Merz’s coalition must persuade younger generations to surrender more of their free time to support Europe’s largest economy

The coalition between Merz’s centre-right Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democrats have, in their treaty which defines the political agenda until the next election, committed to incentives to persuade Germans to increase their working hours, and to delay retirement.

    The future can and should be about getting better! That means more efficient, that means more money for more people for less work, that means less hours spent working.

    Merz and conservatives want a worse future for you and your family and your kids. They want to enrich themselves and their friends while asking you to work yourself to death. Don’t vote against your self-interests, don’t vote in the AfD or those that inevitably bring them to power like the CDU.

    Vote for progress, vote progressives.

      Sorry, my people are stupid as a rock and voted after 4 years of progress where they fixed the stuff the conservatives neglected again for the dumbfucks.

      They’ve blamed all their failings on the progressive government, and succeeded in it.

      I’m speechless how one can have such bad memory
