About the only bright spot in a very dismal picture is that, unlike the US, Germany does not have an out-of-control debt.

But it has more problems not listed here: a bureaucracy so sclerotic that existing businesses cannot expand and new businesses cannot be formed; a government in disarray, indeed failing, with the leading parties unwilling to form a coalition with the AF D, thus rendering any new coalition government doomed from the start; a nation philosophically torn between abiding with the West, militarily, economically, and morally or whoring after the markets, the energy, and the minerals of Russia and China; a work culture that has become a culture of malingering by exploiting the healthcare system to avoid work.

The AFD, the communist BSW and even the effete CSU all know the remedies, they are of the sort layed out in our election by Donald Trump. The question is not knowing what to do but breaking enough rice bowls to actually do it.

France derives about 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy, due to a long-standing policy based on energy security.
