Under the failed leadership of highly unpopular Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Germany’s decadence has become an unavoidable issue, even in the MSM.
You can find The Economist asking itself, Is Germany once again the sick man of Europe? Or the Financial Times warning that Germany faces the threat of creeping deindustrialization.
There’s also Bloomberg predicting that Germany’s Days as an Industrial Superpower Are Coming to an End, and the Associated Press noting that Germany’s economy is seen shrinking again in the current quarter as business confidence declines.
So, in this bleak outlook, the fabled German ‘geniuses’ come up with an ‘innovative’ idea: legalizing pot. That’ll turn things around and put the country on a path to development and harmony, right? <insert facepalm>
In a step toward the legalization of cannabis – and after facing strong opposition from lawmakers inside their own ruling coalition, Germany is set to approve the decriminalization of cannabis for recreational use tomorrow (23).
The measure is expected to take effect – of all days – on April Fool’s Day.
