Normally I respect Der Spiegel, but they recently put out a "Wir Krisenkinder" issue recently (translated to something like "We, the children of the crisis") and then puts out a special edition... In my mind I imagine the special edition being in response to poor little krisenkinders shelling out the cover price to read about their own horrible plight. Makes sense... Look how thin they are!:

This sort of pandering to obvious bat guano kind of makes my skin crawl. Germany is one of the top world economies and their quality/standard of living is one of the highest on planet earth, so having an issue which clearly panders to their effing plight is simply absurd. Oh, you poor verwöhnte little shits, you don't get your comfy cozy job after studying until you are 26 years old. You have lived a quarter century, consuming resources all along and have yet to contribute almost nothing to balance out the resources required to keep you alive, eating and shitting and downloading. Seriously? wow. So, my point: Dear Spiegel, re-adjust your bullshit-tinted goggles, and think about all this for a second.
P.S. Oh, and I'm currently jobless (also a direct result of the "krise" and I'm really happy being unemployed. The "KRISE" is an opportunity to dissolve the dumb work-life ideas leftover from / as a result of the 20th century post-war period. The possibility of living a non-stagnant life now presents itself. This is a blessing: Death to the office. Death to the work week. Death to spending more time with your co-workers than your loved ones. Move on, people...
