Old Age Insurance Fraud

Currently, pensions are again discussed a lot. Well, there is nothing new about that over the last few years. Some people already demand that we need a legislation to “work until you are 70”.

Now that is all rubbish!

Pensions are too high. Consequently, they should be lowered. First and foremost, we should say good-bye to such nonsense as the pension-stability legislation very quickly. Then, we should set a fixed basic sum – why not higher than now? – that cannot be touched. And the rest should be linearly lowered as far as possible. Even if it means 50%.

Nobody should be afraid of the retirees. The current retired people in Germany belong to a “golden generation”. They were the first generation in Germany to ever be able to live all their adult lives in times of peace. And they experienced an almost never-ending increase of prosperity. They should be grateful for this each day and ready to give up prosperity.

Opera Piracy


Here is a not altogether fictive story without happy end:

Some people like and collect operas. In Munich, their paradise is at “Beck am Rathauseck”, because Beck has an exquisite music shop. Every collector coming to Munich will drift towards the place. Here, he will find CDs with opera recordings that you will have to look hard to find anywhere else.

Mostly, he will find what he has been looking for and buy a few rare or totally new recordings. Consequently, his collection of CDs with operatic music will continue to grow all the time. First he celebrates the hundredth recording, then number 200, 300 and eventually 500. No matter how large his collection, he will always find many recordings he still wants.

The CDs will continue to get heavier and heavier, weighing down the shelves with pound after pound of material. There will no longer be any structure or system to the collection. To rectify this deficiency, he will store all titles in a database, before eventually copying all the CDs on the PC hard disk.
