Far right idiots
Germany: Risk of (nuclear) war, reversion to digital quasi-feudal economic structures, far-right politics, etc.
Denmark… I don’t think we have a lot of serious national problems. Our main problem seems to be climate change, a global issue, and our allies in the US having lost their marbles.
Correct answer for basically every country: far-right extremists and the hardcore neoliberal capitalist right (that will happily cooperate with the former if given the chance)… constantly pushed by bad foreign (to destabilise democracies) and domestic (to enrich themselves at the expense of democracy) actors(*).
(*): bonus points for US tech bros often matching both categories
From Finland. So, the answer is extremely easy to answer: Our eastern neighbour having turned fascist and their Ruler having declared they want to make my country part of said neighbour.
People… What a bunch of bastards.
Germany: Domestic rightwingers are trying to dismantle everything we have achieved since after WW2, supported by foreign dictators.
Netherlands: successive governments have been putting off actually addressing issues causing them to become a pile of confounding crises, such as nitrogen emissions and housing, which complicates migration, etc.
Why solve issues when you can double it and give it to the next cabinet?
I think that the biggest problem is the lack of long term thinking and planning. The polarization in politics doesn’t help - every party is trying to say that it is different from the other one so even in the stuff like defense policy is so fractured across the spectrum.
Switzerland:
- The french have brought the banlieu problem to lausanne
- Trumps tarriffs (40%)
Also the new trams have a SOS button exactly where the door-open-button on the old version was.
Imagine living in a city that isn’t walkable (this post was made in lucerne) (I’m only jealous we have buses and not trams)
It’s really nice here. Most of the tram stops have the markings for where the disabled-friendly section of the tram will stop (and it’s usually accurate, also on the newer models it doesn’t matter because they all have level access). You have the white stripes for the blind people, as well. Also during work/school hours the interval is 3.5 minutes. You can’t miss a tram because the next one is already around the corner.
Basel here.
Basel here
So happy I didn’t just write “Muesch halt ned in Züri läbe” ;P
Yeah, it’s about the same here in Luzern, except it’s Buses not Trams.
I mean, tbh, with the amount of “Oberleitige” we have, we practically have a tram system already. I wish we would just make it officially. We already had trams, just bring them back please (the ones that are powered through the rails, not Oberleitige). I absolutely hate the cables hanging over the city and think they destroy its picture.
(Though a big advantage: I didn’t have to dodge Trams on my driving exam lol. To this day I still get nervous when driving in cities with trams.)
Germany: The nuclear showdown with China and Russia is an accepted path to continue western domination. As a counter measure, the military bases with nuclear weapons will be hit with nuclear weapons.
Without that, we don’t prepare for China taking over technological leadership which makes all German and European products second class. The trade advantages will melt which will destroy the economic surplus that is financing everything.
