So, lookout said on Sunday, he has heard that Germany

Submitted by mimi on Mon, 12/13/2021 - 9:42am

is in a mess. I wanna know what he heard, why what he heard is supposedly more of a mess than onther countries' messes and what about messy things being good fertilizers for change?

So, I put a US sticker on my letter box. May be that will make lookout happy. It feels like tensons between Germany and the US are increasing and some want it to be that way. Why?

I want to know what we have done so badly that Uncle Sam gets upset.

May be just some transparent and clear words would help?

Thanks in advance.

For one thing...

Germany wants to buy less expensive gas from Russia instead of expensive gas shipped from the US.

But what I was referring to is your new lockdowns and vaccine mandates.

Berlin (CNN) Germany on Thursday announced a nationwide lockdown for the unvaccinated, as its leaders backed plans for mandatory vaccinations in the coming months.
Unvaccinated people will be banned from accessing all but the most essential businesses, such as supermarkets and pharmacies, to curb the spread of coronavirus, outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel and her successor, Olaf Scholz, announced Thursday, following crisis talks with regional leaders. Those who have recently recovered from Covid-19 are not covered by the ban.
The pair also backed proposals for mandatory vaccinations, which if voted through the parliament could take effect from February at the earliest.

Additionally I wonder if your new leader want to be a US bitch like the UK...

At a news conference on Tuesday, Scholz emphasized these goals. “The trans-Atlantic relationship and our cooperation as part of NATO remain steadfast,” he said. “We commit to a community of democracies across the globe and I am very grateful to President Biden for emphasizing the importance of multilateralism and at the same time, we are committed to what unites particular nations: the idea of freedom, the rule of law, democracy and respect for human rights.”
...
whom Scholz would choose as health minister. In the end, he chose Karl Lauterbach, an epidemiologist and Social Democratic politician who criticized the Merkel administration’s handling of the pandemic. Lauterbach argues that the government needs implement stricter guidelines, he advocates for making COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory and has little patience for those who refuse to get vaccinated. He is a polarizing figure in a country where about 30% of the population is unvaccinated, so the selection sets the way for a potential political fallout.

That sounds problematic to me. YMMV, but that was my thought in that comment to you.

Yes, MMMV. At least he is not a liar.
And I don't trust Analena Baerbock, hot air and a super US bitch to use your kind words.

Very sad messes surrounding us everywhere. Not what we would need, right?

As Macron has said, the Germans react differently

@Lookout
to the virus and are more 'hysterical', because of our different demcratic system. Each of our 'Länder' has the right to have their own reactions toward vaccination and lockdown policies. It is a mess, but that's what it is.

I am just sad, because the division between Germany and the US is something that some powers want to happen.

We have people, who resist or resent the vaccination and lockdown methods. Unfortunately those are our reborn Nazis, and I won't overlook that, just because most do not want to admit those facts.

Wanna know what a mess is?

This is a mega-mess:
Hawaii’s ultra-luxury real estate market smashes records, as sales soar 600%. Here’s what’s selling

Any idea how that hurts ordinary workers. ?

I hope the revenge smashes will happen. No mercy.

Interesting

[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=750ASXEo4X8]

In the video it shows how countries with harsher measures compare with Sweden that never locked down. Weird how countries that are doing great are rarely mentioned in the media. Or counties that have been using ivermectin aren’t either. BTW the DOJ is now intercepting and confiscating packaged sent from India with ivermectin in them. So much for those inalienable rights Americans are supposed to have.

German Schoolchildren Subjected To “Ritual Humiliation” Over Their Vaccine Status

Schoolchildren in Germany are being subjected to ritual humiliation by being forced to divulge their vaccination status in front of their class on a daily basis, with unjabbed kids being questioned as to why they haven’t received it.

Yes, really.

“Those who are vaccinated are applauded, those who are not have to explain why they’re not,” he added, noting that such treatment “should raise an alarm bell” for people who are in favor of mandatory vaccines.

Story also described how authorities in Germany are rolling out wristbands for people to go shopping, with those who haven’t properly complied by getting jabbed and following other rules being banned from being able to go shopping “across a multitude of stores.”

Snoopy, I think there are much worse things

@snoopydawg
than that, which will have long-term psychological damages to the children in the current situation. And of cours it is always the easy way to refer anything to the thirties. Overdone.

Kids want to go to school, being with other kids in the classroom. Let them be. They have been shuffled back and forth so often between long-distance learning, homeschooling and classrooms that anyone would just get a nervous breakdown.

I want to have peace between the US and us.

Germany gives young people free college tuition.

Here in the US kids have to spend huge amounts of money. Germany will even happily educate our children. Imagine

They would rather do that than open themselves up to a WTO challenge from the United states for undermining our commercial adult education sector by mixing public and private services. .

Vaccinating people over and over is likely to do more harm than

good, because of antigenic original sin. I think Ive brought that up a number of times, does anybody not remember.

If we take too many vaccines, we run a terrible risk of disabling the natural aquisition of imune defenses naturally. We'll exhaust our ability to defend againat new mutant betacoronaviridae.
