One of the curious things that I've been watching as I live here in Germany is some of the differences and some of the similarities between the two countries, USA and Germany. Now I've been in Germany for fifteen years now and I can tell you there's a few things about the two different countries that are significantly different versus some things that are very similar. The difference in them, significant one is if you don't have a job. In some states in the USA, you can get benefits for unemployment for I think some places six months, other places a year, some places even more maybe. But on the whole, the unemployment benefit system in the United States is not very good. Even though it has unemployment benefits, they don't last for very long. Now in Germany they have two different forms as I mentioned in another post. there's the first year or of unemployment I believe or no, maybe it's one month or two months, maybe even three, but then after that you go into long term unemployment if necessary and that doesn't actually stop until recently. due to the changes between the politics and the financial strength of Germany, which is seriously going downhill now, there are strong differences that were in place maybe five years ago, which no longer exist or are a serious threat of being stopped. One of the things that has been a term used a number of different places online and through different people is military, which means that Germany has become more militant in how it allows its unemployment benefits to be used. And this is actually going severely against people of all walks of life. One of the curiosity factors here is now that Germany and USA share together is for jobs. And one of the significant ones which I personally had experience in is in the United States back in the day, as far as I remember, if you wanted to go get a job, let's say driving a truck or a bus or some other type of license thing, you could just go practice, like on your motorcycle or a bus or something until you know how to do it, and then you could go and try to get the license if you're good enough. Nowadays in the United States, it's no longer possible. Apparently now even if you know how to do it, you still have to go through a school to prove that you can do it, and then you can apply for the license itself, which is the same thing that's been around in Germany for quite some time. You have to go through a school and then you can get the license. Same thing, two different countries. In some people's eyes perhaps that's a good thing, but back in the day, I personally think it was a little bit better if you knew what you were doing and you were a natural at it, you could get a license. But these days it's the no trust system in both countries. Thanks for reading.
