I mean, we likely also hunted every animal on the planet unsuccessfully and got killed by them.
did any society ever rely on polar bears as a major food source? because to me, that would seem like the absolute last resort. Not an everyday-type activity, more something for the desperate or someone crazy. Then again, I’m not into stone age history.
its revenge, actually. Justified at that.
Thats how we made it this far. Some absolute morons charge ahead and get themselves killed, while everyone else shakes their head. With some animals it works, surprisingly. Others we learn to keep away from- until the next moron feels like " hey, lets try that thing again!".
well, what happened is that Greece was forced into a state of austerity that didnt help absolve them of debt and ultimately caused more damage than good. Especially for the working population.
Thats kinda important, regarding Germanys role in “helping” the country.
okay, but regarding productivity: do you really buy that idea?
Because to me that would imply that greek workers are just less productive than german workers, which is why they have to work so hard.
There are a lot of other factors at play
I’m German for context. I was born into a country that was already pretty well-off economically speaking, long before I could participate. I got a great education for free. I dont work less because I’m more productive or efficient. I work less, because our country can afford better labor laws and there is a social net that catches family members who are struggling and/or have bad health. I got work at all because the german economy performs comparably well and our politicians and rich people didnt screw up this bad. At least not when our own country is concerned. Dont want to make a statement about foreign policy.
This is what I browse this sub for, thank you.
thanks for rhe source!
