The country is struggling to cope with a host of other complicated challenges that are sapping its economic potential. The biggest: a one-two punch of a rapidly aging society and a dearth of highly skilled workers. Many in the country hoped the large influx of refugees Germany has experienced in recent years would relieve that pressure. The problem is that few of the refugees have the educational background and skills to take on the high-end engineering jobs and other technical positions German companies need to fill. That said, at the rate German industrial companies are laying off workers, the labor shortage could soon resolve itself, though not in a good way. In the past several weeks alone, the likes of VW, Ford and steelmaker ThyssenKrupp, to name but a few, have announced tens of thousands of layoffs." lolololol. Importing Muslims has worked out so well, hasn't it.
Paramount rank	Sun Dec 22 23:27:00 2024 Europe built is welfare on cheap and reliable Russian gas. USA blew up Germanys energy infrastructure and then European politicians decided that they no longer want cheap energy. Lololololol
jergul rank	Sun Dec 22 23:27:40 2024 The problem in this case is sanctions.
Paramount rank	Sun Dec 22 23:32:45 2024 Anyhow, this might be the end of Europe. Germany, France and Britain. Italy. Etc. Everyone (except Norway) has problems. We don’t innovate. Companies are moving (because of high energy costs).
Paramount rank	Sun Dec 22 23:37:13 2024 ” European politicians decided that they no longer want cheap energy. ” Actually, European politicians decided over our heads that Europeans does not want cheap energy.
Nimatzo rank	Mon Dec 23 00:19:34 2024 The politicians are mostly retarded and disn’t decide or plan anything. A subset of them are evil and the broken energy system is a feature, not a bug. It’s the palliative care phase for the European civilization.
Rugian rank	Mon Dec 23 03:18:47 2024 You should all come to America.
