The German government is cracking down on social welfare rules for the unemployed who can’t live off their wages. Chancellor Friedrich Merz made it crystal clear: “People who can work, should work!” While financial aid will still be available for those in need, the conditions to receive it will be tightened. This move comes amid criticism that the social welfare system is too lenient and encourages laziness. Is this the end for those relying on state support without the will to work? Or just a step towards fairness and responsibility? Germany says: “Work or lose it!” What do you think? Drop your thoughts and stir the pot a little!
