    Germany’s central bank, the Bundesbank, has cited the strikes as one potential factor in the country’s GDP contracting by 0.3% year-on-year in the final quarter of 2023 and shrinking over the entire year combined.

    Ohh, the economy, the sacred economy! Of course, it’s the fault of workers striking, it has nothing to do with a decade of neoliberal policy and sticking your head in the sand about both the climate and Putin!

        The corrupt conservatives and neoliberals are merely two sides of the same coin. One is about not introducing new regulations the industry doesn’t like, the other about removing those regulations if they managed to get passed anyway.
