I sympathise with the rail workers, annoying as their actions are to my daily routine, and I do think that Germany should just borrow more like other countries to keep their core worker base happy....
... but my sympathy for the farmers goes only so far. In my region, most of them are land owners, and most of them are landlords getting very pretty rents. No other class of worker has it so good except other landlords.
- Log_out_ 3y agoHave you looked at the laws lately? Many farmers are no longer allowed to sell any land by law except through a price defining local authority , which reduces the value. At the same time many are deep in debt using the land as collateral. You can take everything from someone with some law constellations. So I would not envy what is basically the banks janitor for land.
- tetris11 3y agoI haven't, just felt the loopholes in the law twice now; as farmers rented out a large apartment to us, promised us that we could stay there for however long we wanted, used the money to improve the value of the house, and then 1-2 years later gave us the Kündigung due to "eigenbedarf" (read: they want to sell the now lavish house)
