Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

It usually starts with the land first. The bubble prices are no longer sustainable.

I had that thought recently as well. My girlfriend was still on a waiting list for a development area in Hegau. The municipality (<5000 inhabitants) apparently has several new development areas in the pipeline that will be buildable in the next 2-3 years. When I combine that with the fact that plots of land are currently being returned en masse, I am curious to see whether, in the medium term, selection procedures and urgent building requirements will disappear again in most regions.

Germany is sometimes really funny. Speed limits are taboo, but letting tenants freeze is being discussed?

I can very well imagine that this screw will come too. Likewise the Sunday driving ban. And honestly.... I think the government isn't doing such a bad job. They have already been pushed into the cold water with the tasks they now have to handle. I have serious doubts that things would have gone better with the CDU. People somehow complain about every government, but no one really wants to do it themselves and realize how you start with a lot of commitment and then first have to fight windmills. Anyone who has done voluntary work will know what I mean.

A reasonably normally committed teacher works over 40 hours. A full-time position consists of 27 teaching hours. In addition, there are supervision duties, preparation and follow-up, etc. It is no coincidence that many teachers voluntarily reduce their hours. The peak workloads are quite high. In addition, many, if not most, are also deployed outside their subject area. I imagine that is very stressful when I suddenly have to teach a subject in which I am not confident myself. So, in my opinion, the teachers have my understanding.

One must not forget: outside the bubble, an hour is more than just 45 minutes and the vacation is at most 30 days.

Please don't forget: outside the bubble, the hour has more than just 45 minutes and the vacation is a maximum of 30 days

Please don't forget that the quarter before the hour counts as teaching time and especially during pandemic times, almost every break had to be supervised. By 1 o'clock, you haven't gotten rid of all the students yet, so four of the six hours daily easily last 60 minutes each. But you're right, the time without teaching is a dream. In my opinion, it compensates for the significantly higher stress level compared to a "normal" job.

Mornings work, afternoons free. And off to the pub :eek:

Likewise the Sunday driving ban.

Then the decision-makers hopefully also consider what is behind that. Sectors of the economy that were hit hard during the corona crisis are again the most affected.
