The press and social media are still abuzz with deniers of the U.S. elections in 2020, despite the lack of proof. Yet across the ocean – in Germany of all places, that paragon of efficiency – Berlin stands out as the shining star of inefficiency, corruption, and slothful administration. Enjoying favored status since WWII, it was deluged with subsidies to keep it a viable city. Over 30 years later, it still has not overcome a mentality of handouts and graft. Its new airport will forever serve as a monolith to ineptitude, and in a few days it must repeat elections in 2021 that were botched so badly they were declared invalid.
