If there’s nothing else, Germany can complain about Deutsche Bahn! I have a long commute to work (my employer ist sehr schlect in some ways), so I’ve spent many months playing “will it, won’t it” on RE train delays. I even had one vanish on the app after it claimed to pass through my station. Geistbahn!
The dumb part is that I started visiting Germany back in 1995. The trains ran much better. Nich so viel Störungen oder unregelmaßig dingen. Good memories only cover over so many cracks, though.
It’ll only take about 20 years of big investment to rebuild the train network after so many decades of underinvestment by conservative governments. No worries, any day now.

In comparison to that dystopian shit hole USA? Yes we are. Totally.
In comparison with an ideal nation? No, not even close.

What ideal nation would that be?

Oh, no actual one. Just this Utopian place in my vision where people are nice to each other and everyone is cared for and unproductive shit like this.
Nations are all way too complex to assess them for me, not actually living there. But I would pick the Netherlands or Denmark/Norway/Iceland if I had to choose.
