I only truly started to understand the scale as well as the significance during university. I studied chemistry and material sciences and we often would have guest speakers that produced some boring ass thing one usually doesn't think twice about and that doesn't even have a high price tag to it. However all those companies were producing for a global market and were often the sole or one of very few producers. This made me change the way i look at opportunities to make money as it really isn't in the big shiny things like sports cars, airplanes and their likes, but e.g. a component for glue used in pretty much every house construction around the world, or some small plastic component that is used in every modern piping system around the world. Things that were just replaceable small stuff i wouldn't have thought twice about seeing them everywhere suddenly became a lot more interesting and I started to appreciate the engineering that has gone even into something as mundain as a plastic water bottle or nylon socks

The Mittelstand is often spoken of in Germany and it employs about 60% of German workers. In NJ small businesses with < 100 employ 49.8%. The amount of economic specialization in today's economies is phenomenal. Many overlook this because people often overlook the mundane. In general, the real reason is that people get up and go to work and they make their lives better for themselves, their families, their children collectively resulting in this emergent order of our relatively prosperous societies.

Hi, I'm Brazilian and I've been living in Germany for 1 year and 8 months. I agree one hundred percent with you. When you talk about corruption, it's clear to me that it's not just a matter of politicians being honest. The population also needs to be. In several plantations around Munich, I saw the products displayed for sale without anyone present. You choose what you want to buy and deposit the money in a box beside it. And it's not a safe, just a plain wooden box. I'm subscribed to your channel and I find the videos funny and sometimes educational :)

Great Vid, although Hitler wasn't actually voted into power, he had a minority : " In July 1932, the peak of the Nazis’ electoral reach, they won 37% of the vote, while 35% went to the Socialist and Communist parties. By November 1932, the tables had turned. The Nazis won 32% of the vote, but the combined total for Socialists and Communists was 36.8%. In the last election before Hitler’s appointment as Chancellor, his party was losing ground!" So it was the Bourgeoisie who named him chancellor because the rich fear the left more than fascists, fascists keep the rich, rich and make the poor kill each-other. But the US did vote Trump for président...

If I loose my job for any reason I still know how to pay my apt and when I retire I still get money monthly, I payed for it within all my working years with my taxes! There is also a so called "generationenvertrag"! Working people pays with a part of their taxes the retire money for the olders...and so on! We have no socialistic system, I am proud we have a social system!

Not everyone coming from "West". To the Northeast Slavic-speaking tribes, there were only one people westward of them, Germans, and they called them "nemcu/i" meaning people who don't speak our language. Similarly, the term "Slavic" comes from "slovo" meaning "speech" i.e. "people who speak like us". Romans weren't called Nemcu, they were a distinct nation, south of Europe since way before both Slavic and Germanic tribes came around. In the old days, culture meant language, not ethnicity. As long as you speak the language, you are one of them. In that sense, both Slavic and Germanic are linguistic terms, not ethnic groups.

If you want a cheaper trip to something like Germany, move to california or canada. california is similar to germany in regards to how expensive housing is, canada is just... the people. They're quite european. Germany is pretty much fornias housing/living expenses, canadian "govern me harder, daddy" plus a shitload of beaurocracy. Sure it's nice to visit, but living here can be... exhausting. to some degree. Sure, if you "do it by the book", the welfare system will keep you from living on the streets, but at the same time it will take any penny out of your pocket. Comparing your gross income to the life you get for it, you are living much more comfortable in the US. a miniscule 200sqft appartment (loud neighbors included) will cost you 400€ at least. A "decent" appartment will often cost 1500€ and more, which is about half if not 2/3 of your net income. No, that is not mortgage, that is just rent. To BUY even a small appartment you will need to spend about a quarter million, often more than half a million, resulting in mortgage rates of 2500€ or more / month. If you can sqeeze even 3000€ net income out of your job you can allready call yourself lucky. Managing to save up 50k€ alone will take half a life time for most germans. Oh, and be warned: everyone is going to stare. Especially when you open your mouth and just a single english word passes your lips.

The conservative UK govt (it was in a coalition with a left-centre party that was weak af) made it compulsory for students to pay yearly tuition fees, the cheapest £9.5k, that's on top of accomodation, transport, food, utilities.. then a few years later we had brexit and with all the problems we face now, we still have some that rather see the "economy tank" (collapse) than to be part of EU.. noone told us they were planning to let raw sewage into our waters because of chemical shortages.. Education really is the path to progress, especially having some critical thinking skills.. kudos to Germany for looking after its people so well, please do not privatise education, EVER. ☮️

In Russia we have free school education. After the school you have two ways in Russia: 1. You pass the exams with high results and the state pays your education 2. You pass the exams with average or low results and you need to pay the education. Pretty fair in my opinion 🤷‍♂️

We shouldn't cast our pearls before swine...nor we should throw resources to people that do not deserve them because that will also not be fair to taxpayers and to the people who is really putting in the effort.?

Of course there is corruption here. Especially with the CDU / CSU party. But it works a little differently. If the politicians pass certain laws through parliament for the companies, they will get high-paying jobs at these companies a few years later. Or consulting jobs in which they don't have to do anything. This has been going on for many years, especially with the transport minister, economics minister, agriculture minister, previously with the defense minister and some young politicians who are only in politics because they are bought.

