Unemployment benefits
Well it sure benefited this guy. Schwarzarbeit (“black” or illegal work) is one of the most popular forms of Volkssport (popular sporting activities) in Germany, if not the sporting activity numero uno. It’s just what one does here when one wants to get over and/or by. One has to, you see (or so the thinking goes), because fewer and fewer normal folks and businesses can afford to pay the outrageously high Sozialabgaben (social welfare contributions and expenses) that are added on top of the hourly wage itself. If you “work black”, the people paying you black don’t have to pay these, see?
Now of course everybody here will be outraged and want to say that this particular “black worker" was just another black sheep, which is true. But if they’re honest with themselves and start looking around to count all the black sheep among their friends, family, community (tell me when to stop), that big black stripe in the German flag will suddenly start taking on a completely different meaning.
Da sehe ich Schwarz.
