DP,
I can tell you from my experiences in Bavaria; that the refugees are being quickly put to work. Those that refuse to work are being deported. It’s not happening anywhere near as fast as it should, but within a year or so the situation will return to normal.
I spend about 1/2 my time in and around Munich and have for some 30 years.
It’s important to understand Germany has a severe labor shortage and a massive budget surplus. Hundreds of thousands of great paying job openings do not have applicants ! The refugees are filling some of these open positions.
yes the refugees are consuming zillions, but the Germans have enough socked away that it doesn’t matter that much.
one should note in Bavaria there is a well organized official militia that reaches into every hamlet. It’s mainly a bunch of old chubby farts playing soldier in funny costumes lugging bolt action rifles around kinda drunk, but these guys form the basis of some tight knit social circles and don’t let outsiders cause trouble.
Bavaria cops tend to be friendly and chummy in a Andy Griffin way. Their back up is decidedly unfriendly and scary.
I have no idea what it’s like in the north of Germany.
Wow. Thanks man. Very interesting.
That’s good to hear. thanks.
