Don't forget the mandatory windows. LOL Honestly, if I recall correctly German workplaces are required to have a certain number of windows depending on the size of the workplace.

Personal hygiene is less than what is considered normal in the USA, so the window thing may be considered mandatory.

OTOH,when I lived in Germany 20 years ago mol, the average villagers were meticulous about cleanliness for their homes and property.They swept the sidewalks and even the streets in front of their homes, and locals even raked their surrounding "forests".

I haven't been back since then, and that was long before the wall came down.I see a taste of things to come in this country, but since I live in a "right to work" state,Florida, possibly we will have less problems overall than "liberal" union states.

But I still refuse to buy anything from Germany untill they prove their status as a true ally.I miss the beer.....
