But first there must be a clear debate about priorities in Berlin. This debate must begin with the realization that, though one hardly ever hears such terms used in Berlin, the West actually has adversaries--and even enemies--that are undermining liberal democracy. Setting priorities means identifying true friends and foes.
Much of my experience has been in Bavaria, where I live, and no, not all these tips will apply everywhere, but I have travelled a fair bit around the country as well and have found that much of this holds true.
Hi Christina You just made my day I read your post and I as laughing sooo many times loud out . I am from Germany live now in the US ( east coast ) since 20+ years and same as you I LOVE TO TRAVEL and see the world. Mostly Asia You are mostly SO RIGHT in your description about Germany.Lucky me I am not from Bavaria but from the NORTH but most of your tips is true for all of Germany Again LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR POST
The TCA approach employs the economic thesis that modified price levels on behalf of sustainability actuate consumption behavior change: products that cause high damages would be priced proportionally higher than products that are less harmful; consumers act in their best economic interest and would opt for alternatives with lower associated externalities (Pieper et al. 2020). There previously has been some scientific engagement in the topic of TCA within the assessment of foodstuff. Sandhu et al. (2021), for example, present a framework for a TCA along with farm sustainability metrics. Pieper et al. (2020) calculate external climate costs of different foods while Michalke et al. (2021) assess true food costs based on full life cycle analyses (LCA). Hentschl et al. (2021) specifically look at associated climate and biodiversity costs from land-use change caused by animal-based products. Scientists have recently posed accounting for externalities as one major approach to tackle the biodiversity and climate crisis (Bradshaw et al. 2021) and major organizations, like the Rockefeller Foundation, are engaging in this scientific discourse (Gemmill-Herren et al. 2021). Evidently, a focus on the calculation of such costs is identifiable in current TCA-related research. However, the consideration of consumers when aiming to implement such pricing tools into the market is deficient.
The three experts collectively agree that public campaigns signify great potential towards raising awareness for negative externalities as they utilize TCA as a method to transparently communicate ecological damage to the general public. The Eosta representative (EO) highlights the need for a mindshift and raised levels of awareness of the current unsustainability in agri-food networks as fundamental to introducing TCA as an accepted accounting practice. Truesday Coffee (TD) suggests complementation knowledge-focused measures with tangible offers to take immediate action. This ties in with the statements of two participants who suggested that consumers should indeed have the opportunity to pay the true price voluntarily. TCAs methodological strength lies in addressing these crucial challenges through the holistic integration of people and planet, and thus holds great potential in improving the currently unsustainable agri-food networks (SI, EO, TD).
Another focus of the study was to explore potential changes in consumption behavior. As described, participants had already been informed about the general methodology of TCA for food and the underlying calculation base (cf. 3.3). Therefore, a general understanding of why prices would be higher with TCA could be attested when inquiring about potential consumption changes. To measure the possible effects of true pricing on consumer behavior, questions focused on changes in consumption of organic and animal-based products.
Luckily for anyone intrigued by German spy thrillers, Sundance TV is bringing back one of its hit international programs, but this time under a slightly different name. It doesn't appear that Deutschland 86 is a true story in terms of its specific characters, but it does frame itself within a historical context, and peppers in details from real-life events during the Cold War.
Heard a lot of good and bad stories about Germany. And to be honest, there were more negative stories (e.g. racism, xenophobia, Germans dont know how to have fun, etc.) than positive ones. I know that stereotypes aren't always true. But I'd like to hear from Germans themselves about it....
A true German would have ordered "three" with the index, middle finger, and thumb extended. This is the common way that most Western Europeans (such as Germans, Austrians, Belgians, Italians, the Swiss, the Spanish, the Dutch, the Portuguese, the French, and Scandinavians) count with their fingers, and it also extends to how they order drinks, according to a 2009 study from the University of Alberta-Augustana.

