That means poverty.
Germany’s poverty rate rises to record high, welfare group says – Germany’s poverty rate rose to a record high of 16.1% in 2025, leaving around 13.3 million people classified as poor, according to a report published on Tuesday by the Paritätische, an umbrella group for charitable organizations.
The figure was up from 15.5% a year earlier and marked the highest level since comparable records began, the association said, citing official data released earlier this year.
Not just “a leader.” We’re number one!
We’re number one in having the highest EU electricity prices! And in tanking economies, too. Do you think they could be related?
Germany is a leader in renewables, so why does it have one of the highest EU electricity prices?
Germany generated more electricity from solar and wind in 2025 than any other EU country – but its prices remain tied to volatile fossil fuels.
German households pay around a third more for electricity than the EU average, despite the country’s impressive efforts to ditch fossil fuels.
That means suicide.
In this case, of the industrial kind.
Germany’s Slow Industrial Suicide – The climate left is achieving its goal of de-industrialization.
If the road to economic hell is paved with good intentions, don’t expect to see many German cars driving on it. Green mandates and other regulations are killing jobs in the long-revered German auto industry, as a new report from an industry association warns.
Germany has lost some 100,000 auto-related jobs since 2019, says the German Association of the Automotive Industry, or VDA. Another 125,000, or one in six current jobs in the industry, are on track to disappear by 2035.
But you wouldn’t want to live there.
It’s no better than living in the past.
Germany and Japan test hydrogen future with BMW, Toyota cars – During a recent visit to Japan, Germany’s transport minister Patrick Schnieder toured hydrogen projects aimed at bringing the fuel into the mainstream…
Hydrogen remains niche fuel for now – Meanwhile, German and Japanese authorities are exploring ways to finance the hydrogen production boost that will help reduce price spikes. After all, at first green hydrogen will be significantly more expensive than fossil fuels. Siemens Energy and Toray want to improve electrolysis technology for green hydrogen, while Thyssenkrupp Nucera is eager to tap into the Japanese electrolysis market.
Nice try.
Germans have been cutting energy use for years. But this has been in direct response to Germany’s brain dead Green energy policies. Fun fact: They have the highest energy costs in Europe (in the world?). See the current German economic meltdown. “Current,” get it?
Survey: Two-thirds of Germans cut energy use in response to Iran war – Some two-thirds of German residents are consciously reducing their energy consumption in response to rising prices linked to the war with Iran, according to a survey published on Monday by comparison portal Verivox.
The representative poll found that 55% of respondents were trying to lower heating costs, while 52% were paying closer attention to electricity use and 56% said they switched off electronic devices instead of leaving them on standby.
That means insolvency. As in bankrupt.
As in Germany’s current coalition government under Friedrich Merz.
“Hardly any of the urgently needed structural reforms that were announced have been implemented. There is no overall plan for concrete reforms to promote growth and competitiveness. Germany’s position as a center of industry is under existential threat.”
Other than that though, the current German government is doing a great job.
Smart move, Germany (Schleswig-Holstein).
Reminds me of those deeper ties to Russia right before the war in Ukraine broke out.
German state eyes deeper China cooperation in energy, innovation – Significant potential exists to deepen cooperation between the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein and east China’s Zhejiang Province, particularly in energy transition, hydrogen and advanced manufacturing, according to Daniel Guenther, minister president of Schleswig-Holstein.
His remarks come as the two regions mark 40 years of partnership, with both sides seeking to expand ties despite an increasingly complex geopolitical and trade environment.
Which makes them happy.
Which makes them miserable again.
German Business Sentiment Dives to Lowest Since 2020 as War Hits Outlook – Sentiment is at its lowest level since the Covid-19 pandemic, when lockdowns and restrictions hammered businesses.
Germany can’t be beat.
Richest countries in 2026: New measure of wealth pushes France and Germany out of top ten – Europe dominates global wealth rankings, but what it actually means to be a “rich country” depends heavily on how prosperity is measured and who benefits from it.
You can use any new measure you want, Germany will always be number one.
It’s the taxation, stupid.
