Germany’s 🇩🇪 industrial decline has been foreshadowed for sometime.
First, it was deceived by the IPCC on the reasons for global warming, therein deliberately investing in more expensive short term 20 year wind and solar power projects.
Secondly following Fukushima, it closed down it nuclear placing dependence on other States including France 🇫🇷 for reliable energy and having to maintain coal-fired plants.
Thirdly and perhaps no fault of its own, it Nordstream gas pipeline destruction increased further the price of energy.
Higher relative cost of energy in Germany 🇩🇪 means capital is redirected to lower energy cost countries, such as China 🇨🇳 and USA 🇺🇸.
To arrest this, Germany 🇩🇪 would need to remove energy subsidies favoring any one technology and allow the market to solve the energy crisis. There seems little hope of this for now however with socialist ideology well entrenched.

From the linked article:
“As 2024 begins, the parties are closely matched based on political party identification and leanings. However, Democrats are clearly in a weaker position than they have been in any recent election year. This is based on the new low percentage of U.S. adults identifying as Democrats, as well as the Republican advantage in leaned party identification.”
So ‘liberal’ does not equate to Democrat politically. Liberal in the traditional enlightened sense is also more Republican aligned.
Have to disagree it is a Master-Slave relation in terms of Lender-Borrower (both should win).
There is however a Worker-Looter relationship with fiat when trust is abused through extravagant Fiat currency printing.
The government should not be allowed to intervene in the economy nor borrow if necessary from new printed currency.
There should be unregulated competitive banking that issue currencies, BTC being an available currency and probably as the core store of value backbone.
COVID-19 vaccine censorship - V-safe.
Just not sure about the radio waves moving through the brain. Does it cook it?

Concur. An investment is where capital is put at risk to produce something.
Bitcoin is a superior ‘store’ of capital compared to other currencies as it will not be inflated away.
Think some of the demand for Bitcoin right now is due to growing investment risk. Thus instead of investment, funds are flowing to Bitcoin for capital preservation.

Trump is right.
Green bottled beers have been many of my favourites over time. Steinlager, Carlsberg, Heineken, Taiwan Beer.
Now that I prefer sobriety and because soft drinks are so sweet, the non-alcoholic Heineken fits in very well and is surprisingly good.
All of that said, pure mineral water is great too…Along with tonic water now and again.
