It&amp;#x27;s not a bad idea to spend even few more, to stop prospects of next world war&amp;#x2F;cold war and stop a madman who openly wants to rebuilt one of the most evil empires in the history.</text></comment>

This shit is funny when you&amp;#x27;re in the valley and you have 6000 in pocket money to burn on stuff, but in Europe that means some peoples monthly rental expenses doubled.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s actually an existential threat for a lot of people. The German leadership just like the USA is so far detached from the normal population that they won&amp;#x27;t care, and the normal population in Germany isn&amp;#x27;t like in the middle east, so they will likely take it with some complaints.&lt;p&gt;But since you can&amp;#x27;t easily get loans like in the US in Germany I wonder what that will mean for people that can no longer afford their bills though. I&amp;#x27;ve seen people being taken to jail in Germany for unpaid 20 Euro bills or not paying public transit.</text></comment>
