spent embarrassingly long trying to figure out if can post multiple pics to one post.
Sorry for the dump comrades and please let me know if there's a better way to post a few pics all together.

You are the best don't you apologize for even one second.
Where are my "German economy will collapse in 5 days 4 hours and 46 minutes" articles? Perhaps we need a Gordon Hans or something
Do Germany's collapsing industry and exploding cost of living signal its imminent demise?

The budget hole is actually not a big deal.
There was way less national debt before Covid-19 but the actual issue is that in 2011, the neoliberals pushed through a constitutional amendment requiring the country to have a balanced budget.
Then Covid comes and the war in Ukraine. The covid expenses are a given, but then the government pumps a lot of money into the military because the government sees itself as part of the western bloc and wants it to survive.
So they ran a deficit budget for two years as an arbitrary exemption, and now the constitutional court says "you can't actually" - so the government is gonna do austerity now and throw people under the tank it just bought.
There's no risk of collapse whatsoever. It's just the new (old) form of the bourgeois state enforcing bourgeois interests.
Hope this all collapses soon
