Germany always surprise me with continuous contradiction in their society.

Largest economy in eu but very unstable and riddled with wierd burocracy.

Strongest worker protection, but very large amount of lobbysm.

Most advanced railway system in eu, transformed into a joke by interdiction from said lobbies.

You have to pay a "radio tax" to help funding press and keep it independent, but then fuck net neutrality.

And I could continue with more point, but I don't want to get too political.

I know about this issue so it's great that something is being done about it, but the page really needs a text explainer instead of the just a video.

Isn't that exactly what is below the video in the "What is this about?" section?

That's only a very vague description.

Do you know similarly large, democratic societies without contradictions?

Telekom is well known for the crappy service - but they have a de facto monopoly. For example, when it rains, the line goes down where I live.

Solution: I got my Starlink. 3x speed. No crappy service. Weather independent. And surprinsingly cheaper ( 40 euros vs 45 ) .
