      In Germany, there are truly many vacancies in some areas. For instance, there are around 35k open vacancies for nurses and this number is expected to grow to around 150k in the coming years as the baby boom generation is getting older. Most Germans just don’t like the prospect of working irregular hours and wiping elderly patients’ butts, even though wages and secondary conditions are improving for nurses.

    Here’s a play from fascist playbook. Demonize immigrants then invite them. Because the more hostile a fascist country is against immigrant, the easier it will be to underpay them. And for a good measure, fuck up global economies with war and destruction.

    This is the same play book. In USA, maga demonizes then democrats invite, in Germany afd demonizes and other invite, in Pakistan the government demonizes afghans, and then bomb their infrastructure so they stay in Pakistan.
