My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in Germany.

Worst Problem in Germany is it's burocracy. It wont change because the country is ruled by old people.

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.

Back in the 90s I was studying about Germany 's failure to create families. I visited Germany multiple times, and I found true the lack of children around any given place.

Germany scored a few own goals, can't blame others for their problems.

Mutti had no vision..filling Germany with islamists is not a vision, but an disaster

Losing a year or two may be a misfortune, but misplacing an entire decade does look like carelessness.

Ahhh, the classic “wE NeED mORe miGRAntS”. Yeah, we are humans not, economic units. We can have a more mid economy, but keep our SAFETY, culture and language.

Just to tell some things, since I am a German and probably leaving the country in a couple of years (Preparing everything, just takes a while):
1.) Official numbers are lying. It is far worse than it is being told in the media.
One example of this is the raise in deficit spending. Since deficit spending is also part of the gdp, more deficit spending means more gdp, but with the economy being in a large downturn, the gdp numbers are not reliable anymore. It is not stagnation. Economy is getting replaced by state money which makes it seems like it is stagnating, while deficit spending increased a lot in recent years. Of course, this money being spent is, in the end, either taxpayers money or debt.
2.) Some things to stay about BASF or generally chemical industry in Germany:
It is in the decline, and not since the energy crisis due to a number of factors, however, what is true is that the energy crisis made the already bad situation for many companies even worse.
3.) The very same can be said about taxes, insurance, and bureaucracy.
What is also to say here is that no government did anything to change it, simply because more and more in the country is being dependant on government money. People have to spend more, which means again more gdp, while the real economy is in the downturn since years.
We should rather call it the German bubble, which will just as explode in a few years as it had in Greece.
4.) In fact, capable people are already fleeing the country and the remaining are either preparing for leave, not as capable or simply are living for too long in the country having houses, stuff, anything like that.
Salaries in some fields are way too low, Taxes are too high, healthcare is too expensive, pensions are too expensive and the return is considerably low and lower for the average German citizen.
In fact, this country is really good, if you are poor and uncapable, while being capable, having a high-paid-job makes you a target.
And even if you do work in IT like I do the salary is far lower than internationally. It is not about the company, but the extremely high cost are making salaries low.
Not to mention, Germany overslept the IT trends all the time.
And now, the difference between national and global salary is between 20% and 100% higher for global.
So, no wonder skilled people leaving the country when they earn far better in switzerland, US, Australia, or so even by their respective national standards.

Environmentalists can bring even the strongest of the economies to its knees.

Unfortunately, importing labor does not work here in Europe. In Sweden, it takes fifteen years to get them into working life, so those who are between forty-five and fifty get a pension immediately they land

I like the way you talk slowly and clearly. Probably you are the first one to realise that we are not all Anglo-Saxons Thank you.😊😉

Focus on small ICE cars. Moderate Russian craziness with trade. Go back partially to nuclear power. Accept temporary demographic decline. No craziness, no loss..

[DoctorMoax]

Bro come on you're saying the whole world is making less and less money?😂

Thilo Sarrazin wrote a book in 2010 “Germany abolishes itself”. Most of his predictions and theories were correct. He was crucified in the German press and public.

What most people get wrong and especially we in Germany is that you do not need a huge export surplus to thrive. To the contrary. Having an export surplus year over year for decades means you've exported welfare of your population against credits to the other countries. The way forward for Germany is to decrease its energy intensive industrial sectors and develop its services sectors.
