The German economy contracted 0.3% on a quarterly basis, according to the Federal Statistics Office. Germany’s stronghold on manufacturing is at risk. The government implemented new provisions to bypass the constitution and spend in perpetuity on the incoming war. Spending is up, revenues are down—the German economy is in a recession.
Annual GDP reached 0.2% in Q2, a 0.1% decline from Q1. Around 10% of all German exports are sent to the US, and some are blaming tariffs for the downfall without seeing that the trend was already in motion. Germany’s economy has been in a multi-year downturn caused by ignorant economic policies that directly damaged Germany’s mercantile stronghold in Europe.
German Net Worth
Politicians suffocated automobile manufacturing through net-zero regulations. Sanctions on Russia caused Germany to lose 50% of its oil imports. Its willingness to bend to Brussels has reshaped the demographic landscape with a spike in the population due to migration.
Lawmakers have adopted a war posture and are pushing to increase military spending while abandoning their austerity policy. Germany may be the wealthiest nation in the European Union, but individual households are not experiencing any benefits. In fact, the average German has far less than those living in countries with a smaller GDP. The cost of living has never meaningfully dropped since the pandemic and lockdowns.
Germany has not experienced such economic weakness since post-World War II. Estimates believe that the economy will decline 0.3% for the year or remain stagnant at best. Manufacturing has dropped 10% below pre-pandemic levels. Construction has shrunk by around 3% in recent quarters due to high costs. Exports, which are 34% of Germany’s GDP, are down as demand from the US and China wanes.
If Germany tanks, then the entire European Union will sink, as Germany alone comprises nearly a quarter of the Union’s entire GDP.

If Pastor Wilkerson says it, I believe it!
Brand | Reliability vs. Toyota | Notable Insights |
Toyota | Top-tier reliability | High scores in US & EU surveys, low ownership cost |
BMW | 9/10 models less reliable | Better safety in some models, higher upkeep |
Mercedes-Benz | Lower reliability (EU avg ∼89) | Previously renowned for quality, now mixed feedback |
Volkswagen | Lower reliability (EU avg ∼87) | Decent durability in older models; newer less so |

Sorry, “overpriced” junk.
EV mandate has damaged VW-Porsche-Audi.
No one wants a “hybrid” sticker on a 911!
A couple years ago I objectively re-read The Vision.
He was way off base on much of the economic predictions.
His opinion of the Russian military capabilities were complete nonsense.
“No one wants a “hybrid” sticker on a 911!”
Speaking objectively after our full test of the car, the 2025 Porsche 911 GTS T-Hybrid is the most capable, complete, and best Carrera model for real-world and daily-driving duty, and it absolutely rips on racetracks, too. No “maybe” about it.

And three bankruptcies.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see!
