Of course Bavaria. Everyone one else in Europe is thinking about moving away from US companies but Bavaria is killing of OSS initatives to move to the MS cloud...
Bavaria, the Texas of Europe
It really is. Nürnberg, München and Starnberger See are lovely though. Possibly other places too. But there's simply too much old money trying to cling to the status quo and not let go.
"giving a shit" means "caring about", I think you meant the opposite
Yeah in German, the phrase (einen Scheiß geben) means the opposite.
"drauf" fehlt noch :-)
Probably wanted to say "shits on"
One would think that the former GDR would be doing this instead.
Well, it's obvious from your condescending and insulting tone that you're completely right and I'm completely wrong, so there's no use pretending that it would be in any way valuable for me to present an 'explanation'.
Their tone might have been a bit sarcastic, but was neither condescending nor insulting.
I for one would like to know why GDR would be more likely than other parts of Germany to adopt these policies.
I think it all boils down to saying "GDR is the antipode to progressive politics". Which, to me (a huge ignorant on GDR politics) is a rephrasing of "communism=bad".
Thankfully I can distinguish between communism, authoritarianism, progressivism, conservatism, and whatnot. But, for some reason, the former-GDR lands consistently align with conservative policies.
Not only to Munich, but LITERALLY! around the corner of the CSU headquarters: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_car&route=48.1780765%2C11.5938809%3B48.177162%2C11.5908394#map=19%2F48.177770%2F11.592011
Yes, but irrelevant here. Their former HQ in Germany was just outside Munich in Unterschleißheim, well within Bavaria.
Lobbyists.
That's the USA terminology, in Europe it is called corruption.
You would think so. But in Germany they are also called lobbyists.
Well yes because lobbying is an actual part of getting the message out to representatives. You're advocating for them to do something. In itself there's nothing wrong with lobbying but people just always associate it with quod pro quo corruption shit.
Well, they are often involved or are around such deals, but the difference is that in USA the quid pro quo is perfectly legal & money can be exchanged openly (which is still corruption, but not legally so).
And no one gives a fuck about it! How can this obvious corruption be tolerated?
But we have been getting screwed over from day 1
Exactly.
So the only viable strategy (for system that's screwing us over) is to make the people believe that "there is no alternative" to neoliberalism.
Bavaria has rarely shown smart political decisions in the last decades.
Kind of just did the worst move possible at every point since Bismarck showed up with a fun idea
The amount of hate i have for Söder could power a little village
Just not a Bavarian village. Renewable energy is too woke.
@GandalftheBlack and the hate/exasperation at Söder has auto-renewal guaranteed.
He is such a moron.
Most have them
Einstein's quote about infinite stupidity comes to mind....
The stupid ones are the people who keep voting for this party, though. Have a Hitler quote for that: "How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think." (apparently meant without sarcasm)
The politicians are just self-serving assholes.

This seems unwise.
Söder is not wise
Bye everyone I'm getting uploaded to the cloud apparently
Tschuss!
If you were a criminal convicted of espionage, then good luck to you for finding a job, especially in government. But if you're called Microsoft, then it's alright.
Like you know that the kid surely will hit the only lamp post on the whole parking ground while learning to ride the bicycle you know what happens when Markus Söder is in charge.
Of course Bavaria would.
Germany should just abandon that state (and Saxony where all the Nazis are). Together, they are the bane of Germany. One holding it back and the other wanting to make Putin their savior.
Divide Germany you say? I feel like that's been done before
A high enough wall surrounding those two states, maybe including Thuringia (Nazis) and Saxony-Anhalt (also Nazis) would be a good first step...
Some of us still have relatives there who are not Nazis.
They have time to get out.
I rather move the Nazis to Saxony.
We could send all the Nazis to their own island.
I guess that explains why there was a dude wearing a literal fucking Hitler mask at sachsonring this year....

Nochmal Bayern!

Wrong direction ↪️
Must be good beer.
Friends don't let friends get Microsoft software when they're drunk.
Bavaria has always been the special kid among the German federal states
