German Minister of Economics Robert Habeck is under fire after his comments during an interview with an ARD broadcaster on Tuesday evening.
The conversation surrounded the astronomical rise in the price of energy taking all the income away from people who would purchase other goods and services. As Germans no longer can afford purchases, the stores and businesses can no longer operate. Minister Habeck was asked if that means a wave of bankruptcies and business closures are forecast.
Mr. Habeck responded that businesses can stop operating, but that doesn’t mean they will go insolvent. Just because the business loses most or all of their revenue, doesn’t mean they will go bankrupt. That doesn’t make sense, Minister Habeck was pressed to apply commonsense. If businesses close to save money, workers are not employed. If workers are not employed people do not earn income. If people do not earn income, the economy worsens.
Habeck had no response other than an economically detached “Green Party” perspective that businesses will not go bankrupt just because they are not operating. However, his facial expressions reflect that he knows what comes next, total economic collapse. WATCH:

(Reuters) – German Economy Minister Robert Habeck faced a backlash on Wednesday for saying he could imagine parts of the economy stopping production due to rising energy prices that German firms say are threatening their existence.
Asked whether he expected a wave of insolvencies at the end of this winter due to companies’ rising energy bills, Habeck said “No, I don’t. I can imagine that certain industries will simply stop producing for the time being.”
The answer, in an interview with ARD broadcaster on Tuesday evening, sparked criticism of the minister in charge of Europe’s biggest economy, with mass-selling Bild newspaper saying Habeck “has no idea about the economy.”
Friedrich Merz, the conservative opposition leader, also took the opportunity to criticize Habeck, Germany’s second most popular politician, saying he and his ruling coalition were not taking energy and economy questions seriously.
“One could see how helpless Mr. Habeck you are with these questions last night on German television,” Merz told the lower house of parliament.
Habeck’s comments come as economists and industry groups warn that rising energy prices are a growing risk for Germany’s medium and small-sized businesses, which form the backbone of the economy. (read more)
Things are about to get very spicy in Germany as the reality of the unsustainable Build Back Better agenda starts to sink in. The intellectual disconnect from an economic minister to the consequences of an energy policy removing trillions of dollars from the economy is stunning.
Eventually the greens will be destroyed but it may be too late. All Americans better come to their senses.
It’s going to happen soon if this occurs:

The Greens in Germany are a cult that cannot be pierced with logic or reason–it is a religion, and that religion requires unquestioning faith and adherence.
Not sure even freezing to death will strip away the insanity.
“You can ignore reality; but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.” ~ Ayn Rand
Freezing to death might not strip away the insanity.
However, putting it on ice for a good while might not be so bad.
Within 5 years – 2 Billion people could be facing chronic starvation. And, that starvation will continue until we drill enough natural gas wells that fertilizer plants reopen, or 500 million people starve to death leaving food for the rest.
Freezing to death? Climate change!!!!
Well, once they freeze to death, the green problem will be solved. You are either part of the problem or part of the solution, you chose which one you are.
Kinda reminds me of a former German cult.
Megalomania is strong with the Huns.
Yeah, me too Mims.
“There’s none so blind as those who will not see”
Maybe their teeth chattering will do the trick.
Per their Economy Minister, people wouldn’t actually freeze, they would just be without any warmth for a while, and could be reheated later perhaps.
The Greens are just a puppet movement for the energy war on people.
They always have been. they will continue to be funded and promoted as long as they are useful to those waging the war on humanity.
This current situation has little to do with the Greens, and everything to do with. EU sanctions against Russia, which basically shut down gas delivery in Nordstream 1 (and refused to allow Nordstream 2 to operate).
So, when the Greens shut down all of Germany’s nukes and moved to intermittent sources such as solar and wind backed by Russian gas, that all had NOTHING to do with this current situation? Seriously?
The chickens came home to the roost. The EU gamble and the Green gamble converged, and the German populace now have to swallow the loss.
Jesus said a tree is known by its fruits, and the fruits of Merkel’s socialism is crime, poverty, and death–just as it is for all socialism, communism, progressivism, and totalitarianism everywhere and always.
‘Bakeries, craft businesses, cleaning companies…they can just stop producing this year, but they don’t go insolvent. They don’t work into the red.’
This cannot be a serious statement. We’re being led on, right?
Ideology over reality. It’s that simple.
I’ve seen a lot of ‘braindead lies’ from politicians. This one has to be the worst.
