04:36 Germany’s Economic Stagnation
05:07 What’s Gone Wrong?
07:51 Brilliant
After years of "stability" (more like complacency), the government is now held hostage by the FDP, which blocks every new reform that could (or, fairly enough, could not, but it's worth a try imho) better the situation.
Look where the corrupt scum has brought us down to. And its getting worse and worse.
Usa gave more to Ukraine than europe combined. Sooner war is over, sooner europe can return to business as usual.
When you sabotage your own energy production, try to force your neighbour to do the same.
All the while trying to ban the product that is the core of your industry. Gas cars.
I can personally attest to the lateness of German trains. So far I've never experienced a significant delay when I've been in the UK, France, Switzerland or Italy. I genuinely don't know what the hell is going on with the German train system but it's worse than anywhere else I've been, which seems extremely un-German to me.
The humongous rise in muslim population is inversely proportionate to progress/gdp
Germany: GDP +0,2/GDP -0,2
Germans: That's it I'm voting AFD
The German economy is very invested with the Chinese Market so some seatbacks arr to be expected
You missed the demographic issues. There is now a lack of workforce in many industries (notably transport but also healthcare) as boomers retire and some retire early. It's difficult to grow if you don't have the necessary workforce.
Germoney isch over. 🤣😂
Communism is the problem
Sounds like the UK 15-20 years ago tbh. Now we're in a death spiral. Turns out mass importing immigrants to fill your shit low wage jobs that aren't enough to make a living/support a family on just to make gdp go up isn't a long term strategy. Hope the Germans have a better future.
Didn't they promise that bringing a lot of dark skined people would surely save the economy?
How's that plan going?
Did you mean to show a picture of Biden on that "no gas for you" animation?
Envy the nazi?
I don't think so.
⭐
If you ever feel like you're the dumbest person on earth, look up the reasoning behind the ministry of transportation being responsible for the internet in Germany.
If the Germans hadn’t been completely ideologically drive. They could be using nuclear power and arc furnaces right now. But that still wouldn’t solve the chemical feedstock problem for BASF. A Germany without cheap Russian natural gas and cheap power is an economic midget
Interesting video, but can we talk about Ben's new moustache?
The thing is funny wise in Germany there are still workers needed but most Germans don’t want to work them like dirty jobs or teacher and a lot of other jobs they are to much to talk about them I live in Germany am like workin
Bro.. however good or bad europe is doing actually reflects how good or bad germany is doing. They're giving all the loans to the other countries.
Germany it's over for real this time, thanks to daddy USA
You missed the German idiotic “Green” policies, exploding bureaucracy, absurdly high taxes, a huge social welfare state that is a free buffet for millions of people who never contributed into the system (many illegal migrants too) and punishes hard working middle class. Demographic changes and lack of workers is also not helping. Energy policy is a disaster, shutting down nuclear plants that were basically co2 neutral and having to re-open coal plants (most idiotic thing i ever saw) for ideological reasons. Placing a big bet on Renewable energy which turned out super expensive and very volatile (cant be efficiently stored, this is a big experiment they are doing). Most importantly, Germany is getting away from free market economy and turning into a planned economy like Eastern Germany used to be, with politicians who are absurdly underqualified (didn’t even finish studies) pushing their ideology on people without having a clue about anything.
Dat was al het geval sinds de misdaden van de Duitse autoindustrie en hun sjoemesoftware. Geen topman van de Duitse automerken de gevangenis in verdwenen…zover het achterbakse Duitsland.
I like the video. Sounds like Germany has been neglecting its public sector; America doesn't have any room to talk on that front. We've been needing infrastructure repairs & replacement since before 2000. Y2K bug had more invested in it than our rail & road.
'No gas for you' Also 'Ukraine allied entities blew up the pipeline' 🤣
At the very least, I now grasp the concept of leverage. Creating <wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information.
Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely.
FDP is the only hope for Germany! Merkel’s Socialist party has been in control of Germany for over 30+ years and has created far leftist anti-capitalism movement that prevent businesses from free market capitalism.😂
Germany army is under equipped and undertrained. Has 20 year old equipment. They parade their 4-5 pieces of modern fighters, tanks and artillery pieces but that is all they have.
Most of the Germany auto manufacturers are locating in Eastern Europe due to overlord unions and leftist activists.😮
We are residing in Frankfurt. Done. Officially left New York to avoid aliens.
Is the premise you are starting from accurate? Since when is Germany in an economic crisis?
0:19 Why not include the UK in this?
Does Brilliant teach that the EU and Europe are terms that are NOT interchangeable?
Germany needs Mercosur inmigrants.
This is bs …. Every country is in crisis, except the U.S. How can this be, when the U.S. has a fifty trillion-dollar national debt and rising ….
Germany runs the labour and unions that is why Britain suffered in the 1970s and Germany prospered
Tosser
No more cheap Russian gas and weak/sluggish Chinese consumer demand or willingness for them (the Chinese) to spend their money.
Remove adolf putin from your intro
Without energy no business ,,,
You are wrong in ur video. It was the US the one which blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. Russia supplies cheap energy to Germany but the present traitors in Berlín have forced Germany to commit suicide
Saving Capitalism – a very good Netflix Dokumentation about the Problems now starting in Germany with the FDP
Washington is forcing Germán companies to leave both the largest Eutopean market (Russia), and the largest global market (China)
This is a load of clickbait garbage !!!!!!!!
ALL ……….countries have slowed down since covid AND the trade war by the USA. This has led to inflation (due to cheap goods being no longer available) which snowballs it. Also the war in ukrain killing gas prices (leading to higher logistics, transport cost)has added to the snowball. It has nothing to do with germany itself. You dont change what works !
So even countries that had explosive gdp like china and the brics have slowed down !
Once the trade war settles (which it must or there will be a major economic collapse worldwide) and the real war in ukrain ends (which it must or we will have ww3). Only then will GDP revert back to 'normal'. In the meantime everyone is going to add to the woes by tightening their spending !…………..
