- Reaction To heute-show: Kann kostenloser Nahverkehr funktionieren (No Fun Facts mit Nico Semsrott)
This is my reaction to heute-show: Kann kostenloser Nahverkehr funktionieren (No Fun Facts mit Nico Semsrott)
In this video I react to German satire television show Heute Show and they ask the question: Can free public transport work in Germany?
Original Video - • Kann kostenloser Nahve...
Nico actually has a seat in the European parliament.
He currently is a Member of the Parliament but he won’t be running for the next election :(
because he isnt in any party anymore. also from his last votes ... i wouldnt vote for him because of his votes @@thisisviv
@@DaxRaider Yes He left die Partei, after Trouble with Sonneborn. The Last Time He are in the Green fraction.
@@DaxRaider für was hat er gestimmt? pro-genozid?
I saw Nico live twice and each time he had a sentence at hand... I quote...
"Joy is just a lack of information"
"Neurologists recently discovered that the human brain cannot process the first sentence of a lecture... you bums"
...I will never forget these quotes.
Nico is the best demotivational trainer in the world🤣
My favorite quote: "Hope dies last ... but it dies"
🤣@@JustdifferentKr
"The light at the end of the tunnel could also be a train"
„when you give up first, you can watch others lose later“
Fun fact: He sat in the European Parliament in Brussels as a official voted Member of the party "Die Partei". What he does there is worth a view.
What has changed since then is that you can travel on all regional trains, buses, metro, trams and subways throughout Germany for 49 euros per month (universal ticket that is valid everywhere) ...with the exception of high-speed trains or private providers, coaches, etc.
This was also well received by commuters, but in rural areas people still have to rely on cars because there is not enough public transport there.
"Schwarzfahrkarte" in this context translates to "fare dodge ticket". Schwarzfahren, the German term for fare dodging literally translates to riding black as in black market.
.... high time we revised both though. "black market" and the transport one. It hits a bit too close to slavery markets and racism, for 2024, frankly speaking. (
@@KxNOxUTAI think the term "Schwarzmarkt" never made me think of slavery, or skin colour in general.
When you do something "schwarz" (black), in german Language it only referes to doing it 'the dark way'.
This therm has nothing to do with skincolor at all but with light and darkness.
🤷
The reason why we will never get fre public transport in Germany is, that the minister for transport traditionally is either from the CSU or from the FDP. The CSU is a regional bavarian party. Bavaria is the state where most of germanys car manufacturers are located. The FDP is a neoliberal party. It is known that the head of the fdp made phoncalls with the Porsche CEO while negotiating the current coalition to speak about possible laws.
So VW in Niedersachsen and Mercedes and Porsche in Baden Württemberg and all those companies in the supply chain for the car industrie that have their headquarters for tax reasons in Baden Württemberg (which is ruled by a green MP) don't have a say in that matter?
2:49 in Germany we have a joke that Bielefeld doesn’t exist 😄
Unfortunately most parts of his character are not fictional. Nico has suffered from severe depression since childhood. This is also the reason why he will no longer be standing for election as a European politician. By his own admission, his mental health has suffered greatly during his time as an active member of the European Parliament.
GE: Beschämend das es so wenig Zustimmung für diesen, meiner Erachtens sehr wichtigen, Kommentar gibt. Psychische Krankheiten, seien sie noch so häufig, werden immer noch mit großteils ignoriert. Daher: Schade das sie nicht ansteckend sind.
EN: Shameful that there is so little agreement for this, in my opinion, very important comment. Mental illnesses, no matter how common they are, are still largely ignored. Therefore: It's a shame that they aren't contagious.
@@to.l.2469 Actually they are literally contagious and we are still criminally ignorant of it. We literally have data on how bad mental health of ppl affects ppl they have any form of power over (kids, spouses, elderly, workers under bosses with bad mental health). And everyone with sufficient EQ does get affected by the bad mental health of ppl around them. The "unfortunate" part you mean, is that it's unfortunate it's not contagious in the same way to the abusers who cause mental health distress to others. Though you can argue it actually is the case even their, just their ability to notice how it affects them is - in a sense - disabled. ///orz///
But yes, absolutely agree that we should actually treat all forms of abuse and all forms of illness on the same level. It's a stupid leftover or sexistic structures that that's not the case. And we're still working through a ton there :\ And there's reluctance to open that can of worms officially, cause then we also have to acknowledge all the worms in there. From how abusive patriarchy based work structures are (like the data is not already showing across the board how much healthier less work and more time for family and social matters would be for society) to how very frequent verbal emotional and psychological abuse is and how our resources (and where they're going) are utterly ill balanced in order to address that. We even have to then question the worm called "How unreasonably rich ppl drive and exploit mental illness".
So....yeah .... baby steps. Damn slow baby steps coming way too late for way too many.
Hahah sooo soo good!!!
Fun fact: Nico Semsrott is a member of the European Parliament.