I think one of the worst for us was : YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DR. & YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HEALTH PLAN.
NOTHING WILL AFECT THESE 2 ……………………………………………………
“The first rule which makes it possible to understand and predict the actions of the social justice left: They ALWAYS lie.
The second rule is: They always double down on the lies.
The third rule is: They always gaslight when they are caught lying.
The fourth rule is: Believe what you see right in front of your eyes, not what they say that you should see. ”
Since Satan is the Father of Lies, it makes sense that his children lie ALL THE TIME.
Basically he’s saying if you just close your business BEFORE you completely run out of money, then it’s not considered a bankruptcy and all is well.
I guess there’s no such thing as rent, insurance, etc. Sheesh. Are these people really this stupid?
Nope… they are just that evil.
I vote both evil and stupid; the two aren’t mutually exclusive.
Well, the typical EU politician has never spent any time in any business, hence they would have no idea how a business operates.
These are dumba_ss liberals to them it makes perfect sense.
Remember Hillary Clinton comment on adding burdensome regulations on small business: “I can’t be responsible for every undercapitalized entrepreneur in America.”
Robert Habeck has degrees in Philosophy and wrote children’s books. Perhaps Germany should have hired someone with actual economics or business experience.
They do not need an experienced pilot to fly the plane into the ground.
Any socialist will do, and the academy produces lots of them!
Good analogy sDee.
That’s what they said about 0bama security advisor Ben “Rat Face” Rhodes, and he’s amazing! /sarc
WOW !
Habeck must have been educated at an Ivy League school.
That level of blithering definitely has that Ivy League feel to it.
Only the government can continue to operate with no funds.
No. THEY can print more money. THEY always have more funds.
Perchance, Herr Habeck is a WEF “Fellow”, who sat at the knee of Uncle Klaus and now obeys his Masters unquestioningly.
Is this clown capable of questioning? He’s clearly incapable of thinking and answering questions re: his own area of responsibility.
Which of the ninnies were his WEF classmates: Christia, her Boss Justine, François, Bojo? The German Chancellor is an alum as well, n’est-ce pas?
It’s getting ugly fast.
Because the force at their disposal allows them to take whatever they want. whenever they want to.
When millions and millions of people are starving to death no energy to heat for there house or cool their army is not going to help.
Perhaps you missed the starving to death of 3 million Russian christians in the holodomor by the soviets imposed by the Army and the Cheka?
Wow, so they stop being open for business and producing goods BUT! on the bright side is that they do not become insolvent for a few months!! Yeah sure, the owners of the businesses and the employees are no longer drawing a salary but let’s not consider that right now.
What total Kamala Harris style gibberish.
.
See, they have no ‘operational’ expenses, so they therefore can stay in business until they have to start paying for labor, supplies, advertising . . .
Just keep paying the lease and for ‘basic’ utilities on the leased premises — no need to actually shutter the business.
Income? They don’t need no stinkin’ income until in come the customers after they’ve gone months without . . .
The stupidity of this is unreal. They are idiots. Just like listening to Jennifer Granholm or Deb Haaland.
He’s not stupid at all. He just can’t come out and say their intent is to bankrupt everybody and destroy their businesses (capitalism).
You mean they have honest journalists in Germany?
If we had an honest mainstream journalist media none of this crap would be happening!
There is a limit to gaslighting! When people see the price of gas, and other daily needs skyrocket and see their savings evaporate right in front of their eyes (and the EU and especially German culture is based on frugality and economic responsibility at an individual level) this kind of nonsense is seen as BS. How long before these people are sent packing?
I bet you they outlive the population.
I would not take that bet because you are so right.
Wait until the Muslims start rioting because they can’t feed and keep their kids warm.
I agree. These replacements for Europeans were not taught to hate their existence and they do not drink the green energy Kool Aid.
If the EU still exists in the next couple of years I’ll be shocked. When the collapse finally happens its usually very sudden.
I expect to see Italy leave very soon!
Doubt it.
The Brothers of Italy is a fake right party, same as 5 star was a fake left one.
Its astounding that people can’t see they just switch around the controlled opposition parties (left/right/left/right) as people move from one fake front to another looking for some help.
Very important election coming in a few weeks in Italy. A conservative woman is gaining huge momentum.
Leftists are delusional. They live in a make-believe world.
They think chopping off body parts = changing sexes!!
