Germany is facing the same demographics problems as the rest of the West.

Aging populations who will want to live off government freebies, with no new workforce coming in to supplement the tax base.

The unpopular anti-immigrant policies are only going to get worse as no Gov is going to come in and actually cut the parasitism so importing people is their only option.

The stability Westerners have known their entire lives is going away. Prepare to protect yourself and your family.

AI and automation. That's the couterforce.

There are still many unknowns, but it's reasonable to expect it won't just cancel out the reduction in workforce and it won't be free of side effects. But I'm pretty sure it will make many jobs obsolete.

If AI does actually improve into something meaningful, the jobs it would obsolete are the only things Western service-based economies have left after hollowing out its industrial base.

Im bearish on the West, there’s 20+ years of pain to eat on the horizon.

Yes it needs to improve and also probably we need to discover the limits. The way it is bullshiting rn is quite dangerous.

Some of the stuff it does in with media is "gamechanging" and it clearly gets better fast. Not a good news for many artists that found a way how to turn their passion into a living though.

But it also really helps with robotics (from what I have seen), this will enable a new level of automation that will make a lot of manufacturing jobs obsolete.
