Hell yeah.
Germany has been sabotaging Germany for years.
Berlin power outage highlights German vulnerability to sabotage – Power is being restored to the last homes hit by a five-day blackout in Germany’s snow-covered capital, Berlin.
The outage was caused by a suspected arson attack and came as temperatures dipped below freezing.
It is reportedly the longest blackout in the capital’s post-war history. A far-left militant group has claimed it was behind the outage.
Then there’s “very critical.”
Then there’s Germany critical.
Merz issues business SOS in letter to allies – Chancellor Merz has told coalition politicians the situation in several key German businesses is “very critical.” He said the government must prioritize improving areas like energy and labor costs in 2026.
But “hold out” until you finally figure out that nobody wants them here, EVs.
Then the German automobile industry as we knew it will be dead.
Germany holding out for ‘real boom’ on EVs despite strong 2025, EY says – Germany’s electric car market showed strong growth in 2025 but remains on unsteady footing, according to an EY analysis of registration data released on Tuesday.
The 43% year-on-year rise was largely due to a rebound in growth after a muted year in 2024, when the end of a federal subsidy for electric cars had weighed on demand, the consultancy said. The increase in 2025 compared to 2023 was just 4%.
“We haven’t seen a real boom yet – the hoped-for surge in e-mobility in Germany is proving to be much more protracted and difficult than expected,” said EY mobility specialist Constantin Gall.
Well, then do something about it.
“It is unacceptable that once again clearly left-wing extremists have attacked our power grid and thereby endangered human lives.”
Berlin power outage affecting 45,000 homes blamed on ‘politically motivated’ attack – A fire that left over 45,000 households and 2,200 businesses in southwest Berlin without electricity was a politically motivated attack by left-wing extremists, city officials have said.
That means more than half don’t.
Let the Knaller (bangers) knallen (bang)!
Almost half of all Germans want a ban on fireworks – In Germany, it is only permitted to sell fireworks in the three days leading up to New Year’s Eve. Some line up early to buy them, but others have safety concerns and want to see them banned altogether.
Happy New Year!
Why, that’s capitalism!
Or maybe even Raubtierkapitalismus (predatory capitalism)! Or something else like that.
People really are confused these days, don’t you think? Not that they weren’t in the past. I just think they’re better at it now. Being confused.
Berlin’s budget chain cafes attacked by mobs of hard-Left activists – Protesters in Berlin are hurling red paint at outlets for a new chain that offers drinks at nearly half the price of others.
It is at night that the group of angry Berliners hurl red paint at the coffee shop front, scrawling “Boycott LAP” on the walls.
Isn’t all that complex.
It just wants to tell you what not to think. It suppresses American viewpoints, in other words.
USA sanctions leadership of German organization HateAid – The entry ban imposed by the US government due to alleged censorship of American online platforms also affects the directors of the German organization HateAid, which is committed to combating hate online.
“For far too long, ideologues in Europe have led organized efforts to force American platforms to punish American viewpoints that do not suit them.”
It’s called my sofa.
As Germans Drink Alone at Home, Community Pubs Are Closing – Skyrocketing prices and stagnating real wages are forcing more and more pubs to shut their doors. The closing of neighborhood pubs means the loss of leisure space, and of the community built around it.
But the truth is this is nothing new. German Kneipen have been dying out for decades.
That means when the money’s gone.
And when the money’s gone, the money’s gone.
Sweden and Germany slash aid budgets to focus on Ukraine and defence spending – Echoing the dismantling of USAID, other countries are changing funding priorities and health and hunger programmes in Africa will lose out.
Enjoy these German gems!
Germany’s security barriers are legendary, and for good reason. Security barriers are among many holiday traditions, like Christmas trees and Advent calendars, thought to have originated in Germany. The oldest known security barriers date back to the 15th century in Germany — and today, security barriers modeled after the German version pop up each winter across Europe and even in some U.S. cities. Between the twinkling lights, festive music, handicraft stalls stretching on for miles and mug after steaming mug of gluhwein (mulled wine), you can’t beat the festive atmosphere once you make it past one of these German gems.