And now they are shoving those processes down our economic throats. This dude clearly understands he’s gaslighting but does it anyway. This is why there’ll be no change of course until it is forced down their throats.
Sadly the delusional thinking is here too with the changing sexes thing. Attacking our innocent children!. Thank God we are pushing back and must keep pushing back with votes, with the peaceful right to protest even if they don’t like it. With pushing back on these disgusting school councils , on demonic voting machines etc.
Europe put Russia in charge of their energy grids and Joe Biden is doing the same thing with China. This is the ultimate betrayal and, when all is said and done, it wont’ make the slightest difference in the earth’s temperature. Oh, and none of the uber rich elites are going to give up any of their toys, foods, or luxuries as you are suffering and dying because you can’t afford to heat and cool your homes. Welcome to the socialist utopia, ladies and gentlemen!

You say that but when you kill off the people who mine your cobalt and make your EV cars, grow your food and fly your keys, the billionaires won’t live as well as they think they will.
Who’s going to catch their lobster? Gut fish for caviar? Keep pigs to root out truffles?
No, the elites really haven’t thought this thru at all
Thomas Sowell: “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”
Just keep in mind… these are the “experts” who mocked MAGA.
Once again the German sheep are being led to the slaughter.
Welcome to the Weimar Republic 2022!
I wonder if he’s a graduate of Schwab’s Young Global Leaders program.
Schwab did say they had infiltrated the highest levels of governments across the globe and this guy seems to have the right IQ to have come out of that program.

World war is coming! A very interesting article here
https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/The-Worlds-Energy-Problem-Is-Far-Worse-Than-Were-Being-Told.html
I have read about that theory of depleted fossil fuels and articles in opposition ~ no idea who is right!
I don’t get that Fossil Fuel thing, does oil really come from melted down dinosaur flesh of millions of years ago?. You know, after the covid & its injection fiasco of trust the science & can’t believe anything their science tells me. Was for a long time suspecting most children vaxs. But going back to Fossil Fuel, I don’t believe for a minute that it has any relation to goo from dinosaurs. Why don’t all mammals especially whales for that matter disintegrate and become crude oil. I think Mother Earth produces crude oil somehow naturally as it produces everything else.
It always seems miraculous to me that we can put any seed into a bunch of dirt and water and it produces all manner of food for us. It shows me there is a God and every seed that grows all manner of plants is each a never ending miracle.
Gail Tverberg seems to frame this article on the false premise that there is not enough in-the-ground energy (coal, gas, oil) to go around, (and according to her short bio is a subscriber to the ‘peak oil’ ideology,) and she basically completely ignores nuclear, as the word “nuclear” doesn’t even appear in the article.
The article is written from the viewpoint that we’re running out of energy, and that is the story which needs to be told to the ignorant masses so they come to the conclusion that the upcoming energy transition and subsequent recession/depression are not being inflicted intentionally upon them, in order to cover the asses of those who are making the decisions to do so. And Gail Tverberg is doing her level-best ass-covering here.
The intentional misanthropic manipulation of the energy supply is the story which needs to be told. This article is a complete misdirection and obfuscation of the actual issues, even though its title is what it is.
It’s probably too late to short the German bourse.
Is it time to revive the tradition of tar and feathers? Or are we too civilized in the modern age?
Oldie but a Goldie.
How civilized he sounded when softly discussing the destruction of most of Germany because of absolutely insane policies. I suppose if these policies ever affect WEF then we will see swift change because we know THEY won’t be eating crickets in the dark and cold night.
I am really suprised that Schwab and his sidekick haven’t been Epsteined!
So sorry, you effed up!!
You elected a progressive, but actually get a lying communist!
It’s Greta Thunberg Economics. Germany is dooomed.
Are these “ecomists” stupid, or what? How do you argue that if a business is losing income because it can no longer sell its product, the business can continue? When you go to a bank and ask for a small business loan the bank wants to see your business plan to see if your prospective profit margin will support the loan.
But these financial wizards are living in a fantasy world where money grows on trees and the indigent are not sucking-up all that’s left of government benefits.
No, not stupid. They are afraid to tell you the truth. The world is collapsing
As planned
they rather naively listened to the academics and their models instead of common sense and real world experience.
Unbelievable. This is the U.S Treasury Secretary?

Sadly, almost no US journalist would have had the brains to ask a common sense follow up question.
