Snapshot from Berlin
Indeed! I wonder what happens in the lives of people like Andrew to make them so fucking terrible and weird. Like why would you think it's a flex to go to Dubai? I hope they arrest him on arrival. Disappearing him to jail and putting him in gen pop also works.
Agree! Any reports from coming the plant over he years has indicated a very toxic work environment. They lead by fear and try to stifle any legit complaints. I know someone who was in the mix for a job there and withdrew from the recruiting process due to so many red flags.
lol. That also works.
Elon threatened employees and said the union would destroy the plant’s future. I think the fear mongering worked.
Crazy high price to pay! Wow.
Oh nice! Not bad at all.
Oh nice! That's a great service to have. I'm going to be 4-6 weeks without my passport and permanent residency sticker. Just hoping I am not going to need my ID for some reason.
That's not bad!
Damn! I asked this same question on Threads and learned it's the most expensive passport in the world. It's for 5 years or 10?
I hope Tate meets a drone up close and personal
Tesla Berlin failed to vote in a union :(

In the process of renewing my Canadian passport. I just shelled out $260 Cdn (about €165) for a new 10 year passport. 😭
How much do you pay for passports for your country?
Me too! 😅😅😅
This pic of my two cats from 2 years ago came up in my Facebook memories. It’s comical how they are looking at me. 🥰😅

Missed last week? We covered Germany's healthcare crisis, why half of people fail the driving theory test, which nationality gets the most EU Blue Cards (predictable when you think about it), and 6 job trends for 2026.
From the news desk: Germany is the 8th best country in the world for quality of life, tech salaries are rising fast for specialists, and Berlin is turning a major road into a giant play street.
This week's newsletter also covers 5 German companies hiring right now including OpenAI in Munich and Kolibri Games in Berlin, plus 12 newly funded startups -- some also hiring. Cognee raised $7.5M and Plato €12.2M, both in Berlin.
Job security for internationals in Germany is shakier than ever. We asked our community how they feel right now — and half are worried. Myself included. 🧵
