Reply to comment by CrieDeCoeur in TIl the first working programmable, fully automatic digital computer was built in Germany during world war 2 by Konrad zuse but received no press coverage because of the war by mankls3
Zuse only finished his Z3 in the middle of the war. Which was a prototype. Meanwhile the mechanical IBM hardware, which was perfectly usable, had been around for years.
And there is no need to put date processing in parentheses. They used them pretty much any data processing they had to do. Not just for the genocides.

Reply to Germany approves welfare reform, extends nuclear power | Germany's upper house of parliament approved measures aimed at helping people hit hard by high energy prices and the high cost of living. The country's nuclear power extension will also take effect immediately. by misana123
Unfortunately, the conservatives, who hold a death grip on the Bundesrat, screwed over poor people again and made a joke of the wellfare reform.
Basically, nothing really changes, people just get a little more money. The original proposal was not exactly a dramatic change, either (after all, the liberals are part of the coalition), but what we get now doesn't deserve the name "reform".
