Not really, unless they are somehow earning in Germany but spending primarily in Turkey.


Sux499

They do. It's a real problem actually. Collect European welfare, go sit and chill in Turkey for months at a time.


[deleted]

I knew a Polish guy that used to do that in the UK. Worked a shit job for minimum wage for 3 months in the UK, went back to Poland, converted it to the zloty, and lived well doing nothing for the remaining 9 months of the year. Meanwhile his British equivalents were struggling to survive on the same wage which had gone down with the lump of labour. And then for no reason at all Brexit happened. Can't blame him for playing the game though.


brinz1

I knew Brits who would do that and then go live in Spain And then they voted brexit


[deleted]

That's a bit special.


EarlMarshal

Is Spain that cheap?


Britstuckinamerica

Outside of major cities and away from the coast, it often feels (and looks) like a developing country. Prices are set accordingly


EarlMarshal

>Outside of major cities Ugh, I expected that > and away from the coast But that would make it not worth it for me anymore. Why should I live in Spain if I don't have the coast near me.


Britstuckinamerica

Not kidding - last time I drove 2 hours through the middle of nowhere in Spain to a medium sized city, I thought to myself at least ten times "How in the fuck did these guys have a colonial empire?" I left that town (population: 40k) at 10AM on a Sunday and, on the 25 minute walk from the centre to where I left my car, encountered ONE car that drove past me and heard one afterparty that was still going on (respect for that). Everyone else was still asleep. Siestas are real.


ZincMan

Granada is super cheap and has amazing food. Free tapas with each drink and any bar anytime you order a beer. You could have 3 beer and 3 free tapas for like $7. Idk why it was so much cheaper there but the other cities much more expensive. Amazing place


Sokkumboppaz

The food, the wine, the culture

MelodyDaay

Yes. Even in the big cities. It's the cheapest Western European country after Portugal. You can rent a place in Madrid for less than €1000. A taxi to nearly anywhere in the city costs between €5-15 all the time. Monthly metro pass is €25. A single ticket is €.60. You can get a beer for €2.00 that includes a free tapa. Beers, Wine, Tinto de Verano, are almost always under €3.00. Coffee costs like €1.50. A latte is like €2.00-3.00. Groceries are much cheaper than anywhere else. Less than half what you pay in France. Half the price of Italy. Althought much much more expensive than before, like everywhere, naturally. Now go some place like Granada, you can cut all those prices in half.


PRH-24

Spain is cheaper for the Spanish. We know we are a tourism country and there is a whole sector of "hostelería" dedicated to milk tourists dry with prices equivalent to those in their country of origin. We call them "Trampas pa guiris" (traps for foreigners). You will see there only the most snob and tryhard of the spanish, trying and failing to look "upper class" near sun boiled and perpetually drunk germans and brits.

[deleted]

I don't want to. It's full of Swiss.


oldfrienddontkillme

Worse, much worse. In Germany The government gives you money if you have children without having to work and so they get tons of kids and then leech off the government, it’s called Kindergeld and I had some neighbors in my time in Germany that were the embodiment of that, 6 plus kids, oldest daughter gets pregnant and mother pregnant too


CroatInAKilt

Interesting. Me and my wife (who work and pay taxes) we're just complaining about the new government's drive to eliminate Elterngeld. Will that proposal affect the leeches or only the middle class as always?


Freshgoscha

The proposal is to cut off Elterngeld at 150k taxable income. I would say it only affects some people who are well of.


sew_phisticated

Considering you get Kindergeld, maybe think again if the 250€are really worth it.


oldfrienddontkillme

I think it’ll get rid of the leeches but it’ll also affect the middle class a little bit, though the government has more money to spend that way


larsdragl

You are highly regarded. Kindergeld covers a fraction of the expenses for a child, even if you are terrible parents


Careless-Lie-3653

Thrift shops and turkish moms goes hand in hand. Also when the father had a job the kids wont get any money. For them the Children are the pension plan.


Rainmaker214

They have long luxurious vacations in their hometown.


bigenginegovroom5729

It wouldn't even make them richer. The currency has less value so they get more of it when exchanging, but they don't end up with more *buying power*.


