    We didn’t agree. He is elected and we can’t do anything about it. Trust me, most of us aren’t happy about that decision. We try to get rid of him in the next election. Selling tax payed public stuff to our disadvantage sadly has tradition in Germany (telephone lines, railroad)

        Yeah, but for profit. Since Die Bahn was changed into an AG it is also mismanaged. This really turned out great.
