It seems like there’s more animosity towards immigrants, but I honestly think it reached a peak a while ago. The Syrian refugee diaspora was ten years ago. Any increase in right-wing extremism is from a general, global fad. They seem to feed off each other. These are just feelings. I don’t have any data

I’m not 100% sure, but might just need to take the Staatsexam. It’s a funny situation because registered nurses in the US go through a four- year bachelor’s, which doesn’t exist in Germany: just a trade school

a little less democracy creates a buffer against populism. Half of the legislature is chosen by the parties off a list (after winning support; sort of like voting straight-ticket). The parties make the lists, so they aren’t as likely to pick crazies as rogue voters. Then, a party has to get 5% of the votes to get a place in the assembly. Yes, the AFD has been meeting that occasionally, but, for the first reason, the real nutjobs find themselves in the lesser parties. On top of all this, the prime Minister isn’t directly elected, so a Trump (who most of his own party despises) is less likely. Germany is having problems lately; mostly with infighting and inter- party cooperation, but it’s harder for the populace to elect surprise officials

The street sort of counts too. Licensing requires them to stop for accidents, etc

My only question is, How often do these trucks overturn?

It might work. Sentences can be subjective, and it probably isn’t going to hurt. Why not try. Same reason people dress up for court: suit, tie—everything they wouldn’t normally wear

I’m not going to fault anyone for typos. I fight my phone’s autocorrect all the time, but it was odd that just those two letters were transposed

Did you switch the keycaps for your r’s and t’s?

I believe 911 will work without even a provider. I’ve obviously never tried it. Maybe without a card even
