I had my first real sickness for time off since I moved to Germany. I had a call with a doctor, they pushed a sick note into the digital health system, and my company noted it as paid time off.
Modern civilization in a developed nation rocks.
Now if we could just get the paperwork to die down a bit... Oh, and find a way to get the trains on time!
Me, as someone living in the US, reading this, thinking you are living in the Jetsons timeline 😳
IIRC George Jetson was canonically born in 2022.
So... we ARE living in the Jetsons timeline... you and I were just born in the Jetsons slums.
I kept seeing discussions about the way things generally work in Europe, the rights people have, and the cultural appreciation for people's health and I finally said "fuck it! Let's move to Europe". I'd been visiting for decades off and on, so we made it permanent.
It only took three years of applying for jobs, saving, and finally getting all of our family needs in order, but we did it. If you can, give it a look.
I was gonna make fun of you for calling Germany a modern, civilised and developed country… but you saved yourself in the 2nd half :D

In comparison to that dystopian shit hole USA? Yes we are. Totally.
In comparison with an ideal nation? No, not even close.
What ideal nation would that be?
Oh, no actual one. Just this Utopian place in my vision where people are nice to each other and everyone is cared for and unproductive shit like this.
Nations are all way too complex to assess them for me, not actually living there. But I would pick the Netherlands or Denmark/Norway/Iceland if I had to choose.

If there's nothing else, Germany can complain about Deutsche Bahn! I have a long commute to work (my employer ist sehr schlect in some ways), so I've spent many months playing "will it, won't it" on RE train delays. I even had one vanish on the app after it claimed to pass through my station. Geistbahn!
The dumb part is that I started visiting Germany back in 1995. The trains ran much better. Nich so viel Störungen oder unregelmaßig dingen. Good memories only cover over so many cracks, though.
It'll only take about 20 years of big investment to rebuild the train network after so many decades of underinvestment by conservative governments. No worries, any day now.
Also I claim the doctors visit as a work expense because in order to get paid I need one :) its a condition of my employment.
That's Switzerland.
Switzerland doesn't play when it comes to trains:
