I still don’t understand how anyone can continue to tolerate this situation. There are no significant civil protests, no visible political backlash. Everyone seems to be either passively accepting the current state of affairs or simply waiting for it to blow over (the majority appears to even support the ongoing cleansing of the country).

Stupidity is a mystery. No one has ever observed it or heard it or felt it. We can see and hear and feel only what stupidity does. We know it makes people say strange things, make poor decisions, and ignore obvious facts. But we cannot say what stupidity is like.
We cannot even say where stupidity comes from. Some say it might stem from ignorance or misinformation. Others think that social influences or emotional bias produce some of it. All everyone knows is that stupidity seems to be everywhere and that there are many ways for it to surface.

varnia@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Deutschland@feddit.org•Der Durchschnittsmensch in Deutschland4·11 days agoImmerhin liege ich bei der Nettokaltmiete noch gut – auch wenn es sich nur um einen winzigen, heruntergekommenen Altbau ohne Balkon handelt.
Das bedeutet aber auch: Die Mietwohnungen, die derzeit auf dem Markt sind und 10, 15 und mehr €/m² kosten, haben rein gar nichts mehr mit der Realität zu tun - zumindest nicht mit meiner. Das beruhigt mich irgendwie. Es gibt mir die Sicherheit, dass ich wohl noch mindestens zehn weitere Jahre in meiner kleinen Höhle hausen kann.

They could have simply played it cool and acted like nothing happened - no one would have even seen the image. As CEO and HR, maintaining composure and saving face is literally part of their job.

varnia@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto World News@lemmy.world•Germany to raise minimum wage to €14.60 by 2027English6·1 month agoAnd there are still voices against least income with arguments like:
- It increases inflation - inflation increased when companies got greedy, not when paying higher wages
- It destroys jobs - that didn’t happen at all
- Simple things like hair cuts, farming products will become too extensive - also didn’t happen - at least not because of least income
- It’s not necessary since incomes went up already due to labor and experts shortage - are they for real?
And there are still discussions to exempt things like seasonal workers or even elderly care workers from it - unbelievable.
