I don't know man, Germans never been known to posses much humour, but lately the no-fun-allowed mentality is really getting steam again. I think people feel oppressed or perspective-less, so they divert their anger into a zealous notion, and want to restrict and regulate for what is perceived as a righteous cause. There's so much ill will directed at all kinds of people currently, people traveling abroad, stadium visitors, youth gathering in parks. Not the same topic, but again, quick to condemn any kind of enjoyment without being reasonable.
Besides, I think it would self-sabotage their own automotive industry (which is the biggest part of Germans GDP). That 2 MT isn't gonna do anything, but the Autobahn is pretty much the only place that warrants buying nice expensive German cars (and for a lot of people cars become a huge motivation). So with a tempo limit it all kinda seems a bit pointless.
- freemint 5y agoAs a German younger than 25 i would certainly like to buy a nice German car in the future. However what i find nice differs from "car go fast", "car makes load brum" or "car seats has female baby cow leather". I would like to see the German engineering focus more on utilitarian cars instead of "Top Gear worthy cars". A speed limit will help encourage the industry to find other areas to focus more on.
