Iirc for the DB a train is considered on time when it’s not later than 7 min on arrival. Which is a joke if you miss your following connection.

It’s all BUT California in the picture.

Sometimes I forget there are places where health insurance isn’t universal and was a little confused reading your comment.

Modern medicine makes anything possible, so much that STDs became an issue in old folks homes. Granny still likes to get freaky.

Tragically that was part of the idea of some of those concepts, connecting social security with social control.

For example Alfred Krupp pioneered a lot of those concepts in his business, next to company stores, company apartments, company hospitals and schools he also started having some sort of insurance for his workers, in case of sickness or disability you were secured by the company insurances.

Krupp didn’t do this out of the goodness of his heart, in part those programs secured productivity and helped attracting and keeping qualified workers. On the other hand those things were also leverage that could be used against the workers, especially against strikers, unionist, political agitators or social Democrats. Of course workers profited from those programs, but when you live in a company apartment, shop in company stores, go to company hospitals and schools, the company holds your pension and your health insurance all of that can be taken away when you go against Krupp, you’d loose everything.

Like I said up top, it was always a mix of social security and social control.

The disaster is the third deadliest aircraft incident in aviation history (after American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175), and is the deadliest accident in aviation history.[1][2][3][c]

The other two are the planes that hit the world trade center on 9/11. I always understood disaster to be describing more of an accident, but obviously it can also describe a terror attack where someone intentionally crashes an airplane, fair enough.

Worst aviation disaster in history happened on the ground. Tenerife Airport disaster
