LOL nobody with an useful and sought after skill will come to Germany, we have the highest taxes in the world and the country is going to shit so rapidly even foreigners take note.

At least you get health care with all your taxes. Unlike here in the US.

Only if you don't make that much money and are entitled to it. Most germans still have to get private medical insurance.

No they dont, its free to choose. Most well off people choose to go private because of the benefits.

Most germans cannot go private. It is literally beyond their income. The required level of income is 60k or something. That is quite high and above the median income of germany iirc

What a load of bull. You need to earn beyond a limit to be even allowed to switch to private insurance.

It hasnt fallen apart like Australia has, where the housing crisis there is like Bermannkiez, but across the entire continent.
Instead of fixing the problem, the fed gov wastes 368 bil on nuke subs. You could spend a 1/10 of that to just restore australian wildlife levels in the north, where most of Australia's terrifying wildlife exist, in order to have protect the borders from China.
It is insanely anti intellectual there, getting a phd torpedoes chances of getting a job outside of academia, which is a giant wankfest.
Berlin is incredibly safe. I feel safe moving around here. Living in Geelong or Traralgon is not really living at all with crime rates/capita there 4+x that of Berlin. I got treatment for a life long condition that threatened my career (ADHD) and fucked all of my relationships. I wouldve sunk easily 10k+ AUD into the psych appointments, if i could get them. In Germany, its absorbed by my insurance.
You have it really good here. Its worth paying taxes here.
