The German state doesn't recognise Palestine as a state currently, so probably not.
Only a few countries west of the former Iron Curtain recognise Palestine (Iceland and Sweden, and as of this year Norway, Ireland, and Spain)

I guess it wasn't explicitly stated anywhere that the two systems were supposed to be different from each other. /s

Sometimes people do need a car, and if they do I would prefer it to be a small little thing like this rather than something larger.
These kinds of car are quite popular in Amsterdam, for instance

In the end it's not about your absolute wage, it's about buying power.
If you can buy the same of more with your wage, your quality of life is going up.

The comparison to US dollars is probably skewing the picture somewhat (since the US dollar is quite strong right now), but I find it hard to believe that an eight-fold decrease in value doesn't negatively affect buying power.

It looks like this would be a monthly figure. Based on this source minimum wage currently sits at 30.000 Naira ($22,45) /month.
From what I understand it is higher than what it was set at in the 80s, but the value of the Naira did drop quite a bit over time (when compared to the US dollar)

According to this website the 1981 wage would have been equivalent to $204, while the 2024 wage is equivalent to $24

Guess I'll be contacting my MEPs, and looking into which MEPs support and oppose this plan.
Though I am glad to see my country at least has stated it finds the proposal unacceptable.

What the hell man.. The guy is just sharing his view on what OP asked..
Just because you disagree with the guy doesn't mean you need to wish cancer upon him.

Have some decency for crying out loud.

Isn't blackcurrant illegal in the US? I remember hearing that somewhere anyway.
Such a shame, cassis (blackcurrant soda) makes for such a tasty drink.

According to Cornald Maas (the Dutch commentator for the Eurovision) the "threatening motion", as far as he is aware, was Joost pushing down the camera/phone, after asking not to be filmed.

Don't take this joke too seriously. It's just a little thing I thought of making after seeing the picture used by the NOS in this article about Tata Steel emissions:

With Reddit closing API access to 3rd party apps, I thought this'd be a good time to cross-post some of my older Reddit posts.