Germany has about 20,000 castles, the majority of them in poor repair now. If that sounds excessive, realize that during most of its history it was a patchwork of over 300 rival semi-independent principalities, nominally loyal to the emperor, that ranged from pretentious glorified city states (sometimes even actual formal city states like the Free Imperial Cities; Hamburg is still a city-state) to sizable kingdoms in their own right like Bavaria and Prussia. But even so that averages to around 70 castles per kingdom. It makes a fun place for modern visitors, though it's clear a lot of resources were spent that could have been put to better use for society in general. But think of it from a royal perspective. "Up there on the hill overlooking our capital is the fortress that my ancestors moved into sometime around when written records started being kept. Of course it's been enlarged a few times as building styles changed, and refortified after a couple of sieges. The real improvements came when the townspeople rose up with the peasants during that whole Martin Luther debacle. I'm happy to report that our family stronghold is now quite torchproof and pitchforkproof. Really came in handy in keeping out the Swedes during that whole Thirty Years War thing. The cousins weren't quite so lucky, but the ones who survived can keep their little fortresses and amuse themselves with jousting and gardening or whatever as long as they don't get any ideas like the great great uncle who thought his branch of the family should take the throne after that whole succession crisis in something hundred and something. The whole kingdom almost reverted to Catholicism, and now we have that whole Edict of Toleration thing going on so we make sure to build a Lutheran church next door to any Catholic church just to make sure nothing looks unbalanced and the peasants don't revolt. Again. And then you have to be really careful who you marry so you don't trigger any suspicion that you're going to change the policy. Anywho, I've still got a couple of dozen knightly retainers who have their little castles their great great whatever grandparents obtained with the minor noble titles they got in exchange for their pledges of fealty to my exalted forebears. We've still technically got the oaths, but more importantly the cost of running their households has them constantly hanging around begging to be of service so that they can get something out of the privy purse. Keeps them in my pocket in case the cousins feel up to something again. We still have a few other castles that we built to secure the major trade routes, collect taxes, protect the royal treasuries, etc. Fortunately a few of them came in handy in fighting off the Turks. We had to abandon a couple and start over when the course of the river shifted and the location was kind of rendered useless. A few burnt down and we did a half assed job of rebuilding them. The French took out a couple with artillery during that whole War of the Whatever Succession (I can't keep track of all of them.) So we just abandoned those because obviously they're no good anymore with all these firearms proliferating. Better to spend the money on defense in depth for the garrison towns that are in better shape now. So in any case things have settled down with the locals enough, and we really need to show how modern and prosperous we are, and there just isn't room to host all the artists and intellectuals that befit the glory of our kingdom behind those old walls, and there isn't really room on the hilltop for expansion, and it's just so old fashioned and unsightly, and have you seen what King Louis's got now? So we built a new royal residence down on the edge of town, and rearranged the town square around it with an opera house, a museum, and some nice new office buildings for the various ministries and the royal archives. There's a whole new wing with accommodations for the imperial court. With any luck the Emperor will remember what Dad did for him during that whole Siege of Vienna, and will remember me when it gets time to appoint the chancellorship and access to the Privy Purse. Speaking of Dad he got some weird delusions of grandeur after coming back from the war, and decided the capital just wasn't good enough for him, so he went off to one of his favorite vacation spots outside of town, renamed it Dadsburg, and proceeded to bring in some foreigners to design an entire city from scratch around his new palace. So everyone had to up and leave for the new town and pretend to like it while everything was under construction. So impractical. Admittedly it looks pretty good now, but it's a little dated, so 80's (1680's that is.). Not a bad vacation spot now, except it's all gloomy now that stepmom lives there after dad died. So anyhow we moved everything back to the old capital once the renovation project was far enough along. I'm going to leave my stamp on this city, and no Frenchie or Italian can say anything but wow about the new palace square. It's in the most sophisticated taste possible, and I spared no expense in getting the best painters and decorators to magnify my exalted self in the allegorical stuff all over the place. Though even with the new private rooms things get a bit old with all the courtly ceremonies. Lever, Coucher, a monarch's work is never done. Can't a royal person get a little privacy in his privy chamber now and again? So we expanded the summer residence outside the city to be able to hold the whole court for a few months. Very airy and nice for the hot season. And away from all those townies. The commoners smell a bit ripe in the heat, don't you know. There's even a few maisons de plaisance in the gardens where I can go meditate and commune with nature and with some visitors undisturbed, if you know what I mean. Wink wink nudge nudge. Speaking of which I had to build a nice private place for my mistress when I found out she was pregnant so she could raise the kid away from prying eyes. It's conveniently located so I can visit it discreetly during some of my hunting trips. I inherited a couple of hunting lodges around the country and had to renovate them a bit to keep them up to snuff. Gave one of the old ones to my ex mistress, way out in the boonies so she understands not to pester me at court anymore. I built a new place for my current on again/off again mistress and her husband nearby the main residence. That way I can visit when I send him off on diplomatic missions and nobody will think twice about it. Of course with all this going on I can't let my wife feel neglected. I built a whole nice little villa for her after the birth of our first child, because I know she likes Italy. So she and her ladies in waiting or whoever can have their little girly parties there and everyone keeps the peace in the household. I'm only allowed to visit by invitation, and everyone is happy with that. How many castles is that? I've lost track. That's why we keep accountants I guess. Anyway, I'm exhausted from keeping track of all this. I've commissioned the royal architect to build a new palace where I can retire, out by one of the nice monasteries or a university or something. I can put the students to work on my gardening ideas or sorting the royal rock collection or whatever while I read some of those newfangled novels. I've been curious what the women are all giggling about with their noses in a book all day long. Not traditional psalters I'll tell you what! What can I say, it's good to be the king." And thus we inherit a built environment largely shaped by the whims and needs of aristocrats shaping the material conditions of their times around their self-perceived interests. It's much more fun enjoying them from a remove of a few hundred years than it was living with the actual inhabitants.