It is true that Germany had fewer than 600,000 Jews when Hitler came to power in 1933. The majority of Jews murdered by the Nazis, however, did not live in Germany. They resided in the countries which Germany invaded during the war, especially Poland and areas of the former Soviet Union, where millions of Jews once made their homes. In fact, the Protocol of the Wannsee Conference (Jan. 20, 1942) a German document outlining the Nazi plan to annihilate European Jewry, lists over 11 million Jews throughout the continent.
The 6 million figure can be demonstrated by comparing Europe's Jewish population before and after the war. Even after making allowances for those who fled Europe and others who could be expected to die due to natural causes, there are nearly 6,000,000 people who cannot be accounted for.
Authentic German documents confirm the slaughter of Jews in the millions. The famous "Korherr Report" (named after Richard Korherr, chief statistician for the SS) puts the number of Jewish losses at more than 2,454,000 by the end of 1942 alone. The war in Europe would not end until May, 1945.
The Anglo-American Commission of Enquiry, meeting in April 1946, put the total Jewish Holocaust losses at 5,721,500. On the basis of wartime statistical reports on ghettos, concentration camps and mass murder operations carried out by the Nazis, historian and international jurist, Jacob Robinson, arrived at a figure of 5,820,960. German historian, Helmut Krausnick, put the number of Jewish losses nearer to seven million. While the exact figure will never be known, scholars of the Holocaust find the rounded-off figure of six million to be in line with all the evidence.

This is true. Hitler was not about to repeat the mistake he had made earlier when he initialed his "euthanasia order," condemning over 70,000 German mental patients to death at so-called "charitable care facilities" such as Hadamar and Grafineck. (Ironically, the first victims of Nazi gassings were actually non-Jewish Germans). Popular protest which threatened his popularity, eventually forced Hitler to abandon his euthanasia experiment, or at least take it underground. Never again would Hitler initial any document connecting himself to mass killings.
Nevertheless, historians have been able to establish with convincing certainty that the order to exterminate millions of Jews came directly from Hitler. On November 10, 1941, Higher SS and police leader, Friedrich Jeckeln, received orders to liquidate the Jewish population of Riga. He was informed by his superior, Hinrich Lohse, that it was "the Fuehrer's wish."
A few months earlier, Gestapo Chief, Heinrich Mueller, sent a message to the commanders of the 4 Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing squads active in Eastern Europe) advising them that "the Fuehrer was to be informed about the work of the Einsatzgruppen on a continual basis."
Discussing the liquidation of Jews in Eastern Europe, SS Chief, Heinrich Himmler, told SS Gruppenfuehrer, Gottlob Berger, "the occupied East will be freed of Jews. The Fuehrer has placed the execution of this difficult order on my shoulders."
Hitler's involvement in the "Final Solution" extended to gassing operations. On October 25, 1941 a directive addressed to Hinrich Lohse regarding the use of special "gassing vans", came by way of German judge, Dr. Erhard Wetzel. Wetzel had been summoned to the Chancellery and informed that the directive he was to prepare was, in fact, a "Fuehrer order."
On February 4, 1943, Hitler equated the extermination of the Jews with having "exterminated a bacterium." In his January 30 speech to the Reichstag 4 years earlier, Hitler warned that in the event of war, "the result will be...the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!"
Those who argue that Hitler did not order, approve, or even know about the wanton murder of millions of Jews and others during the Holocaust, do so in direct contradiction of all the evidence.

The figure of 3-4 million murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau was an invention of communist officials in Poland (and the former U.S.S.R.) which sought to blur the uniqueness of Jewish suffering at Auschwitz. To do this, they purposely overstated the number of non-Jewish casualties at Auschwitz-Birkenau by many times their true numbers. In a clever attempt to disguise the subterfuge, the figures for Jewish losses were inflated by nearly double, so that their losses would still be larger than those of non-Jewish victims, though now by a much smaller ratio. With the end of communism in Poland and the former Soviet Union, officials at the Auschwitz museum finally lowered the casualty figures in line with the estimates of historians who, for years, have insisted that between one and 1 1/2 million people perished at Auschwitz-Birkenau, 80 - 90% of them Jews.
The figure of 6 million Jewish losses during the Holocaust has always been in line with the lower Auschwitz figures.
