> public transport dont want to deny that it runs unrealiably but in Germany you have a really dense train network (>33,000km)which connects many small villages with good schedules. Also lots of goods are transported by train. Thats holding huge potential if the government will invest more (not less) so trains arriving realiably

> cultural events valid argument. in theory all cultural events which are aligned with democratic values should be able to get funded. but if they really get funded is a political decision. i really like the affordable prices in museums, free outdoor art events... but i can see that this could seen differently. I think cultural events and art are an essential part of our culture and society and should not follow market logic that is has to make money to exist and only is affordable to some.

Just want to add that you also just can't compare the netto value on your bank account. In Germany the state takes responsibility for much more things like education (Kindergarten, School, University), public transport, cultural events ... . They are heavily subsidiced and give value back where you don't have to pay extra.

I have a really wide screen (52') and all these window managment apps fails for me at the point that I only can divide the screen in thirds or halfs. Thirds for three apps is too small, halfes to large. I need custom areas like 3/7, 3/7, 1/7. The only app which i found which this offers is 1piece
