    What a strange sentiment in the comments. If anyone underestimates the gravity of the situation, it’s people who call for cutting all ties with the US immediately. Trying to stay on good terms with the US while becoming more independent ASAP is basically the only option we have at all.

      I think it’s more of a general sentiment against Merz. He pushes for longer work days, fewer public holidays, later retirement, “incentives” for people to still work part-time during retirement, fewer protections for workers overall and worse social security. The guy is massively unpopular so nobody trusts that these statements come from any sensible reasoning.
