If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Perhaps I need to make improvements to the text. Sometimes you've been around for so long that you forget what confuses people.
- CogitoCogito 4y agoJudging by that link I guess they changed it to everyone pays instead of just those with TVs? When I lived in Berlin twenty years ago, I remember TV tax enforcers would go door to door to try to find people with TVs without paying the tax. The advice I was given by Berliners was basically never to talk to random strangers coming to the door...not surprised they would change the system.
- pantalaimon 4y agoYes they changed it because they now also stream their program on the internet (well, parts of it…) so you don't need a TV anymore to receive it.
- quirk 4y agoTotally fascinating. Thank you!
