Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

and what now? What can one still afford to save something for old age?

Canned food?

(I am otherwise at a loss for words.)

Somehow, the usual dependencies between construction/purchase costs and loan interest rates just don’t fit at the moment. In 2001, we paid an interest rate of about 5% on 10 years for the condo. That was easily affordable, as the acquisition costs of the apartment were in a manageable range compared to the salary. However, back then, for example, the real estate transfer tax in NRW was at 3.5% (I believe). Finally, they are addressing that now. For years, it was said: retirement provision through ownership, then it was stocks, and what now? What can one still afford to save something for old age?

As hard as it may sound: just slow down a bit and take a breather. Things always went forward so far and a crisis also offers incredible opportunities – by the way, you can build those words together in Scrabble ;-) Joking aside: the oil price has been falling for months now and has lost well over 30% compared to the peak by now. It is only a matter of time before this is properly reflected at the gas stations. That also pulls the gas price down; gas has lost about 20% compared to the peak, by the way. That, in turn, will cause electricity prices to fall. That, in turn, will slow down or slightly reduce another rise in producer prices. This development gives me a little hope. Now I am curious what the federal government makes of this situation and builds for the future.

Which experts are supposed to be? The ones in the expert council who were wrong for 2 years now? A Drosten, a Brinkmann or a Sanders (Pfizer sends its warm regards). Please don't make yourself ridiculous.

There is more than enough data from the UK, Sweden or also Hamburg. Mask mandates have zero effect. That of course does not mean that masks do not work. It is only about the mandate.

It's so cool. A new virus comes along and you demand that everything is done right from day 1. No one knew how it would develop, nobody still knows 100% because it is so new. That would be like if I put a fusion reactor in front of you and say, now you are the operator, and please don't forget the maintenance. You and your kind (AfD) are very good at complaining. Opposition is especially pleasant nowadays, because you can do nothing wrong, you are not the ones making the decisions.

All I hear from you is populist talk and when someone comes with facts, they just get ignored. But that is very well known from the AfD. When a member shows his true face in an interview and utters a far-right phrase, it is immediately relativized by the leadership as "it wasn't meant like that." If AfD is good at anything, it is that. Nothing more...

It is so cool. A new virus appears and you demand that everything is done right from day one. No one knew how it would develop, nobody knows 100% even now because it is so new.

Meanwhile, the virus is no longer new. And one could already expect that a sensible IfSG would be put together. With clear statements on when which measures may be applied. So that not every regional ruler decides on their own and can put people in fear and uncertainty. And maybe also see what the neighboring countries are doing. But Lauterbach still insists on his vaccination mandate instead of admitting, like a proper democrat, that he simply cannot find a majority for it. That is kindergarten level. Or one could expect that other problems in the healthcare system are finally being addressed. You work in a hospital. Do you know how many people die each year from hospital germs? That is about as many as currently die FROM Corona (maybe a few less or more, no one really knows the exact numbers of those who truly died FROM Corona). And a large part of these deaths could be prevented with a fraction of the effort used for Corona. And with less damage from the measures that would have to be taken for it.

... The true face of a member of parliament is revealed in an interview and he utters a right-wing radical remark, it is immediately relativized by the leadership and presented as "it wasn't meant that way." If AfD can do anything, it is that. Nothing more…

- it seems very familiar to me, albeit under different circumstances. Wasn't there something just recently about voter will and businesses that should close down? The relativizations followed promptly. So before throwing stones around, one should look around, one might be sitting in a glass house oneself

By now, however, the virus is no longer new.
And one could expect that a sensible Infection Protection Act would be established. With clear statements about when which measures may be applied. So that not every regional ruler decides for themselves again and can put people into fear and uncertainty. And maybe also taking a look at what neighboring countries are doing.

But we have talked about the last 2 years. And at least in the first year not much was known about the virus.

- it seems very familiar to me, but under different circumstances among others. Wasn't there just recently something about the will of the voters and companies that should close? The relativizations followed promptly. So before one throws stones around, one should look around, maybe one is sitting in a glass house themselves

You are now comparing right-wing extremist statements with economic ones. Very thin ice...
