Using the DB app is really helpful to me. All delays are near real-time. It makes using public transport so much easier. Now the German ticketing machine, please fix that so it includes the stops instead of just end points.

It’s just the way they talk because it becomes normal for them. One of my friends candidly said I should be friends with a person in a conversation, the persons writing made the news. Those two were friends, but the writer also happened to

Yes. Heard of this too, wasn’t top of mind since I don’t have any nurses as friends. To a lesser extent, there are some government jobs that gives options for 10hr work days so a person works 4 days per week. Shifting the day off for Monday

Fixes are obvious, implementing it is the hard part. The propaganda for everyone to get a college degree is ingrained into the system. This sprouted countless for profit colleges charging obscene rates of $20k-$30k per year. Another obvious
