It's not their fault the precariat has been getting shafted for a good 30 years now and HartzIV sends tons of people into disability welfare: Out of the employment statistics, out of mind. At least you can't get sanctioned once you're an alcoholic. "Those bums should just study at university and get a job" is peak liberal deflection, how about making it possible to live in dignity on a hair stylist's wage instead, how about making sure that not 30% of employment contracts are precarious, but 0%, so that you can actually plan a life instead of worrying that the subcontractor of a subcontractor you work for goes into wilful bankruptcy to lay you off.
Yeah maybe a pub isn't the most representative sample of the precariat. Try the Tafel.
The west is not a representative sample of your usual AfD voter, either.
1.65m Germans get food from the Tafel, about thrice as much as fit into your village state. About 2% of the population and more would like to, the capacity is limited. It should be 0, with this nominally being a welfare state and all. We're also short over a million of social housing units and that's not counting people who don't even put themselves on the list because it's pointless, anyway, there's no flats to be had. Shall I look up the statistics of people living in emergency accommodations for decades.
