It's probably time the rest of us lazy and shitty EU countries start "doing business" like getting into manufacturing more shit and importing less from Germany and it's also about time we should take it to the streets and ask some questions like what happened to the energy that became so expensive? Don't tell me it's because of the war because I don't believe that. Sometimes all you need is a good crisis to revive a relatively large ecosystem. We are having similar strikes to the German ones here too and these should be all over the world. We are now paying the price in regard to inflation because we were too weak during the pandemic to defend our rights and not close entire fucking countries for a virus that was lab-made and intentionally spread, a virus that was no more lethal than the regular flu.
