No, we won’t. A certain dude in the government made sure to cut 99% of the funds pertaining to the study of storing energy (i.e., batteries). It is the same dude who accused the Green Party for only making ideological policies. This is the state of stupidity in this country.

Even smaller companies were often required to have some sort of Kindergarten and other support for parents. Maybe this is still remembered by today’s potential parents, and - like someone said ITT - parents have it hard enough already.

Fun fact: This was explained to me (in High School…) because “the enemy” wanted to indoctrinate children at a very young age because communism… I didn’t even had to ask, that came immediately when the then GDR was discussed as part of the official curriculum.
