Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

It is expected, though. Just go to the bakery shortly before closing time and listen to the complaints when customers don’t get the items they want.

I know. But that doesn’t make it any better. And if everyone joined in saving, a lot could be saved without it hurting. If someone wants something special, they can order it. But it would already help a lot if all stores were required not to throw anything away but to give away surpluses. I mean, that’s how it is in France. That could achieve a lot without anyone having to restrict themselves. By the way, it would also save energy.

to contribute something to the actual topic again, our construction company informed me today that our house built in 2020 would cost about 30% more today. I am talking about the total price now. So just the house without additional construction costs etc... Quite a hefty amount. :rolleyes:

But it is expected. Just go to the bakery shortly before closing time and listen to the complaints when customers do not get the items they want.

And even if the customers do not complain. In the pre-checkout areas in the supermarket, the range and depth of assortment are usually contractually fixed until 8 p.m., and not to the advantage of the baker or anyone else. This, in turn, puts pressure on the traditional baker because expectations from the customers are also placed on him.

But it would also help a lot if all stores were obliged not to throw things away but to give away surplus. I mean, that's how it is in France. You could achieve a lot with that without anyone having to restrict themselves. By the way, it also saves energy.

But overall, it is also a different attitude towards food. In France, it was quite a scandal when a baguette was offered for 29 cents. The German consumer would celebrate that.

If I read in the official party program under point 6 "Commitment to the traditional family as a guiding principle" and then see that the chairwoman of the parliamentary group is herself lesbian and lives with another woman, then I simply consider the whole thing to be unbelievable.

That on the one hand, and on the other hand, a cold shiver runs down my spine. Do we really want to go back to that? Woman at the stove, and when darling comes home from the office in the evening, she brings him the slippers and the pipe? That's the stuff nightmares are made of. Their voters can only come from two camps - incels and people who haven't read the party program.

That's one thing, and on the other hand, a cold shiver runs down my spine.

Have you ever read the Green Party's program? Unlimited and uncontrolled immigration? Anyone who cannot distinguish between asylum law and immigration in a welfare state is dangerous. LGBTQ madness already in elementary schools? Everyone and their lifestyle should be tolerated. Only the show around trans people annoys me extremely by now. It doesn't lead to more tolerance but instead you can see it annoys people. Unfortunately, violence is also increasingly escalating there, and for example, Malte had to die.

We hoist rainbow flags at the Bundestag. That is not only silly, I consider it dangerous. It is an ideology, just like National Socialism was. The Greens remind me more and more of that terrible time. But the AfD is considered Nazis.

The AfD doesn't claim "woman at the stove" anywhere. Where is such nonsense supposed to be stated?

On the topic of AfD/Nazi: Please do not use the term Nazi inflationally! It is more than enough for me that Putin and his cronies call the Ukrainians Nazis again!

That on the one hand, and on the other hand I get a chill down my spine. Do we really want to go back to that?

Their voters can only come from 2 groups – incels and people who haven’t read the party program.

Maybe that’s not quite the party clientele: darling comes home in the evening after a hard week of shift work and is glad if the woman is still at home to take care of the house and children?