Wrong, they have been ORDERED not to!

Former foolish Chancellor Angela Merkel bought into the Green Deal falsehood and also sold the basics of German economy to the Russians, exporting 100% of Russian oil of Germany’s needs and this oil is now politically scarce and the German economy is tanking.
Trump told her not to do that! He was right AGAIN!
We don’t have a media, that our tyrants will get in front of, that will ask simple questions to challenge anything they say.
The interviewer was quite polite, but it was obvious by her facial expressions, body language, and followup questions that she realized his complete irrationality and disingenuous sidestepping in Habecks’s statements.
Here’s a Bombard Body Analysis of the terrified little minister:

I have yet to understand how these governments can operate with any legitimacy!
In the first case closing down the system in stages by lying to us to further the next stage. Then we have the vaccines that were forced upon us if we wanted to do anything outside our homes. Those vaccines did not right from the start do what we were assured they would.
Then we seem to be more concerned with the villains rather than the victims in all walks of life because some academic somewhere said that criminals needed our help not incarceration.
Now in Germany we have some of the very best global manufacturing coming to a halt…… the particle collider having to be shut down…… pools that cannot be warmed all over Europe lights of and a very bad winter coming with the cold going to kill many more people than a virus…..
And all for the USA that have an issue with Russia and who’s own people are not suffering anything like the amount the whole of Europe will suffer over the next six months to support a tyrant that just a year ago would not have been able to get a loan for a $500 car………………
Then Ukraine was an embezzler that flew Nazi flags….had swastikas on their arms ….killed so many in the Donbas of traditional Russians and got armed to the teeth from both the US and NATO…… AND WE NOW PAY TO SUPPORT THEM…… who has a leader that has banned all opposition parties and publicly says they want to kill as many Russians as possible…..while Putin is actually doing the opposite.
I say let those businesses in Germany go bust…..let many freeze to death….because this will lead to change of governments by force which is the only way when Tyrants are in charge.
Brother Olaf and The Coalition are pursuing Realville when it comes to power, at least for now. https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/news/berlin-eyes-oil-fired-powerships-to-secure-electricity-for-the-winter/
Unfortunately, it will be the people, the proletariat, who will be most affected. The bourgeoisie will be largely unaffected, floating off the money from the government, completely insulated from the pain. They’re on a speed course back to the heady days of the Soviet Union where there were two distinct classes. Those who were in power or powerfully connected, and those who starved to death. Hope it was all worth it.
I wish I could meme because I would put his face next to those smug German @ssholes laughing at President Trump WHEN HE TOLD THEM THIS WOULD HAPPEN 5 YEARS AGO! This is why climate change is a cult. They based all these horrible decisions, like:
Closing all their coal & natural gas plants
Closing nuclear plants
Relying on unproven solar energy
Relying on Russia for 85% of their real energy needs,
on misguided hopes and not actual science. They really did believe that if they made these horrible choices everything would magically be ok. These people are the worse combination of sick and crazy!
These people know exactly what they are doing.
Green lies
destroy lives.
This was totally obvious, but oh what a mess.
European Depression?
I was in Germany in 2000. Great country, a bit arrogant. They were focused on green energy then. The “educated” spoke of fuel cells, solar, and hydrogen. (Cough)
Don’t forget, Germans are F R U G A L!!! (Some say cheap.) Want to get a good deal? Follow the Germans.
Some are already stocking up on electric SPACE HEATERS… which are notoriously inefficient, and an uptick in their use brings on a cascade of other problems. (Demand soars for electricity… because they won’t have natural gas.)
One thing they spend money on is travel. Travel, and sometimes cars.
I wonder how Greece and Spain are doing? The Germans love to vacation there, buy summer homes there, but they consider themselves more industrious.
Space heaters need electricity to run
The young people in Kiev approve …
“Dear Germany, please send more money.”
MASSIVE UNDER-REPORTED STORY?
A visiting Spaniard last week informed me that Putin BRIBED / funded Green NGOs in Germany / Europe with $200 Million … to use more Russian natural gas and shut down nuclear power plants… which the Greens pushed… I believe they may have their own political party… the Greens often collaborate with the Christian Democrats and the Socialists… to form a ruling block.
So Putin buys leverage w $200 Million… and makes Billions on the backside.
This story allegedly broke after a recent German election. I’ll try to find the story.
Goes along with the whole watermellon trope doesn’t it. Green on the outside red on the inside.
