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

True

Most of german GDP are mid sized companies actually.

How do your tax brackets work? Are they very progressive?

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.

This is the most populistic response. You could share one source at least.

>... if I remember correctly, correct me on that number if I’m wrong.

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.

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.

Fact is, there is a netto exodus of academics for economic reasons.

Where do they go? Do you have any hard facts?

"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.

When you share a source, you should read it before making conclusions based on the headline.

An English translation about the interview you linked:

>Of the Germans who decide to move abroad, more than one in five respondents expressed the intention to live abroad permanently. Half of those surveyed, on the other hand, are planning a temporary stay abroad of up to five years in most cases [...]

>What is surprising in our findings is indeed the very high average level of qualifications of the emigrants, but **our analyses show hardly any evidence of a permanent “brain drain” from Germany** [...]

Emphasis mine.

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.

>Germany ... exodus of academics

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)

>According to the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) ... over 75,000 researchers from all over the world worked in Germany. In addition, 380,000 international students were enrolled at German universities - a new record.

This person over here not based in reality at all

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

>Germany is not coming back.

Economic forecast for Germany

TLDR:

• Economic activity is expected to stagnate in 2025 due to trade tensions weighing on exports

• Private consumption is nevertheless projected to expand slightly in 2025, boosted by increases in purchasing power and lower interest rates

• Investment is expected to stagnate in 2025 - also related to the elevated geopolitical uncertainty

• **In 2026, growth is projected to rebound to 1.1%**, as domestic demand strengthens, driven by continued consumption growth and a gradual recovery in investment.

• (Note that **government spending** -especially infrastructure and defense spending- will have a positive effect on GDP growth in 2025 and 2026, but are **not yet included in this forecast** as the government has not yet detailed its intentions.)

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.

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.
