[@Mister__Jey]

Southern Germany Clubs in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg and maybe Rhineland-Palatinate are definitely nice, but crime has really increased enormously. Above all, thanks to dear Angela Merkel with her great refugee crisis from 2015, we have taken in three million new refugees in this country. Although there are only 80 million inhabitants. That makes a big difference and you can see that now. Most of the big German cities in Germany, the Germans are in the minority or the people who are German or have German ancestors are in the minority and the people who are foreigners are refugees or have a migration background make up 60% or 70% of the population in some cities like e.g. Frankfurt. Mercedes must be great, but the everyday business of groceries, supermarkets, internet connection or providers, i.e. all things of daily use, is absolutely catastrophic. Energy prices are catastrophically high, food prices, inflation. And since the EM also in the ever-increasing crime. And being a stranger in your own country actually describes it best. It was really nice in 1990 or maybe still in the 2000s, but Germany hasn't been the way it used to be for ten years at the latest, and will never really recover from the Merkel government.
