Had a call with REWE's HR today. Nice people. They complained about the energy emergency and rising prices. They felt its Germans' duty to sacrifice for Ukraine.

They do not sympathise with blue collars who make ~20% of the salary of these management types, but are responsible for growing, building and transporting everything they sell.

I wonder about their sympathy for people far away based on News media, yet ignorance to the pain of those next to them.

Its sad, and I am glad I do not live there anymore.
