This is just silly. The German train system has problems. Does that mean total civilizational collapse? No, it doesn't.

Collapse is the other end of the spectrum. This is an institution whose practices/policies only serve itself instead of its customers/purpose.
It's progress, taken to its extreme. From a certain point of view it's effectively the same as collapse.
What does that even mean? We're talking about an organization that serves billions of riders per year. Their passenger numbers increased 20-30% since 2020 so even if their delays are bad clearly it's not bad enough that most people seek alternatives.
