@Maximilian01 Yes, modern. Compare German electrics with electrics abroad; France is enough, you don't need to see 110V networks in the USA. Overall, craftsmanship/engineering is very modern here, we are simply complaining at a high level.
Yes, our pension system is not great, but at least we have a pension system.
Our healthcare system is great. In some countries in Eastern Europe, you can't get very far without bribes.
I'm not saying we're the best everywhere, but overall we're a very modern country where you can live really well.

@Maximilian01 Holy cow, that's wrong on so many levels, where do I start?
So "just put a voltage transformer in front" is probably this problematic education system you're talking about. I hope you realize that more volts don't just come out of thin air, but are bought with more amps and how much A do you want to shoot through the cables? That doesn't change the overall calculation, i.e. how much power a phase delivers. What's more, the American power grid is completely dilapidated compared to ours and power outages occur more frequently.
Yes, our electricity is expensive, but this has nothing to do with the shutdown of nuclear power plants and everything to do with the way the price of electricity is calculated. In France, for example, electricity is much cheaper simply because it is heavily subsidized. Nuclear power plants don't have a problem with safety, they have a problem with final disposal. As long as nobody wants the nuclear waste, it should simply not be produced. Nuclear power plants are expensive to build and maintain, but thanks to subsidies, their operation is subsidized. The bottom line is that other types of energy generation are much cheaper. In the USA they just frack until they drop, screw nature. To be honest, I would like my children to grow up in uncontaminated nature.
It is clear that our pension system is not optimal, but to come up with the argument that a pure 401K would be better for high earners shows an absolutely asocial attitude. Our education system also needs reform, but excluding coronavirus effects, we are relatively stable according to PISA, i.e. not "getting worse and worse".
You can see a doctor for free, go to hospital almost free of charge and get cheap medication. My last call to the emergency doctor was €5, in the USA it's several hundred dollars for an ambulance call. A little joke on the side, you don't get Ibus, you have to pay for it yourself. I paid an insane 2€ for my last pack, wow.
These "many" Yugoslavians who have their teeth done back home, do you have a source other than "Trust me, bro"? The same goes for the "many" pensioners. Besides, you can't just compare our wage level with the cost of living there. I could live like a king in Thailand on my salary, but you can't compare apples and oranges.
Raising the property tax was another one of those things. Honestly, who cares, it's so cheap here that the few euros hardly make a difference.

@devnerd_daddy reliable - look at DB crumbling, modern ah yes faxes are the most modern thing in21st century, meanwhile your own chancellor is not so sure about Internet, social , lmaof, Germans themselves know they are known to be anti social, safe - for now yes thanks to NATO and US . But how good is it to be dependent on outside powers for your safety.
I can tell you that you have never travelled much outside DACH bubble coz the rest of the world is way way more modern than Germany which still feels stuck somewhere in 1990s

@reach2ashish now that is a lot of bollocks. Germans are anti social? Where did you get that from?
And hey, let’s get practical. Please name these many much more modern, safer, more social countries that apparently also have a military that strong, they don’t need anyone else. I’m really eager to learn.
