German economy shrunk 0.3% in first quarter and is now in a recession.

Strange, all the "experts" said this will not happen.

Ein schuft, wer die deutsche Wirtschaft schlecht redet. Merkt ihr denn nicht wie es uns allen immer besser geht? #ironie

Are they calling it a technical recession?

Yes, it's the second quarter in a row which is technically a recession.

(except in the US where definitions don't mean anything these days)

Technically retarded.

I think this is only the beginning. No/expensive energy, new green laws planned that will come expensive for house owners (and therefore everyone), rates still getting raised by the ECB and inflation still high.

If Germany doesn’t abandon its 🀑 ways

The way they fix a recession is by increasing GDP (chasing the metric rather than the outcome).

Spending deficits & issuing more debt.

Boiling frogs with inflation constantly almost out of control, but not quite.

TGFB.

Clowns getting rekt. The world is healing.
