The funniest argument and the reason I share this is that since the utilities company that provides the tram service has a ratified goal of becoming CO2-Neutral eventually, they've elected to not buy ACs since they'd consume about 7 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year and ACs aren't sustainable. I assume the 50°C tram is gonna be a big hit as per transportation in the upcoming summers.

Germany needs recognizing East Germany central planning was the best model to be followed after reunification. It is the most rational system.

Politicians under neolibetalism do not use public transport so they dont give a fuc% to plebes.

No uh, it was a 1986 orwellian authoritarian stasi tankie commie state capitalist regime that was democratically dismantled fair and square and definitely not annexed. Free market neoliberalism might be insufficient in guaranteeing basic necessities for most of the population despite overproduction and directly lead to the extinction of our species but it's the best system that could ever be conceived in the history of mankind. Now continue to consume and not question the narrative too much, otherwise we might have to revoke your free speech rights and ruin your life.