But after the next election he is free again 🎉
there's a mistranslation in the subtitles: the state doesn't "charge you 150€ per day per prisoner", the state incurs costs of 150€ per day per prisoner, much more than it would cost to fully subsidize public transport for hundreds if not thousands of people.
We in Luxembourg have free public transport.
interesting - i didn´t know that, you also have some of the interesting European tax policies almost like Ireland... got bless ya
How is it organized. Aka is it free for all or just citizens and if they then are there controls and how do they discern? Simply via ID?
@@KxNOxUTA you get on and that's it.
@@KxNOxUTA It is free for everyone
@@KxNOxUTA As I know it is free for all. So no need to control - but they still have some officials here and there in the public transport (but more to control that some idiots doesn't damage something or behave like idiots).
Of course it could work.!!!!
remember nowadays we have tickets for 49€ but its still more then many can pay
Though I just learned the transport dedicated money paid for ppl getting government support has been raised to around 50-€ at last. So at least now that ticket will be covered. Not that it still won't mean ppl can actually afford it, when e.g. prices for groceries are rising much faster currently than the support is adjusted to it.
@@KxNOxUTA you can apply for help affording a ticket in most bundesländer, I heard in Hamburg you get a 30 Euro discount if you eligable to apply for it.
Semsrotts new EU-Parliament videos are really great.
I think public transport should absolutely be free. I don't know if it could actually work, maybe it can be made to work with enough effort. The problem is that not everyone supports ideas like that. There have been efforts to make public transport more affordable, though - it seems after Covid hit, ideas or actual efforts to make certain things more affordable, or things like direct financial support became more popular, in general.
Really try to get one of his solo prgrams with English subtitles. He is no fun ( in his presentations ) but you will laugh your guts out :)
the trai / tram goes anyway no matter the passagers so its whatever
:'3 Denglish is so adorable. "The public transport is covering their routes regardless of the absence or presence of passengers anyway, so whatever". You gave me a lovely giggle, cause I hear the German sentence behind this in my ear and it's honestly sweet. I swear I'm not making fun of you. Denglish is an often consciously chosen running gag in community sections by now and an own type of humour and I love it!
Gut das es das Deutschlandticket gibt - da langt sogar der regelsatz fast aus dafür. (Wer hat das wieder verbockt das der Betrag für Verkehr nicht das DT bezahlt?)
Im Regelsatz des Bürgergelds sind 50,50 € für "Verkehr" berechnet - das reicht fürs Deutschland-Ticket. In Kassel gibt es für Empfänger von Bürgergeld usw. eine ermäßigte Variante des Deutschland-Tickets, die 31 € kostet.
Bringt einem auf dem Land oder der Kleinstadt absolut nichts. Da es hier kaum Öffis gibt.
Heh, kinda funny. That video might been older. Today we have the so called Deutschland Ticket. For around 50 €/month you can travel around all of Germany.
Für ICE glaube ich nicht, oder?
@@enigmas_karnivore28 Nein aber ICE ist ja kein Nahverkehr, hat also nichts mit dem Video zu tun.
@@suessigkeitenlpachso. Wusste ich nicht
@@enigmas_karnivore28 Nur Nahverkehr, genau.
Das stimmt, ändert aber weiterhin nichts an dem Problem, dass das Bürgergeld nicht mindestens den Betrag des Deutschlandtickets einpreist. Bürgergeld liegt ja generell unterhalb des Existenzminimums. Als einzelne Person hast du 45,02€ zur Verfügung, bist du in einer Bedarfsgemeinschaft, dann haben beiden nur noch 40,52€ pro Person und das Beste: habt ihr Kinder, sinkt der zur Verfügung stehende Betrag mit jedem weiteren Kind.
He play a funny Depressive
I want to recommend the latest youtube video by Anette Dittert. She is a german correspondant for german tv working in GB and really presents a good look on the country from a german perspective…
Luckily you can't go to prison anymore for not having a ticket. The current coalition changed the law a year or months (?) ago. So stupid in the first place.
Oh they did? Thank goodness. At last some common sense and real life cost awareness! Edit I just tried checking and I only found a ruling that the "Ersatzfreiheitsstrafe" aka going to jail when you couldn't pay the monetary fee, has now been halved in length cause being in Jail imposes harsher on the lives of ppl than paying penalty fees. And that ppl now must be informed of the alternative to work off their penalty with community work. (Which would still be utterly idiotic for the case of "being unable to pay your ticket" cause chances are that you NEED A TICKET to get to the place wherever you are doing volunteer work to work off your penalty days ////orz///)
Is it another ruling? Like some change of what minimum cost the penalty fee must have for it to be able to get converted to jail time or sth.? Or a separate really public transport penalty fee related ruling??
