The capital’s Bureaucracy Museum takes a wry look at one of Germany’s most serious challenges.

    While making fun of German bureaucracy is OK, keep in mind who is behind it: the INSM is a strict anti people, pro business lobby group. If they had their ways, anything “social” would be killed off to finance tax breaks for the rich.

    I’m thinking the British need to let them know they’re a good 50 years late on this joke.

        How many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

        One. Because Germans are efficient and lack humor.

          When I lived in Germany I told this joke to a bunch of people.

          Foreigners were either slightly offended (for the jab at germans) or found it chuckle worthy.

          Germans couldn’t stop laughing.

        Hey, careful now. German jokes are no laughing matter…

    Curious how at no point do the creators of the museum highlight the deficient funding for enough civil servants and how taxing the rich could pay for much of this to go away.

      I’m working in the digitalization of the German bureaucracy, and I can tell you: paper is not the problem.
