Before this article really gets started, let me tell you about a hard working woman.
No, not from Angela Merkel.
She works hard too, but we'll get to that later.
The hard-working woman, who will be mentioned first, reopened her hairdressing shop in Berlin-Kreuzberg on Monday after she was not allowed to operate it for months.
Since the appointments were immediately booked out, she even opened the door earlier for regular customers like the author of these lines and cut hair at dawn. If their business was in Vienna, their customers would have had to show a negative corona test. If their business was in Tel Aviv, most of them would already be vaccinated. But since the salon is in the German capital, everything was as usual.
