Law makes my head hurt.
Is it complicated on purpose?
Let's be precise:
Dr. Patrick Breyer is not a lawyer (* - not licensed to practice law as a member of a bar association).

He is a civil servant, and probably for life. At present, he is more likely to be working as a judge.
My professional experience tells me that it is increasingly important to make this distinction.
His time in the European Parliament should have taught him enough to realize—at some point, at least—that this system can no longer be reformed from within effectively.
I personally don't believe him when he tries to give the impression, that it can still be done.
especially when it comes to things that are important to the system. They put it “to the vote” until the result is right, after having had time to “prepare” for the next vote.

United Kingdom, the term "lawyer" refers to a person who is a member of the legal profession, including solicitors and barristers. A solicitor is typically a lawyer who advises and represents clients, while a barrister is a lawyer who appears in court and represents clients in legal proceedings
United States, the term "lawyer" refers to a person who has completed law school and is licensed to practice law. An attorney is a lawyer who is licensed to practice law and appears in court to represent clients. In general, the terms "lawyer" and "attorney" are used interchangeably in the US.
Germany, there is a distinction between a "Volljurist" (a person who has completed both state exams in law) and a "Rechtsanwalt" (a person who is licensed to practice law and is a member of a bar association). To become a Rechtsanwalt in Germany, one must complete both state exams in law and be admitted to a bar association

Don't kill anyone, don't rape anyone, the rest are all just personal preference🤷🏻♂️.
*The Law, simplified.
o.k.
the bible existed only in Latin
then came Luther
why did he translate the bible into German ?
bc he wanted to make the Bible accessible to the common people, who spoke German, so that they could read and understand the Word of God for themselves
same with law
it should not hurt to read and understand it
Especially when our lives are dictated by it.
On purpose ? Who knows
But unnecessarily for sure
Does it require a specialist ? Yes
But it should also be self evident to a pleb
Feel like old wise men with some experience in military, travelling the world (and serious travel) and ofc academic achievements in law would do a fine and simple job
I can't help but notice that there is little to no law taught in schools.
In Germany, there is a commission that selects the “Unwort” (non-word) of the year.
I propose the word “Präkariatsschwelle” (precariat threshold) as the non-word of the year. It originates from poverty research.
Where is the word used and by whom?
By our highest constitutional court, the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe.
In a ruling on whether civil servants in a federal state are paid enough; enough in the sense of the constitution.
Here is a source:
The word is so unusual that every word processor I've used so far has underlined it in red...
