  1. ‘slash bureaucracy’ in combination with that pic *chef’s kiss*

  2. *in 50 years, we will be able to move away from fax /s

  3. I hope Germany makes some kind of historical decision this week, just to have this pic make it into the history books.

  4. I am always afraid that “slash bureaucracy” is used as code for “reduce welfare and general investments in the public space”

    There are valid areas where bureaucracy needs to be reduced, however, there are also very important areas where we need more bureaucracy (e.g. bringing public transport back into public ownership – which automatically leads to “more” bureaucracy)

    I kind of hate how “bureaucracy” became synonymous with “ineffective” and “bloated”. When it is only meant to describe the way a state, which wants to uphold the rule of law, needs to act.

  5. Scholz is the teenage girl that likes the bad guy in her classroom and thinks: I can change him.

    Scholz, you can’t change Germany’s bureaucracy, nobody can.

  6. >Scholz spoke after opposition leader Friedrich Merz declared that “our country is suffocating in bureaucracy” and accused the center-left chancellor’s government of creating more and more of it. He said his conservative party, if in government, would immediately halt any legislation that creates new bureaucratic hurdles — such as a contentious plan to replace fossil-fuel home heating systems.

    My God, it’s just like Poland and USA, except CDU+CSU and SPD really are that similar to one another.

  7. motherfucker lost an eye and instantly started talking like a pirate

  8. He is literally the Chancelor of Germany right now.

    How about the Ampel stops only talking about bureaucracy and modernizing and instead starts doing it.

    I will give them 2 weeks max before they start the infighting again and subsequently 0 progress will be made

  9. I mean that is something everyone says very regularly but what are they actually going to do about it? By our political system’s design the federal government can’t do much alone. A lot has to be done in the states and even on the communal/regional level. If Scholz’s government wants to get something done they need to sit down with the federal states and get an action plan going.
