This was the month that I decided to spend in Germany. November has started..worse
The German train company DB had its worst month ever, only 51.5% of its long-distance trains were on time.
I am sure by the end of the year, they can get this below 50%.

In a relatively poor, compared to the US, country like Croatia, my mother's pension (she was an office administrator on average salary) + disability payments just about cover her costs in a good care home. Just as a comparison.

That's the big question: how to do growth in the era of austerity.
