the ticket prices for bad service... the politicians have been ruining Germany sinc so many years now.   

 Wait til you visit Romania my man. 

Talk about real stagnation.

Reading the creature from Jekyll island rn but Atlas shrugged is next.

You should also read the fountainhead. It’s an excellent book that Ayn Rand wrote before Atlas Shrugged 

 That was my experience in Germany as well 

 I hear ya.
Before and after Nostriga this summer we spent some time in Berlin.  It wasnt long before we realized it's the same shithole city that our home town of Vancouver, BC is.
The experiment has failed. Ann Coulter was right.  Mass  immigration has destroyed the western world, (among similar other stuff)..💩 

 But, wait, we can do it better this time in California.  Or is that communism? 

 Who is John Galt… 

 Have you tried Amtrak? 

 When we were there last year we were kind of amazed how reliable and effecient getting around Europe by train was. The German trains were excellent by busted Canadian standards.

Try Amtrak or Via rail. Trust me. You guys are decades ahead.  

 in ukraine we sometime have 6-10 hours of electricity in a day. we have daily raid alerts and weekly ballistic rockets explosions outside and still no one is using words "the whole system is on the brink of collapse". but now I know what it means, it is when train is 15 minutes late.

sorry for toxicity 

 Perspective is often helpful, thanks 🙏🏼 and strength to you 💪🏼
