politics

In germany, artillery shells are considered a "nachwachsender Rohstoff", which is why these didn't get axed with other climate-damaging subsidies

Listen, once we finally get rid of the imported antisemitism and right wing politics by deporting and/or [redacted] all the brown people here, this country will stand again as a bastion against the horros of fascism, much like in WW2 where our entire armed forces were conscentious objectors forced into the logistics of putting jews in the camps by the evil nazis which seducted this noble, white, blond, blue eyed land into killing every minority.

Wait so Germany can't accrue debt on like the national level??

Or on the state level, or the municipal level. All unconstitutional.

How is this a functional economy???

Oh buddy. Anyways, it's mostly kept afloat by exploitation of mostly immigrant labour following Schröders neoliberalization in the early aughts. It's where none of the often touted strong german workers rights apply in any way, shape or form, since the only option for enforcement is suing your own employer, as the respective state bureaus for enforcement are so underfunded your average company can expect 1 visit from them in around 15 - 20 years, depending on the state.

They just exploit other countries in the EU ala Greece.

Eliminating subsidies for new vehicle construction is... imho... not necessarily a bad thing.

No it's absolutely great actually, there`s 0 reason to send even more money directly to car manufacturers and that's all this shit ever does

They're still building too many, but if they want to kick the corner of the automotive industry with the best chance of growth in the balls... Maybe that's good.

It's just about not paying out. The subsidy would've gone to the consumers, not the car manufacturers - they get their money from the contracts people signed thinking they'd get the subsidy anyways. But you can only get the subsidy after registering the car, and seeing as it has been cancelled yesterday spontaneously, unless you're lucky and your municipality has already taken the step to offer the online form for it, you couldn't actually do that since all responsible municipal bureas for car registration are closed on weekends.

Which, again: lol, lmao

EDIT: Just as a side note as per the online form for car registration: you register it with a federal bureau. In the analogue world your documents however would get checked and the entry done by your municipality or county. The online form however is NOT provided by the federal bureau to it's citizens, but instead has to be provided by the responsible municipality or county, of which there are around 600. All this to send some data directly to a federal bureau. But since this country is living perpetual 1990 and computers aren't a thing, about 2/3rds of responsible municipalities and countys will have their access to the online form cut due in the next few days on account of not following and getting audited on the required IT-Security Guidelines.