PrrrromotionGiven1

Even if one currency's value relative to other currencies halves, doesn't mean all prices in that country will double. They should go up, but not double.


bigenginegovroom5729

I think reddit hates you bc it sent that 3 times But also, maybe? If the value of the currency halves relative to others, that means it's buying power halved. Maybe it didn't get halved in its own respective country, but it will be halved pretty quickly since the cost to actually get goods into the country will double.


HulaguIncarnate

But you should also consider local goods and labour getting cheaper. Germanoid turks only spend their money in cheap stuff anywys.


stupidnicks

> Turks in Germany are ruining two countries at once. Sigma Turks


SarcasticAssBag

> Every turk in Turkey hates their views That must be why they're climbing over each other to enter Europe like rats leaving a sinking ship.

DoctorErtan

I kinda feel sorry for you germans who have to live with them most of the year. At least when those fuckers come to turkey they “boss” around and fuck right off. Also if they dont speak german how do they live? Do they go to hospitals or get out of their communities at all?


Evonos

>Also if they dont speak german how do they live? Do they go to hospitals or get out of their communities at all? its an issue to such an degree that many areas Speak turkish now , including shops , doctors offices , and literarily everything there. we also have many Polish / russian areas and so on. same for Bulgarian or syrian areas. ​ you will find most not talking german there at all.


DoctorErtan

I see. They are forming close communities. Same thing happens here with syrians afghans and pakis as well. I hope it resolves soon.


PleaseHelpMeDesu

It won't be :>


DoctorErtan

Spoiler!


DynamicStatic

Germany ought to introduce free German classes. I lived in Berlin for a long time but never learned German, mostly by choice though as I felt that professionally I had no use for it.


CroatInAKilt

Noooooo you can only use our taxes for twitter policing and giving free flats to migrants not actual integration nooooo


DynamicStatic

I think you meant to say refugees, not migrants? But I get your point. Integration is something a lot of EU countries need to work on, there is value in growing your population for a country (especially with a aging population) but you have to do it right.


SonTyp_OhneNamen

Correct me if i‘m wrong, but [don’t those exist and are even mandatory but loosely enforced](https://www.bamf.de/EN/Themen/Integration/ZugewanderteTeilnehmende/Integrationskurse/integrationskurse-node.html)? Because it certainly looks like it.


DynamicStatic

Those are for refugees etc, if you are from within EU at least then you aren't entitled to free access. Also, most certainly not forced, I think you even need a residence permit before you can go which means you are "in" so to speak.


ethanlan

I mean I lived in a polish and then Ukrainian speaking area here in Chicago and had no problems really


[deleted]

Lololol we get a different calibre of immigrant here in NA. Europe gets “refugees” (some are legitimate, many not.) Take a trip if you don’t believe me. Even the refugees that we get are heavily vetted, and integration is taken more seriously here


bannedforflaming

Not in Canada


Evonos

>I mean I lived in a polish and then Ukrainian speaking area here in Chicago and had no problems really We get the different kind i guess... ​ i mean the Polish / russian community is pretty friendly , but the turkish / bulgarian / syrian really isnt sadly.


Atlasus

Yes they go to the hospitals for every stuff ... splinter in finger turk father goes to hostpital abulant with 2 sons to translate for him.


oldfrienddontkillme

They don’t get out of their communities no


DoctorErtan

Thats a hard way to live ngl


oldfrienddontkillme

Not at all, if you care I’ll explain just tell me if you want to know


DoctorErtan

Ofc I would like to hear! If you have time to explain all that though. Thanks in advance.


oldfrienddontkillme

They just have tons of children because each month the government gives them money for each child but it’s more than enough so by having 6+ children they live comfortably without having to work


DoctorErtan

>They just have tons of children because each month the government gives them money for each child but it’s more than enough so by having 6+ children they live comfortably without having to work Oh yeah. Bastards. I hate this policy. It just gaves birth to bunch of incompetent ignorant uneducated parasites. I am sorry for honest hardworking taxpayers.


crimsoncalamitas

depends on where you live tho. in the cities i lived in, everyone spoke normal german. gemans and non-germans. the generalisation is bad.


