Description
Thank you
Everybody is talking about thank you .....
..... but thank you does not make full
Everywhere I read just how grateful one is to the nurses, the truck drivers, the sales clerks etc.. All politicians praise the occupational groups, which stand in front at the "Corona front".
We all know how poorly these professions are paid, how much some people are exploited in the process, and now suddenly they are the heroes of our society?
While the main part of society protects itself at home from the 'danger of life' with HomeOffice and StayHome, other people risk their health to supply us (as fresh and cheap as possible).
But these people can't buy anything from babbling, a thank you is nice, but it doesn't fill the fridge.
So, how about a whopping bonus for the nurses, for the postal employees, for the people who just keep the place running? A recognition for the services rendered, an appreciation of their dedication. Combined with an exemption from taxes, let's say for at least the times of crisis, those would be the words I would like to hear now.
And yes, it should remain so after the crisis, the thanks should not be only now and straight.
This blog has as a principle "no politics", no politics. Nevertheless, today I will vent about the Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn, not because of his political opinion, I do not care about that, but because he does not do his job, has not done, and also has no ability to do so. When will there finally be masks, protective suits, disinfectants, gloves?
When will the professional groups that all the dignitaries are thanking be properly equipped? Was the responsible minister too busy? And if so, with what? The virus has been spreading in Germany for almost 2 months, didn't they see it coming? Countries like China, Korea, Singapore and Japan have been able to procure everything they need in a rush, why are no consequences being drawn in Berlin? There was almost 3 months warning time.
I demand an investigation committee and the immediate resignation of the sleeping pill! And his salary belongs donated, all funds belong taken away from him, distributed as a bonus to the nurses.
A thank you doesn't fill you up, and thank you notes from the sleeping pill sound like mockery too!
Thank you for the tragedy. I need it for my art
- Kurt Cobain - US rock musician - 1967 to 1994
How quickly the thanks of men fades away, and ingratitude becomes!
- Sophocles - Greek tragedian - 497 to 406 before the year zero
Who expects thanks for his love, does not love
- Heinrich Wolfgang Seidel - pastor and writer - 1876 to 1945
