> In a perfect world I'd assume this would be fixed slowly as this seems to be a recent trend, but I'm not hopeful.
Yes, I thought the Ampel coalition's push for digitization was a great start to this. And then I read last week that they slashed the budget and pushed it back again. So I'm losing hope too.
The problem is that digitalization is just one of the problems we have.
Currently we are paying billions for energy related issues, for the Ukraine war and investing lots into the military industry and in energy infrastructure transformation. We had three years covid slowing things down and creating various large problems: inner cities have huge problems keeping businesses alive (because people stay home and shopping moved to online) and there is a huge housing crisis due to large amounts of people coming germany (demand) and low building activity due to shortage of materials/labor and price increases. This all costs huge amount of money.
Germany is disrupted by the Ukraine war started by Russia and the economic boycott against Russia.
Digitalization is important, but people feared more about cold homes and about lack of electricity, than lack of public service digitalization.