@@KxNOxUTA I think you're right and I wasn't informed properly, therefore my original comment isn't 100% correct. I somehow thought they changed it to an "Ordnungswidrigkeit" but actually they didn't (?). At least there is an option now where you don't have to go to prison anymore...
bitte kuck das Schalke fan meme
early
Looking at how many people don't have access to public transportation or the acess is that bad you still need a car this is whinning on a very high level.
The central problem is that Germany has the constituional target of equal living conditions. If you define access to public transportation as a basic right you'd have to provide it everywhere. Even without providing pt in rural areas the the subsidy is greater than the money taken in by the companies who provide the service.
Nico's a nerd. A nerdy nerd. Everything he says is based on facts, figures, and logic. He's not a comedian in the traditional sense. His way of presenting the truth is unique.
Public transport could work in Germany. Nico, I think, lives in Berlin. Public transport there is excellent. (Berliners will contradict, but they're not happy if they don't have something to complain about.) I live in the country, and, yes, there IS public transport. Three busses a day to the nearest train station. No wonder everybody here owns a car.
Now, government, listen closely! You want to stop climate change you keep saying. Then improve public transport in rural areas! It doesn't need to be absolutely free, but make it affordable for everyone. Makes no sense to have ten or twenty cars on the road where one bus would do. And the car industry doesn't need to worry, people will always buy cars. Be it they have a family of five which is no fun on public trans, be it for a week's shopping you can't carry under your arm, be it for a vacation somewhere abroad, or be it just to have a shiny car you can be proud of.
Trolleys are highly recommended for weekly shopping. Just saying as a person who does it cause I shop "by foot" and live on a hill :D Covers "free gym" too lol.
Nico Semsrott - is on the very left wing. Those supporters of the left wing parties are living in big cities mostly and the people on the countryside have to pay for their luxury and left wing ideology. especially the welfare in Berlin (a failed and run down city) is incredible and people from all over Germany have to pay for Berlin (Hamburg, Bremen, Cologne ...) subsidies, a service they will never get at their cities or villages. a) Why should a family from the countryside have to pay for free public traffic in Berlin? Lot of regions in Germany don't have public transportation, or a bus/train once a hour. Don't you think young people on the countryside wouldn't like to have a nightbus bringing them to a nightclub and back at the weekend? That kind of luxury you will not find in smaller cities. b) most all people on the countryside have to pay for Kindergarden. In Berlin Kindergardens are free. all the people of Germany are paying that the left wing parliament of Berlin is implementing their left wing ideology. c) in areas with a bad public transportation people do need their cars or use a bicycle. no way tor reach work or school, Those people also have to pay for Berlins left wing luxury, with high taxes on cars, insurance for the cars, tax on gasoline, tax for co2-output and so on. You will never use public transportation but you have to pay for luxury public transportation in bigger cities. 👎 imo, 100% unfair 👎
I love the left wing famous for its luxury Berlin U-Bahn with free caviar and champaign the most.
@@stefanmeier235 Wertschätzung hat halt auch was damit zu tun wie man an etwas kommt oder wie nötig man das hat. Frag doch mal jemanden der sich ein Auto finanziert und täglich 50km oder mehr damit schrubben muss was er oder sie davon hält dass man in Berlin einkommensunabhängig umsonst diesen Service nutzen möchte?
Dude. The idea of free transportation covered by the mentioned numbers would include transportation in areas where we dont have any transportation right now.
Currently there is no transportation in areas where it wouldnt pay off, but free transportation should change that bc it has to be for everyone.
And paying for stuff you wont or cant use? Its called social. You may never need a hospital but you would be happy to have the chance to go there the very moment you have an accident so you pay for the possibility. Same for schools, same for every insurance you have. Maybe your life would change the moment you just have the chance to use something for free instead of ruling it out bc you think you wont ever need it.
but don't you think that is a different problem? If we would have public transportation by the country instead of private companies than the coverage would become better since the country doesn't have to make profit. This goes btw for all the "left wing" ideas regarding infrastructure: Transportation, Internet, Healthcare and so on shouldn't be handled with the need to make profit, since then they aren't designed to help people in the first place, but to make money. The first goal of infrastructure is to help the residents. It works okay for streets as well. So if you ask, why you should pay for free transportation when Cities profit the most of it right now, why should they pay for the Autobahn that connects your village. We are one society and that's why everyone needs to pay for certain things.
I understand your frustration for example with the kindergarden. I'm from Hesse and we don't have them free, even tho we pay in the Länderfinanzausgleich, but Rheinland-Pfalz does. And it would be great if we had it too. The money is there, it's only poorly distributed.
@@JesseblueXai there is a difference to pay for stuff you or your family may use or people whining about stuff they'd like to have and others should pay for it.
For example if you have to pay more for your transporation needs more than a pt tickets would cost.
Justify that the taxes from someone who has to drive by car to his factory job are used to provide free pt someone in governmental service!

ROFLMAO I knew of the joke but I did not know the background. XD Thank you for sharing!
