German firm closures at highest level in 14 years | dpa international

The number of German firms closing their doors for good rose last year by as much as 16% on the year to 196,100, the Creditreform agency and the ZEW economic research institute reported on Wednesday.
Well, if one wanted a large amount then it might be as good a time as any to split up some of the big conglomerates into lots of tiny little chunks.
Most of german GDP are mid sized companies actually.
True
Germany is not coming back. The pension system, exodus of academics and high taxes on top of all of that will make it even worse in the near future.

Germany is the second most important host country for international academics and researchers after the USA (that was in 2024, doubt the U.S. will be able to hold the pole position with the Florida man at the helm)
When you share sources you should address what I said and not post unrelated stuff like migrant workers amd students. They don't stay. I'm talking about netto emigration.

When you share a source, you should read it before making conclusions based on the headline.
An English translation about the interview you linked:
Emphasis mine.
"The fraction of the people that were asked". Who was asked? Also, how do you ask people that have already emigrated to another country and don't plan to come back? Questionable methods. I'm only interested in the hard facts.
You can turn and twist it as much as you want. Fact is, there is a netto exodus of academics for economic reasons. And this has been going on for a while and not just yesterday.
Where do they go? Do you have any hard facts?
USA, Switzerland and Austria accounts for the majority of target countries. Around 60% if I remember correctly, correct me on that number if I'm wrong. Might be more than that. Emigration for economic reasons checks out though.
First, you post sources that contradict your own claims, and now you 'remember' numbers. I already corrected you, in part by using your own sources.
Such a debate is waste of time, bro. I end this discussion.
This person over here not based in reality at all
This is the most populistic response. You could share one source at least.
Maybe you should stop watching AfD Brainrot on YouTube. If I'm not mistaking you were the guy who either was or pretended to be not smart enough to understand how our tax brackets work, and claimed people were paying here 45% tax on income
How do your tax brackets work? Are they very progressive?
Economic forecast for Germany
TLDR:
1.1% growth basically means Germany is sucking it up big time. 1.1 is nothing.
Also, remind me in a year. It's probably going to be corrected again like every time. Nobody wants a panic, so they regularly invent some percentage numbers that are magically corrected every now and then by multiple percentage points.
Germany has major systematic problems. You can't deny that. It will only get worse in the next 30 years. Quoting some 1.1% growth for next year is a fucking joke.
