Germany has become the sick man of Europe. It's amazing, but the increasing attacks by politicians on the middle class and the productive population are now having an effect on the health of the population.

What should I say: the society is sick grosso modo. It is infected with wokeism and it suffers from statism

All paid sick leave? Or unpaid?

I don't know the details, because in Germany everything is so bureaucratized that you have to study it for days. For a certain period of time, I think it's 7 weeks, you continue to receive your salary as normal, after which the statutory health insurance steps in and pays 70% of your last net income. But please, this is information that you have to check. that's how it used to be.

Many times politicians only look out for their own interests, without caring about those who supported them to be where they are today.

A financial crisis can contribute to the triggering or worsening of health problems, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, hypertension and heart disease. This data is masked to hide the state's ills from its population

Yep

That's crazy! I take as many sick days off as I can reasonably justify and I'm not even close to using the two weeks a year I get.

How are German's using a full month of sick leave on average every year?

We ask the doctor to excuse us from work

I'm not curious about that part. I'm curious why people are taking so much sick time. I take the day off whenever anyone in my house is sick and I still can't even hit two weeks a year.

I wonder if it's a health issue or if they're just calling in more often because they don't give a fuck.

They all suffer from wokeism and socialist diarrhea

I would never have associated Germany with Wokeism. Or any kind of economic decline/sluggishness. The hay led Europe economically for 50 years.

i don't get it, you are always so negative about germany, which is fine but at least you could post your sources.

for example, this data is different: https://www.destatis.de/EN/Themes/Labour/Labour-Market/Quality-Employment/Dimension2/2_3_StaffSickLeave.html

which says 15 days in 2023.

It's amazing, but the increasing attacks by politicians on the middle class and the productive population are now having an effect on the health of the population.

way to cherry pick some data to push your ideas.

I think it's worth noting that the Euro Zone, Japan and the USA all back their respective currency with reserves of the other two.

I believe the yen is intentionally deflationary to allow allies to save. The US is designed to lend and the Euro is most commonly spent. Given the mad amounts of allied spending it makes sense that each is feeling it's respective blows
