    Just come to germany, the government basically gives free money to everyone who comes here. Just claim that u seek asylum. Make sure to throw away your passport and other papers that can identify you. Then they can’t deport you. Stay long enough and you can get Bürgergeld, which means the government is paying your rent, healthcare and you get like 560 Euros per month or so.

    That’s awesome. In germany you can’t save up your vacation days, you have to use them up usually until March of the following year, otherwise you will lose them. Which is stupid, i would like to save some up each year and maybe retire like a year early then.



















  • Let’s see. Making tobacco illegal means the black market will florish. And then the government can’t regulate the quality. Kinda what we already have with Cannabis. A lot of countries legalize Cannabis so that buyers can be sure it is of proper quality and not mixed with dangerous substances. Yes, smoking is bad and that’s why it should be expensive in order to discourage people from smoking. And a lot of public spaces should be smoke-free as well so that non-smokers are affected by smokers as little as possible. Banning something completely can go fully in the opposite way, just look what the Prohibition back in the US did with regards to Alcohol.
