If only the döner prices were exploding. Everything seems to be way more expensive, including the rents and the only imploding thing is the purchasing power of the general population.

Almost as if only a very small percentage of the population is profiting from those price hikes.

I've worked my ass of these past 5 years to advance my career, earning about 30% more, just to have the same buying power I had when I started. It's ridiculous and utterly demoralizing.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The soaring cost of doner kebabs has led to growing calls in Germany for a government subsidy programme to keep the inflation-hit dish, one of the country’s favourites, affordable as politicians report it is frequently cited as a concern in doorstep conversations with voters.

The far-left Die Linke party has become the latest to seize on the topic, calling, in a proposal it wants to present to parliament, for the introduction of a Dönerpreisbremse or doner kebab price cap, similar to that introduced in some parts of the country to control high rents.

The party recommends a €4.9o price cap, and €2.90 for young people, especially those from lower income backgrounds, for whom it argues the dish – thinly sliced grilled meat topped with finely chopped vegetables, garlic or chilli sauce, and cradled in a folded flatbread – is a daily staple.

Based on the estimated 1.3bn doners that are consumed in the country each year – 400,000 a day in Berlin alone – such a subsidy programme would cost €4bn annually, Die Linke has calculated.

Hanna Steinmüller, an MP for the Greens, a party that more usually appeals to people to give up meat, addressed the issue in parliament earlier this year.

Among the responses on social media, some young people have called for the return of Angela Merkel, arguing that as chancellor, Scholz’s predecessor “had the doner under control”.


The original article contains 547 words, the summary contains 231 words. Saved 58%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
