I'm a technical writer in Germany and currently there seem to be about 5 remote job postings in this field (for German software companies). Obviously developers will have more opportunities, but this number is still indicative of how far Germany is behind in remote culture compared to the US. Also generally the remote positions don't seem to be listed as being accessible to all EU citizens, since they are usually looking for someone who speaks German on a native level. So the idea of a supra-national pool of European job postings does not seem to be quite a reality yet, though again it's probably a better situation for developers.

Don't even get me started. The stubbornness on that matter of many business owners in Berlin + the apartment market in Berlin, makes a good script for a shocking documentary.
Would be really interesting to see explanations for this. I have a hard time believing that Twitter was consciously suppressing republican follower counts and inflating democratic ones, but I wonder if it could be something related to a sudden change in how they detect and ban bots, where bots happen to be used much more heavily by one political side than the other.
"If you’re to do anything reasonable in this world, you must have a class of people who are secure, safe from public opinion, safe from poverty, leisured, not compelled to waste their time in the imbecile routines that go by the name of Honest Work. You must have a class of which the members can think and, within the obvious limits, do what they please. You must have a class in which people who have eccentricities can indulge them and in which eccentricity in general will be tolerated and understood. That’s the important thing about an aristocracy. Not only is it eccentric itself—often grandiosely so; it also tolerates and even encourages eccentricity in others." - Aldous Huxley
An aristocrat believes that you need a specialised social class to do the thinking and deciding while the great mass of people do the "doing as they're told" part. Quelle surprise :)
So the deleted video contained the usual claim of the election being "fraudulent", and these imperatives:
"But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt. ... We have to have peace. So, go home, we love you, you’re very special. You’ve seen what happens. You’ve seen the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel. But go home and go home in peace."
are you serious? "wild protest" is about as ambiguous as you can get. There's no call for violence with the word "wild" any more than a "wild party" is a call for violence.
Regardless of what the media is labeling the events on January 6th, the people involved were acting of their own free will. Trump has no culpability for the actions of his supporters.