I think this is all happening at the same time all over in order to discredit the whole ball of wax that the green new deal encompasses.
Our betters think that we will bow down to the academic eggheads as the know-alls but in the end, common sense will prevail.
Pudding Brain and his band of obongo advisors will find themselves on the end of the stick come November and in 2024.
God works in mysterious ways and he never gives us more than we can handle–individually and collectively.
“Certain transactions are no longer profitable……………………….”
Wow. He’s smoooooooth.
So if someone receives a diagnosis today of a terminal cancer or heart failure, their problem is not (apparently) that it’s going to kill them. It’s just that at some point in the foreseeable future they will no longer be able to breathe, their heart will no longer function, there will be no intake of oxygen or outflow of carbon dioxide and everything goes flatline….but not right away.
Well. There’s yer good news.
… certain physiological processes are no longer homeostatic…

He just insulted every business owner in Germany.
What a tool
So, It’s not just stupid people in America? It is a worldwide crisis of ignorance and deception. The goal of the WEF is to lower the world population. Total economic collapse qualifies.
How do morons like this filthy, degenerate fool ever get into positions of power in the first place?
Not just in Germany, but all over the West including of course, our own once great country.
They are so f#$& stupid that will literally kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
In the case of the current Green Energy Holocaust, they will destroy the lives of the actual workers who produce all those luxury goods purchased by the oligarchs like this bastard.
Thank God that it is at least possible for the USA to be free and independent once we get rid of the Bidenistas.
#FJB
I said this yesterday, give it a few more months and Putin will march across the EU faster than Hitler and the Nazis did. I will also go out on the limb, that people like this lying POS will be hung in the public square. Do these elite leaders really think that the people are just going to sit idly by when they are hungry, cold and penniless and have nothing left to lose? It is going to be anarchy all across the EU. Putin is laughing his ass off every day.
Putin can’t march across Donbass at the moment.
Schwab did NOT pick the brightest to be his WEF puppets. He picked the weakest, the ones most easily bribed and controlled. One look at Habeck’s face is all one needs to see, people can be stupid and evil.
His face says he doesn’t believe a word that’s coming out of his own mouth.
😆
No Energy
No food
No fertilizer
No arm forces that can defend themselves
No money
The most important No Belief in God.
foreign invaders that hate the country
Europe is going down for the count and America is right behind.
no Food supplies in reserve.
Let’s keep a few things firmly in mind here. First, Germany is an American client state … literally, occupied territory. Trump really upset this apple cart when he insisted that Germany increase its defense budget– money that historically has underpinned the German welfare state. Think of this as driving a wedge between the quid and the pro quo, much to the displeasure of neocons on both sides of the Atlantic.
Second, Germany is the EU’s cash cow, underwriting the social welfare programs of heavily endebted Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece. A collapsing German economy will have massive downstream consequences for these states.
Third, as the Euro continues to bleed value against the dollar, its infrastructure will become increasingly subject to predatory attacks from the usual suspects here in the US. Don’t know about the rape, but there’s going to be a heck of a lot of pillaging going on. Sending the Euro printing press into overdrive will only serve to accelerate the continent’s collapse since it will rob the Euro of its remaining value. Zimbabwe here we come!
Can the EU survive the loss of the German cash cow? More importantly for us here in the US, will a meaningful percentage of the American electorate understand that it is not Ukraine but the Green New Deal that is causing Europe to slit its collective wrists? Unless we wake up, inevitably, Europe’s present will be North America’s future.
More speaking truth, the EU has been a “dead man walking” living on borrowed (stolen, actually) money for some time.
And, any who are thinking “stupid germans” or stupid europeans”; when viewing this video; California just emulated the same stupidity, passing legislation to ban petroleum powered vehicles by 2035,…and then announcing rolling blackouts, etc.
Its the same insanity;
“Yes, these policies we are enacting, to “save the planet” which is in NO danger ARE going to SUCK, and its NOT gonna be a little, short duration suck, its gonna be a life taking and life destroying BIG suck…..
But, we’re gonna do it ANYWAY.
If the planet itself survived years and years of erupting volcanos it can surely survive handheld aerosol cans.
The religion of the Climate will not be mocked. Especially when $$$$ and control are dangled in front of the decision makers. No amount of reality hitting them square in the eyes will change this.
of course, but no one is listening!
