EU shoots for €10B ‘industrial cloud’ to rival US

What afraids me is, that here in Germany nobody seems to care anymore. The big numbers are just thrown around and everyone (especially the younger generation) has lost any sense as the media is just cheering along.

I wish I could upvote you more.

This is what I noticed in Germany as well. The government keeps tooting their own horn on how in every statistic they're the best in Europe and the media parrots that while the younger generations just takes it for granted and doesn't bother questioning the poor decisions the government makes while they spend the public tax money like drunken sailors because hey, "we're Europe's no. 1, what could our government ever do wrong?"

I agree that the waste of taxpayer money in Germany is beyond comprehension (while they do take utmost care when it comes to taxing you) and as a young German myself I also agree that many young people just don't question the media, if they get involved in politics at all. But I also know many who do and they've mostly just given up on the country. Because emigration aside, what are you going to do?

I had a discussion recently, and I think generally in Germany politicians are considered incompetent instead of corrupt. Like in cross border leasing/ public private partnership etc.

That requires a majority. Of course you should vote, but the question is whether it's realistic, given that as we mentioned most people don't seem to care much.

Then they spend a few days refreshing a webpage to get an appointment to register a vehicle, three weeks from now.
