These people quit their shitty jobs because they are no longer forced to do them for the sake of survival, and now have more time to spend with their family, which–I guarantee you—…

Do you have a source on that, or do you think lawmakers might also be concerned with the well being of children, mums, dads, single parents, young parents–no matter how many childr…

Germany is a two-class society divided into landlords and renters. A landlord will usually not own only one but ~3-20 houses that total to ~15-100 flats. The landlords often are re…