Fangdog, I wish to amplify your statement: That’s BILLIONS of years of erupting volcanos. The last 10 volcanic eruptions have caused more soot and ash and CO2 to be injected into the atmosphere than mankind has produced since the beginning of time. Let that sink in.
Dutchman, Maybe that’s because both California & the EU believe the US Taxpayers will bail them out.
CA is already bailed out by the neighboring states. 40% of the generated electricity last year was imported. So they get away with their abject stupidity. So long as the other states can meet their needs. Problem is when a larger more widespread heat wave hits, the imports dry up and voila, you have Newsom calling for everyone to suffer.
Just think, with these numbers today, in 5 years, with another 3 million EVs sucking on the grid, as well as the cities moving to banning gas from new building, how much worse will this be?
yes, that’s it! California will be bailed out, by Biden and the population believes the crap!
Taxpayers already have. Prior to the last budget, California, Illinois and New York were swamped with billions in debt, along with state, union, teacher and miscellaneous retirement funds that were all made solvent.
And anyone who votes for this because they want to feel better deserves a collapse
Idolatry is discouraged in the Bible. Climate change is idolatry. These idiots find meaning in this fraud, just as other once did in golden calf statues. They serve their idol with all their passion. Logic don’t enter into it.
That “Dastardly” Trump Again!!! and he had the nerve to tell the Germans not to get Dependent on Russian Energy too!!! Soooo Trumpy.
Anyone being a Client State Stooge for Bid’em & Obamaites deserve What They Get!!! OMG, even the Amerikins too???
Germans who were at the UN listening to Trump tell them not to get dependent on Russian oil were laughing and snickering when Trump was warning them. Greg Kelly played the video last night. Bet they’re not laughing now.
I’d like to see those sanctimonious punks asked about their mini-group smirks now. Play that video in front of them now. But this won’t happen. I say, LET EUrabia FREEZE then next summer FRY.
“laughing and snickering”
They are ideologues. Can’t understand and will double down until it does work. Socialism works it just hasn’t been implemented the right way.
Trump gets the last laugh!!!!
I saw that clip….the arrogance of the Wehrmacht. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that.
From what I understand that cheap Russian Gas kept the German industry humming and comparative in the world market (Don’t forget the good old days of colonial expansion and exploitation are long gone, so no matter where they get their energy they have to pay a much higher price reducing their profitability Econ1) Do you know the Steel and Alluminum smelters are closing all over Europe because of the price hikes in Gas/Electricity. The Europeans dug their grave following the Neocons in Ukraine (so are we at this point). In my opinion it is not going to end well for Europeans….
The EU is ill balanced. The northern countries have been better situated to withstand economic shocks and have held a brutal inflexible whip hand over those countries in the southern part.
Greece first, then Italy have been the weak links.
In short, my belief is no, the EU cannot survive if the economic engines of Germany falter or fail…which is what is happening with the mad, radical, hurried, fanciful “transition” to power sources which can’t possibly take the place of fuels which have kept everything running.
Having lived in Britain, as I’ve noted before,and having watched the EU take shape and cement itself into a political (not economic) union, we’ve always said it was a union destined to fail.
And here we are, I think…watching it happen in real time and a lot sooner than we thought possible.
The only reason the northern segment of EUrabia survives is because they have been Petro socialist economy in close proximity to the resources of the North Sea. Only weeks ago the farmers nearly brought them to their knees. More coming….
Can’t wait. Vite!!
Southern Euros might survive a cold winter.. Northern Euros will freeze.
Historically, while the farmers in Southern Europe stayed active all year, the serfs in Northern Europe would hibernate through the winter.
I’d rather be a poor Southern European than a “nouveau poor” Northern European serf.
Of course, I’m way West… even here in SoCal, with our politics, the coldest it gets in our winters is 32F.. and THAT’s the coldest night I can recall.
And what of Germany’s newest “culture enrichers”? How much will they put up with? There are millions of them. In the overused phrase, time will tell.
That future is here. We are just behind the curve a little.
Complete economic collapse is not a bug, its a feature.
The green wing of the globalists see humans as cancer or parasites and are prepared to sacrifice other peoples children to Moloch, I mean Gaia, I mean to responsibly reduce population and the economic activity it involves by collapse communism.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to discover that these creeps are only in places of power because of electronic voting machines and election corruption.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to see that veil lifted and AfD take over government in Germany?
Well said.
