Recently, the Institute of the German Economy reported that companies had never withdrawn so much money from Germany as they did last year. There was talk of a net outflow of 132 billion euros from Germany - the highest figure ever recorded.

Last year, for example, German companies made direct investments of 143 billion euros abroad, while foreign companies invested only 11 billion euros in Germany.

The chancellor merely grins smugly, giving himself top marks in press interviews at every opportunity and points out how fantastic and benchmark-like this government is for Germany. The "economy" minister says he is completely satisfied, without any self-doubt or remorse. Quietly, the increase in CO2 pricing was once again accelerated ahead of schedule. This week I discover that a bio-shop that I used has closed down because of declining customer numbers who can no longer afford the higher prices for organic products, and the two farms that operated the shop wanted to sell their land as building land, but now they sit deadlocked on growing red numbers because the sale has failed, because no more building investor is found who would be stupid enough to build in Germany: Building is over-regulated and from year to year deliberately more expensive. Public and private debts rise. Public services like transportation must be reduced, because they do not find sufficent employees anymore, the German railway becomes worse and worse with every year, the funding for infrastructure covers not even a fraction of the needed maintenance costs, and recently a whole city council has resigned because the accommodation of migrants, which the federal chaos troop forces them to provide, is consuming the entire municipal budget and there is not even money left over to cover even ongoing costs: they resigned because they said they could no longer decide anything and had no room for maneuver except to take on more and more debt that they could never repay.

If all the red warning lights don't start flashing by now, you've really lost your marbles.
