People who have been there or live there, how is it? My grandpa says it's bad due to immigration because he's MAGA, but I wanna know what it's really like from a non-MAGA perspective. Is immigration really a problem or does it just make the country better and more diverse?

What do you like to do in Germany? What do you have in your town? Etc.

I plan to go to Germany for a few weeks in either Berlin or Munich :)

I wish we had more immigration to compensate for our aging population.

The only real problems we have are right wing extremism and climate change denial.

We're doing our part! We moved to Berlin from the US. Brought two STEM phds and four kids with us. The kids are all going to university (now or will be soon).

Aside from learning new papierkram skills the real only problem has been finding ways to not eat döner every day.

Yes! Also quite tasty. Sehr lecker.

I like it much more than my kids, but I've always been a huge fan of wraps.

Actually, I haven't tried it yet. It's on the list for a visit, though.
