I hate the way if someone is against illegal migration, automatically becomes "far rigt" so annoying

[looneytoons]

i especially liked the part where the guest talks about some skilled workers changing jobs, some leaving the country, and the new people coming in being useless. That's Germany right there.

Japan arming itself, Germnay going into economic slump, what can go wrong ?

[dasgupta]

Don't talk about countries that are sold to the USA.

The guest says the government’s plan is to “cut taxes for firms, reduce bureaucracy, speed up planning” and the even interviewer literally laughs 😬🥴🤪

[lochnessamonster]

To fix this Germany is giving more money to rich people. Makes complete sense.

Some group of economists have projected that both the U.S and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, define as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because china and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

Germany is not independent - that is a root of all problems.

Looking at the 2023 Q1 gdp growth, makes me wonder what on earth is Europe up to .
1) India - 7.8%
2) China - 6.3
3) Indonesia-5.1
4) Russia - 4.9%
5) USA - 2%

Others - UK -0.4%, Germany - recession .

Who dont see it coming after cheap gas is over ?

Somebody blew up your economic life line, and your government is silent, what do you expect

Germany produced around 6m cars in 2012, it is now down to 3.5m. Europe as a whole, represented 35% of world trade in the 1960s, that has now fallen to around is a very difficult time for Europe and it will only get worse.

Surely Britain has always been, and still is, the sick man of Europe. Brexit is going badly, but if the EU expands more to Ukraine and Albania, I'm glad Britain won't have to pay for them.

And who blew North Steam 2 ? It had a major impact on the German economy and manufacturing units.

[CanadianPrepper]

You bought the ticket with Nordstream, now buckle up for the ride

[AlternativeBrew]

What is that I see flying back, oh a BOOMERANG.

25 years ago? Well this was after the re-unification of Germany when West-Germany needed to help East-Germany fixing the consequences of 40 years of planning economy mismanagement and lacking investment into bussiness and infrastructure. It is amazing that Germany managed to recover at all after this and returned as the powerhouse in the EU, a G7 member and 4th largest economy on the planet.

[mr]

Fun fact - it is not just the economy that is the problem.

[Tongue_Twister]

Your neighbours from the east have warned you for many years, that cheap gas has its price.

Chancellor Scholz is by far the weakest German chancellor since WW2. He's destined to fail because he doesn't have the stamina for these troubled times. A perfect example of a fair weather politician.