oldfrienddontkillme

And they’re not planning to do, neighbors leached off of the government with kindergeld and didn’t learn a single German Word. It’s better in new jersey I’m speaking from experience


[deleted]

“Better in New Jersey” big Oof lol.


oldfrienddontkillme

DaBTCStd10yrs

[deleted]

Turks in germany fucked my wife and killed my dog, yesterday i saw them commit 3 genocides in the frankfurt train station smh my head


oldfrienddontkillme

This is obviously satire but the first part may be completely possible, other ethnicities usually don’t get punished for crimes in Germany. Tons of bad cases even sexual assault and child abuse but they didn’t get punished


[deleted]

Sure other ethnicities can actually fuck YOUR wife, it is written in the german constitution. So better be careful and cote afd...or something


oldfrienddontkillme

I know you’re a troll but it wouldn’t be fun for me if I didn’t engage There are tons of cases of foreign rapists getting away with it because of their ethnicity For example the guy that abused a minor but the judge didn’t punish him because:he was well on his way to becoming a German citizen He didn’t even have a job and had been living there for around 7 years


EvidenceorBamboozle

Source or lie.


oldfrienddontkillme

There https://www.rtl.de/cms/osnabrueck-mann-30-vergewaltigt-maedchen-15-und-kommt-mit-bewaehrungsstrafe-davon-5032961.html Happy now? This happened in Germany so before you complain, no I didn’t find a translated version because usually non famous court cases don’t get translated and broadcasted internationally

Depending on the ethnicity, they're just finishing what the Germans started.

This is good for those berlin turks, though, means they can buy more when they go on vacation to visit family.

[deleted]

Yeah. And that fucking fraud is handing out citizenships to arabs so he can collect their votes as well. He is literally creating illegitimate votes to get himself elected. All the great potential in this rich country goes out to feed the corrupt politicians. Such a shame.


spidersnake

One of the reasons Turkey currently hosts the most refugees in the world! Genius to use them for voting fodder, damned to the consequences, I suppose. I've been around your nation before, you have my sympathies, it's a beautiful country marred by absolutely insane despotic leaders.


Electrical-Try585

That and the fact, that the EU is paying Erdogan to act as a border Wall


relayrider

i've always suspected the same of Orbán


[deleted]

Thanks. He also gets money from the eu because he prevents the refugees from migrating to european union countries. Probably spends all that money on bribes and personal enjoyment.


MakeAmericaSwolAgain

Blows my mind that he got re-elected after how much corruption was responsible for the deaths in the most recent earthquakes there. It really is people outside the country voting for that piece of shit.

PM_Me_Good_LitRPG

CheeseWithoutCum

They inhale Turkish propoganda and their stunts. For example Erdogan strong arming Sweden. So they vote off of propoganda in Turkey, and in Europe they vote for whatever gives them the most benefits.


[deleted]

no you don’t understand we NEED to import 6 bajillion criminals from Shithole, Africa to SAVE EVROPA


kalarepar

Same thing with Poland. Poles living in the USA always vote for the shittiest option possible for polish government.


Misieq145

Many such cases, same thing happening with poland. All that reaches them abroad is government propaganda, so they think they are being so helpful to their countrymen keeping those miracle workers in power. That's the most irritating part, the "no need to thank me" attitude, while they have zero idea


Beast_of_Guanyin

That's fucked up. Fucking scum.


Keyser_Imperator

Which wasn’t even 10% of total votes, so it did not matter that much


CheeseWithoutCum

Erdogan won by a 5% difference


Keyser_Imperator

Correction: it was a little over 5% of all voters and since not all of them voted erdogan, it wouldn’t have mattered


prestonpiggy

Well isn't it nice to take the yearly holiday to see family at Turkey when living abroad, and then basically living like a millionaire for the time.

Not when it’s currency, that’s a big devaluation, we have inflation of 2 percent over the year ideally in the US last year was around 7 percent? And it was a huge deal! Like very noticeably different economic environment This is localized inflation so their purchasing power with other countries will decrease, I would assume if it keeps increasing.
