    Who could have seen that coming with active prevention of reform, no investments, active sabotage of future technologie and “everything must stays the way it was!” Mentality in politics and population!

      Even worse. The government actively works to massively increase unemployment across the country with their reforms, proposals and deals. Including their recent Nvidia deal that only serves to replace workers with chat bots somehow. The political center is imploding in the polls and perhaps for good.

      “Certainly not us!” said every politician ever.

      But hey, at least we got that one trillion euro investment package for military and infrastructure spending. Which is totally not going to get misused by using it to fill gaps in the regular budget. Right?

          You might have missed that the same party blocking any new debts while amassing a massive investement backlog and letting the military rot for decades campaigned on “no new debts!”, instantly took on literally a trillion of new debt for military, economy and infrastructure investments the moment they won… and then managed to actually even reduce the investements into infrastructure compared to their (because of them) cash-strapped predecessors while all spending on “the economy” was gifts and tax breaks for their rich buddies that do exactly nothing for the economy. Oh, and of course they started demolitioning social systems because somehow, magically they have no money…

          So just fuck off with that “but there is a war!” screaming they constantly use to divert from their obvious corruption. That we can only spend money on the military when we fuck the people is already a fairy tale in the first place. There is enough money if we finally starting taxing people properly. Instead they just funnel off hundreds of billions in debt to their mostly untaxed donors, then start raising taxes on workers and reducing social spending because they need money for the military and the money dedicated exactly for this magically vanished (and we all know where it ended up).

          Why do idiots always need to copy any insanity from the US where they are also brain-washing people into thinking that military spending is the reason they can’t afford health care or stuff, while much of that “military spending” is just hidden industry subsidies and corrupt waste and they also actually spend massive amounts in healthcare… it’s just bad by design to make the rich even richer.

              Thank you for –just accidently of course– getting rid of all the “…with the screaming they constantly use to divert from their corruption”-context.

              What an interesting coincidence that people parroting populist talking points always use the exact same populist tactics.

                Yeah, tankies are just parroting the same propaganda, and they are indeed using the same phrases.

          You may have missed that there is a war ongoing in Europe, and the threat goes far beyond its current state.

          How exactly do you think these two statements are connected?

          You may have misses the various studies conducted on the inefficient spending of said budgets.

          The problem ist, that especially with the background of this already ongoing war, deindustrialisation is the worst one could do. Because this deindustrialisation creates a dependence on powers that cannot be trusted.

        I fear it is more like a package for military and military infrastructure spending. In case you are looking for a job, Rheinmetall has them.

          Even they have this “restructuring” oddly. Source: i applied and had an interview and that was their answer to me asking after a month

        How about not killing of renewable energie TWICE in favor of gas, smear campagnies against the greens, doubling down to fascist rethoric, investing in infrastructure and school renovations and modernization, not rotting the trains and investing everything into a dream of an american style city, instead of investing into E-Cars they fight for fossible fuel giving the Oil barrons 4 consecutive gifts in tripple digit BILLIONS how about doing the opposite because it was clear this will kill the car industrie and see what happens right now: german car industry dying because they are only building fossile fuel but the people want electro cars!

        Cutting down on bureaucracy, reforming laws for modern age usage. And so much more!

        May i remind you that they voted against “only yes means yes” in the EU and against making marriage rape a crime?

        Schmitt wanted to invest into glassfiber cable in the 70s. The money already was set aside, but got stabbed in the back by his own party. Then kohl took the money and put it into the old tech if TV and copper cable, despite science already saying “glas fiber will be the future”!! And this is the reason germanys internet is one of the worst in Europa.

        Their blatant corruption is on the level of trump! Andi Scheuer, Jens Spahn, Katharina Reichel, Peter Altmair, Markus Söder, Alexander Dobrindt, Axel Voss (EUMP who is the master mind behind article 13 and the chat controll and wants to erect mass survailance. Also best buddy of peter thiel), Phillip Amthor, to only name a few with the biggest Corruption cases that never faced trial!!

        The list of their failiure is unlimited!
