@thenotmyjobpod: Germany’s economic model just… stopped working. Cheap Russian gas, gone. Open Chinese markets, gone (now they’re the competition). World-class car manufacturing, getting outcompeted. Add US tariffs and you get industrial production 15% below its all-time peak, 500,000 more people unemployed in four years, and ThyssenKrupp cutting 11,000 steel jobs. Berlin’s answer is a €500B fund… the biggest spending move in postwar history. Whether it actually lands in time is a different question. — Germany economy, German recession, deindustrialization, ThyssenKrupp layoffs, German unemployment, Chinese EV competition, German automakers, Russian gas, energy crisis Germany, US tariffs Germany, Bundeswehr spending, infrastructure fund Germany

There’s not a skilled labor shortage, there’s an unskilled labor shortage and skilled labor excess. Only nursing is facing a skill shortage. Other than that, it’s just underpaid warehouse and cleaning jobs that everyone is too skilled to apply for. Meanwhile high skilled jobs in science and engineering are shutting down or laying off workers while new graduates enter the dying job market, causing skilled workers to pile on top of each other as years of skilled labor enters a growing waiting line for employment that’s been back up for years and more to come

It's 2026 and they still send mail like on paper. That's where Germany is. Somewhere in the 90's.

it's because we had 2 times 16 years of right wing conservative governments from 1990-2020.

Germany’s culture is generally cautious about change. Combined with a complex bureaucratic system, this makes it difficult to pivot business models and implement the reforms the country needs at the pace they are required.

So basically arrogance and complacency that cheap Russian gas will always flow and everyone in the world wants to buy German cars even though there are no software updates.

A lot of people said arrogance here, and as I German, I can’t disagree. Furthermore I think it’s even worse. We were basically the rich kid, buying himself out of every problem and feeling like a business genius.

They prefer cheap, unskilled labour over the skilled, but more expensive labour.

Another issue: relatively low income for the normal workers(compare to countries with similar economic conditions). This made production and export very lucrative but means there is not as much capital in the domestic market. So know that the foreign markets are shrinking the whole system is collapsing.

This „cheap“ Russian gas thing was never true. It was never that cheap, and it was never that essential, as cost of energy is a minor factor in most products. The real issue is lack of innovation which means that products cannot be sold at high margins anymore. German companies used to spend a lot of money on R&D but stopped doing that decades ago and now they are feeling the true impact. And for the car industry: Post-COVID inflation means that their European customers have less money available and they are buying 20% less cars in response.
