Wait till that dude needs ground support!
As stupid as this sounds, eventually someone is going to suggest letting grocery stores be open on Sunday and this will usher in what German historians call “Der Modern Age”. There will be a domino effect… Rathaus will get Internet, Doctors will forgo fax for email and Aldi will finally bring Trader Joe’s to the motherland. We will slowly creep into the 21st century. One pointless rule at a time.
This stupid speed limit thing will be remembered as the catalyst of progress in the race to catch up to their neighbors.

Queue up the: “I’m entitled to a peaceful Sunday” folks.
I figured this would be about the summer temperatures finally arriving. Moved to Germany from San Diego years ago and it’s comedy to watch them panic once it hits 85f. Parks empty, streets empty (save for ice cream stands, which practically print their own money). Germany, steadfastly refusing to acknowledge air conditioners have existed for 7 decades.
It’s as if… wait for it… they are made of sugar!
