I love this country, and it's been a dream come true to live here, but I'd rather leave early than stay and watch or feel it sinking.

Germany used to be driven by a strong engineering culture. But that was yesterday. Today ideologists have taken over who believe they can change for carbonfree future purely by decisionmaking from their office desks. Engineering knowledge is to a high extent taken out of the equation. If you came up with facts about hydrogen Infrastructure being difficult to be spread around the world because of the intrinsic complexity of the technology and efficiency issues you get blamed to be an old white man and worse. The storage issue is going to be a key issue on a technical level if we are trying to head for fossilefree future. But these ideologists don't even understand this. Huge communication bubbles between politicians and pseudo-scientific NGOs (with close links to politics) lead a discussion which is highly theoretical and does systematically exclude engineering knowhow of practically experienced experts who might come up with a critical view on the current decisions politicians are taking. I hope this will change and we will find back to the engineering mentality that used to drive the country for so many years.

As a German American, who lives and studies in Germany. I must say that the younger generation feels completely forgotten. If the government doesn’t invest more in education and children, there is not going to be a workforce in 10 years time, when babyboomers go into retirement. This feeling of not being valued in a society is one of the main reasons why I would not choose to stay here after I graduate and I see a clear trend, in which a lot of the younger workforce are leaving to other countries, which value German know-how more than Germany itself does. The government’s solution at the moment is to reduce/ save on welfare benefits for children/ other citizens… when the answer should be stop supporting genocide, stop fueling war and stop forgetting your own citizens!! All the problems we have, have been mainly self inflicted by the mismanagement by this and prior governments. I’m sitting, waiting on the edge of my seat, to see what conclusion they come to, but I can assure you that German citizens aren’t going to take much more of these shenanigans and that the mood is taking a turn for the worse.

70% of that debt is owned by Americans. Someone's debt is another's income. In other words, they pay interest to themselves. And since the $ is the reserve currency, other countries who need $'s buy their debt which the US can always repay because they are monetary sovereign.
@johnnydash4603

Anyway if the ratio is too high the state ends up paying a lot of interests especially nowadays with higher interest rates. That means that less money is spent on welfare and public sector and likely cuts. That may mean that _some_ Americans become richer but the state becomes poorer and they are not going to build streets, just the state does that. Plus it increases inequalities. It may also lead to a point (probably in a distant future if left uncontrolled) in which they fail to repay the interests. Also the dollar has become a reserve of value but it doesn't mean that things can't change as they already did multiple times in history.

How shortsighted is a government who shuts down its nuclear power plants during a global energy crisis? This is the apex of stubborness. A clean energy source, in a country with no natural dangers (earthquakes, volcanos, etc). The technology and security protocols also evolved since Chernobyl. I believe the government startet losing support at that particular moment. Everyone struggling to pay huge energy bills and they could not give a proper reason for that movement, with nothing to offer in exchange.

It's about time for EU to start acting logically for equal benefit of the eu members with geopolitical plans, and not in the favour only of Germany and France, otherwise the EU will collapse soon, one direction to avoid this collapsing, is becoming energy efficient and independent, until renewable energy sources become cheaper and technically sustainable how? Part of this is the East Med Act pipeline, support Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, otherwise after dependence of Europe from Russia, we are going to be dependent and blackmailed from Turkey and Azerbaijan

As an American I understand his way of thinking since we are a debtor nation. The US national debt is over $30 trillion which will never be paid off, only increase every year and personal debt of American citizens is in the trillions of dollars. Personal debt is technically considered part of GDP since finance is included as part of the metric for GDP. We have a culture of spending money we don't have and find it odd to see a foreign country trying to be fiscally responsible. Don't be like us Americans.

They spent lots of time compare us and Germany. US have lots of oil, self sustainable in terms of gas, and have the biggest pool of nuclear stations. Germany doesn't not have any of that at all. So, when Germany pays triple price for gas (at least), US as the best Germany's friend collects the triple profit and partly invests it in green staff, maybe.

Good discussion as usual. Thank you DW! Germany absolutely needs that fund RIGHT NOW, for its own and the world's existential security in the form of military and environmental threats. Also why does Germany's industry have to be in trouble? I don't understand, they build machine parts and the whole world is looking to build new military, microchip, electric vehicle, and renewable energy infrastructure parts, and they are finding it really difficult to find the machinery necessary. Why can't Germany step in for this given their expertise? Most Russian mil production lines were based off German machinery for example.
