It is 🥶 @sabergirl but I did wear it once this week. Had to go to work by car. Have to explain, I don't own a car. Don't need one. I'm living pretty central in my city and can walk or cycle almost everywhere in town. For commuting to my practice, which is in a small town 30k south, I have a 15 min walk down to the station and then a 30 min train ride. This works fine, usually. But this week we not only had a train drivers strike, also farmers were blocking some roads with tractors to emphasize their opinions on our country's state. You know what I mean. And Germans can also go crazy, sometimes, a little bit.
So, I had to take a car. Which means I rent one from a cooperative car sharing. Pretty neat since you can take the kind of car you need for that occasion. Little money, no hassle with finding parking lots, no repairs, tires, whatever, I like it. And since it was electric, even no fill ups. And I finally got where I wanted. Wearing the wabash

TBH I don't really know. They must have reasons, and it's certainly an important and difficult job, given all the changes that have come and that are still necessary. What I find problematic is the blocking of public life (to a certain extend). You surely have a right to state your opinion (within limits here, thankfully) and to demonstrate, but IMO this goes a bit to far sometimes. Here it felt like. What was good, the rightwing suckers tried to jump on the train (or tractor) and the farmers didn't let them.

Without getting too political and going into too much detail, the coalition government has to resubmit the budget and, due to budgetary restraints, two separate subsidies for farmers were going to be cut. The cuts have since been reversed for the most part, but the protests went ahead regardless. In general, more a result of not feeling respected, ever increasing bureaucracy and dirt cheap food prices making it difficult to earn a living (for some)

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your take on the situation, gentleman. Hopefully the protest and inconvenience resulted in some improvements. Sounds as though it may have even before the inconvenience was necessary…at least @endo got to drive that sweet electric ride share vehicle.
