Germany becoming increasingly hostile

According to the german news paper Berliner Morgenpost, Germany is turning into an increasingly hostile place. The paper analyzed the movements of the german population since the year 2001 as well as tourism statistics and immigration.

The result can easily be summarized: Germany is losing a lot of citizens – mainly young citizens – to more attractive neighboring countries, such as Switzerland and Austria. At the same time, immigration is in a continuing decline.

The paper fails to come up with possible reasons for this trend. The most significant reason is probably the increasingly bad situation of average people in the country. During the last couple of years, the unemployment has risen significantly while at the same time the unemployment insurance returns have been cut drastically. Also, a lot of bullying has been introduced to further reduce the life quality of unemployed. The tax laws are horribly complicated, and the taxes hardly increase for people who earn more money. Also, the average income has been greatly reduced, causing neighboring countries to consider Germany a low-wage labor market.

Even worse, the quality of the educative system has dropped dramatically. This did not prevent the universities though from introducing studying fees that are well above even the average in Switzerland. At the same time, the number of professors is still not high enough to allow them to take care of students individually, contributing to the bad impression.

To summarize it, it appars to be pretty hard to find a reason not to leave Germany...
