Is it just me, or do “Germany” and “socialism” not belong in the same sentence? Frankly, socialism doesn’t belong anywhere except an encyclopedia, to serve as an example of an “idiot plot” (along with communism).

Yet, it seems like if history were any consideration, Germany would make a concerted effort to distance itself from the political ideology—but alas, too many in this “information age” don’t really know much about anything. (In George Santayana’s purported words, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”)
Here’s the story, from John Cody at Remix News yesterday:
New data revealing that barely any Ukrainian refugees are actually working in Germany has the left-liberal government struggling to explain the failure, despite promises from the government that this refugee group would help fill in for the country’s declining labor pool.
For context, that number is “fewer than two out of ten” or less than one-in-five; considering the figures, Cody puts that number into the “hundreds of thousands.”
But why? Also, from Cody:
Germany’s generous social benefits [emphasis added] for the unemployed continue to discourage a range of groups from entering the workforce, as it is often more profitable to remain unemployed. Some of these groups also collect unemployment money and work on the black market, which allows them to exploit the German taxpayer while earning additional disposable income.

It seems to me that if you’re an able-bodied refugee you should have to work at *something* even if it’s just sweeping the streets.
Just like our Zeepers.
So they handed foreigners the SAME unemployment benefits as citizens get? Insane.
Twisted toxic incentives... because German ‘elties’ are just as stupid as our ‘elites’...
My guess would have been that most refugees who flee the fighting in a country being invaded would be the women and children and elderly.
“The vast majority of adult Ukrainian refugees are women (80%). Many of these women (77%) fled to Germany without a partner, 48% with minor children, and 12% with a partner and minor children.”
I have that experience in Canada. I routinely work two jobs, but the way the tax structure is, I get about 20% of my second job pay.
Wait’ll the Ukie malingerers in Germany get a load of the Deutschy-boy press gangs, rounding them up for the slaughter back in the mother country.
Berlin-Freeper has been missing of late.

So, 2 1/2 years old quote, and from an academic entity, not a direct government entity. The Sozio-oekonomisches Panel is a part of the Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung, "The legal status of DIW Berlin is that of a registered association." I sed to walk be them on Mohrenstraße, in Berlin.
Yes, but context means nothing to Vlad’s invasion fanboys.
There are lots of links showing what common sense would tells us about the refugee demographics sent out of the country being invaded while the nation fights.

Here is another from wikipedia on Ukrainian refugees, they use “90% of Ukrainian refugees are women and children”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_refugee_crisis_(2022%E2%80%93present)#:~:text=90%25%20of%20Ukrainian%20refugees%20are,banned%20from%20leaving%20the%20country.
Yep. Kind of refreshing to see white people milking the system.
Makes me much less inclined to be racist, as a firm reminder that crap people come in all colors.
I read the links very carefully and they don’t support your comment. Do you have anything else?
It’s 78% women and children.
