Lucky? We did change about ten years ago, this is the second time around. Politicians are now trying to debate and looking as if they are taking it serious and maybe postpone the change.
In the autumn we had changes concerning the license we have to pay for flow TV. No possibility for deduction for the retirees any more. To get everyone to pay, it were moved into taxation. No one able to escape. Being able to make use of it, no one cares. If you are married or living together, both will be deducted no matter if you own a TV or not. The channels we can watch without paying for extra channels are called public service and get massive economical support from the state (everyone of us). Besides being able to get the Corona news or other political debates I would say from experience. That once upon a time they had some old material, someone put together a tape and it was put on repeat sending the same over and over. You would have to suffer from dementia senilis not to remember every sentence uttered. We were told it was necessary because all the younger people were really only into streaming. Very understandable of course. Soon we will also have to change the radio. Buy buy and buy. (Everything imported of course) Climate change, that is left to more and more taxation on the basic needs.
