Unfortunately, you took the sentence out of context. I myself wrote something more afterwards. Basically, I agree with many things you say. However, I also travel a lot in the world and see that even with cooler apartments and cold showers we would still be among the richest in the world. Which does not mean that I approve of and accept the current development. It scares me.I think your post is great and I even marked it with a "love." However, I have not used or accepted the quoted remark from you for years; from my point of view, it is a trump card argument; in my opinion, it is meant to keep citizens quiet and distract from political failures. We complain because people in Germany will have to live in cold apartments next winter? Stop, there are countries where people don’t even have apartments (which we also have here), let alone with heating. Healthy nutrition with vegetables, fruits, etc. is too expensive? Wait a minute, in other countries there is no vegetables or fruit to buy at all. Children have to go to school without breakfast, and free breakfast is also not offered at school (which certainly influences cognitive abilities as well as concentration)? So what, in other countries children can’t go to school at all. In my opinion, the effort must be directed towards improving living conditions for us as well as for people in other countries and not remain silent in the face of politically caused deteriorations of living standards just because overall we are doing well compared to someone else in this world. It is bad enough that poverty in Germany is now visible in the teeth due to various health insurance reforms; one shouldn’t also have to smell it because poorer people can no longer afford to shower or simply don’t want/can’t shower in cold apartments (relatively cool). Just my opinion and assessment, subjective. ;-)
