Once you bundle escalating energy prices, EU-mandated home renovations, the German gov't E-car mandate, and the suggested heat-pump replacing oil/natural gas heating....can the typical mid-grade German afford this....all at the same time?
Over the past month, I've pondered this.
Maybe if your wages were 40,000 Euro a year after taxes....you might be able to dump vacations for five years, and really skimp out on the 'little' things. But I suspect that in five years....the bulk of society will be disgruntled about what is demanded of them.
The people who marginally bring home 20,000 Euro after taxes each year? They are royally screwed.
The current EU crew and SPD-led coalition? I don't think they've added up the cost to a typical family.
So I'm suggesting that as months go by....the AfD Party will politically place themselves as the 'savior' (crappy phrase to use) for the common man, and attack both the EU and the SPD folks.
It won't be a pleasant period, and a lot of resentment will be built up.
Avoiding? I think the bulk of the political system is charged-up and see this all as a crisis period worth creating.
