My fan that i use for sleeping has 4 modes: 1, 2, Turbo, and Sleep mode. Can you guess the only mode that has an LED? That's right, the only mode on the fan that has an LED is SLEEP MODE and even worse its a blue LED. I taped over it with black tape.

I'll give you a unique perspective. I'm from Alabama, lived 27 years born and raised. I've lived in Germany the last 9 years. I tell my people from Alabama all about socialist democratic Germany and they don't believe me, don't think it can work, and lately have been lashing out at me for being unamerican. Well yeah, America is really bad compared to Germany.

I mean in the sense that modern capitalism is very much a broken system that benefits less and less people. If people start talking about how capitalism sucks and needs to change it's all "Socialist! Commie!" In the sense that you can't say capitalism is shit it is very much sold to us.

not enough people understand that our beloved capitalism is just our version of communism: Sold to us as the undisputed miracle of an economic system that is better than all previous versions. Did you know, that to Russia, WE are Russia. To China, WE are China. You have to be careful of brainwashing just because you live in that current system.

was just randomly selected to be piled onto. It was a bad joke about this image, and then it became popular to downvote it. You have to understand this was very early Imgur and it had a different, tighter culture.

Teacher culture is soo different here, it's highly prized for the money and benefits, and you are incorrect in your beliefs

People aren't suing each other, there are no settlements. It's basically immigration and real estate law.

You are wrong. Have you lived in Germany? There is real competition to be a teacher, but the "law culture" of America doesn't exist here.

But this is my point: lowest average rent in America is the upper side of the average rent in all of Germany. I'm paying €675 for a 2br 2ba

Did you use 2022? Alabama is "one of the highest"

"North Dakota has the nation's lowest rent at $826" try again. I googled alabama ".. one of the highest in the nation and what can be done"

Like you said, impossible to compare. Also what a difference what the 65 index in major Frankfurt affords vs Memphis

So the German NYC is 4 points higher than a high crime poor southern city.

Frankfurt is a bad example here because it's the financial center of Germany (so german NYC) and Memphis is an extremely poor Tennessee town

It's difficult to compare, it's 2 different systems. A state teacher has won the lotto, a lawyer enjoys studying law. Ok rant over

Taken care of and the security, both in life and financially, is more prized than the lawyers.

Last thing to add: state job in Germany is something extremely nice. The lawyer will fluctuate, but the state teacher is extremely well

Yes I understand. But as an American that lived both, the euro buys much more in a german life than a dollar in US. Regardless of exchange.
