    Effectively, this is government-mandated bundling. Now you must buy the extra service when taking a flight, whether you require it or not.

    The German state is also helping public health insurers hide their dirty secret: in hundreds of thousands of cases, denials were legally flawed and the cases have to be reviewed. T…

    AF also tried to pull the codeshare thing with me once. Didn't want to go around in circles with customer service and found it easier to initiate litigation. AF then hired a big la…

    One way to think about this: as a founder you charge your seed investors, whose capital you deploy, say 85% (preferences notwithstanding). Why wouldn't you do it all on your own an…

    My rate for private health insurance in Germany is nearly 9.6k EUR/yr, not including family. This is a contract so terms can vary. Here: zero deductible, vision and dental included…

    This mirrors my personal experience. To make a treatment decision, against the advice of my local doctors, that was key to survival I relied on US research. To compare costs: For a…

    I appreciate the offer. Otherwise I did have a superb experience with the medical system, that is real doctors not state workers with lapsed qualification.

    I have nothing personally against the guy, responding to personal asks for a favor is inappropriate but simply how such things work. This is simply a means to achieve the strictly …

    Thank you for your wishes. For future needs I was able to return to private health insurance which suffers from no such problem. However this cannot cover claims arisen prior to po…

    This has realistically no more than a 10-15% chance of succeeding, not dissimilar to a startup. For either, it is perhaps better to not get attached too much to a specific outcome.…

    Consider I had just survived a rare cancer that kills nearly everyone who gets it quickly, then when addressing a serious side effect from treatment this happens. Not claiming any …

    I appreciate your concern. Her own staffer did ask me some time ago, unprompted, if she too must fear criminal charges. There exists proof of this. I do feel bad for her and even t…

    Note I did nothing to manipulate the top court. The application was phrased politely and only hinted at a crime background. Severe procedural errors including denial of access to c…

    Not being able to tell if the facts are true I see why one might be inclined to think as much. I did discuss the matter with friends throughout the course of events to assure my ow…

    To clarify, the "way out" was simply a new filing for an interim order based on the novel fact that a potentially lethal complication had just occurred in connection with the case.…

    The judge felt safe to commit an overt serious crime due to her husband. He is the conditio sine qua non without which this the entire matter had not happened. He could make a choi…

    I did not ask her or any judge to resign. This was a proposal to the prosecutor's office prior to filing any of the serious charges and triggering certain events then required from…

    Honestly not so sure. This appears to be a fairly corrupt nation as a baseline so many may find this matter not all that surprising. His appointment a few years ago was controversi…

    This was a fun thing sent three days before the election, which his party was expected to lose. The same judge was vice-leader of this party until his appointment and is known to b…

    I expect all cases are going to be retried. As a criminal defense strategy the judge made a claim she "felt threatened" for an extremely long duration including all of her decision…

    You interpret this as an ultimatum, I see offering them a way out as being nice. At the same time one has to assert seeing through obvious b-s. What is appropriate gets decided by …

    Different standards apply for judges within proceedings, especially those making decisions at the very top. I did offer each offender a second chance, as I thought they might have …
